Abstract: A thermoformed packaging container includes a base section having a bottom surface, first and second inner and outer base side walls, and first and second inner and outer base end walls forming a chamber, with at least one outer base one side wall having a plurality of base indentations and protrusions formed therein. A cover section having a top surface, first and second cover side walls, and first and second cover end walls, the cover section adapted to cover the base section when in a closed state, with at least one of the cover side walls having a plurality of cover indentations and protrusions formed therein for engaging with the plurality of base indentations and protrusions. The container also includes a closure mechanism for securing the container in a closed position, wherein the closure mechanism is formed within at least one end wall of the base section and a corresponding end wall of the cover section.

Abstract: A thermoformed protective face shield includes a curved top portion adapted to conform to a curved lower portion of a rigid protective headwear. The face shield further includes a visor portion extending outward from a lower end of the curved top portion, thereby creating a space between the user's face and a face cover portion. The visor portion includes one or more channels formed therein for structural support and/or allowing release of heat and/or moisture from the face cover portion. The face cover portion extends downward from the visor portion and covers and provides protection for the face of a user. A side shield portion extends inwardly from the face cover portion. For shielding the sides of a user's face. Further, a perimeter flange may extend perpendicular to the perimeter of the face shield for providing structural support to the face shield.

Abstract: A unitary thermoformed protective face shield includes a curved top member adapted to conform to a user's forehead. The curved top member includes a plurality of exhaust channels formed therein for allowing ventilation. The face shield further includes a visor portion extending outward from a lower end of the curved top member, thereby creating a space between the user's face and a face cover portion. The face cover portion extends downward from the visor portion and covers and provides protection for the face of a user. A side shield portion extends inwardly from the face cover portion for shielding the sides of a user's face. Further, a perimeter flange may extend perpendicular to the perimeter of the face shield for providing structural support to the face shield.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a container with a closure-release mechanism relates to thermoforming a plastic sheet to form a container with a clam shell locking system in order to facilitate a secure closure and easy opening packaging container. The clam shell locking arrangement comprises a post which is secured in an aperture when the container is in closed state. The post is a projection or protrusion in a vertical or nearly vertical sidewall of the cover of the thermoformed package and fits securely into the aperture, which is a cut-out made in the outer, and optionally also the inner, wall segments of the vertical or nearly vertical surfaces of the base section of the thermoplastic containers.
