  • Patent number: 11518184
    Abstract: A stamping tool may include a base and a cover. The cover is removably affixed to the base through a hinging assembly. The base can include a first base hinge and a second base hinge substantially perpendicular to the first base hinge. The base hinges can include hinge sections. The hinge sections can include a first wall and a second wall that can be biased to define a cavity that is accessible through a channel between the first wall and the second wall. Hinge sections can be separated by one or more receptacles. The cover can include one or more hinge bars corresponding to the hinge sections on the base. The hinge bars can have an unequal aspect ratio allowing for easy insertion and removal of the cover. The cover can also include one or more protrusions separating the hinge bars. These protrusions correspond to the receptacles on the base.

  • Patent number: 11459472
    Abstract: Described herein are printing ink compositions suitable for printing of microwavable flexible packaging. The printed black ink exhibits low microwave energy absorption, thus minimizing the risk of charring, arcing, ignition, distortion or burning during microwave heating processes. Nitrocellulose resin, a solvent, a polyurethane resin, and a carbon black pigment having at least one of an imaginary permittivity of ?3, preferably ?2, and a surface oxygen content of 1 wt % to 3 wt %, preferably 1.5 wt % to 2.5 wt % are among the components of the printing ink compositions. Also described is packaging suitable for exposure to microwave energy upon which the inks have been printed.

  • Patent number: 10961406
    Abstract: Described herein is an ink composition resistant to smearing, particularly when used in combination with adhesives, such as those containing polyols, including polyurethane adhesives. The present ink system is heat resistant, that is, it can withstand elevated temperatures, such as baking and cooking temperatures, and thus is suited for printing on food packaging in which the food contents are cooked in the packaging. The composition includes one or more of an elastomeric polyurethane resin, a styrene maleic anhydride copolymer, a polyurethane-polyol resin, and a group IV metal chelating agent.

  • Patent number: 10668513
    Abstract: A pig receptacle is provided. The pig receptacle provides a first circular member and a second circular member attached to at least one elongated rod. The first circular member and the second circular member are sized so that they can receive a pig therethrough. A mesh cage is wrapped around the first circular member and the second circular member so that debris can be gathered during the pigging process. The mesh cage defines apertures that are sized so that large pieces of debris are held in an interior cavity formed by the mesh cage, while small pieces of debris can pass through. In this way, debris is transported through the pipeline and is not lost due to abnormalities in the flow rate through the pipeline.
