Abstract: A device capable of storing beverages is provided with a base and a lid. The base includes a central cavity capable of retaining beverage containers and a cooling component. The bottoms of beverage containers may rest in container-retaining pockets molded into the bottom of the base and the tops of beverage containers may rest in one or more pockets protruding from the lid. One advantage is that the beverage containers may come into direct contact with the cooling component located in the central cavity of the base of the device.

Abstract: A storage means provides sealed storage for contents. A closure means is fused to a container by application of an electro-magnetic field providing a permanent and hermetic seal between the closure and the container. The closure further includes a removable panel to provide access to the contents of the container.

Abstract: The method involves making a hollow blow molded thermoplastic article having an integral handle. An unblown preform of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is inserted into a blow mold and thereafter stretched by a stretch rod. Blow gas is then injected into the interior of the preform when the blow mold is closed and the preform is at a stretch temperature. After the preform is blown into the shape of the bottle in the mold, blow gas is discharged from the stretch rod onto an interior wall surface where the handle is to be formed. Heated movable mold segments are then advanced within the blow mold from a first retracted position to a second position thereby compressing an interior wall surface of the article into contact with a facing interior wall surface of the bottle to bond the surfaces at an elevated temperature and form an integral handle extending from the exterior wall of the blow molded article.

Abstract: An apparatus for making a hollow polyethylene terephthalate (PET) blow molded article with an integral external projection such as handle. The method includes blow molding the hollow article and then injection molding the integral projection. The apparatus includes a combination blow mold and injection mold, a mechanism for opening and closing the combination mold, a mechanism for inserting an unblown preform into the mold, a blow gas injection mechanism for blowing the preform, and an injection nozzle for injection molding the integral projection.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for making a hollow blow molded article with an integral external projection such as a handle thereon. The method includes blow molding the hollow article and then injection molding the integral projection thereon. The apparatus includes a combination mold having separate and independent blow mold and injection mold cavities which communicate at an interface therebetween. In a preferred embodiment, the blow molded article with integral handle is polyethlene terephthalate (PET).

Abstract: A sleeve for use in the treatment of textile threads and yarns including dyeing having a shell wherein the shell comprises peripherally extending spaced apart rings which are elastically yielding in the axial direction of the shell and spaced-apart webs which are elastically yielding in the axial direction of the shell, connecting the rings, the axially consecutive webs being laterally offset relative to each other whereby when the rings and webs are yielding, the rings become serpentine and the webs become bowed, at least selected ones of the webs being adapted to bow in a selected common direction generally circumferential with respect to the sleeve to ensure substantially uniform displacement of the sleeve members, thus to provide a sleeve having minimum restriction for passage of dye and which sleeve is substantially rigid in yielded or non-yielded state.

Abstract: A mandril for mounting a cone used for winding thread or the like comprising in combination, a first cone-like member having a substantially conical outer surface, the member adapted to receive a shaft therein for use in mounting the mandril, the conical outer surface having abutment means thereon selectively extendable outwardly therefrom to thereby provide selectively, a protuberance on the conical outer surface and a second member, adapted to enter within the first member, means on the second member adapted to engage means on the first member when the first and second members are assembled together, to ensure locking and driving engagement therebetween, the second member also having means thereon cooperatively engageable with the abutment means and arranged such that, in a first position relative to the first member, the abutment means will not be extended by the means but in a second position relative to the first member, the abutment means will be extended by the means, outwardly of the surface to thereb
