Publication number: 20210339927Abstract: A biodegradable, thermally insulated mailer and cooler, and method of making them, are disclosed. The thermally insulated packaging material are made from laminated starch foam and bio-plastic film. The lamination can be performed by heat bonding, without the use of an adhesive bonding agent, to produce biodegradable packaging materials that can pass ASTM and other certifications for home compostability and marine environment safety.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2021Publication date: November 4, 2021Applicant: Frontier Paper & Packaging IncorporatedInventor: James Branham

Patent number: 10738974Abstract: A lighting device for film and television for attachment to a light fixture has interconnected preferably trapezoidal panels connected to adjacent panels along opposing ends within a fabric sleeve, the wider edges of the panels connectable to the lighting fixture. Each panel has a corrugated plastic core and fibreglass rods inserted perpendicular to the parallel edges of the panels adjacent a first end, adjacent an opposing second end, and at a medial position. A hinge having attachment means is provided at one end of the extension housing. The device may be folded upon itself to about ? of its original size and requires no assembly as it is a single unit. Although the enclosure is collapsible, once it is attached to any light fixture it becomes a rigid frame that does not collapse.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2019Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Inventor: Michael James Branham

Patent number: 9067839Abstract: A vermicomposting device for vermicomposting organic material, comprises a casing including an annular hollow body member defining an internal cavity, a head member mounted to an upper end portion of the body member and a base member removably attached to a lower end portion of the body member, and a plurality of composting trays removably disposed within the internal cavity in a stacked relationship. Each of the composting trays is an open top tray including a circular perforated bottom wall surrounded by an annular side wall upwardly extending from the perforated bottom wall. The base member includes a support portion and a drip bucket disposed under the composting trays to receive and collect any liquid byproduct from the vermicomposting process. The head member is movable relative to the body member so as to provide an access to the internal cavity of the body member.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2011Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: Frontier Paper & Packaging, Inc.Inventor: James Branham
