Abstract: There is a dual-dispensing tube container. The container has an inner tube, an outer tube and a reclosable sealing member. The inner tube has an inner sleeve and an inner head. The inner sleeve defines an inner chamber therein adapted to retain a first component composition. The inner head defines an inner neck. The inner neck is in communication with the inner chamber. The outer tube has an outer sleeve and an outer head. The outer sleeve defines an outer chamber therein adapted to retain a second component composition. The outer head defines an outer neck. The outer neck is in communication with the outer chamber. The inner tube is situated and locked within the outer tube. The inner neck is situated at least partially within the outer neck. The tube container is adapted to simultaneously dispense the first and second component compositions upon squeezing of the tube container.

Abstract: There is a tube container that is resistant to water infiltration into the cavity between the head and the cap. The tube container has a body wall and a head. The body wall defines a chamber therein. The head has a shoulder, which has an orifice therethrough in communication with the chamber. The shoulder has a ridge extending therefrom adjacent its periphery. The ridge substantially blocks the infiltration of water when the cap is secured to the head.

Abstract: A tubular dispensing container has a head whose shoulder is joined to a tubular body. The head and shoulder can be thin because they are provided with a plurality of ribs that extend axially from the neck to the lower end of the shoulder and rigidify the head. A head for a tubular dispensing container is provided having the above-mentioned ribs. Apparatus for forming the head has male or female tooling with axially grooves formed therein to form the ribs on the inside or outside surface of the head. Methods involve flowing moldable material along the grooves to provide the lower end of the shoulder of the head with enough moldable material at elevated temperature and pressure to form a good bond of the shoulder with the tubular body.

Abstract: There is a plastic dispensing tube having shaped corners. The dispensing tube has a tubular plastic sleeve and a plastic head affixed to one end of the sleeve. The sleeve has an interior surface. The head defines a neck having a passageway therethrough and a shoulder defining one or more corners therein. The head further defines one or more ribs extending from the one or more corners into the sleeve. The one or more ribs is affixed to the interior surface of the sleeve. There is also a process for making the plastic dispensing tube.

Abstract: Disclosed is a container for receiving contents from another container. The container has a receptacle and a head. The receptacle has a chamber therein. The head has a neck. The neck has a receiving orifice therein and a bore therethrough. The receiving orifice communicates with the chamber through the bore. The neck further has an inner surface contiguous to the receiving orifice and/or the bore. The inner surface has a plurality of splines extending therefrom and generally directional to the longitudinal extension of the neck. Further disclosed is a tube container. Still further disclosed is a method for introducing the contents of one container into another container.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising, in combination, an AC motor, a solid state switch controlling the AC motor, the solid state switch switchable between an on state in which an electric current flows through the solid state switch and an off state in which electric current does not flow through the solid state switch, the solid state switch characterized by a turn off time such that, when the solid state switch is switched between the on state and the off state, at least a portion of the electric current flows through the solid state switch during the turn off time, a first switch circuit for switching off the solid state switch to prevent the electric current from flowing to the AC motor, a diode bridge coupled across the AC motor, a second switch circuit for controllably switching the diode bridge between an active state in which electric current may flow through the diode bridge and an inactive state in which electric current may not flow through the diode bridge, a control circuit for controlling the second switch

Abstract: An improved method for reclaiming waste printing ink is provided that requires no dilution nor blending with virgin ink wherein substantially all entrained water and solvent contamination is removed in a vacuum distillation step. Solid impurities are removed via a subsequent filtration method that leaves the ink's pigment content substantially undiminished.

Abstract: A quarter chord angle gage having a base with several gage points therein to engage the vane near its leading or trailing edge, the base being rotary to bring the points into contact with the vane, and the base carrying a cam to indicate the position of the base when the gage points are all in contact with the vane. Suitable electrical means sense this point contact and record the portion of the cam and thus the quarter chord angle.
