Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to blanks for a collapsible, folded container for food that include a lower panel and an upper panel. The upper panel can include a hinge portion hingedly connecting the lower panel to the upper panel. The blanks include a lengthwise fold line extending along a length of the blanks, a first lateral fold line extending across the lower panel, and a second lateral fold line extending across the upper panel. The blanks can be adapted to be folded into a container configuration, subsequently unfolded into an unfolded configuration, and then re-folded into a collapsed configuration.

Abstract: A carrier device with article receiving compartments on either side of a partial central wall and handle portion. The handle being separate from the central wall and moveable relative thereto between a raised position and a lowered position. The handle can be retained in either the raised or lowered positions by hook formations and is connected to the carrier device by interconnecting webs extending from the side walls.

Abstract: There is provided a basket style bottle carrier having a lengthwise central wall 30, 31 and receiving compartments for bottles 12 on each side of the central wall. A handle portion 14, which is separate from the central wall 30, 31, is connected to the remainder of the carrier device by interconnecting webs 17 extending from the side walls 23 of the compartments. The handle 14 is movable relative to the central wall 30, 31 between raised and lowered positions. In some arrangements the handle portion 14 has a downwardly extending portion 21 with hook formations 22 for engaging in notches 38 to retain the handle 14 in its lowered position.

Abstract: A multi-unit foldable carrier including a pair of opposed side walls, a pair of opposed end walls and a bottom wall, formed from two panels, adjacent to the side and end walls to form an open, generally rectangular container. A handle allows the carrier to be lifted and is formed from at least two panels extending upwardly from the bottom wall and also acting to divide the generally rectangular container into at least two sections. A divider construction is coupled to at least one of the side walls or one of the end walls for further dividing the rectangular container into more than two separate volumes. Each of the side walls, end walls, bottom wall panels, handle means and divider means is formed as sections of a single sheet of laminar stock demarcated by scored lines adapted to allow the sheet to be folded along the creased lines to form each of the sections. A multi-unit foldable carrier which is capable of receiving more than two items in the more than two volumes of the container is provided.

Abstract: A basket-style carrier designed to be automatically squared during fabrication. Squaring tabs at the lower ends of riser panels extend into slots in the end edges of the outer bottom panel flap to align the bottom panel flaps. The tabs are then folded over and glued to the outer face of the outer bottom panel flaps to strengthen the bottom panel.

Abstract: A collapsible carrier for tapered articles is disclosed. The carrier includes a pair of upright handle panels secured together in a face-to-face contacting relationship, a pair of divergent upper panels foldably joined respectively to the lower edges of the handle panels, and a pair of convergent lower panels foldably interconnected with the upper panels to form in cooperation with the upper panels a tubular structure. Each upper panel has an article-receiving aperture. Each lower panel also has an article-receiving aperture. The receiving aperture in each upper panel is vertically aligned with that in the adjacent lower panel. The summation of the widths of the lower panels is less than that of the widths of the upper panels so that the tubular structure is prevented from collapsing flat when at least one of the vertically aligned pairs of the receiving apertures are loaded with an article.

Abstract: A basket-style article carrier for carrying nonbreakable articles. A divider strap is connected to and extends between opposite side panels. The strap is connected to the side panels by a glue flap at each end, one of which is connected by fold line to the upper edge of the associated side panel. The strap causes the carrier to resist bowing when an article is removed, thereby preventing excessive sagging which otherwise tends to allow the remaining articles in the carrier to fall out.

Abstract: A basket-style carrier constructed so as to maintain the carrier open during loading. The end panels of the carrier are formed from overlapping end panel sections. Each end panel section is connected to a handle panel support by a fold line. The overlapping end panel section includes a wide portion that extends transversely beyond the fold line connecting it to the handle panel support. This causes the two sections to function as a unit, preventing the end panels from collapsing about their fold lines during loading. In addition, a bottom panel forming flap is connected to one of the end panel sections at each end of the carrier. This flap is adhered to the bottom panel flaps to tighten the construction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a split box, in particular a bottle case, having handles wherein the halves or parts of the case can be locked and unlocked by handles acting on engaging locking members of the case. The case has relatively displaceable handles for locking and unlocking. One of these handles is preferably associated with each half or part of the case. The halves or parts of the case are locked and unlocked by a sliding movement of the handles.

Abstract: A carton structure erectable by folding from a substantially flat blank includes two side panels, a bottom panel, two top panels, a center divider panel and two end panels, each extending from the bottom panel. Each end panel has slot means for engaging the center divider panel when the carton is erected. The carton structure further includes four reinforcing areas, each having a first edge connected by a first fold line to an end panel and a second edge connected by a second fold line to one of the side panels.

Abstract: A food container formed from a first sheet of paperboard and a second sheet, preferably of an insulating material, the first sheet having side, end, bottom, and top wall portions, foldable relative to one another, and attachable at selected locations, to form an enclosure, with the second sheet thermally subdividing the enclosure to form two separated compartments therein. The second sheet lies in a plane generally perpendicular to the bottom of the container, with a handle portion of the second sheet coacting with a handle portion of the first sheet to provide a carrying handle for the container.

Abstract: The specification discloses a collapsible article carrier formed from a folded sheet of material that is alternatively foldable into a substantially flat, collapsed position and an open position for receiving articles. The article carrier includes a bottom member having first and second bottom panels. First and second side walls are hingedly joined along bottom edges thereof to edges of the first and second bottom panels. First and second end panels are hingedly joined to edges of the first side wall, and third and fourth end panels are hingedly joined to edges of the second side wall. The first and third end panels are hingedly joined to form a first end wall. The second and fourth end panels are hingedly joined to form a second end wall.
