A gravity-feed dispenser includes an internal blocker assembly to prevent folded sheet from falling away from the dispensing aperture. A preferred embodiment includes a spring biased blocker arm which cooperates with a spring biased guide plate to maintain the napkins in position throughout dispensing of the stack, especially when the stack is depleted and of insufficient weight to urge the remaining sheets into position. In a preferred embodiment, the dispenser is provided with a convertible support, suitable for mounting the dispenser on either a wall or a countertop with a quick release mounting bracket.

A system for heat-shrinking a film onto an open-topped container is provided, including at least one reflective cup having a reflective interior surface, and at least one radiant energy source. The reflective cup and the radiant energy source may be rotationally mounted. The interior surface of the reflective cup has at least an elliptical portion and a parabolic portion.

Containers and a method for forming such containers having larger brims with reduced brim curl defects is disclosed including providing a plurality of container blanks for forming containers, forming a plurality of container shells from the plurality of blanks, accumulating the plurality of container shells at an accumulation station, subjecting at least an upper periphery of the shells to a humid atmosphere to precondition the shells with the atmosphere preferably including steam, successively removing the shells from the accumulator and subsequently forming a brim curl about an upper periphery of the shell with the shells being subject to the humid atmosphere for a predetermined time period sufficient to form defect-free brim curls by extending the forming strain limits of the paperboard material. This method being carried out by using an accumulator for accumulating the container shells for further processing. Alternatively, the container blanks can be retained in a hopper leaving the portion of the container blank to be formed into the brim of the container exposed.

Preconditioned paperboard containers and method and apparatus for making

Preconditioned paperboard containers

A container formed of paper material is disclosed including a substantially cylindrical body having an upper, a lower, a bottom integrally formed with the cylindrical body and closing the lower end, and a brim integrally formed on the upper end of the cylindrical body, the paper material being oriented such that the machine direction of the paper material is aligned with the circumferential direction of the container. The container being formed by providing a paper blank having a machine direction and a cross machine direction, forming the paper blank into a substantially cylindrical body having first and second open ends with the machine direction of the paper blank being aligned substantially with the circumferential direction of the body, closing one of the open ends to form a bottom of the container and forming a brim about the other of the open ends.
