20150291350 | Apparatus For Sealing A Vacuum Tank Door - An apparatus for sealing a vacuum tank door. The apparatus comprises a circular flange attached to a door panel of a vacuum tank, a horizontal crossbar connected to the center of the door panel and a lifting assembly. The lifting assembly comprises an upper linkage arm, a lower linkage arm, and a hydraulic cylinder. Activation of the hydraulic cylinder causes the linkage assembly to move downwards pulling on the horizontal crossbar and pulling the vacuum tank door towards the tank. Activation of the hydraulic cylinder also causes a connection point of the lower linkage arm and the upper linkage arm to move over-center of the connection between the lower linkage arm to the to the tank creating a tight seal between the vacuum tank door and the tank. | 10-15-2015 |
20150298860 | Stabilized Mixing Container System - A stabilized mixing container system eliminates the mess generally caused by mixing mortar or like material. The system includes a container having a bottom wall and a perimeter wall coupled to and extending upwardly from the bottom wall. A first slot and a second slot extend into the perimeter wall and are positioned opposite each other. A pair of foot pads is coupled to the container. Each of the foot pads is movable into and out of an associated one of the first and second slots wherein each of the foot pads is movable between an extended position and a storage position. Each of the foot pads extends outwardly from the container when each of the foot pads is in the extended position wherein standing upon the foot pads is configured to inhibit rotation of the container while mixing of contents positioned within the container. | 10-22-2015 |
20150336717 | CONTAINER WITH BUTTERFLY LID CLOSURE - A container with a butterfly lid closure has a base portion and two overlapping hinged lid portions for providing a secure vented closure. The container has a base with a top peripheral edge at an open top end. Two hinged butterfly lid portions are secured to the upper peripheral edge at sides of the base. The lid portions are secured to the base in a closed position by locking recesses on the lid portions that engage locking formations on the upper peripheral edge. A groove on one lid portion engages a groove on another lid portion to form a seal where the lid portions overlap. Venting channels formed on the locking formations allow air to pass in and out of the container, but prevent liquids from entering the container. Arched ridges on the container's sidewalls increase the container's rigidity and resistance to top loading. | 11-26-2015 |
20150353228 | Can/flass soda can. The new can opening. - The two presented opening in “the glass of soda in the can” remove the whole top of the can. and still keep the original design of a small opening. The new opener is able to keep enough pressure and to open a whole top of can without braking. The second opener is design to pull the string from the top, which consequently removes a whole top of a can. Both types of the new can open ends with the same result. The practical aspect of usage of the new soda can: it makes possible to add ice to a drink, it enable to keep it cold by adding an ice, the can be reused, limits the necessity of refrigeration, for advertising purpose by placing adds inside of the can. The new opening brings the higher taste of the drink by not loosing carbohydrates from the soda; which occurs by pouring the carbohydrates. “The glass of soda in the can. The new opening” improves a quality of the drink, saves energy, allows reusing the product and has no any additional cost to the production. | 12-10-2015 |

20160031633 | CAP FOR DISPENSING LIQUIDS OR GELS - A cap for a container that stores and dispenses fluids or gels that includes a shroud having a shroud wall surrounding an opening and a collar connected on the shroud so that the collar selectively rotates relative to the shroud, is provided. The collar is rotatable between a closed position and an open position. The actuator is connected to the shroud, and has a contact portion. The contact portion is in the opening of the shroud. The actuator is movable in the closed position and the open position by a force that is applied to the contact portion only after removal of a tab. | 02-04-2016 |
20160101906 | MEMBRANE TYPE STOPPER - A stopper for a tank having an opening includes a body which is provided to be fixed in the opening and which has a hole, a membrane which is fixed to the body and of which a portion completely blocks the hole, a core which is fixed to the portion of the membrane which blocks the hole, and stop means which are provided to permit a movement of the core between a blocking position which corresponds to the non-broken membrane which blocks the hole, and an open position which corresponds to the broken membrane which is spaced apart from the hole, and to keep the core fixedly joined to the body in an open position. The knowledge of the characteristics of the membrane enables the force from which the stopper opens to be known. | 04-14-2016 |
