Abstract
A container for holding at least one article includes a body having a front wall, a back wall, and at least one side wall extending at least partially around an interior of the container, a lid repositionable between a closed position at least partially overlying the body and an open position at least partially raised away from the body, the lid comprising a lid panel and a lid flange extending upwardly from the lid panel to at least partially form a lid recess, a reinforcement member at least partially received in the lid recess, and a closed bottom comprising a bottom panel attached to a portion of the body.
Claims37
A container for holding at least one article, the container comprising:
- a body comprising a front wall, a back wall, and at least one side wall extending at least partially around an interior of the container;
- a lid repositionable between a closed position at least partially overlying the body and an open position at least partially raised away from the body, the lid comprising a lid panel and a lid flange extending upwardly from the lid panel to at least partially form a lid recess;
- a reinforcement member at least partially received in the lid recess;
- and
- a closed bottom comprising a bottom panel attached to a portion of the body.
A combination of blanks for forming a container for holding at least one article, the combination of blanks comprising:
- a body blank comprising a body forming portion for at least partially forming a body with a front wall, a back wall, and at least one side wall extending at least partially around an interior of the container formed from the combination of blanks;
- a lid blank for at least partially forming a lid repositionable between a closed position at least partially overlying the body formed from the combination of blanks when the container is formed from the combination of blanks and an open position at least partially raised away from the body formed from the combination of blanks when the container is formed from the combination of blanks, the lid blank comprising a central portion and a marginal portion for at least partially forming a lid panel and a lid flange extending upwardly from the lid panel to at least partially form a lid recess when the container is formed from the combination of blanks;
- a reinforcement blank for forming a reinforcement member for being at least partially received in the lid recess when the container is formed from the combination of blanks;
- and
- a bottom blank for forming a bottom panel for being attached to a portion of the body formed from the body blank when the container is formed from the combination of blanks.
A method of forming a container for holding at least one article, the method comprising:
- obtaining a body blank comprising a body forming portion;
- obtaining a lid blank comprising a central portion and a marginal portion;
- obtaining a reinforcement blank;
- obtaining a bottom blank;
- positioning the body forming portion of the body blank to form a body extending at least partially around an interior of the container;
- positioning the bottom blank to form a bottom panel and attaching the bottom panel to the body to form a closed bottom of the container;
- positioning the central portion of the lid blank to form a lid panel and positioning the marginal portion of the lid blank to form a lid flange extending upwardly form the lid panel to form a lid of the container such that a lid recess is at least partially formed between the lid panel and the lid flange, and such that the lid repositionable between a closed position at least partially overlying the body and an open position at least partially raised away from the body;
- and
- positioning the reinforcement blank in the lid recess to form a reinforcement member of the container.
