ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a method and apparatus for assembling a package comprising an open-topped receptacle and a slide actuated closure member. The closure member is comprised of a slide portion connected to a closure portion by a hinge portion. The open-top of the receptacle is placed in contact with the closure portion normal to the path of the closure member and affixed thereto while the movement of the closure member is momentarily interrupted. While the closure member is stationary, the slide portion is forced toward the closure portion buckling the hinge portion out of the plane of the closure member. The receptacle is thereafter rotated about the closure portion to contact the buckled hinge and a portion of the slide portion. The slide portion is thereafter wrapped around the receptacle and affixed in a manner allowing reciprocating movement of the slide portion about the receptacle.
