  • Patent number: 9061796
    Abstract: A container for condiments includes a container portion having generally planar bottom, a generally parallel flange, a discharge spout, and a sidewall extending between the bottom and the flange. A generally planar cover portion is secured to the flange by an adhesive such that there exists a non-bonded region between the cover and the flange. At least one section of the flange in the non-bonded region is bent downwardly away from the cover portion to form therebetween a finger-access gap. The sidewall includes a front portion disposed below the spout and extending downwardly with respect thereto. The sidewall front portion is configured to prevent the spout from becoming displaced upwardly in response to the sidewall front portion being contacted by the rear portion of another container in a package of the containers.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6835306
    Abstract: A fluid filtration assembly (10) operable to provide both return-side and supply-side filtration, as, for example, of a fluid entering and leaving a sump (14) as it circulates in a vehicle transmission (12). The fluid filtration assembly (10) broadly comprises a return-side filter (18) and a supply-side filter (20). The return-side filter (18) includes a filter media (33) operable to filter relatively small particles. Fluid flow through the return-side filter (18) may be accomplished using any of three described alternative embodiments, including upflow, downflow, and direct feed. The supply-side filter (20) includes a filter media (42) for filtering needed fluid as it is drawn back into circulation. The supply-side filter media (42) is a low restriction filter media operable to filter only relatively large particles, thereby decreasing bottle-neck effects and minimizing pressure drops.

  • Patent number: 6548468
    Abstract: An aqueous based cleaner containing at least inorganic alkalinizing agents and surfactants is capable of removing long dried paint and thick carbonaceous deposits from used aircraft engines, sometimes without using organic solvents at all and always without using more than a few % of such solvent, thereby greatly reducing pollution potential from this difficult cleaning operation. A preferred cleaner also includes a hydrotroping agent, and the cleaner may also contain corrosion inhibitor, sequestering agent for hard water cations, and other materials.
