A plastic molding apparatus for forming three-dimensional containers from a single sheet of plastic material and each comprising side-by-side generally dish-shaped members which are hinged together which dish-shaped members have different interior configurations with respect to one another. The apparatus comprises a pair of superimposed relatively movable male and female mold members. A pair of differently configurated side-by-side mold sets are carried by the mold members. A first plurality of different inserts having different projecting configurations are provided for said first mold set. A second plurality of different inserts are provided for the second set which have surface complementary to the first projecting inserts to establish a male-female mold relationship between the first and second plurality of inserts. Quick change means are provided for individually detachably securing the first and second inserts to the associated male and female mold members and thus enabling the molds to produce containers having variable predetermined physical characteristics. Means is provided on the mold members between the pairs of mold sets for producing a hinge between the dish-shaped members.

A golf club includes an elongated shaft and a head and coupling structure at an end of the shaft for joining it to the head. The coupling structure can include a flexing portion of reduced cross-sectional area for improved flexure or a thin strip member defining a unidirectional flexing portion which is resiliently flexible substantially only in a single plane. A shroud may surround the flexing portion to limit flexing thereof. The coupling structure may also include a pivot coupling for pivoting the head about the axis of the shaft or an axis parallel thereto. In another embodiment of the invention the coupling structure is connected to the head only at the rear thereof at the bottom and/or upper edge thereof intermediate the toe and heel and, in the case of a wood-type head, such coupling structure is disposed in a socket in the top of the head. The coupling structure may include any one or more of the flexing, pivoting and medial rear edge attachment features.

A web of thermoplastic foam material is carried through an oven by an intermittently traveling conveyor engaging or gripping opposite sides of the web. The heated web is successively advanced by the conveyor between cooled heat-absorbing forming molds, which are moved toward each other to form the foam article and away from each other to release the article. A heat trimmer melts or vaporizes the leading and trailing ends of the foam material as compressed and formed by the molds, to form the marginal leading and trailing ends of the articles to the required peripheral form determined by the leading and trailing ends or edges of the molds and to separate the leading and trailing ends of the article from the web. The cooled molds, which may be made of a heat-conducting metal, such as aluminum, absorb the heat of melting as they pressurize the material along its edges and thereby determine the leading and trailing margins of the article. The web, as advanced from the molds, is then trimmed along the side margins of the article which are preferably straight, by straight dies which sever the article from the web.

A thermoplastic material, such as a sheet of polystyrene or polyethylene foam, is placed between a trim guide, which may be a die mold or press, and is in the form of at least two heat-conducting metal pieces, one of which is movable towards the other. The trim guide is pressure-operated to pressurize the material along the area to be trimmed. This may be an edge of a plastic sheet, the perimeter of an article produced from the material, or may be holes or slots to be cut in the material. A knife or other tool, heated to a temperature high enough to melt the material, is then moved along the trim guide. The knife vaporizes the pressurized material along the trim guide, which creates a definitive point at which melting or vaporization of the material stops. The trim guide is made from metal having high heat-conductivity, such as aluminum which has sufficient heat-conductivity to create a point at which melting, caused by the knife vaporizing the material, stops.

Carton for eggs and the like including a tray section having rows of generally conical cavities with ovate sidewalls and corner bolsters hinged to opposite sides of the carton and connected together by side panels hinged along the same side lines as the bolsters and extending partially upwardly of the articles in the cavities when the bolsters are hinged upwardly to cover the corner articles in the carton. Stops spaced inwardly of the hinge lines extend upwardly of opposite edges of the carton and afford support for the side panels and limit inward movement thereof as the bolsters are moved to protect the articles in the corners of the carton. When the tray is loaded with eggs, it is placed in a plastic bag which is heat shrunk to the carton to rigidify the carton. The heat of shrinking seals the open end of the bag as the open end is drawn together by the heat shrinking operation. The corner bolsters enable ready stacking of the cartons one on top of the other with the eggs in the top carton spaced above the eggs in the lower carton.

A wide three row 18 cell egg carton adapted to be stacked for use in standard 12 cell egg filling machinery has a tray section with three longitudinal rows of side-by-side egg cells, an upwardly and outwardly inclined stiff latch flap integrally hinged to the front top edge of the tray section, a dished cover section integrally hinged to the top rear edge of the tray section and a perpipheral wall on the cover bottoming on the top of the tray section adapted to receiver the latch flap there behind and having receptacles to receive the latches of the flap. Pairs of the cartons are molded in side-by-side relation on a standard width thermoforming machine from thermoplastic sheet material and sufficient molding area for the wider three roll 18 cell cartons and the flaps is provided by forming the flaps of the pairs in juxtaposed side-by-side relation inclined toward each other away from the sheet line as the trays and covers of the carton are formed. The inclination of the flaps away from the sheet line provides additional space to mold the flaps without widening the forming area.
