Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A traylike container of plastic coated carton material comprising a bottom panel and at least three peripheral sidewalls contiguous with said bottom panel and corner panels connecting each sidewall with the adjacent sidewall, each corner panel comprising at least two contiguous triangular portions folded upon themselves and at least one triangular support panel contiguous with at least one of said triangular portions and the adjacent sidewall, a liplike flange portion extending outwardly from and continuously about the upper edge of said traylike container and being contiguous with said sidewalls, said at least two triangular portions and said at least one triangular support panel, said at least one triangular support panel being folded along the contiguous edge of the folded triangular portion so as to project outwardly from the plane of the sidewall contiguous with said at least one triangular support panel to form a support for the corner of the traylike container.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
A traylike container of plastic coated carton material comprising a bottom panel and at least three peripheral sidewalls contiguous with said bottom panel and corner panels connecting each sidewall with the adjacent sidewall, each corner panel comprising at least two contiguous triangular portions folded upon themselves and at least one triangular support panel contiguous with at least one of said triangular portions and the adjacent sidewall, a liplike flange portion extending outwardly from and continuously about the upper edge of said traylike container and being contiguous with said sidewalls, said at least two triangular portions and said at least one triangular support panel, said at least one triangular support panel being folded along the contiguous edge of the folded triangular portion so as to project outwardly from the plane of the sidewall contiguous with said at least one triangular support panel to form a support for the corner of the traylike container.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
A traylike container as claimed in claim 1 wherein the at least one triangular support panel is smaller than the at least two contiguous triangular portions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
A traylike container as claimed in claim 1 wherein the area where the at least one triangular support panel is folded along the contiguous edge of the folded triangular portions comprises four layers of carton material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
82 words
A traylike container as claimed in claim 1 wherein each corner panel comprises two contiguous triangular portions folded upon themselves to form a double-folded fin and one triangular support panel, said double-folded fin being folded against the contiguous sidewall and said triangular Support panel being folded along the contiguous edge of said double-folded fin so as to project outwardly from the plane of the sidewall contiguous with said triangular support panel to form a support for the corner of the traylike container.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
A traylike container as claimed in claim 4 wherein said double-folded fin is folded against the inside of the contiguous sidewall.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
21 words
A traylike container as claimed in claim 4 wherein said double-folded fin is folded against the outside of the contiguous sidewall.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
50 words
A traylike container as claimed in claim 1 wherein the liplike flange portion extending outwardly from and continuously about the top edge of said traylike container comprises three layers at the corners formed by said folded at least two triangular portions and said folded at least one triangular support panel.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
93 words
A traylike container as claimed in claim 1 wherein each corner panel comprises three contiguous triangular portions folded upon themselves to form a separate triangular corner panel and two triangular support panels, each being contiguous with the adjacent contiguous triangular portion and contiguous with the adjacent sidewall, each triangular support panel being folded along the edge of the contiguous folded triangular portions to form a coplanar extension of said folded triangular portions and projecting outwardly from the plane of each adjacent sidewall to form a support for the corner of the traylike container.
