  • Patent number: 11698215
    Abstract: A method of packing a temperature sensitive product utilizes a temperature controlled product shipper that includes a phase change material bladder which can be filled with a preconditioned brined-slurry PCM at the point of packaging. The temperature sensitive product is contained within a product box or master case, which is in turn packed inside an insulated liner and an outer box. The PCM bladder fits between the master case and the insulated liner and is filled with the preconditioned flowable PCM at the point of packing just before closing the box for shipment.

  • Patent number: 4191035
    Abstract: A combination lock, particularly a domestic door lock, comprises a rotatable and axially movable plunger, a plurality of axially displaceable pins disposed around the plunger, a rotary ward disc carried by the plunger and co-operating with slots in said pins to allow rotary movement of the plunger only when selected ones of the pins are axially displaced, relative to the remainder, to have slots therein aligned with the ward disc, and a member carried by the plunger and capable of moving the pins to an aligned position upon axial movement of the plunger. A user can move said selected ones to render the plunger turnable to open the door and then easily pull or push the plunger to cause said member to re-align the pins to prevent the selected pins remaining depressed and the "combination" visible.
