  • Patent number: 3966083
    Abstract: This invention relates to containers adapted for use in the bulk packaging of articles; such as nails, bolts, screws, nuts and the like; which are commonly employed for home repairs and/or improvements. Each container includes a main body and a pivotally attached lid. The main body includes a bottom wall and upstanding peripheral walls defining a compartment for containing the articles therein. A hollow tubular section is part of the container body and has a height substantially equal to the height of the container compartment. At least a segment of the tubular section has an outer surface defining part of the compartment configuration; the remaining part of the compartment configuration being defined by the peripheral walls of the main body. Upper margins of the peripheral walls and the tubular member which define upper boundaries of the compartment are engaged by cooperating surfaces of the lid to completely enclose the article-containing compartment.

  • Patent number: RE29172
    Abstract: The voltage dividing DC circuit breaker comprises serially connected high voltage and low voltage switches to carry load current. Serial capacitors are connected in parallel thereto and a crossed field switching device is connected in parallel to the low voltage switch. When the low voltage and high voltage switches are opened, current is forced through the crossed field switching device. When the crossed field switching device is turned off, the arcing high voltage switch is forced below its chopping current. The open circuit voltage is divided across the capacitors.
