Abstract: A unique, multi-purpose, reusable and disposable product holding and displaying container system is achieved by providing a base member which incorporates locking means and a product display member which comprises a product holding zone and locking means constructed for rapid engagement and disengagement with the locking means of the base member. In the preferred embodiment, the product holding and displaying container system is formed from thermoformed or vacuum-formed plastic material, and is constructed to hold any desired product, particularly, baked goods and rack or hook display items. In one embodiment, the container system is constructed for being completely separated from any support panel, thereby providing a container which is easily reused for product storage until the product is fully consumed.

Abstract: This is apparatus for closing a box of the type having a hinged cover and flanges projecting from the edges of the cover and body opposite the hinged edges. The flanges have respectively a projection and a well aligned and constructed for the projection to snap into the well when the cover is closed and the flanges are pressed together. A conveyor belt carries the box from a first point along a path past a pair of spaced apart rotating rollers which are mounted edge to edge. A guide rail above the conveyor is positioned and curved to engage the outside of the box cover and swing it over onto the body of the box as the box is carried to the rollers. The rollers are located and spaced apart for the flanges on the cover and body of the box to pass through the bite of the rollers as the box is carried by.
