Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
61 words
In a semirigid plastic container comprising a body having an integral base, the improvement which comprises the combination of: an elongated, inverted, substantially T-shaped rib integral with and depending from said base; and a loop integrally joined to an elongated, substantially C-shaped bar complementary to and removably slid onto said T-shaped rib, whereby said loop provides a hanger for said container.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
61 words
In a semirigid plastic container comprising a body having an integral base, the improvement which comprises the combination of: an elongated, inverted, substantially T-shaped rib integral with and depending from said base; and a loop integrally joined to an elongated, substantially C-shaped bar complementary to and removably slid onto said T-shaped rib, whereby said loop provides a hanger for said container.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The container defined in claim 1 wherein said loop is flexibly joined to said C-shaped bar.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
58 words
The container defined in claim 2 wherein said integral base includes protuberant base sections adapted to rest on a flat surface and an indented base wall spaced from said base sections to form a recess, at least one of said protuberant base sections having an undercut wall section forming a groove wherein said loop can be removably retained.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The container defined in claim 1 wherein said loop and C-shaped bar are made of plastic.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
The container defined in claim 1 wherein said body and integral are formed of a molecularly oriented plastic.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
40 words
A plastic container having an integral base, an elongated, inverted, substantially T-shaped rib integral with and depending from said base, and a loop integrally joined to an elongated, substantially C-shaped bar complementary to and slidably affixed onto said T-shaped rib.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
A plastic container having an integral base, an elongated, inverted, substantially T-shaped rib integral with and depending from said base, and a loop integrally joined to an elongated, substantially C-shaped bar complementary to and slidably affixed onto said T-shaped rib.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
78 words
A plastic container having an integral base, an elongated, inverted, substantially T-shaped rib integral with and depending from said base, and a loop integrally joined to an elongated, substantially C-shaped bar complementary to and slidably affixed onto said T-shaped rib, said integral base including protuberant base sections adapted to rest on a flat surface and a recess between said sections, at least one of said sections having an undercut wallsection forming a groove for removably retaining said loop.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
78 words
A plastic container having an integral base, an elongated, inverted, substantially T-shaped rib integral with and depending from said base, and a loop integrally joined to an elongated, substantially C-shaped bar complementary to and slidably affixed onto said T-shaped rib, said integral base including protuberant base sections adapted to rest on a flat surface and a recess between said sections, at least one of said sections having an undercut wallsection forming a groove for removably retaining said loop.
