The invention comprises cutting blades useful for cutting tape in packaging processes and cutting assemblies or bag sealing assemblies using the blades. Generally, the blades comprise a support and a plurality of teeth attached to the support wherein a first set of a plurality of the teeth defining a flat tip are positioned on the support between a second set of a plurality of the teeth defining a sharp tip and a third set of a plurality of the teeth defining a sharp tip.

Cutting blades and assemblies

A pet or animal food dispenser and dispenser adapter for securing pet food containers having a circular discharge openings to pet food dispsenser trays having rectangular food container mounting portions.

Pet food dispenser adapter

A pet or animal food package and dispenser includes a food container having a bottom portion which defines a discharge opening. A removable closure or seal is secured to the container for retaining a pet food product therein. A dispensing tray includes a forward portion defining a feeding area and a rear portion defining a container mounting area. The portions are joined by a sloping ramp. A cooperating track and groove arrangement on the container and tray removably mount the container to the dispensing tray.

Pet food package and dispenser

A carton for packaging a wide variety of dry frangible materials preferably formed from a unitary blank of foldable sheet material comprising respective pairs of opposed major and minor sidewall panels, a glue panel foldably joined to one of the major sidewall panels having a pouring opening formed therein, a plurality of closure flaps foldably joined to the upper and lower end portions of each of the respective sidewall panels, all of the respective panels and closure flaps being foldably joined to each other to form a carton assembly, a movable closure member attached to one of the minor sidewall panels adjacent the top end portion thereof and adaptable to overlap the pouring opening when the respective panels are foldably joined together, the closure member being initially secured to the glue panel adjacent the pouring member, a tab member mounted for rotational movement adjacent the lower end portion of the closure member, a plurality of partial die cuts associated with the rear surfaces of the closure member for initially separating the closure member from adjacent the pouring opening when a pulling force is exerted on the tab member, the closure member being thereafter movable between a closed position covering the pouring opening and an open position angularly related thereto allowing access to such opening for product removal, the tab member being frictionally engageable with the pouring opening when the closure member is reposition to its closed position.

Carton with improved closure means

A carton formed from a unitary blank of paperboard includes a front panel, a rear panel and side panels joined to the front and rear panels along fold lines. Top and bottom closure flaps are joined to the front and rear panels. A pour spout is defined by one of the panels. The pour spout includes a generally triangular flap joined to the panel along an angled fold line. The triangular flap or area includes a lateral edge to which a closure tab or glue flap is joined. A dust flap is joined to a top edge of the triangular flap along a fold line. The dust flap defines a curved edge and a notch. The notch is positioned to engage a top edge of one of the panels to hold the spout in an open position. Glue is applied to one of the panels to engage the closure tab or glue flap to initially hold the spout in a closed position.
