Patent number: 12076907Abstract: Described are a mold and molding process for manufacturing devices and containers that are scalable, modular, and lockable laterally and vertically with other like devices or containers. The mold is formed with a cup mold and top end mold sections specially designed to allow for molding and demolding a container with an undercut. The cup mold includes, on a vertical wall, one or more undercuts. Multiple undercuts may further form tongues with undercuts each of which forms a groove with undercuts on the molded article, and/or one or more grooves with undercuts each of which form a tongue with undercuts in the molded article. Molding and Demolding of the article with undercuts is further enabled by utilizing an improved method of molding said article with an undercut, and demolding said article from the mold once it is molded, by improvements to each stage of the molding process, including the preform stage, the conditioning station stage, the blow stage and the release stage.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2021Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: Friendship Products, LLCInventors: B. Everett Hendrickson, Timothy Carlson, Craig Severn, Ottmar Brandau, Michael Frederick

Patent number: 11766820Abstract: Described are devices and containers that are scalable, modular, and lockable laterally and vertically with other like containers for a variety of applications. A container is formed by a wall attached at first end to a top end section with an opening and attached at a second end by a bottom end section. A container may have one or more of a tongue, formed on the wall, having and interconnecting mechanism to be received and interlocked by a groove. Vertical interconnectivity is accomplished with mechanisms to stack containers and prevent swivel using a ridge and channel interlocking arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2022Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: Friendship Products LLCInventors: B. Everett Hendrickson, Timothy J. Carlson, A. Irene Hendrickson, Craig Severn, Ottmar Brandau, Michael Frederick
