Abstract: A preassembled display stand and container assembly comprises a rectangular box container including side panels and a bottom formed from interleaved flaps. A display stand has front and back walls and accordian foldable side walls with the front and back walls connected at their tops to opposed ones of the interleaved flaps. The stand is constructed and arranged to collapse to a flat configuration and wrap around the container to form a shipping configuration of the assembly, and the container and stand collapse laterally as an integrated unit to a flat stackable configuration of the assembly. When the stand is unfolded it supports the container and goods therein above the floor for display and sale.

Abstract: A knockdown bulk container for storing and shipping bulk quantities of fluid and semi-fluid substances including an annular base, an annular cap and a circular side wall. The side wall is formed of a number of paperboard slats adhered to a sheet of paperboard. The side wall is adapted to be folded into a substantially flat condition for shipping and storing and formed into a cylinder which is inserted in the annular base for filling of the container. Interlocking blocks adhered respectively to the outside of the base of the side wall and to the inside of the annular base secure the side wall in the base.

Abstract: A self-erecting container 20 has a removable section 32 adjacent the engaging panels of a self-erecting end structure, and a permanent web which supports the self-erecting structure notwithstanding separation of the removable panel. A front side wall panel 24 has a removable section 32 at an end of the container adjacent the self-erecting structure 42, 44, 54, 56. A flap panel 44 is attached at least initially to the removable section 32. An end panel 56 adjacent the flat panel 44 has a back-folded tab 62 fixed to the flap panel 44 by a permanently attached web 60, maintaining the structural integrity of the self-erecting container bottom when removable section 32 is separated from front side wall panel 24.

Abstract: A paper blank for a disposable ashtray which can be compactly folded for packaging and readily assembled by a consumer for use. The bottom flap of the assembled ashtray is secured in place by tabs received within slots. The ashtray may include cigarette receiving slots and a snuffer.

Abstract: Quick assembly and knock-down box has a lower open end which closes upon opening or assembly of the box by having two pairs of adjacent closing panels connected to each other and having configurations and fold lines to cause the closing panels to unfold to positions where all closing panels mesh or mate to form a substantially closed bottom wall suitable for supporting a plastic liner filled with liquid such as oil. The blank for the box and the oil recycling kit which incorporates the box are described.

Abstract: An automatically-operated bottom structure for an eight-sided container includes a pair of bottom flaps (66,69) pivotally connected to pair of opposed first panels (13,18), and band pivotally connected to an opposed pair of second panels (11,15) arranged substantially perpendicular to the first panels. The band and bottom flaps are folded within the container when the container is in a folded-flat condition, but are adapted to automatically form an operative bottom structure when the folded-flat container is moved to a fully-expanded condition.

Abstract: A multiwalled container made of corrugated paper board and formed from an open ended sleeve of such multiwalled container board is provided with an end closure that is discreet from the sleeve but is connected thereto via flaps connected to the outer surface of the walls of the sleeve. The closure includes at least one panel connected to the sleeve by the flaps and providing a bridging member extending across the open end of the sleeve and functioning to resist outward deflection of the side walls of the sleeve via tension in the bridging member when said container is erected and foldable into the interior of said sleeve when said container is in knock down condition.

Abstract: This invention provides a foldable cardboard cup, especially one which comprises a conical wall having two symmetrical angular parts tapering to the bottom so that it can be folded into a rectangular piece, and a base having two symmetrical angular parts to facilitate the folding of the angular parts of the conical wall, and two inverted V-shaped parts formed from the apex of the conical base so that after being unfolded, the cup can stand in a fixed form without fear of returning to its original (folded) form when in use.

Abstract: A box blank for a produce box has four side panels which are hinged together along score lines. An extension flap adjacent one of the side panels is wrapped around and glued to the panel at the opposite end of the blank. The side two major and two minor panels each have an appropriate length flap attached to one edge which is unscored and is to be folded into the top, and a flap on the other edge which is appropriately scored for folding to form the bottom of the box. More specifically, two minor and two major panels are attached to edges of the side panels, at a scored hinge line. Each minor panel has a triangle scored thereon, the base of the triangle being the hinge line with the side flap. One end of each major panel is attached to a minor panel; the other end of each major panel has a score line, roughly defining a triangle which will overlap 1/2 of the triangle scored onto the minor flap.

Abstract: A cardboard container having a dispensing opening formed in the lower portion of its front wall through which articles can be withdrawn. The container has a bottom wall that is elevated from its lower end. The front portions of the lower edges of the side walls and the lower edge of the front wall overhanging the front edge of the bottom wall, whereby the bottom wall has an area less than the cross-sectional area container space above the bottom wall. When a stack of articles are housed in the container with the lowermost article resting on the bottom wall it will overhang the bottom wall in the area of the dispensing opening and can be manipulated from the underside of its overhanging portion and removed from the container through the dispensing opening from the container.

Abstract: Carton capable of being collapsed to flat condition and having a substantial number of dividers to separate the contents, which dividers are constructed of double thickness to provide vertical strength and allow substantial stacking.

Abstract: A paperboard blank and carton are provided with a securely and redundantly lockable closure. The front panel of the carton formed from the blank includes an aperture extending therethrough and at least one locking cut line. A top panel is hingedly moveable between an opened and a closed condition. A front flap articulated to the top panel in turn includes a locking tab and a locking flap. The locking tab engages the aperture in the front panel, while the locking flap engages the locking cut line.
