  • Patent number: 6474230
    Abstract: An imaging system is disclosed. A housing has an interior chamber and a door. A press has a base fabricated of a rigid material and with an upper surface. The press has a raisable platen with a lower surface fabricated of a resilient material. A support plate is positionable on the upper surface of the base for the receipt of an object. A transfer sheet has printing material positioned upon the object. Drive mechanisms urge the platen downwardly into contact with the transfer sheet with the object, plate and base there beneath. Heating components located within the platen generate heat. Cooling components located within the base lower the temperature of the object after the transfer of images.

  • Patent number: 5050778
    Abstract: A pressurizable container has a removable cover. The removable cover has locking elements to maintain the cover sealed to the container when the container is pressurized. The locking device is a piston received in a cylinder, and the cylinder communicates with the interior of the container. When the container is pressurized, the pressure fluid forces the piston and its associated locking bolt into a position such that the bolt passes through a wall of the container and a wall of the removable cover, locking the cover to the container. It is also possible to draw a vacuum on the container when the container is used as a sterilizing device.

  • Patent number: 4982879
    Abstract: A bottle, dispensing and contents preservation apparatus has a dispensing nozzle provided with structures for locking the dispenser nozzle to a bottle neck to reduce accidental release of the dispenser when the container is pressurized. The source of pressurizing fluid may be from a manifold, connected to a large source of pressurized gas, a cylinder of pressurized gas or a disposable gas cartridge.
