Abstract: A folding box made of cardboard includes a blank which forms four lateral surfaces, a cover, and a base of a cuboid and which includes four main folding lines which divide the blank into four main surfaces and a securing surface. Each of the main surfaces has a main surface segment, which forms a respective lateral surface of the cuboid after the securing surface is secured to the opposite main surface, and multiple auxiliary folding lines, which run transversely to the main folding lines and each of which connects one of the main surface segments to an auxiliary surface segment. The auxiliary surface segments form the cover and the base of the cuboid.

Abstract: A multi-compartment package for dispensing plural items is disclosed. The package includes plural individual sealed compartment units which are releasably secured to each other. Each compartment unit includes a flanged base from which a chamber depends. The chamber serves to hold an item to be dispensed and is surrounded by a flange. A closure member, in the form of a respective portion of a frangible cover sheet, is adhesively secured to the flange of each compartment unit. Each compartment unit includes at least one foldable tab in a corner of its flange, which can be folded down to enable the closure member to be removed from the compartment unit after the compartment unit is separated from other compartment units of the package.

Abstract: A container for storing and dispensing continuous lengths of chain includes a base having a hollow interior for storing the chain. The base has an open end defined by a top edge. The container also includes a lid that has a storage orientation and a dispensing orientation in which the lid is inverted relative to the storage orientation. The lid includes a first opening for dispensing the chain from the hollow interior. A coupling member of the lid is configured to attach the lid to the open end of the base in each of the storage and dispensing orientations. The coupling member can be configured to produce a releasable snap-fit between the lid and the base.

Abstract: An easy to carry lightweight carton for shipping and storing cut paper and for providing rapid and easy access to the paper when the carton is opened. The carton has a base portion and a lid pivotally attached to the base portion. A front wall of the carton may be pivoted down when the lid is pivoted up to facilitate access to the contents of the carton for ease of unloading of paper from the carton. A carry handle is built into the lid to facilitate carrying of the carton. The carton may be re-closed after it is opened.

Abstract: Improved matchbooks having separable message sheets are provided for. The novel matchbooks each comprise a comb of matches having a plurality of matches and a cover. The cover is attached to and folded over the comb such that the cover substantially encloses the comb when the cover is in a first closed position and permits a consumer to access the matches in the comb when the cover is in a second open position. The cover has igniting material on the cover on which the matches may be struck and ignited. The matchbooks also have a message sheet providing a substrate on which a message may be imprinted. The message sheet is separably connected to the cover such that the message sheet is separable from the cover. Thus, the message sheet may be removed from a novel matchbook by a consumer without compromising the integrity of the matchbook.
