Publication number: 20110297561Abstract: An easy to carry lightweight carton for shipping and storing cut paper and for providing rapid and easy access to the paper when the carton is opened. The carton has a base portion and a lid pivotally attached to the base portion. A front wall of the carton may be pivoted down when the lid is pivoted up to facilitate access to the contents of the carton for ease of unloading of paper from the carton. A carry handle is built into the base portion to facilitate carrying of the carton. The carry handle position causes the center of gravity of the carton to be closer to a user's body when carrying the carton. The carton may be re-closed after it is opened.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2011Publication date: December 8, 2011Applicant: INTERNATIONAL PAPER COMPANYInventor: TIMOTHY J. JUSTICE

Publication number: 20100243722Abstract: A substantially crimpless and monolithic paperboard container lid and method of making same is provided. The lid comprises a single contiguous molded paperboard body configured to conformingly couple to a top periphery of a container for covering the container's opening. The body includes a sealing ring located adjacent the body's periphery. The sealing ring includes a sealing channel composed of a radiused cross-section that extends to a tangent ring terminating with a tab ring. The radiused cross-section and tangent ring assist providing a snug fit between the lid and the container. Despite being made from paperboard, the lid does not include one or more substantial crimps in the sealing ring. Having no substantial crimps, the lid fits onto the container and prevents fluid from leaking between the container's periphery and the lid.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2010Publication date: September 30, 2010Inventors: Lonnie E. Hyder, Michael E. Tibbets

Publication number: 20040211823Abstract: The cup has a lid portion extending up from one side of the cup, configured to flip down into the body of the cup, along a first score line, going from convex to concave, so as to close the otherwise open top of the cup. Flaps extend preferably from the lid portion near its lateral intersections with the cup body outwardly from the cup, or alternatively from the cup body in the same area, but inwardly. In either case, the flaps overlie what might otherwise be a small gap between the lid and the cup body in that area. This reduces any possibility for liquid to escape via that small gap. In the case of the flaps extending outwardly from the lid, the flaps also tend to act as stops against excessive downward rotation of the lid, and provide an easy way to lift the lid to open the cup, if desired.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2004Publication date: October 28, 2004Inventors: George E. Sarson, Daryl J. Howes-Jones, Gregory John Kleynhans
