  • Publication number: 20170107031
    Abstract: A container includes a casing having an opening and a first abutting edge surrounding the opening. A cover is selectively mounted onto the casing for closing the opening, wherein the cover has a second abutting edge laterally extending therefrom and abutting against the first abutting edge when the cover closes the opening. A puller extends from the second abutting edge of the cover. A snapping device is formed between the casing and the puller. The snapping device includes a plug formed on the puller and a socket defined in the casing for temporarily receiving the plug and holding the plug in place. A weakened portion is formed on at least one place of the puller such that the puller is irreversibly curved after being lifted due to the weakened portion and the curved puller is used as a basis for easily identifying whether the container is illegally operated or not.

  • Publication number: 20160347515
    Abstract: A container includes a containing structure defining an opening and an annular lip radially extending from a distal edge of the opening. A cover is selectively and water-tightly closing the opening. The cover includes a annular rib formed on a bottom thereof and a flange radially extending therefrom wherein the flange abuts against the annular lip when the cover water-tightly closing the opening. A tongue extends from the flange and a pre-broken line is formed on the tongue, wherein the pre-broken line encircles a pre-broken portion and a stopper is formed on a bottom of the pre-broken portion. The tongue forms a griphook for user to easily detach the cover from the containing structure when the pre-broken portion is detached from the tongue along the pre-broken line.

  • Publication number: 20140319137
    Abstract: A container with pre-guided alignment function has a container body, a cover, an engaging portion and a plurality of locking parts in the type of pre-guided alignment. The engaging parts are configured on the relative positions on the flaring rim of the container main body and the periphery of the cover in a male/female matching relationship. Said engaging parts include two locking parts and at least one long-type guided alignment part, wherein the locking parts can align to and be engaged with each other, so that the periphery of the cover can cover the flaring rim of the container body tightly. The container is set by the long guided alignment part of edge part of locking parts. The edge of the locking parts will use the long guided alignment part as alignment point.

  • Publication number: 20140312046
    Abstract: A container structure with opening identification functions has a container body, limit ring flange, cover body, engaging flange and a concealed prebreaking portion. The prebreaking portion must be set onto the container body but also located at a preset position inside the limit ring flange. When the cover body is covered onto the container body, the outer edge of the cover body is extended to conceal the prebreaking portion. Because the prebreaking portion is concealed by the cover body, when the consumers intend to take or carry the container body, or open or close the cover body, it is possible to avoid discomfort or accidental injury arising from contact with the broken position of the prebreaking portion. Further, ill-disposed individuals cannot easily open the cover body and insert foreign or harmful substances, thus ensuring the quality and safety of products in the container body.

  • Publication number: 20140197190
    Abstract: An anti-tamper container for preventing incorrect opening includes a box body, an abutting flanged portion, a cover and at least one opening preventing device. When a force is applied to the cover to rotarily open it upwards, the front inclined surface of the tilting extension sheet presses the pre-dislocated rib to disengage it from the box body so as to prevent reconnection. Thus, the consumers could easily recognize if the cover has been incorrectly opened so as to ensure the quality and safety of the products while avoiding consumption disputes, and safeguarding the rights of consumers and reputation of industry operators with improved applicability. Because a strengthened opening preventing portion is set on the tilting extension sheet, the tilting extension sheet could be prevented from penetrating upwards without breaking the pre-dislocated rib.

  • Publication number: 20130262490
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a system, method and program product for performing code conversions. In one embodiment the method includes determining size of encoding space for a source file and a target file upon receipt of a code conversion request and generating a main conversion file upon determination that a target encoding space associated with said target file is smaller than a source encoding space associated with the source file. Subsequently an extension converted file is generated from the source file according to a pre-established mapping table of code conversion stored in a memory. The code conversion request is completed by using the main conversion file and said extension file together so that the source file does not need to be truncated in order to fit into the target conversion space.

  • Publication number: 20120199641
    Abstract: A heat-insulating paper cup allows the glued external wall of the heat-insulating tube to be formed with a smooth surface, and the raised lines on the inner wall of the heat-insulating tube are mated closely with the conical cylindrical wall of the cup body. This can facilitate advertisement printing and fabrication on the surface of heat-insulating paper cup. Moreover, the raised lines on the inner wall of the heat-insulating tube can support the ribs, thus enhancing the structural strength and robustness of the heat-insulating tube and avoiding squashing during manual holding.

  • Publication number: 20110174872
    Abstract: A heat-insulating paper cup has a cup body with a conical cylindrical wall, a cup bottom and a cup rim. A glued heat-insulating tube has its inner wall sleeved onto the exterior of the conical cylindrical wall of the cup body. The heat-insulating tube and the conical cylindrical wall of the cup body are adhered securely by glue. The heat-insulating tube is of conical cylindrical shape and mated with the conical cylindrical wall. Moreover, the external wall of the heat-insulating tube is configured to have a smooth surface. Multiple raised lines are protruded at interval onto the inner wall of the heat-insulating tube, and mated with the conical cylindrical wall of the cup body. Multiple hollow ducts are set into the heat-insulating tube at interval in tune with the raised lines.
