Abstract: A novel ice cream product container with complementary closure member is disclosed. The container body member is usually of paperboard and formed from an integral blank comprising edge-reinforcing flaps articulated to wall members, which reinforcing flaps are then folded down upon and secured to their respective wall members to provide a reinforced portion of double thickness in the container formed from the blank. This folded-over, reinforced portion is also present in the flat-folded tube produced from the blank, the squared-up tube, the erected container, and finally in the closed and filled package. This folded-over, reinforced portion of double thickness contains defined areas of low resistance adapted to receive lugs formed in a wall of the complementary closure member. The closure member also provides a complementary channel between essentially upstanding and downstanding walls for receiving the reinforced portion of the container walls in frictional engagement therewith.

Abstract: A percolator having a cylindrical basket concentric with a wand is provided with a filter paper cup having an annular bottom coextensive with the bottom of the basket and having upstanding fluted sides. The filter cups are formed by cutting and forming them into a nest of cups having an imperforate bottom, transferring the nest of cups to a frusto-conical die having a circular top commensurate with the circular bottom of the filter cups, a central die-hole, and outwardly and downwardly flaring sides corresponding to the natural outward flare of the nested cups, and punching an axial hole in said nested cups while on said die by means of a punch complementary with said die-hole.

Abstract: The bracket is of a U-shaped structure with an adjustably positioned plate for removably receiving a joist. The plate is held on a bolt which is threadedly received in another plate being held in the U-structure, and an L-shaped element is secured to the structure for depending the bracket from a beam.

Abstract: A carton having structure for locking the cover thereof in place after the seal has been broken, carton blanks for the production thereof, and an end closure for such a carton are disclosed. The lock structure comprises two elements, the first a centrally-located lock flap articulated along its one edge to the upper edge of the carton front face panel and separated by a cut from the second lock flap, which is secured on the inner surface of the cover front panel, said second lock flap comprising two surrounding webs which are, in the carton blank and in the originally sealed carton, attached along lines of severance to the upper edge of the carton front face panel and which become detached along said severance lines during opening of the originally sealed carton.

Abstract: A flared tube sitting on a base is embedded in a concrete slab, and a casement on a shackle can be inserted into the tube to make up the coupling. The casement holds a plunger which can be locked into a position in which its head urges balls out of the casement for engagement with the flare tube. The plunger lock includes a fork locking the casement to the plunger at the other end. The plunger head has a conical tip so that upon retraction the balls can be retracted to release the coupling or to insert the casement to make up the coupling. The flared tube is clamped down onto the base which in turn is constructed for fastening to re-bar structure in the concrete.

Abstract: An animal litter is prepared by de-watering rejects of a secondary fiber plant, incorporating a deodorant therein, for example, sodium bicarbonate, pelletizing, and drying. The rejects on a dry basis consist essentially of about 50 percent to about 90 percent cellulose and from about 10 percent to about 50 percent fiber making mineral filler, usually kaolin, and sodium bicarbonate is incorporated therein in the amount of between about 1 percent to about 10 percent on the dry basis. Paper broke may also be incorporated.

Abstract: A cold rolled lag stud has one end fastened to a wall or other support structure, while carrying a stud head capture head on its other end. The capture head has been bent from a rectangular blank and has a base, an upright front wall, a rearwardly and downwardly slanting top, and an end portion extending parallel to the base. Weld-assisting protrusions on the base and the end portion hold the lag stud and are welded thereto. The top of the head and the front wall have a slot for insertion of the head and shank end of the stud to be captured.

Abstract: A joist hanger has a shroud with a rear wall and side walls with aligned openings for receiving the legs of a U-shaped pin. A jack screw, straddled by the legs, or a simple support plate rests on the pin to support a joist end. An L angle piece is welded or hinged to the rear wall. The level of the joist can be changed by the jack screw, and/or by turning a threaded hinge bolt, permitting the shroud to ride up or down on the bolt.

Abstract: A percolator having a cylindrical basket concentric with a wand is provided with a filter paper cup having an annular bottom coextensive with the bottom of the basket and having upstanding fluted sides. The filter cups are formed by cutting and forming them into a nest of cups having an imperforate bottom, transferring the nest of cups to a frusto-conical die having a circular top commensurate with the circular bottom of the filter cups, a central die-hole, and outwardly and downwardly flaring sides corresponding to the natural outward flare of the nested cups, and punching an axial hole in said nested cups while on said die by means of a punch complementary with said die-hole.

Abstract: A percolator having a cylindrical basket concentric with a wand is provided with a filter paper cup having an annular bottom coextensive with the bottom of the basket and having upstanding fluted sides, characterized in that the flutes are steam and heat set. The filter cups are formed by cutting and forming them into a nest of cups having an imporforate bottom, heating the nested cups, exposing them to moist steam, heating to dry the steamed cups, and cooling them to ambient temperature, transferring the nest of cups to a frusto-conical die having a circular top commensurate with the circular bottom of the filter cups, a central die-hole, and outwardly and downwardly flaring sides corresponding to the natural outward flare of the nested cups, and punching an axial hole in said nested cups while on said die by means of a punch complementary with said die-hole.

Abstract: The invention relates to filter cups adapted for use in Melitta style coffee makers made of a unitary sheet of filter paper having integral fluted sides flaring outwardly from a stationary bottom and to a method and apparatus for making the same. The apparatus comprises complementary die members adapted to cut and flute the filter discs having central apertures, one of which is affixed to a heating and drying tube having the same diameter as the aperture. A plunger having a stretching head is passed through the other aperture to push the cut and formed filter discs into the heating and drying tube and at the same time to stretch the central portion to form a dish-shaped bottom having integral fluted sides flaring outwardly therefrom.
