US Classification:

229132

Abstract:

This relates to tamper resistant cartons wherein the outermost closure flap is provided with a sealing flap of which at least a portion functions as a tuck flap and which tuck flap passes between a front panel and a terminal inner panel with a tuck flap portion being bonded on its inner surface to the outer surface of the inner terminal panel in an inaccessible position whereby the carton cannot be opened without rupturing the same to the extent that tampering would be apparent.

International Classification:

B65D 502

US Classification:

220416

Abstract:

This relates to cartons or packages which are sealed in a manner wherein they cannot be opened no matter how careful one is without giving an indication of tampering. In one form of the invention, an outermost closure panel is provided with a tuck flap which extends down between inner and outer panels of a double wall carton body wall and the inner surface of the tuck flap is bonded to the exterior surface of an inner panel to provide an inaccessible bond. Panels of cartons which are bonded together and have an accessible seam may be provided with an arrangement of weakening lines so that if one attempts to destroy the bond using a knife or razor blade, the exposed outer panel will give evidence of rupturing and thus indicate tampering even though the two panels are later resealed. If desired, the inner of the two panels may also have an arrangement of weakening lines which match that of the exterior panel and the weakening lines may be arranged in rows extending transversely of the panels so that the bonded together panels may be readily torn to effect an opening of the package.

International Classification:

B65D 520

US Classification:

206 4525

Abstract:

This relates to a display carton which is provided with an automatic tilt feature. An end wall of the carton extends down below the bottom wall so that when the carton is seated on a suitable support, the bottom wall slopes downwardly. There is provided a foldable interlock between the end wall and side walls and bottom wall of the carton whereby when the carton is erected, it will be locked in its erected open state with the end wall automatically positioned relative to the bottom wall to effect the tilting of the carton. The tilted carton permits the dispensing of a plurality of upstanding small articles from the carton with the articles leaning against the other end wall of the carton so as to maintain their upright positions when they are no longer supported by the large quantity of articles within the carton.

International Classification:

B65D 554

US Classification:

206620

Abstract:

This relates to a sealed carton formed of paperboard which is provided with tamper indicating features. First of all, the ends of the carton are formed of a combination of partial and full closure flaps and the full closure flaps are provided with weakened areas so that if the closure flaps are attempted to be separated, there will be a rupture of either one or both of the full closure flaps so as to indicate attempted tampering. On the other hand, if an attempt is made to open the carton along the joint between the body panel and the connecting panel, the connecting panel carries at opposite ends thereof closure flaps which are incorporated in the ends of the carton and there is a weakening line arrangement such that rupture of the closure flaps carried by the connecting panel from the connecting panel will occur to indicate an attempt to tamper.

Abstract:

An easy set-up tray wherein in addition to the usual well defined by a tray for receiving food products, there is a top panel for receiving other products, including containers for drinks and the like. Each tray is of a one-piece construction and is provided in a substantially flat knocked-down state. When it is desired to erect or set-up the tray, side panels thereof are grasped and pulled apart with the result that the tray automatically erects and is locked in its erected or set-up position. The top panel is connected to the side panels by reversely foldable connecting panels so as to provide for a rigid structure.
