  • Patent number: 9994375
    Abstract: A modular packing system includes a pallet exhibiting a continuous and unperforated support surface affording a plurality of seating features distributed thereon, a plurality of containers of base measurements as submultiples of the pallet dimensions and constant height so as to form even layers of uniform height, and an uppermost cover element for positioning on top of a final layer of containers and equipped with a first pair of belts engageable to corresponding belt portions which, in turn, engage with a second pair of belts associated to the pallet. Each container exhibits a lower base surface affording raised features configured to engage in seating features in the pallet support surface. Each container further exhibits a cover element exhibiting a plurality of seating features, analogous in conformation and positioning to the seating features in the pallet support surface, so as to form another support and engagement surface for a subsequent layer.

  • Patent number: 9469447
    Abstract: A sealing mechanism for packaging containers offers the end recipient a way of testing and guaranteeing that the container has not been tampered with or opened during transport operations, and that it has reached its destination in the same condition as when it left. The sealing mechanism for packaging containers of the “low-coefficient” type includes a first and second pin for engaging with a relative seat present on the edge of the container, and a tab designed to fit into the space between the pins. The mechanism for packaging containers of the “high-coefficient” type features, a plate as a first component envisaged to fit into a relative seat present in the container, a second component including an opening block and a fitting designed to engage with the lid of the container, and a pin envisaged to engage with the first component and the second component, securing the entire mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20080292220
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a container for packaging of the type that comprises a containment structure that is basically composed of a base wall (2) to which a rear wall (3), a pair of lateral walls (4) and a front wall (5) are attached and a closing element (6) where to the front wall (5) a valve (9) is attached that, in turn, is connected to an inflatable element (10) designed to contain dry ice (11). The container is designed to be operated from a rest condition, when it is inactive and no products are accommodated in the container, to a first operative condition in which there are some products in the container and in the front wall (5) there is the valve (9) with the inflatable element (10), and to a second operative condition in which the container is closed by the closing element and the dry ice expands, thereby enlarging the inflatable element that fills the remaining empty space inside the container, thereby blocking the closing element.

  • Publication number: 20080152165
    Abstract: A new form of musical entertainment is provided by creating an audio show from a plurality of independently-generated audio data sets. Each of the independently-generated audio data sets contains a plurality of distinct audio parts prepared to play as part of an audio show in a synchronized manner. A group of people each having a personalized audio device is brought together at hearable distance from each other. On each device, a playback audio part is selected from the same audio data set. Comparing all selected audio parts in the group there will be at least two selected playback audio parts that are different from each other. All personalized audio devices in the group can be synchronized to a synchronized playback mode. The selected audio parts can be played back through the loudspeakers of the personalized audio devices thereby creating an audio show among the group.
