Patent number: 6230877Abstract: A safety package is disclosed which includes a tubular member having first and second opposed end openings, a layer of heat insulative material inside the tubular member and a layer of heat insensitive material overlying the insulative material. Explosives or other volatile materials are placed in a depression in the heat insulative material and covered with the heat insensitive material to protect them from heat and fire to make transportation of such materials safer. In the event that the explosive materials are ignited, the gasses generated by the ensuing explosion will be vented in a non-unidirectional manner through the end openings and optional vent openings.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2000Date of Patent: May 15, 2001Assignee: Team Safepac i Karlskoga ABInventors: Thomas Sandberg, Anders Larsson, Tommy Bengtsson

Patent number: 4535432Abstract: A device of the prior art has an elongated arm, on the underside of which is a porous cleaning pad that cleans a phonograph record when the arm is rotated around the record. The novel device is similar, but has a small reservoir pivotably mounted in the handle. To use the novel device, one fills the reservoir with cleaning fluid and pivots it to dump the fluid which saturates the cleaning pad. Then one rotates the arm to clean the record, repeating this procedure for each record side to be cleaned.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 1984Date of Patent: August 13, 1985Assignee: Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Gerald J.
