Abstract: A fuel container operating under overpressure and consisting of two shells is to be reinforced by means of an inner column so that, when the two shells are conjoined, a tension resistant connection is created. For this purpose, the column consists of a first and a second part connected to the respective shell, one part having catches, the other part having latching hooks, which catches and latching hooks for a tension resistant snap-in connection when joined together. For this purpose, both parts have latching surfaces and deflecting surfaces and the latching hook is resiliently displaceable.

Abstract: [Object] To protect a large-sized article or a large number of articles from impacts and vibrations applied thereto during transportation. [Solution Means] An article packaging unit includes a combination of an outer box 1 and a packaging mat 2. The outer box 1 is an openable and closable container for storing articles, and has a cushion 4 for supporting an article P inside. The packaging mat 2 is formed by filling cushioning bodies in an airtight bag, and attached to an inner lid 3 attached to the outer box 1. When the inside of the packaging mat 2 is deaerated, the cushioning bodies increase the filling density, solidify the packaging mat 2, and come into close contact with the surface of an article P stored in the outer box 1 and hold the article P at a fixed position.

Abstract: A presentation device for a bicycle handlebar grip (12a) comprises an plane base element (14) and an elongate elastic holding element (16a). The holding element (16a) is provided for holding the grip (12a) on the base element (14). Thus, a first portion (16a?) of the holding element (16a) emerges from a first opening (18) on the first end of the grip (12a) and a second portion (16?) of the holding element (16a) emerges from a second opening (20) on the second end of the grip (12a). Further, a connection means (22a) is provided for mechanically connecting the first and second portions (16a?,16a?) of the holding element (16a), to the base element (14). This allows the grip (12a) to be pulled away from the base element (14) against the tensile force of the holding element (16a), so a person can full fully grip around the bicycle handlebar grip (12a).

Abstract: A waterproof, shockproof container for a handheld electronic device is provided with a rectangular base including a top loop flange disposed along and spaced from edges, a loop gap between the flange and the edges of the base, four bottom L-shaped depressions at four corners of the base respectively, and threaded holes spaced along the gap wherein four of the threaded holes are through the depressions respectively; a rectangular waterproof loop member fitted in the loop gap and including bossed holes spaced along edges, and four L-shaped collision resistant members at four corners of the waterproof loop member respectively; a rectangular, hollow frame including a loop flange disposed along edges, and bossed threaded holes spaced along an inner surface of the flange; and a rectangular, hollow bumper member. The base, the frame, and the bumper member are releasably secured together.

Abstract: A packing for bicycle pedals (12a,12b) comprises a pedestal (14) for placing the first pedal (12a) thereon. The shape of the pedestal (14) is adapted to the outer contours of the first pedal (12a). The packing further comprises a fixing means (16) for fixing the first pedal (12a) on the pedestal (14), and a receiving cavity (18) for the second pedal (12b).

Abstract: A packaging item for packaging a toy and an ultraviolet light accessory is described. The packaging item includes a transparent packaging shell and a toy positioning packaging. The transparent packaging shell has an opening therethrough to allow for access by a user. The toy positioning packaging is positioned within the transparent packaging shell. The toy positioning packaging includes a toy packing portion and an ultraviolet light accessory portion. The toy packing portion is formed to hold both the toy and ultraviolet light accessory such that upon activation, ultraviolet light is directed from the ultraviolet light accessory onto a portion of a toy that includes a reveal pigment. Upon exposure to the reveal pigment, the reveal pigment becomes visible to reveal a unique feature of the toy. The toy is, for example, a figurine.

Abstract: A pull-tab sealing member includes a bottom laminate sheet, a top laminate sheet, and a tube portion. The bottom laminate sheet includes a support layer having a bottom surface facing the container and a top surface on the opposite side thereof, a lower polymer layer disposed on the bottom surface of the support layer, and an adhesive coating formed on a bottom surface of the lower polymer layer for securing the bottom laminate sheet to the container. The top laminate sheet includes a polymer support having a bottom surface and a top surface and an adhesive layer disposed on the bottom surface of the polymer support layer. The tube portion includes a polymer tubed layer secured to a portion of the top surface of the support layer of the bottom laminate sheet and a tubed tab portion formed integrally with the polymer tubed layer and secured to a portion of the adhesive layer of the top laminate sheet.

Abstract: A tray for holding canning jars comprising a plurality of wells arranged in a first row, second row and third row, each well comprising a bottom surface with ridges. The ridges in the first and third rows comprise an inner circle, two first opposing crescents, and two second opposing crescents. The ridges in the second row comprise a first semicircle and a second semicircle. The two first opposing crescents are situated opposite one another, and the two second opposing crescents are situated opposite one another on the bottom of the well and at a ninety-degree angle relative to the first opposing crescents. The first semicircle is situated opposite the second semicircle and is closer to the center of the bottom surface of the well than the second semicircle.
