Abstract: A flexible handle for a container having unitary construction which has a substantially flat profile with a strap attached to flexible hinges and which can be secured flush with a surface of a container.

Abstract: An improved medication dispensing and control assembly is disclosed in which a carton has sidewalls defining a medication dispensing opening, which carton has a bendable top wall connected to the sidewalls in such a manner as to allow the top wall to move between a position closing the medication opening and opened positions allowing removal of medication from the cartons. A frame is removably attached to the top wall so as to maintain planarity of the top wall to thereby facilitate carton opening and closing and maintaining the top wall portion in a closed condition and to resist any undesired bending thereof.

Abstract: A handle adapted for replacing a heater and blower system removably located in a central opening defined a top enclosure of a countertop oven. The handle comprises a mounting system for removably attaching the handle to the top enclosure in order to replace the heater and blower system when the heater and blower system is removed. The handle enables a user to remove the top enclosure from the bottom enclosure by lifting up on the handle when the handle is installed in the top enclosure. In this manner, the countertop oven may be converted to a food server comprising the handle, the top enclosure, and the bottom enclosure.

Abstract: A container (10) of the type having side walls and top and bottom ends, the top end (2) including an access hole 4 surrounded by an upstanding neck (5) adapted to receive a suitable closure, wherein the neck is integrally formed from the material of the top end. There is also provided a closure (12) comprising a cap having a top (13) and a skirt (15) extending downwardly therefrom, the skirt having an internal thread (12a) to engage the external thread of the neck, wherein the top (13a) of the cap is formed in a concave shape, the opposite surface (13b) being convex and extending downwardly towards the interior of the cap.

Abstract: A child-resistant container closure constructed according to the present invention comprises a disk shaped cover plate attached to body section formed as a substantially cylindrical wall. A movable handle or tab is attached to the cover plate to aid a user in pulling the closure from a container in which the closure is installed. A well or recess is provided in cover plate to house the handle in a closed position. A ridge on the end of the handle cooperates with a mating ridge in the wall of the recess to retain the handle in a closed position. A resilient spring is provided in the recess so that when the handle is released from the recess, it is urged into a position in which it may be conveniently gripped by a user. An undercut groove or notch is provided on the outside surface of the cylindrical wall adjacent the cover plate. The notch engages a mating lip or ridge extending inward from the inner surface of the mouth of the product container to secure the closure to the product container.

Abstract: A storage container addressed to the folded storage and securement of pantyhose for transport and storage includes a cylindrical housing to receive an insert having spaced first and second plates, with the first and second plates including first and second ribs arranged in a parallel relationship relative to one another and orthogonally oriented relative to and between the first and second plates, wherein the ribs are arranged to receive and store a furled pair of flexible pantyhose and the like within the housing.

Abstract: An open topped container (1) for liquids such as paint, which container is provided with a pivotally mounted carrying handle(5), wherein the handle is pivotally mounted substantially off-center with respect to the container body (2), whereby when a user holds the container suspended by the handle (5), at least a major part of the open top of the container (1) is unobstructed by the presence of the handle (5) and the user's hand. A wide pouring channel (9) is provided located so that any paint left on the channel (9) after pouring drains back into the container (1) as the container (1) is subsequently held by the handle (5) in readiness for painting.

Abstract: A stackable plastic container, manufactured as one piece in a blow molding process and designed for transporting hazardous liquids has a parallelepipedal form with rounded corners and edges. The container is provided with a U-shaped protruding stacking surface with two legs, whereby the legs in the direction are sloped toward the front wall in a downward direction toward the upper corners of the lateral edges of the front wall to a point below the shoulder of the filling and pouring socket arranged at the front wall and from there in an upward slope toward the shoulder of the socket.

Abstract: A utility box (10) includes a base portion (13) and a cover portion (11) attached thereto as by hinges (12). The cover portion (11) includes a downwardly directed skirt (17) and the upper end of the base portion (13) is provided with a complementary skirt (27). At least one latch assembly (28) is recessed within the complementary skirts (17, 27) and includes a latch handle (30) having an outer contour matching the complementary skirts (17, 27). A lock receiving area (52) is also recessed within the complementary skirts (17, 27). Side handles (62) are formed in the base portion (13) and recessed beneath the cover portion (11). A top handle (66) is provided within a recess (67) in the top surface (14) of cover portion (11).

Abstract: A molded lid for receiving a handle or the like is provided which may be molded of synthetic resin material in straight-pull injection molding machines. The lid includes a lid body presenting a top surface, a bottom surface and a circumscribing upright rim. A pair of opposed ears are tangentially oriented relative to the rim and define therebeneath a gap and therebelow a cavity. The gap is smaller than the cavity, so that a pin of a handle can be retained by the ears against passage through the gap. The gap between the ears enables the lid to be made by straight-pull injection molds so that the cavity-defining portion of the mold can pull through the gap so that the ears initially yield to permit the mold to pass therethrough and then return to their original, molded position.
