20080210588 | Packaging Material, and Packaging for Protecting Products Against Damage - A packaging material which impart fragility capability and is easily manufactured and handled in preparing a product for shipment. The material is fabricated as a planar body having fold lines on which the body may be folded to encircle a product being packaged. The planar body is formed with locking features which enable a handler to easily secure the material about the packaged product and with defined openings facilitating handling. | 09-04-2008 |
20080265115 | Tamper Evident Feature for Package Fastening Clips - A product package clip has tamper evident protection which is formed integrally with the clip. Breakage of frangible connectors indicates that the clip, and thus the package, has been the target of tampering. | 10-30-2008 |
20090026211 | Rotatable Partition System for a Freight Carrying Enclosure - A flexible system is provided for preventing freight damage during shipment. The system has adjustable and interlocking hinged panels that are attached to the side walls of a shipping enclosure, so that the system can be readily adapted to secure different types and sizes of loads. One embodiment of the invention, provided for use with a freight carrying enclosure that has an internal wall, includes first and second panel segments that each have an edge. A first mounting structure supports the first panel segment for rotation about a vertical axis, between a first position wherein the first panel segment is in perpendicular relationship with the wall, and a second position wherein the first panel segment is in abutting relationship with the wall. A second mounting structure joins the first and second panel segments together along their respective edges, and enables rotation of the second panel between vertical and horizontal orientations. A support structure selectively maintains the second panel segment in its horizontal orientation. | 01-29-2009 |
20090064831 | Precision Corner Post Cutter - An apparatus and method are disclosed for cutting a corner post. The apparatus includes a blade disposed within the apparatus. A piston is coupled to the blade for actuating the blade. A trigger switch is coupled to the piston. The piston causes the blade to actuate when the trigger is depressed. The apparatus includes an opening through the apparatus for receiving the corner post through the opening. The blade is actuated to move through the opening and cut through the corner post. | 03-12-2009 |
20090144951 | Package Fastening Clip with Tamper Evident Feature - A product package clip has tamper evident protection which is formed integrally with the clip. Breakage of a frangible occluding portion indicates that the integrity of the package has been jeopardized. | 06-11-2009 |
20090218248 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR PROTECTING A PRODUCT - An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for protecting a product. A center member is in physical communication with a bottom of the product. North, south, east, and west members are in communication with the center member and each comprise an orifice. In addition, the north, south, east, and west members are partially separated from the center member by proximal cuts along a lower side of the sheet. The north, south, east, and west members are configured to pivot upward to form at least a ninety degree angle to the center member and physically communicate with sides of the product. The east and west members further comprise distal cuts about which east and west distal edges pivot toward the center member such that the east and west distal edges are in physical communication with a top of the product when folded. | 09-03-2009 |
20100005635 | Package Fastening Clip with Secure Latching - A product package clip has cooperating locking tabs and openings which facilitate secure assembly of the clip and resistance to forces imposed by mishandling during shipment. | 01-14-2010 |
