  • Patent number: 9445579
    Abstract: An egg-holding tray for incubation intended to accommodate eggs has rectangular shape with rounded corners bordered by parallel walls. A lower part of these walls configures a protruding rectangular border. The internal area of the tray comprises a set of laterally juxtaposed aureoles with the same structure that fill the entire area of the tray. Each individual aureole includes a lower concentric ring beneath an upper ring. The lower ring has a circular shape configured to have four equidistant orthogonal supports located on the internal face which each support has a vertical triangular shape with a rounded upper end and a concave surface that correlates to the inside circumference of the lower ring. The tray accommodates eggs under the force exerted by the weight of each of the eggs prevent the egg from moving around in the aureole.

  • Patent number: 7337540
    Abstract: Provided is technology capable of avoiding complex processes and high costs while securing the protection of the functional unit upon forming a device including a glass substrate. A manufacturing method of a structural body structured with a bonding body formed from a glass substrate and a semiconductor substrate, including a first step of forming a first functional unit as a structural element of the structural body on one face of the glass substrate; a second step of bonding the semiconductor substrate to one face of the glass substrate so as to cover the first functional unit; a third step of forming an affected zone extending in the thickness direction of the glass substrate by irradiating a laser beam from the other face side of the glass substrate and scanning the focal point of the laser beam in the thickness direction of the glass substrate; and a fourth step of forming a hole in the glass substrate by etching the glass substrate and removing the portion along the affected zone.

  • Patent number: 4650076
    Abstract: The improved container, obtained from a sheet of synthetic thermoplastic material, which is particularly suitable for eggs, is made in two portions (10,12) which are held together by rib (13) and can be folded down so that one closes on the other by means of pressure fastenings (14,22). It is provided with damper-ribs (25) which protect the eggs from breakage due to accidental impacts against the sides of the walls of the recesses (11) in which the eggs are placed and when portion (12) thereof is constructed as a lid without recesses it has ribs (34,35,36) in a particular location on the lid which confer satisfactory rigidity which is perceptible when the container is being closed or when it lies at the base of a stack of containers, for example on a display shelf.

  • Patent number: 4349571
    Abstract: A bulk package for stacked and nested ice cream cones is provided for transporting and dispensing the cones in which a plurality of folded foam sandwich structures each defining a row of cells holding one cone stack to a cell are inserted into an outer container to form a matrix of cells therein. In one embodiment, the sandwich structures and the outer container are sized such that a forced fit is developed between them to cause the cells to close down on and immobilize the stacked cones. The outer container is split open on two opposed sides at the point of use of the cones to relieve the forced fit and permit vending of the cones from the cells by gripping individual cone apices. The outer container is provided with an easy to split sidewall structure, if desired. In another embodiment the force fit is secured by comb-shaped clamps which close down the cells. Spacers are provided in both embodiments to hold the plastic sandwich structures in place when a lid is placed on the outer container.

  • Patent number: 3994115
    Abstract: Plural recesses are formed on the surface of a sheet of a chemically crosslinked foam of a polyolefinic resin containing an inorganic calcium compound, the articles of food to be packaged are placed in the recesses and then the sheet is covered with a physically foamed sheet of a polyolefinic resin containing an inorganic calcium compound. Alternatively, the physically foamed sheet can be shaped to define a recessed support for the food articles and a sheet of foamed polyolefinic resin used as the covering. The polyolefinic resin has 30-60% by weight of an inorganic calcium compound incorporated therein.
