  • Patent number: 9919829
    Abstract: A container knockdown assembly capable of opening into an erected container assembly. The knockdown includes an unopened outer sleeve having first and second outer side panels opposing and substantially parallel to one another when in the knockdown form, and an unopened inner sleeve having first and second inner side panels opposing and substantially parallel to one another when in the knockdown form. The inner sleeve is secured within the outer sleeve in a positional relationship of the assembled container. A cutout is formed in a section of one of the outer corners of the outer sleeve to expose at least a portion of a corner of the inner corner. A container formed from such a knockdown is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20150102094
    Abstract: A container assembly having an inner container and an outer cover fixedly attached to one another. The inner container has multiple sidewalls for forming the inner container sidewalls and has a bottom forming flap attached thereto. The outer cover has multiple cover sidewalls that fit over the inner container sidewalls to enclose the inner container. At least one attachment member attached to and extending from the outer cover is attached to the bottom forming flap, thereby fixedly attaching the inner container to the outer container. The attachment member can be separated from the container outer cover to allow removal of the outer cover from the inner container without marring the finish of the outside face of the sidewalls of the inner container. A knockdown assembly that is erectable to form the container assembly is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20100288670
    Abstract: A container having multiple wall panels forming container sides, the container having at least first and second wall panels that meet at a first corner. The container is assembleable from a flat or knockdown state to an opened or assembled state. A first inner panel is attached to a first wall panel, the first inner panel having an end spaced from the first corner. A slidable corner support is attached to the end of the first inner panel and extends towards the second wall panel. When the container is assembled from the knockdown state, the slidable corner support moves away from the first corner to form a support member that can help support a container stacked on top and prevent nesting.

  • Patent number: 7798391
    Abstract: A container assembly having an inner container and an outer cover that fits over the inner container. The inner container is positioned within the outer cover. The outer cover includes an overlay formed in the outer cover sidewalls by a tear line allowing the overlay to be detached from the outer cover. An adhesive secures the inner container and the outer cover together with the adhesive being provided between the inner container and the overlay so that the overlay can detach from the outer cover and remain attached to the inner container over the adhesive when the outer cover is removed from the inner container. A knockdown assembly that can be erected into a container assembly is also provided.
