Abstract: A box includes a container portion, the container portion defining a top end and a bottom end, the container portion defining a cavity; a telescoping portion attached to the top end of the container portion, the telescoping portion selectively reconfigurable about and between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration, a portion of the telescoping portion being positioned within the cavity in the retracted configuration, the telescoping portion disposed external to the cavity in the extended configuration; and a dividing portion disposed within the cavity, the dividing portion defining a plurality of cells within the cavity.

Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods relate to improved tamper-proof cases for securely storing and shipping products. A case can include a back panel, two sidewalls, an upper foldable section, and a lower foldable section. Each of the features of the case can be manufactured on a single sheet of material. The upper and lower foldable sections include panels having apertures for holding the top and bottom of a product, respectively. The upper foldable section includes one or more fasteners that secures the upper foldable section to the sidewalls. Once secured, the products cannot be removed from the case without showing evidence of the removal. The disclosed systems also provide a tear strip and/or a tear corner that can be used to release the products from the sealed case.

Abstract: A carrier comprises a lifting assembly and a box assembly. The lifting assembly defines at least one platform surface and at least one shoulder portion. The box assembly defines at least one intermediate slot. The at least one intermediate slots receives a portion of the main member such that the at least one shoulder portion engages at least a portion of the box assembly to transfer downward loads on the box assembly to the lifting assembly.

Abstract: A portable carrier for storing and displaying rolled blueprints and other construction documents (“Carrier”). The Carrier includes a compact storage case with an opening for the passage of flexible backing material and documents. A cylindrical roller, mounted inside of the compact storage case, rotates axially to allow unfurling and retracting of flexible backing material. Means for unfurling and retracting the flexible backing material are provided, utilizing a retracting handle and a manual retractor cap respectively. Means for attaching and detaching display documents are provided using Velcro® Brand material affixed to the top of the flexible backing material and mating document Velcro® Brand fastening strips attached to the backs of the display documents. Documents are held down during display using a document fastener assembly.

Abstract: A composite carrier (10) has a handle structure (20) with a hand-gripping portion (22, 23) in upright relation to an attached article-engaging panel structure (24, 25). In one embodiment of the handle structure (20) the panel structure is a pair of panels (22, 23) formed from flexible sheet material. Each sheet (22, 24) has at least one deformable aperture (31) for engaging the neck of an article (31). In an alternate embodiment of the handle structure (40) the panel structure is a panel (44) attached in generally perpendicular relation to the hand-gripping portion. The generally horizontal panel has at least one neck-receiving aperture (46). Each neck-receiving aperture (46) has at least one foldably attached tab (48) extending inwardly into the aperture for engaging the flanged neck of an article such as the crown of a bottle. The second part of the composite carrier (10) is a tubular, wrap-around type carton (30) having top, side and bottom walls.

Abstract: The invention provides a lifting device for lifting a group of containers held together by a holding device. The lifting device is of cut and creased sheet material and has a tongue which is passed through an aperture or each of or several apertures in the holding device, and flaps of the tongues folded back onto the tongues spring out to rest against the containers and engage under the holding device so that lifting of the lifting device effects lifting of the containers by the flaps engaging under the holding device.

Abstract: An improved carrier for bottles is formed from a paperboard tube having top, bottom and end walls. Parallel fold lines in the top wall of the tube provide a thin flattened ridge at the top of the handle portion of the assembled carrier. Flaps within hand opening cut-outs are folded in and upwardly between the major center panels forming the center partition of the carrier, the lateral cut edges of the flaps bearing against the ridge of the carrier, thereby adding strength in the handle portion. A fold line in one flap presents a flattened surface in the upper portion of the hand opening upon assembly of the carrier, affording greater comfort in carrying the carrier, and cooperates with the aforementioned flattened ridge to form a beam structure which greatly increases the strength of the handle portion of the carrier.

Abstract: A carrier for one or more stackable articles formed from a paperboard blank of generally rectangular configuration. The blank is folded about a score line intermediate its short ends so that adjacent regions are divergent at an angle. A pair of aligned slots in each adjacent region serve as a hand-hold. The blank further has confronting side panels extending downwardly from the adjacent, divergent regions, and panel portions cut from the side panels are folded toward one another along score lines adjacent free ends of the blank in formation of openings in the side panels, and are fastened to one another in provision of a bottom for the carrier. An article may be carried singly, or several stacked upon one another while supported on the bottom and projecting through, and retained within blank portions that define, the side-panel openings.

Abstract: A carrier and handle therefor are provided which are formed from a blank of foldable sheet material. The handle includes a pair of spaced, depending end means and a hand-gripping unit which spans the distance between the end means and is foldably connected thereto. The unit is provided with a pair of elongated panel sections arranged in upright face-to-face relation and having upper peripheral segments thereof interconnected by an elongated foldline, the ends of which are spaced inwardly from the end means. Gusset sections are interposed the ends of the foldline and the adjacent end means. Each gusset section includes foldably connected first and second members. Each first member is foldably connected to corresponding peripheral portions of the panel sections. The second member of each gusset section is foldably connected to an upper peripheral portion of the adjacent end means. The hand-gripping unit is manually adjustable between operative and inoperative modes.

Abstract: An open-ended, sleeve type carrier carton having an advertising display panel foldably connected to an end of the carton top wall and also having a locking tab engageable with the panel to retain it in a generally vertical position.
