Patent number: 9296517Abstract: An adjustable box top lid is removably attachable to each container of a plurality of separate containers with each container having a rectangular top opening with a length dimension that is different from length dimensions of the top openings of the other containers of the plurality of containers. The adjustable lid includes first and second separate sections that are connected together and are movable relative to each other when connected to adjust a length of the lid. The adjustable length of the lid enables the lid to be removably attachable to each of the containers over the rectangular top opening of each container. One of the lid sections is provided with an opening and a removable cap over the opening that can be removed to allow the dispensing of food products from the container to which the lid is attached.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2014Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: Buddeez, Inc.Inventor: Charles E.

Patent number: 6005487Abstract: An electronic security system includes an electronic lock mechanism and an electronic key, each of which is provided with a microprocessor controller and a memory storing data including an ID code and encryption key codes. The lock microprocessor may either change ID codes stored in its memory or encrypt a seed number to be used for determining access to the lock. The key can only be used to access the lock either once or for a limited number of successive times, and must thereafter be reprogrammed by a host computer to be loaded with either the proper ID code or the appropriate encryption key code for that lock. The electronic lock operates a solenoid which retracts a bolt-blocking mechanism that prevents the unlocking of the bolt even when a key having the correct mechanical key cuts is inserted into the lock. Power for operating the electronic lock as well as the solenoid is provided by a power supply within the key.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1993Date of Patent: December 21, 1999Assignee: Medeco Security Locks, Inc.Inventors: Richard G. Hyatt, Jr., Charles E. Hall, Douglas Trent

Patent number: 5884800Abstract: A lid for a container having a channel around its bottom periphery for closing onto a container body. The lid has an opening partially surrounded by an apron on the lower side of the lid, and a cap fitting over the opening. Bagged solids may be placed into the container. The apron allows bagged solids to be conveniently dispensed by preventing the open end of the bag from interfering with solid poured through the opening.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1996Date of Patent: March 23, 1999Inventor: Charles E. Hall

Patent number: 5223202Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing a bidirectional, corrosion and abrasion resistant gate valve body. In one embodiment, the gate valve body, including flange seals and a liner, are produced in a single molding operation. A mold with appropriate coring either forms or aligns any desired mounting inserts. Coring is also provided to properly form a packing area, gate passage, fluid passages, and flange mounting seals. Once the mounting inserts have been positioned in the mold cavity, the mold sections are secured together, and a filler material, preferably a thermoplastic resin, is injected into the cavity. Upon hardening of the filler material, the inserts are secured into position. Further, the entire body and liner are a single solid unit comprising the packing cavity, the gate slot for sealing flow areas, the flow passages, and the flange rings for sealing connection of the valve to other mating surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 1991Date of Patent: June 29, 1993Inventor: Charles E.

Patent number: 5189789Abstract: A method for sealing the internal peripheral surface of a tube, such as a heat exchanger tube. A plug is provided which includes a plug body and at least one annular wing formed on an outer periphery of the plug body. The plug is chilled to a temperature below a transition temperature of the plug, then the annular wing or wings are bent backward such that the outer diameter is decreased to a diameter which is less than an inner diameter of the tube to be sealed. The chilled plug is then inserted into an open end of the tube, until a back portion of the plug is flush with the open end of the tube. As the ambient temperature heats the plugs, the plug returns to an undeformed state such that the annular wings return to a state of increased diameter, thereby sealing the tube. In order to ensure that the plug returns to this undeformed state, the plug is formed of a material having at least two allotropic states.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1991Date of Patent: March 2, 1993Assignee: Hall United Technologies, Inc., Int'lInventor: Charles E. Hall

Patent number: 5140317Abstract: An electronic security system includes an electronic lock mechanism and an electronic key, each of which is provided with a microprocessor controller and a memory storing data including an ID code. The lock microprocessor changes the ID code stored in its memory upon the operation of the lock by a correct key. The key can only be used to operate the lock once, and thereafter must be reprogrammed by a host computer with the updated ID code for the lock. The electronic lock operates a solenoid which retracts a bolt blocking mechanism which prevents the unlocking of the bolt even when a key having the correct mechanical key cuts is inserted into the lock. Power for operating the electronic lock as well as the solenoid is provided by a power supply within the key.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 1990Date of Patent: August 18, 1992Assignee: Medeco Security Locks, Inc.Inventors: Richard G. Hyatt, Jr., Charles E. Hall
