  • Patent number: 10717563
    Abstract: Provided herein is a collapsible bulk-sized shipping box made of corrugated plastic. The rectangular box comprises four joined sidewalls, wherein left and right sidewalls are bisected by vertical fold lines allowing the sidewalls to be collapsed inwards. Bottom flaps also extend from the bottom of respective sidewalls and hinge inward about a fold line to provide a bottom side of the box when in use or fold flush with the sidewall when collapsed. The front wall of the box comprises a door flap that hinges inward and outward about a fold line. In addition, a door retaining puck attached to an outer surface of the front wall and configured to resist the door flap opening outward but deflect under application of sufficient force thereby allowing the door flap to open outward completely and provide access to the interior of the box.

  • Publication number: 20080009872
    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved contourable surgical fixation device that is made from a resorbable material and useful in bone reconstruction. In one embodiment, the fixation device may be made of a polymeric material. The fixation device comprises a plurality of spaced-apart fastening plates, links interconnecting the plates, and openings defined between the fastening plates by the links and fastening plates. In one embodiment, at least some of the fastening plates have fastener holes therethrough for receiving a fastener, such as a screw or tack, to secure the fixation device to the bone. The present invention provides an open-structured fixation device that is capable of being contoured in three dimensions to approximate the anatomical shape of a bone to which the fixation device may be attached.
