Patent ID: 8646244

Claim:
A tool set for use in forming a container, the container comprising a first container component having a first peripheral surface and an open-sided volume extending from the first peripheral surface and a second container component having a second peripheral surface, each peripheral surface oriented generally parallel to an axis defining the depth of the second container component, the tool set comprising: a plate with an opening therethrough and supports elevating the plate to define below the opening a volume in which to supportingly receive the open-sided volume of the first container component; a beveled insert disposed within a periphery of the opening through the plate on a top side thereof, the beveled insert configured with an outward-facing peripheral surface of the bevel, oriented to be generally perpendicular to the plane of the plate for receiving and supporting the peripheral edge of the first container component in an orientation generally parallel to an axis defining the depth of the second container component; and a sealing assembly disposed above the plate and the beveled insert, the sealing assembly configured to position the first and second container components to form an enclosed volume with overlapping, mating alignment of the first and second peripheral surfaces pressed against the outward-facing peripheral surface of the bevel, and to apply sealing action to mating peripheral surfaces of the first and second container components, thereby forming a sealing strip for the container oriented generally parallel to an axis defining the depth of the second container component.
