Patent number: 10273051Abstract: A container and handle system includes a container including a flange and a top load strength in a range of less than 25 lbf. A handle includes at least one radially oriented tab movable to define a first diameter being greater than a diameter of the flange and configured to facilitate translation over the flange. The at least one tab is biased to a second diameter that is less than the flange diameter such that the at least one tab engages the flange to fix the handle with the container. Packaging products, containers, handles, tooling, applicators and methods are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2016Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: RING CONTAINER TECHNOLOGIESInventors: Carl D.

Patent number: 6705800Abstract: A drainage system for delivering fluid from a source of fluid for absorption into the ground, comprises a trench, a pair of perforated drainage conduits extending longitudinally in said trench and laterally spaced from each other to define an open chamber therebetween. The conduits are connected at one end to the source for receiving fluid from the source and delivering fluid to the chamber. A longitudinally extending cover overlies said conduits and prevents soil from falling into the chamber. The cover includes side portions which engage the conduits and a center portion connected to the side portions and maintains the conduits in laterally spaced relationship. The cover also includes reinforcing arches extending between the side portions and the center portion to resist downward deflection of the cover under the weight of the top soil. Vent holes in the cover permit the system to breathe.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2002Date of Patent: March 16, 2004Assignee: Ring Industrial Group, LPInventors: Carl D. Ring, Douglas M. Dygert, Thomas K. Weaver

Patent number: 6045036Abstract: A composite package including a thin-walled plastic bottle mounted within an outer paperboard box. The plastic bottle has a pouring spout adjacent its front wall and an L-shaped hollow handle including a horizontal leg extending rearwardly to a downwardly extending vertical leg which communicates with the chamber within the bottle. The top flap assembly of the box has an access means which permits the horizontal leg to be gripped while the package is being handled and transported. The rear wall of the box has an access means which permits the vertical leg of the handle to be gripped while liquid is being poured from the bottle.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 1999Date of Patent: April 4, 2000Assignee: Ring Can CorporationInventor: Carl D. Ring

Patent number: 5642833Abstract: A composite package for scoopable products comprising an outer rectangular paperboard box having vertical front, rear, and side walls and an upper foldable flap assembly connected to said vertical walls. An inner thin-walled plastic jar has a lower generally rectangular portion fitting within said box and an upper portion of slightly reduced cross-sectional size provided with a large open mouth. The lid is removably connected over said mouth and is normally covered by the flap assembly. The upper portion has wall sections spaced inwardly from opposed walls of the box to provide finger receiving spaces therebetween, and the opposed walls have finger receiving openings adjacent said spaces to facilitate handling of said box.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 1996Date of Patent: July 1, 1997Assignee: Ring Can CorporationInventor: Carl D.
