Abstract: Purse apparatus has an insert with rigid side walls hinged to a bottom wall, and with flexible end walls joining the sidewalls. Portions of the side walls project up above the end walls for fitting under inverted pockets in upper inside edges of flexible bags. A flap connected to one upper side edge of the bag draws the upper side edges of the bag and insert together and fastens on the opposite side of the bag. A false flap continues from the flap downward over the first side of the bag to foil would-be pickpockets. A chain extends from the wrist of a wearer to an anchor in the insert. Sharply pulling on the chain activates an alarm.

Abstract: A container end panel having a non-detachable flap portion partially severable from the panel to provide an opening. The flap portion is recessed below the remainder of the panel and is broken away by a fitment which fits into the recess. The fitment is adapted to be pushed inwardly and after rupturing the score between the panel and the flap functions to swing the flap inwardly about a hinge formed by the unscored metal connecting the flap to the panel. The fitment is pressed into the opening and snaps within the opening and provides a guard shielding the users finger from the raw edges at the tear edge about the opening. The invention is also directed to a formation of the inner edge of the ring to facilitate rupturing the score and thereafter swinging the panel inwardly.

Abstract: A plurality of recesses are formed in the bottom of a suitcase in spaced relation with each other. A plurality of mounting devices are provided, each movably mounted in a corresponding one of the recesses. Each of a plurality of wheels is rotatably mounted on a corresponding one of the mounting devices. A control system in the suitcase selectively controls the movement of the mounting devices in the recesses in a manner whereby the wheels are spaced from the bottom of the suitcase for supporting the suitcase in one position and are retracted into the recesses in another position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a basket for handling delicate machine parts, such as gears in machine shops, which comprises a conventional outer body and an internal block forming a rack for separation and support of the parts. The internal block is made up of a stack of separator elements and support elements of molded plastic strung on threaded metal rods which pass through supporting bosses of the elements. The rods are clamped in position against one another by means of self-locking nuts.

Abstract: A cap for a molded plastic container has a cover section and a seating section which are provided with a tear strip for obtaining drinking or pouring access to the contents of the container without removal of the cap. The cover section has a centrally raised portion and a portion which slopes downwardly and radially outward from the centrally raised portion and terminates in a circumferentially extending seating portion. The latter includes an outer, downwardly extending skirt which embraces the upper end of the container. Two parallel slots extend part way up from the edge of the skirt and terminate in a groove which extends to the edge of the cover section and then follows the surface of the cover section in a generally radial direction to form a tear strip having a continuous, wedge-shaped configuration. The two parallel slots form a tab for grasping the tear strip with the fingers.

Abstract: A container closure assembly for a container comprising an outer cap of generally cup-like form having a top and a skirt depending from the outer peripheral edge of the top and means for detachably securing the same over the opening in a container, an annular pocket formed in the skirt of the outer cap adjacent said top and a liner assembly consisting of at least a disc-like core of a resilient material, a shell for the core having a portion confronting the inside of the top of the outer cap and a locking portion to hold the core in said shell, said shell being of a predetermined dimension to permit limited axial movement in the pocket in the outer cap and anti-friction means between the shell and outer cap to permit relative rotation between the outer cap and the liner assembly.
