Publication number: 20240131772Abstract: A method for manufacturing a container includes forming a top portion of a preform by injecting a first material into a mold. A bottom portion of the preform is formed by injecting a second material into the mold to form inner and outer layers of the bottom portion and injecting a third material into the mold to form an intermediate layer of the bottom portion that is positioned between the inner layer and the outer layer. The third material includes virgin polyethylene terephthalate and an additive.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: RING CONTAINER TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: PAUL VINCENT KELLEY, MICHAEL GREEN, DOUGLAS MILES DYGERT, DANIEL M.

Patent number: 6705800Abstract: A drainage system for delivering fluid from a source of fluid for absorption into the ground, comprises a trench, a pair of perforated drainage conduits extending longitudinally in said trench and laterally spaced from each other to define an open chamber therebetween. The conduits are connected at one end to the source for receiving fluid from the source and delivering fluid to the chamber. A longitudinally extending cover overlies said conduits and prevents soil from falling into the chamber. The cover includes side portions which engage the conduits and a center portion connected to the side portions and maintains the conduits in laterally spaced relationship. The cover also includes reinforcing arches extending between the side portions and the center portion to resist downward deflection of the cover under the weight of the top soil. Vent holes in the cover permit the system to breathe.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2002Date of Patent: March 16, 2004Assignee: Ring Industrial Group, LPInventors: Carl D. Ring, Douglas M.

Patent number: 5462169Abstract: A novel composite package including a rectangular, outer, paperboard box and a rectangular, thin-walled, lightweight, molded plastic bottle within the box suitable for use with hazardous liquid materials. At its upper end, the bottle has a pouring spout adjacent its front wall and an elongated hollow handle extending from the pouring spout to the rear wall and defining an air passageway between the pouring spout and the liquid containing chamber within the bottle. A vent spout is provided at the rear of the hollow handle. The top flap assembly of the box includes knock-out flap portions which overlie the pouring spout, the hollow handle, and the vent spout, those knock-out portions being removable when it is desirable to pour liquid from the package. A pair of paperboard reinforcing pads are placed between the underside of the top flap assembly and the top of the plastic bottle, the pads enhancing the crush resistance and impact strength of the package.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 1994Date of Patent: October 31, 1995Assignee: Ring Can CorporationInventors: Douglas M.
