  • Patent number: 8651365
    Abstract: A cover for a box containing a fluid includes a top panel with a tuck flap. A perforated end of the tuck flap is coupled to a detachable attachment along a perforated line. The attachment includes instructions for forming the cover and also includes user-fillable labels. When the cover is in an assembled state, the perforated line forms a perforated edge that is tucked between panels of the cover and therefore hidden from view. A front panel of the cover includes an opening having edges. At least portions of the edges are inserted into a peripheral slot of a spigot that is coupled to a bladder contained in the box to provide additional support to the spigot and secure the cover to the box.

  • Patent number: 7909193
    Abstract: A cap for a package containing granular or particulate food, such as pet food, for example includes a measuring cup portion, which is shaped to cover a sealable cap on the container, and a holding portion designed to be held in one hand while filling the measuring cup portion with the granular food. The holding portion includes a wall thickness, which is the same wall thickness found in other portions of the cap. The top and bottom surfaces of the holding portion have top and bottom protrusions, respectively. The top and bottom protrusions are aligned with each other to provide added thickness in the holding portion that makes it easier to grip the holding portion and that conveys a more substantial feel to the hand to make it easier to hold the cap.

  • Patent number: 7744101
    Abstract: Product trolleys include a base, a sling assembly, and a roller assembly. The base includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall opposing the first sidewall, and an endwall extending between the first and second sidewalls. The base defines an inner surface, a first open end, a second open end opposite the first open end, and a top opening opposite the endwall. The base includes a spring action between the first sidewall and the second sidewall, such that the base is configured to be flexed to receive and releasably secure the product between the first and the second sidewalls. The sling assembly is secured to the base and includes a substantially flexible body formed of sheet material. The roller assembly is secured to the base proximate the endwall.

  • Patent number: 7587849
    Abstract: The shape of a marketing display insert allows it to be used in different price label fixtures. The shape of the marketing display insert is defined by a base portion that is wider than it is tall, a support portion that extends from the base portion, and a flag portion that extends from the support portion and is cantilevered over and separated from the base portion. For shelf-type display structures, cantilevering a flag above a base portion allows the marketing display insert to be inserted into the top of a price label fixture. For peg hook-type display structures, the space between the base portion and the flag portion allows the base portion to be inserted into a price label fixture from the side. In addition, a score between the flag portion and the support portion allows the flag portion to be bent out of plane from the base portion.
