  • Patent number: 11932458
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a closing ring closure device for a closing ring with a closing lever and a one-piece or two-piece traction bracket, each of which are pivotably mounted by means of pivot bearings on a pivot bearing base on the closing ring side, wherein the traction bracket and the closing lever are pivotably connected to one another by means of a further pivot bearing. For automation in production technology and for the use of mechanical closing ring closure devices, e.g. on automatic filling lines, it is very advantageous if the two components closing lever and traction bracket are provided with special constructive means which are designed in a mutually coordinated functional mode between the two components as a snap-fit device for fixing the closing ring closure device in wide-open closing lever position.

  • Publication number: 20230312177
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a closed-head drum (10) with inserted thin-walled inliner (22) of multilayer plastic film for storing and transporting liquid or free-flowing filling materials. In order to improve the use of liners in closed-head drums, and to facilitate in particular the handling for the users such as the filling and emptying operators, so as to allow the closed-head drum (10) with liner (22) to be handled in precisely the same way as a closed-head drum without a liner, the present invention provides for the liner surface to adhere, or be adhesively bonded in a detachable manner, to the inner wall of the drum by virtue of a vacuum being created in the intermediate air space between the inner wall of the drum and liner surface and by thermal activation by means of hot air injection into the interior of the inliner.

  • Patent number: 11208250
    Abstract: A pallet container having a thin-walled rigid inner container including thermoplastic plastics material, having a tubular grid frame, which tightly encloses the plastics inner container as a support covering and includes horizontal and vertical tubular rods, is disclosed. At least one member selected from the group consisting of at least one of the vertical tubular rods and at least one of the horizontal tubular rods has a square-shaped or round hollow profile as the original basic profile and a tube profile that has been changed by mechanical shaping. The original basic profile of at least one member selected from the group consisting of at least one of the horizontal tubular rods and at least one of the vertical tubular rods is constructed so as to be increased by a predeterminable amount via an intersection region of the horizontal tubular rods and vertical tubular rods, which are welded to each other.
