Patent number: 11407131Abstract: A cutting tool includes a first arm assembly which includes a first jaw member connected to a first handle. A second arm assembly includes a second jaw member connected to a second handle. The first arm assembly and the second arm assembly are rotatably connected to one another so as to rotate relative to one another. The first jaw member has a first outer surface configured to project away from the first jaw member and defines a first boundary. The second jaw member has a second outer surface configured to project away from the second jaw member and defines a second boundary. A cutting blade is positioned between the first and second jaw members and is positioned spaced apart from the first boundary and the second boundary with the first and second arm assemblies positioned in one of an open position or closed position.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2020Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventor: James S.

Patent number: 4673104Abstract: A device for applying molded plastic clips to unattached containers to form multiple container packages which includes a container alignment device for aligning the unattached containers for application of the clips by generating uniform forces between the unattached containers during the application of the clips. This is accomplished by a series of star wheels that generate a predetermined downstream force and a predetermined upstream force by adjusting the predetermined phase angle between the star wheel means. This results in a substantially zero resultant force which ensures uniform expansion and precise alignment of the containers during application of the clips.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 1986Date of Patent: June 16, 1987Assignee: Adolph Coors CompanyInventor: James S. Bader

Patent number: 4552265Abstract: A clip for forming a multiple container package which is capable of securely holding cans to form a multiple can package and allowing ease of disengagement and relative bending of adjacent cans in directions parallel to the multiple container package. A cover is also disclosed which engages the clip which can comprise a coupon. The clip is designed to engage cans having a wide range of counter-sink depths by providing an ear having a guiding portion with sufficient flexibility to conform to the top portion of the can. A hook portion of the clip is designed to securely engage the chime portion of the can while uniform support is provided by a concentric support wall, to maintain engagement of the can in a secure manner with increased holding ability. A rib structure extends into the ear portion to provide additional support. Flange means limit movement of discrete body portions of the clip to allow ease in disengagement in response to radial diagonal movement of cans during disengagement.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 1983Date of Patent: November 12, 1985Assignee: Adolph Coors CompanyInventor: James S.

Patent number: 4548021Abstract: A system for applying clips and covers to cans to form multiple container packages. The system utilizes a prefeed device to obtain a preferential distribution of clips supplied in bulk form. An orienter separates and orients the clips in a manner suitable for application to the cans. The cans are fed in 2 rows and held with a predetermined spacing so that the clips can be applied to form a multiple container package. A cover applicator then applies a cover or coupon to the multiple container package by forcing a prescored portion of the cover into the clip so that it interlocks with the clip. Apparatus is also provided for folding and gluing skirted portions of the cover around the periphery of the multiple container package.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 1983Date of Patent: October 22, 1985Assignee: Adolph Coors CompanyInventors: James S. Bader, Larry M. Dugan

Patent number: 4216859Abstract: A clip for joining together a plurality of cans having a chime on their upper edge employs a body supporting a chime-engaging hook at its lower end and a spaced pair of chime-engaging tabs at its upper end, all of which cooperate to engage one can chime. The body is flexibly hinged between portions dedicated to engage each can so that the hook and tabs engaging one can are not deformed by pivotal motion of other cans in the clip. For greatest material efficiency each hook engages the chime over an arc segment, and the tabs engage the chime over a non-overlapping arc segment at each end of the segment engaged by the hook. The tabs extend downwardly against the inside chime surface to abutment with the can end. A cover sheet may be used in association with the clip, and may have a peripheral skirt protecting the can sides.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 1979Date of Patent: August 12, 1980Assignee: Adolph Coors CompanyInventors: James S.
