20090120933 | TECHNIQUES FOR MANUFACTURING MOLDED COMPONENTS FOR USE WITH GAMING SYSTEMS - A method is provided for manufacturing a conical-shaped cover device from a transparent, thermally deformable sheet material. The method includes supporting the sheet material about a peripheral base portion of the conical-shaped cover device to be formed. The base portion substantially encloses an interior region thereof. This region is heated to a deformable condition that enables deformability thereof. At least one of a central portion of the interior region and the base portion of the conical shaped device is urged in a direction opposite one another, generally along the longitudinal axis of the conical-shaped cover device. A non-contacted conical intermediate portion of the conical shaped cover, between the central portion and the base portion, is formed in a manner that substantially preserves the optical and/or surface finish properties of the sheet material without the need for secondary processing thereof. | 05-14-2009 |
20090166360 | ASSEMBLY FOR A WASTE DISPOSAL BIN - An assembly for a waste disposal bin is provided. The assembly comprises an upper device adapted for mounting on an upper opening of a lower garbage receptacle. The upper element comprises a movable cavity having at least one opening. The cavity has a first position for receiving waste therein through the opening wherein the upper device closes the opening of the receptacle to prevent communication between the cavity and the receptacle and a second position for transferring the waste from the cavity to the receptacle wherein the upper device allows communication between the cavity and the receptacle and prevents communication between the receptacle and surroundings. | 07-02-2009 |
20090261099 | EXPANDABLE CONTAINER HAVING LID FOR PROVIDING HEADSPACE CONTROL IN A FOOD CAN - Expandable Container having Lid for Providing Headspace Control in a Food Can The invention relates to lids for cans for receiving foodstuff which are to be subjected to a thermal treatment above 50° C. as sterilization or at least pasteurization. The lid ( | 10-22-2009 |
20100288768 | LID FOR A DISPOSABLE CONTAINER - A lid for a cup includes an annular wall with a top rim and a bottom base. The annular wall is insertable substantially in its entirety into a cup wherein an exterior face of the annular wall produces a compressive force against an interior face of the cup sufficient to create a seal along a continuous path circumscribing the interior face of the annular wall of the cup. A surface extends from an interior face of the annular wall and the surface covers an area circumscribed by the annular wall. The surface has a dispensing orifice therein. | 11-18-2010 |
20110272404 | Access-Hole Cover for Support Structures - An access-hole cover for support structures, such as light poles, highway sign supports and other structures that have access holes providing access to the interior of the structure. The access-hole cover prevents or reduces water and other foreign objects from entering the interior of the structure, which can cause deterioration of the structure and components therein. | 11-10-2011 |
20120228294 | LIGHT WEIGHT HINGED TOP - A light weight hinged top (top) is described to be used as a container top. This particular model provides ease of use and requires significantly less material for manufacturing. A novel way of connecting the top and the container is using a fork spring which has three fingers like structures. The two outer structures are smaller than the middle one. The fork spring due to its resiliency brings the container top back to closing position thus providing self closing and self reseal ability for the top. A guide member also helps to position the top when it opens and closes. The top can be made using metal, biodegradable materials or any flexible material. The top can be used for cans or bottles. | 09-13-2012 |
20140209602 | FLEXIBLE PLASTIC PACKAGING BOX - A flexible plastic packaging box includes a lid and a box body having an opening at one end. The lid includes a lid body and an annular ring surrounding a periphery of the lid body. The box body is provided with an outer flange at a rim thereof adjacent to the opening surrounding an outer wall of the box body. The annular ring may be engaged with the outer flange such that the lid is detachably attached to the box body and seals the opening of the box body. The annular ring surrounding the periphery of the lid body forms a latching groove surrounding the lid body, the annular ring is capable of engaging the outer flange, and because of the elasticity of the flexible plastic, the lid is more reliably fixed on the box body and seals the opening of the box body. | 07-31-2014 |
