| 20090250372 | Container With Injection-Molded Feature And Tool For Forming Container - A container has a base panel, at least one side panel extending upwardly from the base panel, and at least one end panel extending upwardly from the base panel. At least one corner is formed at a junction between the side panel and end panel. A flange extends laterally outward from the upper edges of at least one of the side panel, end panel, and corner. An injection-molded structure extends along at least a portion of the flange, the injection-molded structure includes a base portion adjacent the upper edges of the side wall and the end wall, a distal portion extending laterally outward from the base portion, and an indentation in the distal portion extending along at least a portion of the flange of the container. An apparatus for forming the container and a method of manufacturing are also disclosed. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20100278990 | CONSTRUCT WITH LOCATING FEATURE - A construct for heating a food product. The construct comprises a first centerline extending in a first direction and a second centerline extending in a second direction, wherein the first centerline is substantially perpendicular to the second centerline, a base, a pair of opposed platforms extending upwardly from the base. The pair of opposed platforms are separated by a recess extending in the second direction. The construct comprises at least one locating feature foldably connected to the construct and being located between the opposed platforms for locating a food product on one of the opposed platforms | 11-04-2010 |
| 20100323864 | TOOL FOR FORMING A THREE DIMENSIONAL CONTAINER OR CONSTRUCT - A tool having a blank positioning system and method for forming a container. The tool has a first tool assembly and a second tool assembly that cooperate to shape the container from a blank. The blank positioning system positions the blank between the first tool assembly and the second tool assembly prior to forming the blank into the container. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20110048999 | CONTAINER BLANK AND CONTAINER WITH DENESTING FEATURE - A blank for being formed into a container. The blank has a marginal area that includes a plurality of score lines for facilitating forming of the blank into the container. The score lines are positioned to facilitate formation of denesting features of the container. A container formed from the blank has denesting features. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110062050 | BLANK AND FORMING TOOL FOR FORMING A CONTAINER - A blank for being formed into a container. The blank has a marginal area that includes a plurality of score lines for facilitating forming of the blank into the container. The score lines are positioned to facilitate formation of the container. A forming tool has features to facilitate forming the blank into the container. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110065556 | Container Having A Rim Or Other Feature Encapsulated By Or Formed From Injection-Molded Material - A tray or container which may be hermetically sealed having a flange, rim, handle, rib, bottom surface, sidewall, or other portion that is encapsulated by or formed from injection molded material | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110147377 | Insulating Microwave Interactive Packaging - The combination of insulating material with microwave interactive food packaging for enhanced cooking properties is disclosed. An insulating microwave packaging material ( | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110160028 | Apparatus and Method for Positioning and Operating Upon a Construct - An apparatus for operating upon a construct. In one example, the apparatus comprises a tool, a feed path for a feed path for feeding the construct to and withdrawing the construct from the tool, and a positioning mechanism. The positioning mechanism comprises an arm positioned proximate to the tool and a guide for directing the construct toward the tool. The arm is movable between a guiding position and a withdrawn position, and the guide is mounted to the arm for moving with the arm so that the guide is at least partially disposed in the feed path when the arm is in the guiding position. A recess is defined in the tool for at least partially accommodating the guide. | 06-30-2011 |
