Abstract: A carton carrying handle particularly adapted for use with a wraparound type carton in which cans, e.g., soft drink or beer cans, are sold. The handle includes a handle flap defined in the carton's top panel by a free edge cut line disposed substantially transversed to the panel's longitudinal axis, and by a generally curved hinge line located opposite to and spaced from the free edge cut line with that curved hinged line being bowed toward the free edge cut line. An extender cut line is connected to each end of the curved hinge line so as to constitute co-linear extensions of the hinge line, each of those extender cut lines being of a length that traverses an adjacent fold line which connects the top wall panel and an adjacent side wall panel so that each extender cut line terminates within a side wall panel. Each end of the free edge cut line is connected with an adjacent extender cut line so as to fully define the handle flap.

Abstract: Longitudinal extensions of the outer panel of a double-walled insert closure box form tabs to opposite sides of an open-ended tubular sleeve of a rectangular cross-section having opposed longitudinal spaced end walls within which rectangular, parallelepiped, hollow insert closure boxes are inserted. Narrow elongated slots within the sleeve end walls and the box end walls extending parallel to the outer panel, insertably receive an integral lug at the terminal end of the tabs. The lugs have laterally opposed projections forming a barb of a width in excess of the length of the elongated slots to frictionally lock the insert closure box to the tubular sleeve when the extensions are bent at right angles to the outer panel and the lugs bent at right angles thereto and passed through the aligned slots. Insert closure boxes at respective ends of the tubular sleeve, are preferably formed of folded cardboard sheet material precut as a single box blank from a sheet of cardboard.

Abstract: A paperboard carton blank including a first panel having side walls connected thereto by scored fold lines formed between a respective one of the side walls and a respective edge of the first panel is disclosed. A second panel is provided having a side wall connected thereto by a scored fold line formed between the side wall and an edge of the second panel. A seal flap is provided and extends a predetermined distance from a predetermined edge of one of the side walls of the first panel, the predetermined edge of the side wall being that edge which extends adjacent to a predetermined edge of the second panel of a carton formed from the blank. The blank also includes opposing end panels connected to each of the side walls and the first and second panels with each of the end walls having a die cut edge.

Abstract: An accessory saddle member for attachment to an existing golf bag by saddling a back portion of the golf bag and lapping opposing sides of the golf bag, the accessory saddle member being fabricated from a pliable waterproof or water-resistant material, and including pockets thereon for carrying golf related and personal items, where the pockets are closeable. An aperture is provided in the body of the accessory saddle member for receiving a handle of the golf bag to position the body on the golf bag. The body is provided with upper and lower straps on one side thereof so that the straps can be positioned around the golf bag and the ends of the straps can be secured by releasable fasteners to the opposite side of the body to securely hold the body on the golf bag.

Abstract: A package of the type having a container with a bottom surface, a peripheral wall, and a peripheral lip includes a lid secured to the peripheral lip. At least one side flap is secured to the lid and is oriented to extend away from the lid toward the bottom surface, and at least one bottom flap is secured to the side flap and to the bottom surface. The side edges of the lid and the side flap define a plane oriented substantially perpendicular to the lid such that the package is stable when resting on the side edges of the lid and the side flap. At least a portion of the side edge of the bottom flap is angled away from this plane toward the bottom surface. The side flap is oriented perpendicular to both the lid and the plane defined by the side edges of the lid and side flap.

Abstract: A container for liquids and bulk materials is made from a blank having a plurality of sets of folding lines thereon. The container comprises a substantially parallelipipedic body having side walls and laterial edges between the side walls, the lateral edges comprising a first set of folding lines of the blank, and a funnel-shaped portion on top of the body comprising faces extending from the side walls, the head portion tapering in cross-section towards a central annular opening of predetermined shape. The head portion further comprises triangular folding pockets folded inwardly along a second set of folding lines towards the interior of the head portion and outwardly along a third set of folding lines so that the folding pockets are disposed in pairs and bear along interior surfaces of the faces. The folding pockets are sealed to the interior surfaces along the interior folds and along upper edges of the folding pockets so that the folding pockets are closed off to the interior of the head portion.

Abstract: Folded container with a base and four side panels that are connected by pairs of gusset sections which are folded into place. One section of each of the pairs of gusset sections is provided with a tap which rests against and is attached to the outside of one side panel once the side panels have been folded upwards. A particularly effective way to attach these tabs is to provide cut lines in the side panel which the tabs engage and lock with.

Abstract: There is disclosed herein a flat top end closure for a liquid carrying container, which includes two oppositely disposed, overlapped outer closure panels, and two oppositely disposed, three-segment fold-in panels, one of which serves as the pour spout when opened. Each of the three-segment fold-in panels includes a substantially triangular panel portion defined by converging diagonal score lines extending from the upper edge of the tubular container body, and a pair of fold-back panels integrally connected to and folded between the substantially triangular panel portion and the respective adjacent outer closure panels. Diagonal opening-assist score lines are formed on the outer closure panels at a lesser angle with respect to horizontal than the angle of the respective underlying converging diagonal score lines. Alternatively, the diagonal opening-assist score lines are formed in a parallel relationship with the respective underlying converging diagonal score lines.

Abstract: A removal element is superposed on and joined to the periphery of an aperture which is preformed or precut on one face of a bag constituting part of a Bag-in-Box package.A supporting framework is superposed on the removable element, certain edges of which framework, preferably two, approximately coincide with the edges of the removable part, while the other edges of the latter are covered by the body of the framework.A margined corner of the removable part is left free to be grasped by the user in order to initiate the detachment and the tearing of the removable part. In order to facilitate the tearing, notches are provided, which are formed on one edge of the removable part. The tearing proceeds along the edges of the framework which cover the removable part so as to uncover, partially or entirely, the preformed or precut aperture which is present on one face of the bag.

Abstract: Folded sleeve for several objects arranged in two rows next to each other, with a top panel, two side panels and a base consisting of two sections. Tabs are cut out of one base section which engage openings in the other base section and lock with further tabs there.

Abstract: A bag-like envelope is sized to receive a keyboard. The envelope has a reclosable and resealable opening for receiving the keyboard and another sealable opening for the electrical cable from the keyboard. A transparent panel of the envelope overlies the keys on one face of the keyboard. Air is evacuated from the interior of the envelope to cause the transparent panel to be drawn down onto the keys on the keyboard.
