Abstract: A plastic container including a portion of a sidewall having an interior surface with an interior crystallinity, and an exterior surface with an exterior crystallinity. The interior crystallinity is greater than the exterior crystallinity. The higher crystallinity on the interior surface provides increased resistance to flavor scalping along the surface contacting the commodity, thereby minimizing flavor scalping of the commodities inside the plastic container.

Abstract: A footwear system having an essentially oblong platform formed of an elastomeric material having a first aperture offset from a long axis of the platform adjacent to a forward end. A U-shaped cut through a rearward end of the platform forms a first strap disposed toward the forward end with a second aperture through a midpoint of the first strap and aligned with the first aperture. A fastening member passes through the first and second apertures coupling the first strap and the platform and thereby forming two separate passageways. A second strap formed of an elastic material has a first attachment element coupling a forward end of the second strap and the platform adjacent to the fastening member. A second attachment element couples a rearward end of the second strap and the platform adjacent to a lateral edge of the platform.

An array of blister dispensers is preferred.

Abstract: A liner having an envelope made in a single piece and provided with an opening for the introduction of the foot. The opening is a slit made on one side of the envelope demarcated by a pair of overlapping flaps which are subject to an adjustment device with a lace including a plurality of keepers each attached on the envelope. A tightening strap attached on the side of the envelope opposite the side where the slit freely surrounds the part back of the envelope and is then connected by its free end to the lace of the adjustment device to cooperate therewith.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cardboard pallet-like container which also acts as an exhibitor. The container is obtained from a single sheet of die-cut and folded cardboard by means of which the entire structure is obtained. The container is a parallelepiped which is cut, on each lateral face, along a diagonal so as to obtain a base semi-container provided with legs and a top semi-container which can be fitted over the base semi-container.

Abstract: A tool holder for elongate tools, in particular drill bits, having a front wall part, having a receiving device for the tools and having a rear wall part, the two wall parts being movable relative to one another in order to release a filling and removal opening, wherein the two wall parts are arranged and/or designed in such a manner that, in the closed state of the tool holder, there is a distance (A) between the two wall parts.

Abstract: A device for guiding a flap of a closure and, more particularly, a flap of a closure of an article of footwear. More particularly, the invention is directed to an article of footwear in the form of a sports boot equipped with at least two semi-rigid upper elements, i.e., flaps, which overlap during the closing or adjustment of the footwear, thus defining an upper flap and a lower flap, the footwear also being equipped with a tightening mechanism. The tightening mechanism, according to the invention, includes a structural arrangement for ensuring the guiding of the lower flap beneath the upper flap, the guiding arrangement prohibiting the engagement of the lower flap over the upper flap.

Abstract: An easy-opening insulation package for containing a stack of resilient insulation batts, such as but not limited to glass fiber insulation batts, is formed from a sheet material. The sheet material completely encircles the batts and has a stress riser that extends longitudinally with respect to the batts for the length of the batts. Preferably, the sheet material has at least one tear line, such as a perforated line, extending generally perpendicular to and crossing the stress riser for creating an opening in the package through the rupture of the sheet material by hand along the perforated line and for permitting the stress riser to be separated by hand from the opening created along the perforated line to gain access to the batts within the package. Preferably, the ends of the package are closed and the perforated line completely encircles the package to permit the package to be separated into two sections by rupturing the perforated line along its entire length.
