Abstract: A closable container is formed by a bottom tray having upwardly and outwardly flaring side wall and a cooperating gable-shaped top closure having side wall with a rear side wall of the top foldably interconnected with a rear side wall of the bottom tray along the length thereof. Flaps extending from the top front and rear walls connect these walls to their respective adjacent top side walls to form the gabled shaped top closure and are provided with extensions each of which projects away from the top wall of the top closure a distance farther than the free edge of the top side wall to which it is connected. These projections extend beyond the top edge of their adjacent bottom side walls and help to ensure proper alignment of the top closure and bottom tray. The front walls of the bottom tray and of the gabled top are formed respectively with an undercut and a cooperating tongue adapted to interact to hold the gabled top in close position over the bottom tray.

The container includes a pair of hingedly interconnected tray and cover members, each having a pair of side wall panels, and a pair of closure flaps with side portions that overlap the ends of the cover side wall panels to maintain them in place against the outer surfaces of the tray side wall panels when the container is in a closed condition.

Abstract: A paperboard container which displays particular utility for the packaging of fast food products is formed from a unitary blank of paperboard. The blank, typically, employs an automatic bottom, i.e., a bottom which is automatically formed upon opening the container from a folded or flattened configuration. The container is characterized by side webs between the top edges of the end panels and the top cover panel. Upon folding the top cover panel down to close the container, after being loaded with food, each side web forms a point or apex along its edge, this apex then tucked into a complementary slit in a respective end panel. Each side web is in frictional, surface to surface engagement with a respective end panel. Further, the top closure cover is provided with a friction latch cooperating with the front wall panel to thereby yield three points of frictional engagement to maintain the container in its closed position prior to being opened by the consumer.

Abstract: A non-releasable mechanical join useful for permanent joins of plastics material cartons is formed by a row of a plurality of engagement tabs interlocked in a complementary row of slots. The engagement tabs have heads able to pass through the slots in one direction but unable to return in the other direction. The tab heads may be formed as arrowheads, the barbs of which act against edges of the slots are convexly arcuate towards the approaching arrowheads. This may help to provide secure engagement. The greater number of tabs and slots, the greater may be the permanence of the join.

Mating inner overlapped end panels (48 and 50) produce a double fiberboard thickness on each end. Each corner contains a doubled vertical reinforcement (64) at an equal bisecting angle integrally formed from each outer end panel and adjacent side panel. A diagonal corner reinforcement (68) is formed from each overlap end panel and is angularly bent to span between the end and side panels and is also contiguous with the doubled vertical reinforcement. The diagonal and doubled reinforcement combination in each corner is attached together with glue where they touch each other, creating a rigid weight bearing corner permitting other like boxes to be stacked on top. Optionally, a number of stacking tabs (52) are formed in the end panels with mating recesses (54) maintaining alignment when the completed boxes are stacked.

Abstract: The corrugated container is provided with internal reinforcing panels to form corners of increased thickness, thereby augmenting the stacking strength of the container. Locking tabs are formed in either vertical endwalls or in horizontal lid panels of the container and are interlocked with the reinforcing panels being folded between overlapping reinforcing panels. Locking slots are provided in the carton sidewalls and locking flaps have ear portions engagable with edges of the locking slots, to hold the lid panels in a closed position.
