Abstract: A cap and container especially suited for dispensing liquids has a cap which is accurately aligned upon closure. The container is closed by applying downward axial pressure to the cap, thereby forcing lugs in the cap to pass over threads located on the neck of the container so that the cap is snapped on. Stop walls prevent any undesired cap rotation. Stabilizing lugs are alternatively provided to add additional stability. Alternatively, the container is closed by twisting or rotating the cap with respect to the neck. The cap may also be twisted or snapped off. Modifications in the neck configuration make the cap irremovable.

Abstract: A process for reducing sugarcane bagasse to a peat moss-like material that is useful as a planting or potting soil consists of the steps of: (1) screening the bagasse to remove the short fibers which are about 1/4 to 3/8 inch (6.35-9.53 mm) in length; (2) feeding the so-screened bagasse through a hammermill to reduce the remaining long fibers to fibers of a shorter length; and, (3) removing the short fibers which are about 1/4 to 3/8 inch (6.35-9.53 mm) in length as they are generated in the hammermill. The product consisting essentially of short fibers of bagasse which are about 1/4 to 3/8 inch (6.35-9.53 mm) in length produced by the foregoing process.

Abstract: An insulator having a universal configuration can be placed around many different types of steam traps. The insulator comprises a housing having suitable openings for water drainage and testing of the trap by an ultrasonic probe, and thermal insulation. Use of the insulator results in more efficient operation of the trap and saves energy. One of the outstanding features of the insulator is its ease of installation.
