  • Patent number: 12630345
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including a reusable recyclable packing pouch. The reusable recyclable packing pouch includes a plastic container and a paperboard jacket. The plastic container includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a shaped region. The second portion is coupled to the first portion by a hinge, and sized to mate with the first portion such as to define a space between facing surfaces of the second portion and the shaped region of the first portion When the first portion and the second portion are coupled, the plastic container includes a flange extending annularly around the shaped region. The paperboard jacket has an aperture defined therethrough. The aperture is sized to permit the shaped region of the plastic container to pass through while the flange extends past edges of aperture and overlaps with a region of paperboard jacket at a periphery of the aperture.

  • Patent number: 11264740
    Abstract: A battery post terminal assembly includes a conductive band and a clamp mechanism. The conductive band includes a first free end and a second free end. The conductive band defines an aperture for receiving a battery post of a battery. The clamp mechanism includes a wedge member that defines a recess between a first surface and a second surface thereof. The recess has an open end and a closed end that is narrower than the open end. The first surface is convex. The first free end and the second free end are positioned in the recess. The first free end is movable along the first surface toward the closed end to be moved by the first surface toward the second free end to tighten the conductive band around the battery post.
