Abstract: A golf club cover device for semi-permanent attachment to a golf bag serves the purpose of promptly alerting a golfer to a missing golf club, particularly an iron. The device comprises a receiving member and an L-shaped meshing member. The receiving member has a main body with a passageway extending through it and a vertical hooking leg extending along one side. In use, the vertical hooking leg extends over an open-top edge of the golf bag and helps to hold the receiving member in place. A substantially horizontal leg of the L-shaped meshing member is configured to fit in the passageway of the receiving member for limited rotational movement. A protuberance on an enlarged terminus of the horizontal leg of the L-shaped member is used to engage a sidewall of the golf bag. A substantially vertical leg on the meshing member is used to hold the club cover. In use, the L-shaped meshing member rocks from a non-locking position to a locking position whereby the protuberance is forced into contact with the golf bag.

Abstract: This invention relates to a knob of a corrugated cardboard packing box which can prevent a danger of an external appearance of a packing box, has a cutting part 103 being cut, a bending part 105 connecting both edges of the cutting part 103, holes 110 formed between both edges of the cutting part and the bending part, for dispersing a stress applied in both edges of the cutting part 103.

Abstract: A Minimal Container, made of pre-cut corrugated cardboard strips fastened together at overlapping surfaces and folded to form a rectangular frame, without generating any scrap corrugated cardboard. The Minimal Container is intended to protect contents for one shipping application. Each side and top and bottom ends of the rectangular frame have an open area. Plastic film is wrapped around the Minimal Container, enclosing it and being connected to it, not only for dust and weather protection, but also to enhance structural rigidity of the Minimal Container. A method of constructing the Minimal Container includes gluing or stapling the corrugated cardboard strips together to form a ladder structure; scoring, slitting, and folding the ladder structure to form the rectangular frame; fastening the rectangular frame together; loading contents in to the rectangular frame; enclosing the rectangular frame with a flexible plastic film wrap; and connecting the flexible plastic film wrap to the rectangular frame.

Abstract: A one-piece, octagonal, bulk shipping container with a lock bottom arrangement that includes interlocking inner and outer bottom closure flaps wherein the inner closure flaps have lock tabs that extend downwardly through openings in the outer closure flaps to lock the flaps together and also which extend under lock tongues of the outer closure flaps to function as a cushion for the contents of the container.
