20100012462Apparatus for nesting bottles - The objective of this invention is to provide an apparatus for forming a stable arrangement of bottles so they can be moved on an inline conveyor system. This is accomplished by an apparatus for nesting bottles comprising a first conveyor having lanes of bottles, and a second conveyor, wherein a fixed number of bottles from each lane is released from each lane in a staggered arrangement to facilitate nesting of the released bottles and then pushing and guiding the released bottles from the first conveyor onto a second conveyor so that the bottles form a nested bundle.01-21-2010
20100126901Thermofrom a tray insitu with an article - The objective of this invention is to eliminate the stacking of the trays into nests and removing the trays from the nest. Another objective is to eliminate the need for an increase size of the indentations and achieve a more snug fit. These objectives are accomplished by forming the tray insitu with the articles. This insures a snug fit and at the same time allows the articles to be removed from the tray as a unit.05-27-2010

20090071102Handle for heat shrink packages - The objective of this invention is to provide a handle for carrying an article or a bundle of bottles that is more resistant to tearing and delaminating and has the ability to carry heavy loads. This is accomplished by placing a strip on the inside of the wrapping material and wrapping an article, so that the strip that forms the handle is enclosed within the wrapping material. By placing the handle inside the wrapping material so that the strip overlaps when the wrapping material covers the article, the handle is capable of carrying heavy loads03-19-2009

20110132800Film wrapping gable containers - This invention is directed to film wrapped and heat shrunk bundles of gabled containers to form bundles that can be stacked on pallets and not be constrained by the gables in determining the size of the bundles. This is accomplished by nesting the gable containers on a conveyor on their side. The nesting of the gable containers on their side provides a stable structure that can be moved on a conveyor to be film wrapped. After film wrapping, the containers are conveyed to a heat shrink tunnel to form bundles of gable containers that can be placed on a pallet.06-09-2011

20110284558Heat shrinkable bubble wrapping machine - This invention is to replace the need for a corrugated carton by wrapping an article with a heat shrinkable bubble wrap film. Heat shrinking the bubble wrap will allow the bubble wrap to shrink sufficiently to conform to an article such as a group of containers, e.g. bottles. Because of the inability of the bubble wrap film to tightly shrink around the containers, the containers can move and bump each other. To ensure stability, the bubble wrapped article is film wrapped with a heat shrink film and heat shrunk to provide an article that does not require a corrugated box for to ensure the integrity of the containers11-24-2011

20110307056MEDICAL VALVE IMPLANT FOR IMPLANTATION IN AN ANIMAL BODY AND/OR HUMAN BODY - The invention relates to a medical valve implant for implantation in the animal body and/or human body, comprising a support frame that includes a first end and a second end, which are disposed on opposite ends of the support frame in a main extension direction of support frame. According to the invention, one or more auxiliary devices that are required for implantation and/or that serve a functional purpose for a limited time and are intended to remain in the body after implantation are formed, at least in sections, of a material that can decompose in the body.12-15-2011

20110147254FOIL PACKAGING - A foil packaging for soft food masses includes a container film shape-formed into the form of an open container and a lidding film which is sealed onto the container film closing the container with a lid. The container film and lidding film are multi-layered and one of the layers is an aluminum foil, which is optionally pre-lacquered and if desired printed on and lacquer-coated on one side. The aluminum foil of the container film and the lidding film is coated with a polymer and a hot-sealing lacquer is provided on the polymer layer of the container film. The polymer, optionally coated with hot-sealing lacquer, may be situated on the sealing side of the aluminum foil of the lidding film, and a corrosion protection layer, if desired in the form of a polymer, is provided on the other side of the aluminum foil. Alternatively, the aluminum foil of the lidding film may be coated on the sealing side with hot-sealing lacquer and the polymer layer, optionally coated with hot-sealing lacquer, is situated on the other side of the aluminum foil.06-23-2011
