  • Patent number: 5814383
    Abstract: A container with improved crease-crack resistance and a method of making that type of container. The container utilizes a layer of a soft plastic on its exterior to control cracking at outward creases. When the container holds motor oil, the oil itself may plasticize the stiff material on the container's interior to preclude inward crease cracking. In this case, the stiff layer should have a sufficient thickness that an adequate amount of material remains unaffected by the oil and does not lose its rigidity or jeopardize the container's structural integrity. Where the contents do not provide the requisite improvement in inward crease cracking or would completely soften the stiff layer, then the container has a separate, soft, third layer of plastic on the interior of the container. The softness of this layer protects against inward crease cracking. It may also protect the stiff layer from softening by the bottle's contents.

  • Patent number: 5465856
    Abstract: A container constituted of injection-molded plastic components, the components having the property of enabling discrete particles thereof to be securely joined to each other under the action of heat and pressure. The injection-molded components form a pair of continuous mating edges adapted to constitute a common continuous joint in the container. The edges initially have configurations enabling them to be mutually abutted, and the edges after being so abutted having been subjected to heat and pressure of a magnitude sufficient to cause them to meet and merge into each other to form the continuous joint.
