  • Patent number: 11490701
    Abstract: A glasses case having a reducible size is described, having an inner frame including a filiform element made of resiliently flexible material. The element has a closed profile and is folded to assume a first, saddle-shaped configuration in which two portions of the element are formed that extend laterally from opposite sides with respect to a top zone of the element, and a case body, which holds the frame in the operative configuration, the body is connected to the frame along its profile and extends to delimit the inner volume of the case. The case has a second, non-operative configuration having a smaller size by a first relative torsional fold of the frame portions, thus forming a substantially eight-shaped configuration, followed by a second fold that brings the frame portions together such that they lie one on top of the other until a flattened shape of the case is obtained.

  • Patent number: 11434051
    Abstract: In consumer-market containers for beverages or other contents under pressure, the cap provides a gas-tight seal by way of two mechanisms that work interdependently. The first is a pressure grip configured to grip the outside wall of the container. The second is twist threads, or some other second attachment structure, that urges the inside of the cap (or, typically, a cap liner disposed thereon) against the rim of the container. Release of pressurized gases when the container is first opened can be by way of release vents in the cap, or via the bottom of the cap through the twist thread area. In the latter case, particular configurations of the pressure grip are relied on to establish the gas escape path.

  • Patent number: 11430282
    Abstract: A standard sized coin roll holder is loaded with a stack of alternating coins and spacers such that a variable number of coins can be accommodated in a standard sized holder. The number of coins loaded into the holder can be configured to be one more than the number of spacers, starting with a coin, then a spacer and so on, such that a coin occupies both the first position and the last position in the stack and making a coin face visible at each end. A twenty coin holder can be loaded, for example, with 10 coins and 9 spacers or with 5 coins and 4 spacers. A compressible silicone rubber washer can also be included to account for slight variations in coin thickness, thus securing the stack within the available height inside a closed and sealed case.
