| 20120061279 | OXYGEN BARRIER MOLDED CONTAINER AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF - A method for manufacturing a plastic container which is substantially impervious to oxygen comprising the steps of corona treating a raw stock of polypropylene film; coating a first side of said raw stock of polypropylene film with an aqueous oxygen barrier solution; placing the film in an injection mold; and injection molding a polypropylene material into the mold to bring the polypropylene material in direct contact with the aqueous oxygen barrier solution. | 03-15-2012 |
| 20110274525 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EMPTYING A LATCHED CONTAINER - A system for unlatching a latched container includes a body. A lid is rotatably affixed to the body and movable between a first position and a second position. A latch is pivotably mounted on the lid for selectively locking the lid in the closed position, the latch having a first member adapted to be pivotably mounted to the lid and a second member adapted to selectively engage a projection on the housing. An arched member connects the first member to the second member. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20110272953 | CART WITH FLEXIBLE LATCH - A cart has a container body and a lid rotatably affixed to the container body so as to be selectively rotated between an open position and a closed position. A latch has a first end adapted to be rotatably affixed to the lid. A second end is adapted to engage the container body. The first end is connected to the second end by an arched member, the arched member is capable of flexure when a force is applied at a concave surface of the arched member. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20110108558 | SELF COOLING CONTAINER - A container that comprises first and second sidewalls and first and second end walls connected to a base. At least one of the base, respective sidewalls, or respective end wall is formed of a material that has a high thermal conductivity. At least each of the sidewalls or each of the end walls may be provided with venting to promote air flow. The first and second end walls and the first and second sidewalls are pivotally connected to the base. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110073609 | CONTAINER WITH A RETRACTABLE HANDLE - A container, comprising a body comprising a bottom wall and sidewalls extending from said bottom wall; at least one of two opposite side walls comprising a handgrip portion in an upper portion thereof, the handgrip portion comprising an aperture; a handle comprising at least one side arm, the at least one side arm comprising a first end, a second end and a length between the first and the second ends; the aperture of the handgrip portion receiving the first end of the handle; the side arm being connected to the body by the first end of the handle sliding inside the handgrip portion through the aperture, from i) a pulled out-position, where the first end of the handle is locked inside the handgrip portion by the aperture and the side arm is pivotable about the aperture, and ii) a retracted position along the sidewall of the body, wherein the first end is engaged deeper in the handgrip portion and the side arm is locked into position by the aperture at a position between the first and the second ends. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110073275 | Geothermal system and tubing therefor - A geothermal heat pump has a pump. A tubing conveys a fluid from the pump and adapted to transfer energy between the fluid and the ambient environment as the fluid travels through the tubing. The tubing has a high thermal conductivity. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20100227094 | OXYGEN BARRIER MOLDED CONTAINER AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF - A method for manufacturing of a plastic container which is substantially impervious to oxygen by providing a bottom film oxygen barrier, the film oxygen barrier having an area greater than the area of a floor of the plastic container; providing a side oxygen barrier film, the side oxygen barrier film being dimensioned to circumscribe a sidewall of the plastic container and having a length greater than the length of the plastic container. A mold has a floor and a sidewall, the mold having a groove extending below the floor and dimensioned to receive an excess length of the side oxygen barrier film therein, and the bottom oxygen barrier film being dimensioned to extend at least partially across said groove. The film oxygen barriers are placed within the mold and a plastic container is injection molded within the cavity. | 09-09-2010 |
