Appl. No.:

10/177702

Inventors:

Daniel J. Boyle - Hartland WI, US
David L. Stuhr - Libertyville IL, US

Assignee:

Rock-Tenn Company - Norcross GA

International Classification:

B65D069/00

US Classification:

206578, 206225, 206455

Abstract:

The invention relates to a photograph holder formed from a single blank and used to contain multiple photographs and a generally cylindrical film cartridge, such as an APS film cartridge. The photograph holder includes a photograph compartment for containing a plurality of photographs and film cartridge compartment formed from a panel created by cutting portions of the blank on at least one side edge of the holder and pushing the cut portions inward toward the interior of the holder. Unlike other photograph holders, the film cartridge is visible from the exterior of the photo holder so that consumers can view the unique APS identification number when the photo holder is closed. The photo holder is particularly useful in ensuring that the film cartridge is not separated from the corresponding photographs.

Abstract:

An easy opening recloseable blister card container includes a thermoformed blister receptacle bonded to the face of a card which includes a hingedly attached closure flap defined by perforated score lines in the card. The closure flap includes a locking tab integral therewith defined by an arcuate cut line which is hinged along a crease line in the flap and may be pivoted into overlapping relationship with a flange edge of the blister receptacle on the opposite side of the card to lock the closure flap in a closed position covering an opening in the card through which access to the blister receptacle is provided. A grip tab formed integral with the locking tab enables a user to initially tear the closure flap away from the card along the score lines and also provides a means of manipulating the locking tab to lock the closure flap in its closed position.

Abstract:

An insect capturing device is substantially a hollow pyramid in configuration and includes a closed base portion, opposed front and back walls, opposed side walls, and a cover member. Each of the front and back walls extends upwardly from the base at substantially an acute angle, and includes a central aperture which extends from the top portion of each wall to an intermediate portion thereof. The side walls each extend upwardly from the base at substantially an acute angle, the top edge of each side wall being free and spaced from the cover portion. The cover member is substantially parallel to the base and connects the front and back walls. The cover portion has a width less than that of the base and includes a pair of roof members each of which extends from the top portion of the front and back walls such that it extends over the aperture of its respective wall member. Each lateral end of the cover member extends over a portion of one of the inclined side walls such that the device includes four shaded ramp areas, each having an access opening to the interior of the device.

International Classification:

B65D 518

US Classification:

229 72

Abstract:

A folder for holding objects therein having two independently expandable pockets. A bottom end adjoins front and back panels along their respective bottom edges. A divider panel is disposed within the folder between the front and back panels separating the folder into two pockets. Each pocket includes a pair of expandable side panels permitting expansion of each pocket independent of the other. The bottom end is expandable between the front and back panels equal to the total combined expansion of the expandable sides of the two pockets. An open bottom corner is disposed between the bottom end and the expandable sides on each edge of the folder. The open comers permit free expansion of the expandable sides without interference from the bottom end. The bottom edge of the divider panel extends downward less than the front and back panels so that it does not interfere with full expansion of the bottom end.

Abstract:

A folder for holding objects therein having two pockets. An expandable bottom bellows adjoins front and back panels along their respective bottom edges. A divider panel is disposed within the folder between the front and back panels separating the folder into two pockets. A pair of expandable side bellows permitting along with the bottom bellows expansion of the folder to accept objects within the pockets. The divider panel is initially attached to the front panel along their respective top edges. The divider is folded within the folder and adhered to the bottom bellows along its bottom edge. The joint between the front panel and divider panel is then broken along their top edges allowing the divider panel to float freely between the front and back panels.
