  • Publication number: 20210403223
    Abstract: In a box system for storing bottles therein that includes a box, at least one longitudinal divider sheet and at least one latitudinal divider sheet. The divider sheets each consist of a non-corrugated absorbent high density wood pulpboard having a thickness in a range of between 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm and a basis weight in a range of between 410 gsm to 1240 gsm. The divider sheets are divided into a plurality of coaster units. Each coaster unit is printed with collateral branding indicia. The coaster units are separated by linear perforations to facilitate separation of the coaster units so that when the coaster units are separated they are usable as drink coasters.

The divider sheets are divided into a plurality of coaster units. Each coaster unit is printed with collateral branding indicia. The coaster units are separated by visually perceptible separation lines, which may be perforated to facilitate separation of the coaster units so that when the coaster units are separated they are usable as drink coasters. The box may also be printed with coaster units.

  • Publication number: 20060049073
    Abstract: A thermoformed container comprises a tray having walls that join a bottom surface and form an opening opposite the bottom surface. The walls are curved where they join the bottom surface. A tray flange surrounds the opening and extends outwardly from the walls. A lid has a recessed panel surrounded by peripheral sides, wherein the lid and the tray are configured to lock together. A lid flange surrounds the peripheral sides and extends outwardly therefrom. Marks on the bottom surface are configured to indicate increments of the bottom surface.

  • Publication number: 20050170053
    Abstract: Packaged food portions, such as food slices, consisting of two or more food items, such as peanut butter and jelly, and processes for making them. The food portion is provided with sufficient viscosity and textural properties to enable its formation into a cohesive mass which can be extruded while maintaining the individual identity and organoleptic attributes of each food item within the food portion. The food portion may be shaped into a slice or other configuration prior to or during its encasing within a flexible packaging material. Product formulations which provide for minimal moisture migration between the different food items within the food portion and for optimum product stability, as well as processes and methods for providing and processing these formulations, are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 5263404
    Abstract: An anti-rotation wiper ring for mounting in a pump equipment gland concentrically to the equipment pump rod, the ring having a wiper lip for preventing debris from being carried on the rod retracting within the equipment. Structure prevents the ring from rotating inwardly toward the rod and possibly outwardly thereafter out of the pump. In one embodiment, the wiper ring flange is held in the gland receiver groove via an anti-rotation anchor on the flange bottom surface mating with a gland locking groove on the bottom surface of the gland receiver groove. Alternatively or additionally, a stabilizer device is formed on the ring ID and prevents the ring's inward rotation. The stabilizer has standoffs to allow the passing rod to glide by while a recession above the standoffs reduces drag. Reliefs between the standoffs harmlessly pass any pressure which may escape the pump piston seal. A static seal keeps a potential leakage path closed in between the wiper ring OD and gland receiver groove ID.
