Publication number: 20140138180Abstract: A musical performance riser having an interior area and a rigid block made from multiple layers of foam material of varying densities incorporated within that area. The block further includes a number of holes or chambers to trap sound. When the riser is used in performances, sound waves created by the object placed on the riser are reduced or dissipated as they travel down the block through the foam layers and chambers with the result being reduced acoustic interference and a better listening experience for the audience. The riser also includes specialized removable casters supported against rubber isolation feet that further serve to reduce the unwanted interference.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2013Publication date: May 22, 2014Applicant: Rain/Moore Company, LLCInventors: Thomas Moore, Charles Nelson, Gary Messisco

Patent number: 6982105Abstract: A container assembly includes a container body formed of a thermoplastic material having an inner surface, an outer surface, and at least one corner having a reinforcement molded to the outer surface of the corner. The reinforcement has a peripheral edge, which is partially embedded in the outer surface of the container body. A method of making a container assembly comprises the step of molding a container body over a portion of a reinforcement. A reinforcement having a peripheral edge is disposed in a mold. A fluid thermoplastic material is disposed into the mold. The thermoplastic material is then molded over the inner surface of the mold and the peripheral edge of the reinforcement thereby forming the container body. The thermoplastic material contacts the peripheral edge and melts or softens the edge. A peripheral edge is then brought into engagement with the container body to provide a secure seal between the reinforcement and the container body.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2001Date of Patent: January 3, 2006Assignee: The Moore CompanyInventor: Ovie Clarence Huse
