Abstract: A container and method of adhesive bonding of two telescopic container halves wherein each container half has a cylindrical body, the inner container portion being circumferentially loaded to temporarily reduce its diameter and being forced in centered relation to the outer portion into a bead of adhesive laid in the interior of the outer portion to coat the raw edge on the inner portion, the inner portion shearing through the adhesive without wiping it off from the interior of the inner portion and thereafter the hoop stress on the inner portion being relieved so it springs out and squeezes excess bonding material from between the inner and outer portion and thus obtains thin film adhesive bond with good stress shear characteristics while holding the film in compression therebetween during curing or setting of the adhesive.

Abstract: A closure for a container wherein a tape having a metal part and thermoplastic material which is applied to the container wall and heated. Most of the material is squeezed out from between the metal part and the wall into a rib which is formed during application. The material in the rib has an isotropic structural characteristic since the rib formation provides a region into which the excess material is directed minimizing the shearing effect of the flow of material along the interface with the container wall. Also the rib reinforces the tape in the critical region to resist pressure of gasses in the container when used to contain carbonated beverages. This patent covers a method of making the above described closure.

Abstract: A tape for sealing a dispensing opening in a container. The tape is permanently bonded at one end to the container adjacent a dispensing opening in the container, has an intermediate portion overlying the dispensing opening and sealed to the container wall around the dispensing opening, and a free end portion functioning as a grip. The tape differs from other similar tapes in that it is a laminate of two materials with one of the materials being a load bearing material and the other material being a rubbery material, whereby when the tape is removed from the dispensing opening in the usual manner, the load bearing material is stretched beyond its elastic limit and thus when the tape is released it will automatically coil up to an out-of-the-way position relative to the dispensing opening.

Abstract: A composite container comprising a rigid cylindrical sidewall, an end closure integrally attached to the sidewall, a product-compatible liner disposed within said sidewall, and a cutter element, carried between the sidewall and the liner, for rupturing the liner to permit passage of product therethrough. The end closure is formed of a distal end portion of the sidewall folded into a plurality of interconnected triangular segments disposed transverse the principal axis of the container and arranged to be reformable into a pouring spout. A grasping element is attached to both the cutter element and the end closure, such that the end closure may be opened, the pour spout erected and the liner ruptured in a single operation.

Abstract: A water-repellent cellulose and articles comprising the water-repellent cellulose are disclosed together with a process and apparatus for preparing the same. The water-repellent cellulose is prepared by exposing one or more sides and edges of a cellulose sheet, pad, or cloth to aliphatic acid chloride vapors. The resulting product is water-repellent along the treated sides and edges and, in general, water-permeable along the untreated sides and edges. Therefore, the treated cellulose products of this invention are especially suitable for disposable articles of sanitary clothing, sanitary napkins, bandaging materials, paper cups, bags and the like.

Abstract: Micron size polymer particles with narrow particle size distribution are prepared by dissolving the polymer in a suitable liquid solvent, impinging an atomized spray of the dissolved polymer on a moving film of a liquid in which the polymer is insoluble and then recovering the polymer particles from the resultant mixture of liquids.

Abstract: A method is provided of treating a domestic mammal for the prevention of minimization of infestation by insects of the order Diptera. The method comprises the application to the mammal of 3-phenoxybenzyl-2,2-dimethyl-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl) cyclopropane-1-carboxylate (the compounds of formula I) or a formulation comprising a compound of formula I in intimate admixture with a carrier or diluent therefor.

Abstract: Cartons for packaging and mailing books and the like include parallel major and minor walls which are foldably interconnected to form a tubular structure and a closure and protecting structure for each end of the tubular structure including end flaps which are folded to form triangularly shaped air cushions, and, in a modification, a trapezoidally shaped air cushion. The end flaps are provided with locking tabs which engage corresponding notches in the top surface of one of the major walls in order to form the air cushions.

Abstract: A novel material is disclosed and a process and apparatus for making the same, which process comprises reacting one side of a solid sheet or film of a polymeric compound containing reactable hydroxyl or amine groups with a vapor phase mixture of acid chloride and aldehyde. The resulting product is water-repellent along the treated side and water-permeable along the opposite, untreated side. Also disclosed are novel disposable articles such as sanitary clothing and containers for liquids fashioned from the material made by means of the process and apparatus of the present invention.
