Abstract: A plastic carbide lamp includes upper and lower containers or housings with a water control needle valve therebetween. As the needle valve opens, water drips from the upper container upon calcium carbide in the lower container, to generate acetylene gas. The acetylene gas rises into a dome shaped collection chamber having a burner tip therein, at which the acetylene gas burns.

Abstract: A completely enclosed plastic can or container has a neck-like opening closed by a spring biased cap. The cap is controlled by a handle linkage connected to a vertical fin formed on the can by an enlargement of the flash line between two plastic mold parts, which are joined together to mold the container, preferably by a blow molding process. Springs automatically urge the cap and handle to a closed position when the container is sitting at rest. The cap opens as the can is tipped while the handle is being held. A clip-on pouring spout is snapped onto the neck to guide the fluid flowing from the can.
