  • Patent number: 5139194
    Abstract: The present invention is addressed to an improved apparatus and method for making and using a self-locking container which may be non-destructively disengaged and thereafter re-interengaged. The invention features a polygonal container and an interlocking base and is well-suited where the container is also provided with an interlocking lid closing configuration. The base includes inwardly directed folded flanges which interengage with outwardly directed folded flanges provided on the lower edge of the container body. Therefore, when the container body section is nestingly mated with the base section, the oppositely-disposed flanges on each of the two respective container sections become lockingly engaged without the need for adhesives or other binding materials.

  • Patent number: 4632301
    Abstract: A storage container blank for articulation into a wedding gown box container for the long term storage of gowns in a manner which prevents the entry of dust and other contaminants into the container, thus preserving the gown. A series of operably joined panels form a lower storage container cavity and an additional series of integrated operably joined panels form an upper storage container cover capable of telescopically covering the cavity upon articulation. The lower storage container cavity includes integrated contaminant barrier elements to preclude the entry of dust and other contaminants therewithin. In one embodiment an inspection insert panel is preliminarily placed over the gown within the lower storage container cavity before positioning of the upper storage container cover portion over the lower storage container cavity to enclose same.
