Abstract: A lid for a container is disclosed that has a series of seals. The first seal is a cork seal mechanism that is forced against the container interior at a top portion of the container. The second seal is created by at least two ribs that produce a spring-like force against the container. An additional stretch fit seal can be incorporated into the lid. A tear strip can also be incorporated into the lid with windows immediately above the tear strip, thereby forming slits in the skirt to aid in removal of the lid.

Abstract: A container, customized to defined specifications, and a method of creating the container are disclosed. Container specifications are provided and evaluated against attributes of various plastic materials, such as polypropylene and polyethylene. A core material and one or more skin materials and thicknesses of each are chosen such that the combination of materials and thicknesses provides the defined specifications. The one or more skin materials are injected into a container mold one at a time. The core material is then injected into the container mold so that the core material is substantially surrounded by the one or more skin materials.

Abstract: A water heater including a water container; a combustion chamber containing a main burner and a pilot burner positioned to heat water in the water container and having a side wall; a main burner fuel supply line adapted to connect between a fuel control valve and a main burner; a pilot fuel supply line adapted to connect between the fuel control valve and a pilot burner; a heat sensor line connected to a heat sensor and adapted to connect to the fuel control valve and positioned to sense heat from the pilot burner; an igniter line connected to an igniter positioned proximate the pilot burner and connected to an igniter initiator; and a removable plate sealed to the combustion chamber through which the main burner fuel supply line, the pilot fuel supply line, the heat sensor line and the igniter line pass in a sealed condition.
