20100308064 | INJECTION-MOLDED COMPOSITE CONSTRUCT AND TOOL FOR FORMING CONSTRUCT - A structure is injection molded onto a group of panels to form a container. The panels extend at least partially around, and at least partially define, a cavity of the container. A tool is disclosed for forming the container. | 12-09-2010 |
20100314801 | TOOL FOR FORMING CONSTRUCT - A forming tool for forming a container from a blank is disclosed. The forming tool has a cavity and a core. The cavity has an articulating portion moveably connected to a cavity base. The core has a nose moveably connected to a nose base. When the container is formed from the blank, the nose is moved relative to the nose base prior to moving the articulating portion relative to the cavity base. | 12-16-2010 |
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 |
20110278762 | CONTAINER HAVING A RIM OR OTHER FEATURE ENCAPSULATED BY OR FORMED FROM INJECTION-MOLDED MATERIAL - A tool and method for forming a container from a construct. The tool comprising a cavity for receiving a construct, a core operatively associated with the cavity and being operable to move into the cavity, an injection cavity for receiving injection-molding material and directing injection-molding material around at least a portion of the perimeter of the construct, and a clamping feature. The clamping feature is operatively connected to at least one of the cavity and the core and is for clamping a peripheral portion of the construct as the core moves into the cavity to form the construct into the container. | 11-17-2011 |
20120118900 | INJECTION-MOLDED COMPOSITE CONSTRUCT - A frame is injection molded onto a group of panels to form a container. The panels extend at least partially around, and at least partially define, a cavity of the container. | 05-17-2012 |
20120279895 | CONTAINER HAVING A RIM OR OTHER FEATURE ENCAPSULATED BY OR FORMED FROM INJECTION-MOLDED MATERIAL - A tray having at least one sidewall having a top edge, an interior surface, an exterior surface, and a bottom surface adjacent to the sidewall. The bottom surface and the interior surface combine to form a product receiving space of the tray. The tray has an injection-molded feature having an anchor portion and a flange portion. The anchor portion is adjacent the interior surface of the at least one sidewall, and the flange portion extends from the anchor portion and is adjacent the top edge of the at least one sidewall. | 11-08-2012 |
20120292813 | METHOD OF FORMING CONTAINER WITH A TOOL HAVING AN ARTICULATED SECTION - A method of forming a container from a construct. The method includes obtaining a tool having a cavity, a core, and an articulated section for being moveable within the cavity relative to the cavity and the core. The method further includes placing a construct between the cavity and the core, moving the core relative to the cavity so that the articulated section at least partially initially grips a portion of the construct, and further moving the core into the cavity. The portion of the construct remains gripped by the articulated section in the cavity during the further moving of the core. | 11-22-2012 |
20130249142 | Injection-Molded Composite Construct And Tool For Forming Construct - A structure is injection molded onto a group of panels to form a container. The container has a tray and an injection-molded feature. The tray has a plurality of side panels that extend at least partially around, and at least partially define, a cavity of the container. The tray has a plurality of multi-part flanges with at least one of the multi-part flanges including a lower flange portion and an upper flange portion. The injection-molded feature has band that is injected molded onto the lower flange portion and the upper flange portion. An injection-molded strip extends along and at least partially defines the corner of the container. The strip extends downward from the inner portion of the band in the elongate corner of the container. A tool is also disclosed for forming the container. | 09-26-2013 |
20140015164 | Container Having A Rim Or Other Feature Encapsulated By Or Formed From Injection-Molded Material - A tool and method for forming a container from a construct. The tool comprising a cavity for receiving a construct, a core operatively associated with the cavity and being operable to move into the cavity, an injection cavity for receiving injection-molding material and directing injection-molding material around at least a portion of the perimeter of the construct, and a clamping feature. The clamping feature is operatively connected to at least one of the cavity and the core and is for clamping a peripheral portion of the construct as the core moves into the cavity to form the construct into the container. | 01-16-2014 |
20140291337 | Injection-Molded Composite Construct - A frame is injection molded onto a group of panels to form a container. The panels extend at least partially around, and at least partially define, a cavity of the container. | 10-02-2014 |
20140374953 | Container Having A Rim Or Other Feature Encapsulated By Or Formed From Injection-Molded Material - A method for forming a container having an injection-molded feature. The method includes obtaining a blank, forming the blank into a three-dimensional article having at least one sidewall, and forming the injection-molded feature extending around the perimeter of the article. The injection-molded feature comprises an anchor portion and a flange portion. The anchor portion is in contact with an interior surface of the at least one sidewall and the flange portion extends from the anchor portion outwardly from the at least one sidewall. | 12-25-2014 |
