Abstract: A container assembly is provided with a container and a lid, with the lid cooperating with the container to enclose the interior of the container. A magnetic member is supported by the lid or the container for transverse movement between a first position and a second position. When the lid is cooperatively associated with the container, the magnetic member is in the first position and inhibits movement of the lid along a longitudinal axis of the container to lock the container. With the magnetic member in the second position, the lid is moveable along the longitudinal axis to open the container.

Abstract: A bleed valve for bleeding air from a compressed air chamber at start-up of a gas turbine engine is self-actuated. The bleed valve moves between open and closed positions based on the pressure within a compressed air chamber. In this manner, the bleed valve is driven to an open position at low pressure conditions and to a closed position once the pressure within the compressor chamber becomes higher and closer to operating pressures. In this manner, a relatively inexpensive and simple bleed valve can be utilized to provide the start-up bleed valve function.

Abstract: A handgrip formed in a wall of a plastics container, the wall having an interior, an interior surface, an exterior surface and a wall thickness and suitable for containing a carbonated beverage, including an integral structure formed of a central dome having a convex surface facing toward the adjacent said exterior surface and at least two concentric annular troughs, each having an annular concave surface facing the adjacent said exterior surface, an outer frustum interconnected with each trough and connecting rings, each of curved cross-section having an annular concave surface facing toward the interior, to join, integrally, the frustums to the next outer trough and the outermost frustum to the container wall surrounding the handgrip, the handgrip having a thickness approximately equal to the wall thickness, wherein the handgrip does not extend radially outwardly of the wall. An associated container, blow mold and method are also included.

Abstract: A structure of squeeze lid is provided. The squeeze lid includes a cyliner container having an upper opening and a sloped flange slightly extending outward from the opening; a squeeze lid of a circular body having a first and second lower flanges concentrically formed and extending downward from the edge of the body to define an annular gap therebetween engageable with the sloped flange of the container, an upper flange extending upward from the edge of the body including a plurality of radial slits fromed spaced apart in the circulity of radial slits fromed spaced apart in the circumference and a reinforcement ring engageable into a circular space moving outward so as to effect the second lower flange to move inward in order to tightly close the upper opening of the container which may decorate with patterns to be used as a cup or vase.

Abstract: It would be desirable to have improved designs of ostomy couplings which embody a springy or resilient split ring as a locking ring.In an ostomy coupling, first and second coupling members 20, 40 are held together by a springy flexible split locking ring 30. A plurality of tabs 31, 32, symmetrically arranged on each limb of the locking ring 30, can be withdrawn generally radially outwardly by movement of the locking ring to permit separation of the two coupling members. The ring 30 is generally circular in its unstressed condition.

Abstract: It would be desirable to have improved designs of ostomy couplings which embody a springy or resilient split ring as a locking ring.In an ostomy coupling, first and second coupling members 80, 90 are held together by a springy flexible split locking ring 100. A plurality of tabs 101 symmetrically arranged on each limb of the locking ring 100, can be withdrawn generally radially outwardly by movement of the locking ring to permit separation of the two coupling members.

Abstract: A champagne bottle safety device having a bottle, a cork received within an open end of the bottle, and an elastic sheath extending over an exterior of the cork and extending around a portion of the bottle below the cork. The bottle has pressurized contents, such as champagne. The cork is received within the open end so as to contain the pressurized contents. The cork has a neck portion slidably and removably received within the open end of the bottle and a head portion extending outwardly of the open end. The elastic sheath covers the head portion. A foam insert is affixed to a top surface of the head portion. The elastic sheath extends over the foam insert. The elastic sheath has a closed end and an open end. The open end extends around a circumference of the bottle. The open end extends in air-tight relationship around this circumference of the bottle.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a closure system 10 including a bottle cap and a bottle neck portion 20 and in particular, denotes the use of a flexible pressing spring 21 for reversible insert into both the bottle neck 20 and the bottle cap. Such insert and joined motion between the mating portions allows the opening and closing of the bottle cap to be a simple task. The closure system 10 produces an aesthetically pleasing sound effect at the time of the opening of the bottle. The head of the bottle cap and closure system 10 may be formed into various contours and the neck of the bottle body, as well as the closure system may be integrally formed as well as being independently made and then matched with the neck of standard bottles.

Abstract: A segmented mechanical lock for a container including arcuate segments 12, 14, 16 having upstanding pins 18, pivot ring 20 having tangential slots 22 overlies the segments and upon rotary motion moves them outwardly into a groove 48 locking lid 6 in position in vessel 4.

Abstract: An arrangement for closing an open end of a substantially stiff, generally cylindrical side wall of a container is disclosed, comprising a cover of an elastic, resilient material to be fixed to an end portion of the side wall. Said cover includes a central main portion forming an end wall of the container and an integral peripheral flange projecting in an axially outward direction from said main portion. A hard spring, formed by a ring of circumferentially closed configuration, is pressed into the cover, on the inner side of said flange, and into engagement with a selected circumferentially extending section of the flange to force the outer side of said flange section into contact under pressure with the inner side of the end portion of the side wall. Hereby a tight connection is established between the cover and the side wall and the cover is firmly fixed to the side wall.

Abstract: A lockable cap for a screw top container having an annular element with a plurality of upwardly extending hooks, the element is held in place by a groove beneath the container screw threads. The cap has an annular wall defining an inverted U-shaped hollow into which the hooks project and lock the cap. The hooks can be manually compressed radially-inwardly to unlock them.
