Articles are anchored to the interior of the housing of a protective package by two pluralities of protuberances disposed on the housing shells. The two protuberances fall into meshing registry when the shells are brought together. A ramp is disposed on one of the shells to receive the article and position it over the protuberances.

A package consisting of a carrier and a plurality of containers, each container having a top closed into the form of a flat strip having one or more downwardly facing shoulders, the carrier being of resilient sheet material in which are slits or slots, each container lying in a respective slit or slot with the top of that container above the carrier and the remainder of the container below the carrier, and the proportions of the carrier and the containers being such that the entire package can b...

A match package is provided which is meant to be child-proof. It has the appearance of an ordinary package of matches, and is preferably even printed on its outer surface to simulate a striking surface. However, the actual striking surface is concealed behind the simulated striking surface, so that unless the person lighting the match is aware of its location, the match will not light.

A display package including an outer container and one or more inner containers housed in the outer container.

The opaque and translucent areas may be used to display indicia about the product whereas the transparent areas provide a view of the inner containers and/or any indicia thereon. A var...

A stacked chip assembly includes individual units having chips mounted on dielectric layers and traces on the dielectric layers interconnecting the contacts of the chips with terminals disposed in peripheral regions of the dielectric layers. At least some of the traces are multi-branched traces which connect chip select contacts to chip select terminals. The units are stacked one above the other with corresponding terminals of the different units being connected to one another by solder balls or...

Gussetted packages having openable and reclosable interlocking seals, the seals having male and female portions, snap detents, and formed transversely to the direction of film flow. The packaging film is provided at package length intervals with thermoformable strips secured thereto transversely to the running length of the film, and is fed to a modified standard vertical form, fill and seal packaging machine with gussets forming tooling where the film is formed into a bag with the thermoformabl...

A package for at least one bottle comprises a carton, a honeycomb core within the carton for surrounding the bottle, as well as bottom and top honeycomb pads abutting the honeycomb core. The honeycomb core is severed from its outer skin through the honeycomb material to its inner skin so that it may be folded to form an enclosure about the bottle. The bottle has the same height as the honeycomb core and when covered at its ends by the honeycomb pads positioned beneath and on top of the honeycomb...

The specification describes a method for the production of cigarette packages in which a first foil web of thermoplastic material, supplied from the supply roll, and having a width exceeding the length of the cigarettes to be packed, is pressed into troughs corresponding to the size of the cigarettes to be packed, cigarettes are placed in the troughs, a second flat web of foil supplied from a second supply roll is placed over the cigarettes to cover them and the webs are connected together. Foll...
