Patent number: 6935506Abstract: The invention relates to a photograph holder formed from a single blank and used to contain multiple photographs and a generally cylindrical film cartridge, such as an APS film cartridge. The photograph holder includes a photograph compartment for containing a plurality of photographs and film cartridge compartment formed from a panel created by cutting portions of the blank on at least one side edge of the holder and pushing the cut portions inward toward the interior of the holder. Unlike other photograph holders, the film cartridge is visible from the exterior of the photo holder so that consumers can view the unique APS identification number when the photo holder is closed. The photo holder is particularly useful in ensuring that the film cartridge is not separated from the corresponding photographs.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2002Date of Patent: August 30, 2005Assignee: Rock-Tenn CompanyInventors: Daniel J.

Patent number: 5806754Abstract: A folder for holding objects therein having two independently expandable pockets. A bottom end adjoins front and back panels along their respective bottom edges. A divider panel is disposed within the folder between the front and back panels separating the folder into two pockets. Each pocket includes a pair of expandable side panels permitting expansion of each pocket independent of the other. The bottom end is expandable between the front and back panels equal to the total combined expansion of the expandable sides of the two pockets. An open bottom corner is disposed between the bottom end and the expandable sides on each edge of the folder. The open comers permit free expansion of the expandable sides without interference from the bottom end. The bottom edge of the divider panel extends downward less than the front and back panels so that it does not interfere with full expansion of the bottom end.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 1997Date of Patent: September 15, 1998Assignee: Rock-Tenn CompanyInventor: Daniel J.

Patent number: 4548318Abstract: A reclosable carton includes a front wall provided with a lightly nicked circular portion. A top wall panel connected to a back wall is provided with a top wall panel extension defining a cover flap. Centrally located on the cover flap is a debossed circular area which is adapted to overlie and be adhesively secured to the lightly nicked circular portion on the front wall panel. As the cover flap is lifted by pulling outwardly and upwardly on the tab, it is torn between the pair of parallel score lines and the lightly nicked portion of the front wall adheres to the cover flap and is removed from the front wall to provide a dispensing opening through which articles may be singly dispensed from the interior of the carton. The cover flap may be rotated and pushed back against the carton front wall to cause the lightly nicked area of removed paperboard stock adhered to the cover flap to frictionally lock within the opening to reclose the carton.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 1983Date of Patent: October 22, 1985Assignee: Champion International CorporationInventor: Daniel J.
