| 20130299567 | Vessel and Method for Making the Same - A vessel composed of a sheet of flexible material, cut, rolled, and affixed to form a frusto-conically shaped base region. The sheet when rolled including an upper region having two opposing flaps, each flap delineated from a remaining portion of the sheet by a path along which the sheet is scored, so that the flaps, when folded along their respective paths, define a single elevated drinking portion having a spout formed between an extension of the base region and at least one of the two flaps. | 11-14-2013 |
| 20130320077 | RECLOSABLE CONTAINER AND PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING SAID CONTAINER STARTING FROM A SHEET MATERIAL - The invention relates to a process for realising a re-closable container made of extensible paper, which comprises at least partly inserting a closing element ( | 12-05-2013 |
| 20130334297 | Single Piece Tubular Container - A can-shaped package is constructed from a single fibrous material, such as cardboard or paper, that is rolled into a cylinder or tube and is sealed at its end by cutting an open end of the tube into flaps and folding the flaps over one another to form an air tight bottom. By utilizing such a configuration, the can-shaped package can be constructed completely from biodegradable materials in a simple and efficient manner. | 12-19-2013 |
| 20140042217 | Drink Cup for Road Running Races - A water-station drink cup for running races has a square cutout at a front or proximal side, and arcuate upper edges along a radius on each side from the top of the verticals of the cutout to a common point on the opposite side. Radiused perforations create fold lines that extend from the bottom of each side of the vertical to meet at that common point. This creates two flaps of a double-radiused ogive shape. The flaps are pushed down one onto the other to close the top, leaving a drink opening at the distal side, corresponding to the square cutout. | 02-13-2014 |
| 20140110466 | CONTAINER WITH INTEGRATED LID - Aspects of the invention are directed to a container comprising a bottom and a sidewall. The sidewall is coupled to the bottom so as to form a watertight seal therewith. In addition, the sidewall defines a lower sidewall portion and an upper sidewall portion. The upper sidewall portion is scored with a plurality of lines. These lines are arranged such that folding the upper sidewall portion along at least a portion of the plurality of lines converts the upper sidewall portion into a lid for the container. | 04-24-2014 |
| 20150090776 | CUP LID MANUFACTURING PROCESS - A substantially crimpless and monolithic paperboard container lid and method of making same is provided. The lid comprises a single contiguous molded paperboard body configured to conformingly couple to a top periphery of a container for covering the container's opening. The body includes a sealing ring located adjacent the body's periphery. The sealing ring includes a sealing channel composed of a radiused cross-section that extends to a tangent ring terminating with a tab ring. The radiused cross-section and tangent ring assist providing a snug fit between the lid and the container. Despite being made from paperboard, the lid does not include one or more substantial crimps in the sealing ring. Having no substantial crimps, the lid fits onto the container and prevents fluid from leaking between the container's periphery and the lid. | 04-02-2015 |
