Abstract: A process for efficiently conveying containers along a table-top conveying system includes the steps of temporarily securing a transfer stabilizing support (1a, 1b) to a bottom end of a formed container (14) so that the container can freely move along a production line using the table-top conveying system where the transfer stabilizing support has a bottom surface (2a, 2b) with an opening (4a, 4b), a sidewall (6a, 6b) extending substantially perpendicular to the bottom surface, and a ridge area (10b) surrounding the opening and inside the sidewall of the support; and after the container has gone through operations of the production line, the transfer stabilizing support is removed so that aesthetic qualities of the formed container shape are revealed.

Abstract: A system for use in a structure for refilling portable self-contained breathing apparatus comprising a plurality of stations including a first station, an intermediate station and an end station, apparatus for coupling the first station to a source of compressed air, tubing for conducting compressed air from said first station to said intermediate and end stations and apparatus at each of said stations above or downstream from said first station for coupling said compressed air to said portable self-contained breathing apparatus. Air pressure indicators and valves for isolating an upstream station from a downstream station are also provided in each station.
