  • Patent number: 11649098
    Abstract: A container thermoformed from a polymeric multilayer sheet includes a cavity for containing food. The sheet includes a polymeric interior layer positioned between (i) a polymeric outer layer of the sheet and (ii) a polymeric inner layer of the sheet that is in opposing face-to-face relation with, and at least partially defines, the cavity of the container. The interior layer includes post-consumer recycled polymeric material. The sheet includes a polymeric barrier layer positioned between the interior layer and inner layer. The barrier layer restricts inward passage of at least some of any gasses originating from the post-consumer recycled polymeric material.

  • Publication number: 20220410520
    Abstract: A process of manipulating a closable carton with lid panels extending from walls of the carton and tabs received in slots formed in the lid panels to secure the lid panels to close the carton. The process has a step of moving a folding element transverse to each wall from which a lid extends to move the one or more lids into a position which closes the carton. The process has a step of lifting the closed carton past a non-return support and into engagement with another carton to provide a stack of closed cartons supported by the non-return support. The process has a step of the support then releasing a stack of closed cartons to a conveyor.

  • Publication number: 20220389920
    Abstract: A motor and pumping system which provides for high volume, low pressure, low cost, and ease of assembly as a breathing air supply such as for a submerged diver. The integration of the necessary elements gives rise to a unique ability to eliminate costly and complex motor bearings and simplify the motor design by reducing number of magnetic poles and electrical control elements which would traditionally be required to control the multiple poles of an electromechanical machine.
