Patent number: 11117717Abstract: A container latching system has an open container with a container lid with extended lip sections. Two slide lock latches are located over the lip sections on opposite sides of the lid. With the lid covering the container, the lip sections overlay the top edges of the container, the slide lock latches overlay a portion of the lip sections, and track slider members in each slide lock latch move along the lip sections to lock and seal the lid to the container.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2019Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Inventors: Dean Chapman, John R. Winter, Benjamin Broerman

Patent number: 5770171Abstract: A process for production of chlorine dioxide which is substantially free of by product chlorine. Chlorine-dioxide is produced from an alkali metal chlorate, a mineral acid and a reducing agent such as methanol in a reaction medium maintained at an acid normality of less than 9 and with a high chlorate molarity. The process is carried out in the substantial absence of additional chloride ion being fed to the process. It has been found that increasing the chlorate concentration at a given acid normality reduces the amount of chloride in the reaction medium thus reducing the amount of chlorine by-product. The process is carried out in a vessel operated under subatmospheric pressure, whereby water is evaporated and withdrawn together with chlorine dioxide and the alkali metal salt of the mineral acid is crystallized within the reaction vessel and withdrawn therefrom.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1990Date of Patent: June 23, 1998Assignee: Eka Nobel Inc.Inventors: Birgitta Sundblad, Anders Oscar Johan Dahl, John R. Winters

Patent number: 5545389Abstract: A process for the production of chlorine dioxide by reacting at least one of chloric acid and an alkali metal chlorate, and hydrogen peroxide as the reducing agent in such proportions that chlorine dioxide is produced in a reaction medium. A mixture comprising chlorine dioxide and oxygen is withdrawn from the reaction medium. Urea and/or one or more phosphonic acid based complexing agents are added to the reaction medium. The stabilizer is added in an amount of 0.01-5 weight % and serves to increase the reaction rate.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 1994Date of Patent: August 13, 1996Assignee: Eka Nobel ABInventors: John R. Winters, John M. Gray, Joel D. Tenney

Patent number: 5480567Abstract: A tumble dryer article comprising: a mixture of at least two surfactants, (i) a first surfactant present in an amount of about 5 wt. % to about 70 wt. % and having an endotherm peak temperature of from about 75.degree. C. to about 155.degree. C., (ii) a second surfactant present in an amount of about 30 wt. % to about 95 wt. % and having an endotherm peak temperature of from about 35.degree. C. to about 70.degree. C., wherein the peak temperatures of the first and second surfactant of the mixture are different from each other by at least about 1.degree. C. as measured in a differential scanning calorimeter device and a melting transition temperature of the mixture being from about 50.degree. C. to about 120.degree. C.; and dispenser means for dispensing the mixture onto fabrics in a tumble dryer.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 1994Date of Patent: January 2, 1996Assignee: Lever Brothers Company, Division of Conopco, Inc.Inventors: Andrew C. Lam, Samuel Q. Lin, Timothy J. Taylor, John R. Winters

Patent number: 5376350Abstract: A plug flow process for the production of chlorine dioxide by reacting chloric acid and/or an alkali metal chlorate, optionally a mineral acid and a reducing agent in such proportions that chlorine dioxide is produced. Reactants are continuously fed to a plug flow reactor under conditions that chloride dioxide is produced as the reactants flow through the reactor. The process stream has an acidity between 2N and 11N. The process stream is subjected to superatmospheric pressure in the reactor sufficient to maintain the formed chlorine dioxide in solution. After removal of the chlorine dioxide from the process stream exiting the plug flow reactor, the process stream can optionally be fed to a second chlorine dioxide generator for further reaction.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1992Date of Patent: December 27, 1994Assignee: Eka Nobel ABInventors: Joel D. Tenney, John R. Winters

Patent number: 5228733Abstract: A safe and taper resistant safety lock system for the top of sliding glass doors and consists of a metal bracket fastened to the top edge of the door, positioned on the door with a screw which is normally found in each door, and then permanently fastened to the door with a second screw. A top, horizontal section, is formed by bending a first end of a metal plate, and extends over the top of the sliding door. The safety lock system is adjusted to reduce the gap between the top of the door and the top of the upper track to prevent lifting of the door out of the bottom track.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 1992Date of Patent: July 20, 1993Inventor: John R. Winters

Patent number: 4400539Abstract: There is described a continuous process for the manufacture of ethylenediamine from the products of the reaction of ethylene oxide and ammonia, provision of a continuous recycle stream of monoethanolamine to the products of the reaction of ethylene oxide and ammonia, the amination of such products of the reaction of ethylene oxide and ammonia combined with the monoethanolamine recycle in which the feed stream to the amination reaction zone contains at least 70 weight percent monoethanolamine as well as diethanolamine and triethanolamine, the moles of ammonia provided to the amination reaction exceeds the molar concentration of alcoholic hydroxyl groups present in the amination feed, and the feed to the amination reactor contains at least a 5% increase in the concentration of monoethanolamine over the concentration of monoethanolamine in the reaction product stream from the reaction of ethylene oxide and ammonia.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1981Date of Patent: August 23, 1983Assignee: Union Carbide CorporationInventors: Charles A. Gibson, John R. Winters
