Definitions
- Embodiments hereof relate to a package for a medical device, and in particular, to a package including a corner pocket for ease of removal of the package from a shelf.
- Packages such as packages for medicals devices, are often stacked side-by-side or on top of each other on shelving units or other storage units. In order to maximize space, the height between shelves is often approximately the same size as the height of the packages. Further, packages are often tightly packed or bunched next to each other to maximize the number of packages that can be stored per unit length of the shelving unit. With packages tightly packed on shelving units, it can be difficult to remove a particular package from the group.
- a package it would be desirable for a package to include a feature which allows a selected package to be easily removed from among packages crowded onto a shelving unit.
- US Patent US 5000374 A describes several versions of a container incorporating a corner structure including at least one locking tab.
- the corner structure comprises a top or bottom panel, a front wall connected to the top or bottom panel, a side wall connected to the top or bottom panel, a diagonal side wall panel connected to the side wall, a coupling panel connecting the diagonal side wall panel to the top or bottom panel and a reverse diagonal side wall panel connected to the front wall and the coupling panel.
- a first locking tab may be connected to the diagonal side wall panel opposite the side wall. The first locking tab is received between the front wall and the reverse diagonal side wall panel.
- a second locking tab may be connected to the first locking tab, opposite the diagonal side wall panel. The second locking tab is positionable in face-to-face relationship with the front wall.
- a tray embodiment includes four corner structures with locking tabs.
- a double side wall container embodiment is disclosed with outer corner structures including an outer coupling panel provided with a tab which can be held captive between opposed portions of the container to provide additional structural integrity.
- a closure flap can be provided on the top panel. The closure flap is frictionally held between first locking tabs and the front wall or between first and second locking tabs.
- EP 1 331 170 A1 discloses a container for take-away pizza of the type erected from a diecut blank of food-packaging cardboard, which diecut blank comprises a plurality of foldlines defining a polygonal bottom panel with a respective flap associated with each side of the polygonal bottom panel and adapted to form a side wall of the container, a lid panel associated with one of said side flaps or walls along a respective foldline; respective triangular corner portions are defined between the bottom panel and the adjacent side flaps such that the base sides of said corner portions lie each next to a respective one of said adjacent flaps, and at least one of said triangular corner portions is joined to the side wall or flap associated with the lid through a connecting portion.
