  • Patent number: 11801109
    Abstract: A container has a sheet of one or more first flexible materials; a seam around a circumference of the sheet; a cinch tie enclosed within the seam and exposed at each of at least two notches in the seam on opposite sides of the sheet; and a barrier flap of a second flexible material secured to a first side of the sheet along a line that includes the center of the sheet, wherein the barrier flap is configured to divide an interior space of the container into a first compartment and a second compartment when the container is closed, and wherein the barrier flap is configured to be further secured at a location on the first side of the sheet proximal to the circumference; wherein the cinch tie is configured to close the container by drawing the seam shut when pulled out through the at least two notches.

  • Publication number: 20200087024
    Abstract: The scope of this invention was to create a container that could endure extreme hot temperatures when heated by microwave and endure extreme cold temperatures without cracking when shipped with dry ice. In addition, the container was ergonomically designed to encompass a snug fit to keep the food contained, but the top is easily detached even if the individual does not have full use of their hands. The container is multipurpose. There was not a container on the market that met these criteria, so extensive time was expended to design such a container to fit the needs of the company.

  • Patent number: 8915370
    Abstract: A blister-type packaging unit having a front wall (2) and a rear wall (1) defining an article-receiving space (6) between them. The front wall (2) and the rear wall (1) have a circumferential joint (4). Inwardly of said circumferential joint (4) a weakened region (7) is present in at least one of the front and rear walls (1,2), which weakened region (7) is tearable by a user to separate the front and rear walls (1,2). Said weakened region (7) has two end portions which are located inwardly of said peripheral region, so that the weakened region (7) can be torn after the user has made a cut in the walls (1,2).

  • Patent number: 6673765
    Abstract: A process for preparing a homogeneous, solid cleaning composition that comprises a cleaning agent, and optionally an additive agent and a hardening agent is provided. The compositions are processed in a continuous mixing system at high shear, at or below the melting temperature of the ingredients. Preferably, the ingredients are processed in an extruder, and the mixture is extruded directly into a mold or other packaging system for dispensing the cleaning composition. The consistency of the composition ranges from that of a fused block solid to a malleable article. The cleaning compositions are useful for warewashing and cleaning hard surfaces, rinsing, sanitizing, deodorizing, laundry detergents, conveyor lubricants, and the like.
