  • Patent number: 7434702
    Abstract: A bottle container made of resin includes a cylindrical barrel with a bottom and a cylindrical neck portion with a diameter smaller than that of the barrel. The bottle container also includes an upper part and a lower part divided into two parts by dividing at an upper end or a lower end of the barrel, and under the condition that the upper part and the lower part are connected with each other. The two parts are integrated by a cover member for liquid-tightly covering connecting surfaces of the two parts to shield the connecting surfaces from outside and to integrate the two parts with each other.

  • Publication number: 20020134787
    Abstract: A beverage can cap member (16, 100) is configured so that its exterior surface (28) extending radially inwardly from the rim (18) or rim forming portion (140) is substantially flat or continuous, or has a slight curve from a position adjacent from the rim (18) or rim forming portion (140). The cap member (16, 100) may have a countersink (160) which is filled with a filler material including a curable adhesive, an insert (180) of a natural or synthetic material or the like. The filler material increases the structural strength of the cap member (16, 100) to an extent that it can be made of a relatively thinner material and still complies with the minimum peaking pressure of the industrial standard.

  • Patent number: 6165115
    Abstract: A process is provided for closing and hermetically sealing a bottom of a container. A cylindrical container body is provided which has an inside heat-sealable surface and an open bottom end. A flange is formed on and around the bottom end of the cylindrical container body which extends outwardly from the container body at a sharp radius of approximately 90 degrees to an outside surface of the container body and which defines a flat circular heat-sealable surface on an outer side of the flange. A generally circular membrane patch having an inside heat-sealable surface is positioned on the flat circular heat-sealable surface of the container body flange covering the open bottom end of the container body. The heat-sealable surfaces of the container body flange and the membrane patch are heat-sealed to each other for hermetically sealing the container bottom end.
