20100072204 | Two-Piece Closure Device - A closure device includes a door carrying a series of interconnected shear blocks and a keystone shear block designed to transfer stresses created by pressure acting on the door to a surrounding hub. Each interconnected shear block has a limited rotation relative to its adjacent blocks. A holding band operating handle is in communication with a driving link which, in turn, is in communication with the keystone shear block. Actuating the handle causes the keystone shear block to move in an upward vertical direction. The linear movement of the keystone shear block allows the limited rotation of the interconnected shear blocks to occur, thereby causing the circumferential holding band to collapse within itself from an expanded-engaged position to a contracted-removed position relative to said hub. A pressure warning lock provides a safety device and prevents actuation of the holding band operating handle when the pressure chamber is under pressure. | 03-25-2010 |

20130037540 | Twist Vacuum-Sealed Container - A rotary airtight container having a body, a lid that covers the opening of the body, a cover plate connected to the underside of the lid, a lifting mechanism for driving the cover plate to move with respect to the lid, a circumferential cone-shaped seal ring positioned all around the lid, and a tapered annular interface that on the bottom of the lid and engages the seal ring. As the lifting mechanism drives the cover plate to lift relative to the lid, the cone-shaped seal ring lifts relative to the lid and moves upwards along the tapered annular interface to seal the space between the tapered annular interface and the opening of the container, thus isolating the inside of the container from outside. This container changes the ordinary way of sealing that uses a locking nut for tightly pressing on the opening of the container, and is easier to operate. | 02-14-2013 |

20080203093 | Sea containers including at least one dissolvable and/or pressure-sensitive sacrificial plug and/or vent - Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to sea containers. More particularly, certain example embodiments of this invention relate to a sea container including an interior region suitable for storing one or more movable goods. At least one sacrificial plug is located in a first side of the container. At least one vent is located in a second side of the container. The at least one sacrificial plug and/or the at least one vent is/are suitable for allowing water to enter into and/or air to exit out of the sea container. The at least one sacrificial plug and/or vent may be a pressure-sensitive sacrificial plug. Alternatively or in addition, the at least one sacrificial plug and/or vent may be dissolvable (e.g., dissolvable in water). Thus, when such sea containers fall off of a ship, they may provide a suitable window for recovery but also reduce the likelihood that damage will be done to other ships. | 08-28-2008 |
