  • Patent number: 4353807
    Abstract: The present invention relates to 9-hydroxy-9,10-boroxarophenanthrene compositions which are particularly suitable additives to improve the stability of lubricating oils and fuel compositions. More particularly, esters of 9-hydroxy-9,10-boroxarophenanthrene which are formed from hindered phenols have been found to have improved and sustained oil solubility and comprise hydrolytically stable antioxidants which, in minor amounts, have been found to impart to oils of lubricating viscosity a high level of protection against oxidative degradation.

  • Patent number: 4240575
    Abstract: A disposable carton formed of low cost material and adapted for the packaging of eggs and the like is formed with coacting elements of a cover and latching flap which, in combination, afford rigidity to those elements, guide the coacting elements on closure and provide for a secure latching susceptible of easy opening. Recesses are provided in cover and latching flap for guidance and rigidity. Latching is accomplished by a recess extending inwardly from the cover front wall to engage the underside of a latching bar of the flap, which is positioned above a substantially rectangular shaped recess in the latching flap. The carton is particularly characterized in that it exhibits improved resistance to crushing when other cartons are stacked upon it. This crush resistance is imparted to the carton by employing integrally molded cover support ribs which are positioned immediately above and adjacent to the locking recesses on the latching flap.
