  • Patent number: 5669550
    Abstract: A non-round convolute paperboard container comprising a closed bottom and an upstanding continuous sidewall which together form a main storage cavity for storing goods. The container includes a closure lid which forms a lid compartment for separately storing goods apart from goods stored in the main cavity. The closure lid may take the form of a recessed well, a dome cover or a combination of the two. The container when viewed transversely of its longitudinal axis is curvilinear oblong or oval in shape such that oblong objects such as serving utensils or marketing toys can be stored within the lid compartment.

  • Patent number: 5242077
    Abstract: A removable partition for dividing a container into compartments. In a first embodiment the partition takes the form of an upper paper disk and a lower foam disk. The edges of the partition are bent upwardly such that the edge portion of the foam will contact the interior of the container, providing a much better hold than just paper. In a second embodiment, the partition is formed of upper and lower paper disks. The disks are secured together in an area spaced inwardly from the edges, such that the edges of the disks are not connected. The edges may thus be slightly spaced and provide a wider area of engagement with the inner walls of the container, providing a better hold than a single paper disk.
