METHOD OF MAKING BLANK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18520867 titled 'METHOD OF MAKING BLANK

Simplified Explanation

The method described in the patent application involves folding various panels of a blank to create a specific configuration. Here are the key points of the innovation:

  • The blank includes a bottom wall, first sidewall, second sidewall, lid panel, and top panel.
  • The first and second sidewalls are folded perpendicular to the bottom wall, with a ramp connected to the first sidewall.
  • The top panel is folded to cover the ramp partially, with its top wall parallel to the bottom wall.
  • The lid panel is folded to cover the top panel, completing the closed position.

Original Abstract Submitted

The method includes establishing a blank with a bottom wall, the blank including a first sidewall and a second sidewall on opposing ends of the bottom wall and a lid panel and a top panel on opposing sides of the bottom wall, first folding the first sidewall and the second sidewall to be perpendicular to the bottom wall such that an end panel of a ramp contacts the bottom wall, the ramp being directly connected to a first edge of the first sidewall, second folding the top panel into a first closed position such that a first top wall of the top panel is parallel to the bottom wall as the first top wall at least partially covers the ramp, and third folding the lid panel into a second closed position such that a second top wall of the lid panel covers the first top wall.
