Patent number: 11787603Abstract: Novel lockable safety closures and containers comprising the closures are described herein. The containers and closures are useful for dispensing valuable, dangerous, or potentially dangerous goods, and are easy for adults (including the elderly or frail) to open, but difficult for children to open. The closures include a displaceable slider covering a main opening for accessing the interior of a container. The slide includes one or more depressible tabs that keep to slider in a closed, and which can be opening by depressing the tab (or tabs) and urging the slider to an open position.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: RB INNOVATIONS, LLCInventors: Zachary (Rocky) Batzel, Daniel A.

Patent number: 10577152Abstract: Novel lockable safe containers for dispensing valuable, dangerous and potentially dangerous goods via a main opening that is easy for adults (including the elderly or frail) to open, but difficult for children to open, using a finger pressure on a sliding closure with a deflectable extension operable by finger pressure to enable. The novel safe containers have many additional advantages including human factors, ergonomics, manufacturing, supply chain and distribution, warehousing, retail, tamper resistance advantages, and labeling. The slidable closure exits the main opening zone via an auxiliary opening but wholly without exiting the container in normal usage.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2018Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: RB INNOVATIONS, LLCInventors: Zachary (Rocky) Batzel, Daniel A.

Patent number: 5681920Abstract: Polysuccinimide is produced by thermal polymerization of a precursor or a reactant admixture that includes an unsaturated compound in a plate-type reactor at temperatures sufficient to initiate polymerization and to form a brittle solid. The so-obtained polysuccinimide can be hydrolyzed to polyaspartic acidor to a polyaspartic acid salt, if desired. The precursor can be a monomer or a mixture of reactants that form polymerizable intermediates.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 1994Date of Patent: October 28, 1997Assignee: Donlar CorporationInventors: Barney Vallino, Daniel A.

Patent number: 5658460Abstract: To prevent the deterioration of the flux and salt rejection characteristics of polyamide, thin-film, composite reverse osmosis membranes when subjected to relatively high temperature drying conditions, an unsubstituted inorganic ammonium cation salt of an acid is incorporated into the process of manufacture. The ammonium salt can be introduced into the process either before or after the membrane is formed by interfacial polymerization so long as it is added before the membrane is heated.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 1996Date of Patent: August 19, 1997Assignee: The Dow Chemical CompanyInventors: John E. Cadotte, Daniel A. Batzel, Thomas F. Stocker

Patent number: RE36234Abstract: Aspartic acid precursors such as mono and diammonium maleate, maleamic acid, ammonium maleamate, ammonium malate and mixtures of these and other precursors are copolycondensed thermally with a variety of mono, di and multifunctional monomers containing amino, hydroxyl and carboxyl functional groups. The resulting condensation copolymers and terpolymers contain succinimide units derived from aspartic acid precursors, condensed with other functional group monomers usually .?.though.!. .Iadd.through .Iaddend.amide and ester linkages. Hydrolysis of the polysuccinimide copolymers and terpolymers with alkali, alkaline earth and ammonium hydroxide produces aspartic acid copolymer and terpolymer salts.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1997Date of Patent: June 22, 1999Assignee: Donlar CorporationInventors: Larry P.
