Patent number: 6949274Abstract: Sealant is statically applied to the edges of panels by placing a sealant on the inner surfaces of the walls of a container holding the panels. A shrink wrap sleeve is preferably applied to the panel filled containers, causing contact between the inner surface of the container and panel edges, such that the sealant is transferred to the edges of the panels. Further transfer occurs during handling of the container, due to movement of the panels in the container and contact between the sealant and panel edges.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2002Date of Patent: September 27, 2005Assignee: Premark RWP Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Thomas J. Nelson, Victoria L. Stolarski

Patent number: 6926197Abstract: A drinking cup has sandwiched between an inner paper liner and an outer paper shell a ridge structure which has its ridges running peripherally, i.e. perpendicular to the axis, e.g. in the form of corrugations, a mesh or a cell network and can be partially filled with a phase-transition material to maintain a maximum temperature at the exterior of the shell for a given hot temperature of the liquid within the cup.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2002Date of Patent: August 9, 2005Inventors: Aharon Zeev Hed, Richard Pavelle

Patent number: 6919111Abstract: An improved paperboard has been bulk enhanced by retaining a substantial portion of bulk-enhanced additives including expandable microspheres in a suitable distribution within the paperboard. The cellulosic paperboard web has an overall fiber weight (w) of at least 40 lbs. per 3000 square feet and, at a fiber density of 3, 4.5, 6.5, 7, 8.3, and 9 pounds per 3000 square foot ream at a fiberboard thickness of 0.001 inches, has a GM Taber stiffness of at least about 0.00246 w2.63 grams-centimeter/fiber mat density1.63, and a GM tensile stiffness of at least about 615+13.18 w pounds per inch. The high retention of the bulk enhancing additives is believed to result from the incorporation of suitable retention aids. The resulting paperboard has better GM Taber stiffness values and GM tensile stiffness than prior art paperboards. The paperboard also has increased strain to failure and is able to be formed into suitable paperboard containers without loss of integrity.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2002Date of Patent: July 19, 2005Assignee: Fort James CorporationInventors: Dean P. Swoboda, Anthony J. Swiontek, Timothy P. Hartjes, Kenneth J. Shanton, Erland R. Sandstrom

Patent number: 6854639Abstract: A carton blank may be formed from a first sheet of relatively rigid material and a second sheet of relatively flexible fluid impervious material. The second sheet of relatively flexible fluid impervious material may cover some but not other portions of the first sheet of relatively rigid material in order to facilitate gluing of the other portions of the first sheet of relatively rigid material when the carton blank is assembled into a carton.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2001Date of Patent: February 15, 2005Assignee: Graphic Packaging International, Inc.Inventor: Joseph C. Walsh

Patent number: 6740373Abstract: A method of making a texture-coated and/or insulation coated container from a flat paperboard blank in which a heat-hardenable liquid polymeric binder texturizing and or insulating agent coating mixture is applied to one surface of the blank in a pattern of covered and open areas. This coating mixture is subjected to heat to cure the polymeric binder and expand the texturizing and/or insulating agent, optionally treated with moisture, and optionally heated to form the blank into the shape of a container, and the container produced by this method. The containers such as cups, plates, etc., are useful in food service. These containers have a coefficient of static friction which is about 0.2 to 2.0 and over and a kinetic coefficient of friction which is about 0.22 to 1.5.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 1998Date of Patent: May 25, 2004Assignee: Fort James CorporationInventors: Dean P.
