Abstract: A secure specimen sample bottle includes a base container for receiving a specimen. The base container has a plurality of locking protrusions formed along an inner surface of the base receptacle. A bottle includes a lock ring that has an upright spire structure that has a closed top end and the opposing open bottom end including a plurality of flexible fins that are configured to interlockingly mate with the locking protrusions so as to prevent removal of the lock ring relative to the base container upon engagement of the flexible fins to the locking protrusions. A removable cap is coupled to the lock ring.

Abstract: A protective bottle enclosure includes a base section with a cylindrical base sidewall secured to a perimeter of a base bottom wall and an open top. The base bottom wall is disposed below the open top. A cylindrical body includes a neck section, a shoulder section, and a waist section. The neck section includes a neck sidewall and an annular lip disposed around a neck opening. The shoulder section includes a tapered shoulder sidewall. The waist section includes a waist sidewall. The body further includes a bottom opening and a first internal volume positioned within the body between the neck opening and the bottom opening. A cylindrical elastomeric insert is secured to the waist section inside the first internal volume of the body. The enclosure can surround the bottle and seal the open mouth when the base section engages the body and a cap engages the neck section.

Abstract: A protective bottle enclosure for enclosing and sealing a bottle with an open mouth carried within the enclosure. The enclosure includes a container having an upper portion and a base removably coupled to the upper portion, and an external cap applicable to the container in a seated position of the cap. In the seated position of the cap, the cap seals the open mouth of the bottle carried in the enclosure and forms an impermeable inner seal between the cap and the bottle. A stopper carried by the cap forms the impermeable inner seal between the cap and the bottle, and in the seated position of the cap, the cap is fully seated against the upper portion of the container and forms an impermeable outer seal between the cap and the container.

Abstract: A compact sheet material feeding device with a small height is provided. The device includes a lower sheet material stacking unit, an upper sheet material stacking unit disposed above and movable relative to the lower sheet material stacking unit, a feeding mechanism swingable between a first position relatively near to the lower sheet material stacking unit and a second position away from the lower sheet material stacking unit, a holding member configured to hold the feeding mechanism at the second position, and a pressing plate configured to move sheet material stacked in the upper sheet material stacking unit toward the feeding mechanism so that the sheet material is pressed against the feeding mechanism.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a re-usable packing case constituted by an outer rigid parallelepipedical structure e.g. of wood, comprising a parallelepipedical block of insulating material having cylindrical through holes adapted to receive bottles. The two side faces of this block of insulating material which are traversed by the cylindrical through holes are closed by plates of insulating material. One of these side faces of the outer, rigid structure, adjacent to one of the plates of insulating material, is constituted by a removable cover which is kept closed by appropriate means.The packing cases according to the present invention may be used specially for the transport and the storage of wine and liquor bottles, whereby free access to the interior of each case is maintained during storage in stacked condition.
