  • Patent number: 10370142
    Abstract: A nestable shipping container including side walls, a bottom wall, and an open top is disclosed. The nestable shipping container has a geometry which permits insertion into and reception of similarly shaped containers to facilitate empty shipment and storage in a minimum amount of space. The nestable shipping container may be manufactured by a cold working method from a single blank of material. The containers may be manufactured to meet the performance criteria required of international commerce shipping drums.

  • Patent number: 5160031
    Abstract: An open-top container that is generally circular in cross-section and is formed from deformable metal by utilizing a press to force bottom portions of an upwardly opening workpiece into a die to carry out drawing operations that alter bottom and side wall portions of the workpiece to elongate the workpiece and to provide the workpiece with tapered, fluted side portions that enable the resulting container to be nested with a like container for empty shipment and storage in a minimum of space. As a part of the container configuration process, each container is provided with a pluraltiy of vertically extending "flutes" that extend along the side walls of the container, and with at least one ring-like formation that serves to enhance container strength, container stability and/or container handling characteristics.

  • Patent number: 5040682
    Abstract: A system for reconfigurating generally cylindrical, open-top containers that are formed from deformable metal utilizes a press to force bottom portions of upwardly opening, substantially cylindrical containers into a die to carry out drawing operations that alter bottom and side wall portions of the containers to elongate the containers and to provide the containers with tapered, fluted side portions that enable the reconfigured containers to be nested for empty shipment and storage in a minimum of space. As a part of the container reconfiguration process, each container is provided with a plurality of vertically extending "flutes" that extend along the side walls of the reconfigured containers, and with at least one ring-like formation that serves to enhance container strength, container stability and/or container handling characteristics.

  • Patent number: 4909393
    Abstract: A system for reconfiguring generally cylindrical, open-top containers that are formed from deformable metal utilizes a press to force bottom portions of a container into a die to carry out a drawing operation that alters bottom and side wall portions of the containers to elongate the containers and to provide the containers with tapered, fluted side portions that enable the reconfigured containers to be nested for empty shipment and storage in a minimum of space. As containers are reconfigured, the decrease that results in fluid-carrying capacity as side wall portions are fluted and folded inwardly is compensated for, at least in large part, by elongating the containers as by folding peripheral portions of their bottom walls upwardly to serve as extensions of their side walls.

  • Patent number: 3977839
    Abstract: Methods of coating metal articles to protect them from corrosion, and the products of such methods. Metal articles which have been electroplated with zinc, cadmium, nickel or chromium, are chromated, and coated with a hydrophobic thermosetting polymer, and heated to convert the polymer to a hard, adherent film. Multiple polymer coatings are applied prior to heat curing.

    Inventor: Stephen P. Palisin, Jr.
  • Patent number: 3972798
    Abstract: An electroplating rack has a framework including a pair of interconnected uprights which support two vertically spaced grids. The grids have removable partitions for selectively forming different size apertures to receive long parts to be electroplated. Electrode bars underlie the lower grid and define exposed, upwardly facing electrode surfaces for engaging the lower ends of parts positioned in the grids.

  • Patent number: 3972785
    Abstract: An electroplating rack has a framework including a pair of interconnected uprights which support two vertically spaced pairs of arms. Removable pairs of inserts extend between the distal ends of the arms. Electrode bars underlie the pairs of inserts and define exposed, upwardly facing electrode surfaces. The inserts are provided with spaced apertures to support long, thin articles stood on end with their lower ends contacting the electrode surfaces. Interchangeable inserts having apertures of different sizes enable the racks to efficiently support long thin articles of different sizes.

  • Patent number: 3961993
    Abstract: Methods of coating metal articles to protect them from corrosion, and the products of such methods. Metal articles which have been electroplated with zinc, cadmium, nickel or chromium, or which have been phosphated, are chromated, and coated with a hydrophobic thermosetting polymer, and heated to convert the polymer to a hard, adherent film. Multiple polymer coatings may be applied prior to heat curing, and the corrosion resistance of the coating is thereby vastly improved.
