A reclosable package for an article may include a base with a planar floor defining an article-retaining cavity and raised sidewalls extending about the perimeter forming part of the article-retaining cavity with a cover with raised sidewalls coupled to the base configured to move between an open position and a closed position. The sidewalls may form a double wall about the perimeter of the base with a channel that remains open when the cover is disposed in the closed position. A plurality of projections extending from at least one sidewall of at least one of the cover and base and a plurality of notches in at least one sidewall of at least one of the cover and base keep the cover closed as the projections insert into the notches with a snap fit engagement.

A reclosable wiper blade package for holding a beam-type wiper blade having a wiper blade adapter-receiving cradle of a blade receiving cavity formed in one of a pair of package halves that is configured for snap fit engagement with an adapter of the wiper blade releasably retained in the blade receiving cavity. The cradle can also be configured to locate and orient arms of the wiper blade so they engage a corresponding blade arm seat in a substantially straightened condition orienting the blade on its side. One or both package halves are formed with elongate ribs that can define package sidewalls that can even form at least part of the blade receiving cavity that can have spaced apart rib-strengthening gussets where rib width is narrowed or constricted.

An elongate article holding package for a pre-curved beam blade wiper blade includes a pair of packaging panels joined by a living hinge. In a currently preferred embodiment, the package has two panels joined by a living hinge. A first panel is configured to retain the wiper blade in a substantially straight configuration within a cavity formed in the panel, and the second panel is pivotally connected by the living hinge to be disposed in either a closed or an open position with the first panel. The first panel preferably includes a first channel having a first bottom wall and a second channel disposed in the first bottom wall and in communication with the first channel. The first panel preferably also includes retention fingers to positively retain the wiper blade and recessed sidewall portions to facilitate insertion and extraction of the wiper blade into the first panel.

An elongate article holding package for a wiper blade having a pair of package panels with at least one of the panels including a blade beam receiving seat and a support flat upon which part of the blade rests during packaging. When closed, the flats position and can clamp the blade therebetween. In a preferred embodiment, both panels are so configured and preferably include one or more longitudinal stiffeners that oppose bending moments created by force transmitted to the package by the blade beam. The package preferably is of tri-fold construction having a spine that is spaced from and protects the wiper element. The spine preferably includes at least a plurality of spaced apart longitudinally extending stiffeners. One or more stiffening flanges preferably are also provided. When closed, the panels and spine advantageously cooperate with each other to increase package crush and bending resistance.

A reclosable package well suited for holding pre-curved beam-type wiper blades in a package cavity formed in a base that releasably engages with a cover via a reclosable closure arrangement that includes an arrangement of bar snaps each formed of a bar with an elongated bulbous head received in a complementarily configured bar snap pocket during package closure. Each bar includes inclined endwalls that facilitate location and entry of the head into a narrower mouth of the pocket until the head is received in a head-anchoring chamber releasably clamping the bar head in place. The closure arrangement can include an interlocking rib-and-channel arrangement having a rib segment extending along a hinge joining the cover to the base and rib sections extending along end flanges and part of an outer flange that stiffen and strengthen the package while guiding bar snaps into snap-fit engagement during package closure.

摘要:
A method and container capable of withstanding ultra-high pressure sterilization or pasteurization and being used as a retail package. The container includes at least one deformable pressure absorbing fold channel integrally formed therein enabling the container to undergo UHP processing and return substantially to its prior shape. In one embodiment, the container has at least one sidewall with such a fold channel. In a preferred embodiment, the package also has a bottom wall with a fold channel. The container is thermoformed of a sheet that includes at least one oxygen barrier layer and includes a peelable oxygen barrier film covering a container opening. In a preferred method, the container has a plurality of sidewalls with a fold channel therebetween and a bottom with a fold channel thereabout that accommodates compression between 5% and 25% without showing visible damage when subjected to pressures of between 70 ksi and 120 ksi.
