Publication number: 20230133280Abstract: A transparent, plastic, one-piece, tamper-resistant/evident container includes a cover portion including an outwardly extending peripheral flange and a base portion having an upper peripheral rim. A tamper-evident hinge joins the cover portion with the base portion. The hinge includes a frangible section. When the container is closed, the outwardly extending peripheral flange of the cover portion abuts the upper peripheral rim of the base portion and the upper peripheral rim of the base portion extends beyond an outer edge of the outwardly extending peripheral flange of the cover portion and deters opening the container.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2022Publication date: May 4, 2023Applicant: Inline Plastics Corp.Inventors: Robert Sellari, Peter Boback, Bruce K.

Patent number: 10850916Abstract: Disclosed is a container for protecting baked goods during shipment that includes, among other elements, a lid and a base. The base includes a plurality of wells and interconnected posts. Each well is adapted for supporting a baked good during shipment. The interconnected posts are formed in the base and extend upwardly from a base bottom. Each post is positioned adjacent to at least one of the wells and includes a retainer shoulder that is positioned proximate an upper end of the post and adapted to positively capture baked goods in each of the adjacent wells.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2018Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Inline Plastics Corp.Inventors: Sameh Guirguis, Victor Ivenitsky, Daniel A.

Publication number: 20190322406Abstract: Disclosed are container base constructions and methods of making the same. Such container are adapted and configured to reduce or eliminate deformation of the base and/or sidewall when the container is filled and/or stacked. The containers have a sidewall that has a top end and a bottom end; and a base attached to the bottom end of the sidewall. The base of the container includes a center panel which is positioned above the bottom end of the sidewall and an outer convex section. In certain constructions, the center panel is flat. Alternatively, the center panel can be curved (e.g., convex).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2018Publication date: October 24, 2019Inventors: Irene Makarchuk, Daniel A.

Publication number: 20190119017Abstract: A container includes a base and a lid. A peripheral wall of the base terminates in a sealing flange extending outward from the peripheral wall of the base. The sealing flange includes a rail and a rim defining a groove therebetween. An upper surface of the lid terminates in a downwardly extending peripheral shoulder and an outwardly extending peripheral flange positioned outward from the downwardly extending peripheral shoulder. The outwardly extending peripheral flange of the lid abuts the rim when the container is closed. The rim extends beyond an outer edge of the outwardly extending peripheral flange of the lid substantially around the perimeter of the container. At least one surface of the downwardly extending peripheral shoulder engages at least one surface of the groove at a seal interface. The rail impedes the downwardly extending peripheral shoulder from moving in a direction away from the seal interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2017Publication date: April 25, 2019Inventors: Daniel A.

Patent number: 9630756Abstract: A tamper-resistant container with tamper-evident features includes a cover portion including an outwardly extending peripheral flange and a base portion an upper peripheral rim and a skirt depending downwardly therefrom. The upper peripheral rim extending substantially about the perimeter of the container and configured to substantially surround the outwardly extending peripheral flange of the cover portion to render the outwardly extending peripheral flange of the cover portion relatively inaccessible when the container is closed. The container includes a hinge joining the cover portion to the base portion. The vertical height of the hinge correlates with the height of the skirt that depends downwardly from the base portion when the height of the skirt is substantially uniform around the perimeter of the container. The hinge includes a frangible section including at least one line of weakness which, when severed, facilitates removal of the cover portion from the base portion.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2014Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: Inline Plastics Corp.Inventors: Robert Sellari, Peter Boback, Bruce K.

Patent number: 6253820Abstract: By providing a system for controllably applying and wrapping a label into direct, secure, affixed adhesive engagement with the flange or lip of a container, a dependable, effective, and reliable label applying apparatus and label application method is realized which securely affixes a tamper evident label in its entirety to a product container on a continuous production basis, totally eliminating unwanted tenting of labels. By employing the present invention, a product holding container, having a forwardly protruding lip or flange, is advanced towards a label dispensing zone with the label positioned for contacting the top surface of the forwardly protruding flange. Once the label is attached thereto, the label bearing flange/lip is advanced into contact with the label wrapping cam means for placing the label in the desired position.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 1999Date of Patent: July 3, 2001Assignee: Inline Plastics CorporationInventors: Daniel A.
