  • Patent number: 12291386
    Abstract: Described are liners for bulk containers that are abuse resistant. The liners include at least one sidewall. The sidewall includes at least an exterior ply and an interior ply. Optionally, the sidewall may include at least one intermediate ply. One of the plies includes a first polyolefin-silicone copolymer. The adhesion between the plies is from 0 g/2.54 cm to 50 g/2.54 cm (0 g/in to 50 g/in).

  • Publication number: 20160114958
    Abstract: An anti-bacterial package component comprising a packaging substrate having an anti-bacterial agent fixed thereto; and a chemoattractant (bacteria attractant) incorporated with the substrate and adapted for diffusion into a food or toiletry product medium; the attractant selected from the group consisting of monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides, vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids; wherein the attractant is adapted for biological transport of pathogenic or spoilage bacteria from a product medium in contact with the substrate across an attractant concentration gradient to contact with the fixed anti-bacterial agent whereby the bacteria is killed, immobilized, made steril, or otherwise rendered harmless.

  • Patent number: 4944409
    Abstract: An easy open package adapted to be heat sealed closed and peelably reopened including a first package wall comprising an outer layer, an inner sealant layer and a tie layer disposed between and peelably bonded to either the inner layer or the outer layer and a second package wall joined about a portion of its perimeter to the first package wall and comprising at least one layer, that layer being a sealant layer having the same composition as the inner sealant layer of the first package wall and disposed adjacent thereto, the sealant layers being heat sealable together to form a bond having a bond strength greater than the bond between the tie layer and the layer to which it is peelably bonded, that bond strength being predetermined by the selection of the compositions of the adjacent layers.

  • Patent number: 4410155
    Abstract: The stem connection of a back connected gauge instrument placed extending partially through an opening in a panel wall is received in an aperture of an elongated clamp plate adapted to span the instrument parallel to the backside of the panel. A keyed recess in communication with the plate aperture is adapted to interlock with a cooperative surface on the gauge stem at a predetermined location longitudinally spaced behind the gauge. A foot of a leg extending integrally from the plate at one end thereof toward the backside surface of the panel cooperates with a similarly extending preassembled thumb screw extending transversely through the plate at the opposite end to effect mounting. The thumb screw also serves to adjustably draw and secure the gauge into its mounted position.
