| 20090139911 | METHOD OF DETECTING DEFECTIVE CONTAINERS - Methods for identifying defective containers that include a) providing a container having an open rim end, a closed base end, an exterior surface and an interior surface; b) directing one or more sources of electromagnetic radiation toward the exterior surface or interior surface of the container; c) positioning one or more sensors for the electromagnetic radiation opposite the exterior or interior surface not directed to in b); d) accepting the container if the amount of electromagnetic radiation detected by the one or more sensors is within a predetermined range; and e) rejecting the container if the amount of electro-magnetic radiation is not within the predetermined range. The methods can be used in devices that contain a) conveying means for moving containers; b) means for directing sources of electromagnetic radiation; c) means for detecting electromagnetic radiation; and d) means for separating containers. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090162588 | LABELED CONTAINERS MADE FROM EXPANDABLE THERMOPLASTIC MATERIALS HAVING IMPROVED PHYSICAL PROPERTIES - Labeled thin-wall containers molded from pre-expanded expandable thermoplastic particles having a label disposed over at least a portion of the outer surface of the container. The particles are coated with a composition that includes at least 2,500 ppm of a salt of a C | 06-25-2009 |
| 20100047496 | LABELED CONTAINERS, METHODS AND DEVICES FOR MAKING SAME - A device and method for producing labeled expanded resin containers; the method including applying a label sheet, formed from a label material capable of maintaining an electrostatic charge, to an inner wall of female portions of two-part molds, positioning one or more male portions of the two-part molds in contact with the corresponding female portions to form one or more mold cavities; adding expandable resin beads or pre-expanded resin beads to the mold cavities; applying a sufficient amount of heat for a sufficient length of time to the mold cavities to effect expansion of the expandable resin beads or pre-expanded resin beads to form labeled containers; cooling the labeled containers; and removing the labeled containers from the mold cavities. The labels on the external wall of the labeled containers present a smooth circumferential surface. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100213631 | COATING COMPOSITION FOR THERMOPLASTIC RESIN PARTICLES FOR FORMING FOAM CONTAINERS - Expandable or pre-expanded thermoplastic particles, e.g. polystyrene particles, used to form foam containers e.g. cups, bowls, are coated with a coating composition comprising a liquid part consisting of a) liquid polyethylene glycol with an average molecular weight of 200 to 800; and a solid part comprising components selected from the group consisting of b) polyolefin wax, e.g. polyethylene wax, c) a metal salt of higher fatty acids, e.g. zinc stearate or calcium stearate; d) polyethylene glycol with an average molecular weight of 900 to 10,000; and e) a fatty bisamide or fatty amide, e.g. ethylene bis-stearamide; and combinations of b) through e). The coating composition prevents or resists leakage of liquids and foods with oil and/or fatty components and improves the rim strength and ATF properties of foam containers. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100308486 | COATING COMPOSITION FOR THERMOPLASTIC RESIN PARTICLES FOR FORMING FOAM CONTAINERS - Expandable or pre-expanded thermoplastic particles, e.g. polystyrene particles, used to form foam containers e.g. cups, bowls, are coated with a coating composition comprising a liquid part consisting of a) liquid polyethylene glycol with an average molecular weight of 200 to 800; and a solid part comprising components selected from the group consisting of b) polyolefin wax, e.g. polyethylene wax, c) a metal salt of higher fatty acids, e.g. zinc stearate or calcium stearate; d) polyethylene glycol with an average molecular weight of 900 to 10,000; and e) a fatty bisamide or fatty amide, e.g. ethylene bis-stearamide; and combinations of b) through e). The coating composition prevents or resists leakage of liquids and foods with oil and/or fatty components and improves the rim strength and ATF properties of foam containers. | 12-09-2010 |

| 20120018182 | PERCUSSION DEVICE - The invention relates to a percussion device having a frame, a tool mounted movable in its longitudinal direction, the percussion device containing a work chamber having a movably mounted transmission piston to compress the tool so that a longitudinal stress pulse is generated to the tool, inlet and outlet channels for conducting the pressure fluid to the percussion device and away from it and a control valve that alternately directs the pressure fluid from the inlet channel to the work chamber to act on the transmission piston and, correspondingly, discharges the pressure fluid from the percussion device. The percussion device and trans-mission piston have channels that connect the pressure fluid that acted on the transmission piston to flow during the return movement of the transmission piston through the control valve and transmission piston to the pressure fluid outlet channel and cut off the flow when the transmission piston has returned to its initial position. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20120018657 | SEALING ARRANGEMENT IN ROTATING CONTROL VALVE OF PRESSURE FLUID-OPERATED PERCUSSION DEVICE - The invention relates to a sealing arrangement in a rotating control valve of a pressure fluid-operated percussion device, to which percussion device a tool is mountable movable in its longitudinal direction, the percussion device containing a work chamber and a transmission piston mounted movable to compress the tool suddenly to generate a stress pulse to the tool, inlet and outlet channels for conducting pressure fluid to the percussion device and away from it, and a control valve having a rotating switch member with channels to connect inlet and outlet channels through the channels of the switch member to alternately conduct the pressure fluid through the channels to the work chamber and, correspondingly, away from the work chamber, and in the inlet channel of the pressure fluid at the switch member side end thereof at least one sealing sleeve for the purpose of sealing the inlet channel to the switch member. In the arrangement, the sealing sleeve is mounted obliquely to the surface of the switch member and the switch member side surface of the sealing sleeve is essentially in the shape of the switch member surface. | 01-26-2012 |
