| 20090038271 | CONTAINER AND LID ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE - A plastic container and lid assembly for storing liquid coating materials including a container and a lid. The container has a body with a bottom wall, at least four sidewalls and a neck. The neck defines a wide mouth opening and includes threads for receiving mating threads on the lid. The lid also has a plurality of lugs, preferably two lugs, extending radially from the lid and terminating at or before the lugs extend beyond the container sidewalls when the lid is in sealed engagement with the container. The body also has an integral handle for lifting the container and the container neck supports a bail-type handle also for lifting said container. The container handle and bail-type handles do not extend beyond the container sidewall. The container and lid assembly having an effective packing footprint and an effective packing volume which substantially conforms to the effective packing footprint and the effective packing volume of a conventional metal paint can. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090050623 | APPARATUS FOR BREWING AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME - Apparatus for brewing a brew substance with a liquid comprises: a container for storing the liquid, the container including at least one aperture for dispensing liquid therefrom; a sealed packet of filter paper containing the brew substance; and a layer of heat sensitive film encapsulating the sealed packet, the encapsulated packet disposed within the container at a position covering the at least one aperture, the container configured to sit on top of a drinking container to permit liquid to drain into the drinking container from the at least one aperture thereof. In addition, a method of making a brewing apparatus comprises the steps of: configuring a container to store liquid for brewing and to dispense the liquid through at least one aperture therein; encapsulating a sealed packet of filter paper containing a brew substance with a layer of heat sensitive film; disposing the encapsulated packet within the container at a position covering the at least one aperture; and configuring the container to sit on top of a drinking container to permit liquid to drain into the drinking container from the at least one aperture thereof. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20110101004 | POLYMERIC CEREAL CONTAINER AS WELL AS SYSTEM AND METHOD UTILIZING SAME - A polymeric cereal container includes a first wall, a cereal chamber at least partially formed by the first wall, and a container opening at least partially defined by the first wall. A first quantity of dry cereal can be received within the cereal chamber, and a second quantity of dry cereal can be provided separately. A method can include providing and filling a polymeric cereal container with a quantity of dry cereal. A system can operate to fill a polymeric cereal container with a quantity of dry cereal. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110121006 | COLLAPSIBLE CONTAINER WITH STOWED COMPONENT - A semi-collapsible container has a hollow body with support and collapsible portions, and can be maintained in a collapsed or an expanded condition. The container is useful for storing liquid, and is especially adapted in its collapsed condition for storing relatively small volumes of concentrated liquid, powders or the like, and in its expanded condition for containing larger volumes of liquid. Via a dispenser in the container, a closure assembly is coupled to the container for securing the contents thereof from leakage. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110121007 | COLLAPSIBLE CONTAINER THAT EXPANDS WHEN WATER IS ADDED - A semi-collapsible container has a hollow body with support and collapsible portions, and can be maintained in a collapsed or an expanded condition. The container is useful for storing liquid, and is especially adapted in its collapsed condition for storing relatively small volumes of concentrated liquid, powders or the like, and in its expanded condition for containing larger volumes of liquid. Via a dispenser in the container, a closure assembly is coupled to the container for securing the contents thereof from leakage. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110121026 | COLLAPSIBLE CONTAINER HANDLE CONFIGURATION - A semi-collapsible container has a hollow body with support and collapsible portions, and can be maintained in a collapsed or an expanded condition. The container is useful for storing liquid, and is especially adapted in its collapsed condition for storing relatively small volumes of concentrated liquid, powders or the like, and in its expanded condition for containing larger volumes of liquid. Via a dispenser in the container, a closure assembly is coupled to the container for securing the contents thereof from leakage. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110127276 | COLLAPSIBLE CONTAINER WITH Z-SHAPED HINGE - A semi-collapsible container has a hollow body with support and collapsible portions, and can be maintained in a collapsed or an expanded condition. The container is useful for storing liquid, and is especially adapted in its collapsed condition for storing relatively small volumes of concentrated liquid, powders or the like, and in its expanded condition for containing larger volumes of liquid. Via a dispenser in the container, a closure assembly is coupled to the container for securing the contents thereof from leakage. | 06-02-2011 |
| 20110239594 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FILLING A COLLAPSIBLE CONTAINER - A system and method for filling a collapsible container are provided. Such a collapsible container may be made of a relatively rigid portion and a collapsible portion, with the collapsible portion having a collapsed condition and an expanded condition. An obstruction maintains the collapsible portion in the collapsed condition while the container is filled with contents. The obstruction may remain in place until the container is capped and sealed with the contents stored inside the container. | 10-06-2011 |
