  • Plural cable container conveyor and turn therefor
    Patent number: 4230223
    Abstract: A dual cable conveyor and a turn comprising two parallel horiztonally running container-conveying and supporting cables. The cables run in parallel tracks and both simultaneously support the can which straddles the cables. At the turn, an upper and a lower sheave are provided independently rotatable about a common vertical axis. Each sheave has a peripheral groove defined by a narrow upper flange and a wide cable-supporting lower flange. The upper flange is less than the radius of the cable and the lower flange is greater than the radius but smaller than the diameter. The inner cable rides about the upper sheave which is smaller and runs faster than the lower sheave. The inner cable has lengthwise thereof its upper sector tangential to the outer periphery of the upper sheave and therewith supports and advances the cans between appropriately curved inner and outer guide rails.

  • Pilferproof container
    Patent number: 4197960
    Abstract: A tamper-proof cap and neck assembly made of stretchable plastic material in which the neck has portions fitted within and about a short metal neck portion of a container which serves as a rigidifying back up for the plastic neck and for a locking shoulder on the neck to provide a deflection resistant structure and thereby prevent a tamper-indicating ring connected to the cap from slipping off the shoulder without tearing upon initial unthreading of the cap. This rigidified structure also facilitates application of the tamper-indicating ring during initial threading of the cap onto the threaded neck at which time the ring is stretched over the shoulder by a capper bead which engages force-transmitting posts integral with the ring for forcing the ring over the locking shoulder, the band being stretched between the posts and extending beneath the shoulder as chordal segments.
