Abstract: Vessel including a unitary or two-part vessel base having an intermediate wall portion, upper and lower wall portions on opposite sides of the intermediate wall portion, and upper and lower seal rims adjacent the respective upper and lower wall portions. The upper and intermediate wall portions define an upper chamber space including at least one upper chamber. The lower and intermediate wall portions define a lower chamber space including at least one lower chamber. The seal rims include edges configured to provide suction when pressed against a flat surface, preferably when these rims are wet. Lids engage with upper and lower lid-receiving portions, respectively, defined by the vessel base to selectively close the upper or lower chamber space.

Abstract: Disclosed is a closure cap (1) comprising a exterior marginal web (5), a shielding section (4) that protrudes past the marginal web (5), and a hot-melt adhesive (11) which is arranged in the area of the shielding section (4) and is deformable in a plastic manner when heated above a softening temperature. A number of gripping abutment elements (7) are embodied on the marginal web (5) while a joint zone (3) having a reduced flexural rigidity is configured between the marginal web (5) and the shielding section (4). The distance between the abutment elements (7) and the bottom side of the hot-melt adhesive, which faces the marginal web (5), is smaller than the thickness of the material of a basic part (13) in the area of the opening such that an initial tension is created in the joint zone (3) when the closure cap (1) is inserted into the opening, resulting in a simple self-acting closing process after heating the hot-melt adhesive (11).

Abstract: An atmosphere controlled, resealable foodstuff container includes a base tray and a cover. The cover and base tray are constructed of a substantially gas impermeable material. The cover and base tray include resealing members. When connected, the cover and base tray define a generally enclosed and sealed interior space for foodstuffs. The container includes at least one atmosphere control member, such as a membrane, which controls the flow of gases through an opening in the container. The member may be located over a recessed opening in the cover to permit the containers to be stacked without gas flow interference. A label extends over the recess, thus obscuring the membrane from view to the purchaser without affecting the membrane atmosphere control function. The base tray may be opaque for use as a serving tray and the cover transparent to permit viewing of the product.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cooling device, which comprises a cooling fan and a heatsink. The heatsink is directly attached to the heating element to absorb its heat and the cooling fan is disposed on top of the heatsink to dissipate the heat. The heatsink includes a central heat dissipation body and a plurality of fins extending from the periphery of the central heat dissipation body. The central heat dissipation body has a fully-sealed hollow chamber filled with a cooling liquid and disposed an agitator. The agitator is disposed a magnetic element, and where the magnetic element corresponds to the rotor of the cooling fan must have a magnetically-attracting and mutually-dragging device in operation. By way of the magnetic attraction between the rotor of the cooling fan and the agitator, a better heat dissipation effect is secured, the chamber remains a fully-sealed room, and the cooling liquid overflow issue can be ruled out accordingly.

Abstract: A cover mounting structure of a waterproof box 1 which is composed of a container body 2 and a cover 3 to be mounted on an opening of the container body 2. The container body 2 includes side walls in a double-wall structure composed of an inner wall 21 and an outer wall 20, the inner wall 21 being projected longer than the outer wall 20. The cover 3 includes attached walls each of which is provided with an outer groove 27 defined between an outer wall portion 29 and a middle wall portion 30, and an inner groove 28 defined between the middle wall portion 30 and an inner wall portion 31, so that the cover 3 can be mounted to the container body 2 by respectively inserting the inner wall 21 and the outer wall 20 of the container body into the inner groove 28 and the outer groove 27 of the cover.

The receiving ring is formed on the package and has a second U-shaped protuberance that projects substantially parallel to the package axis and extends about the perimeter of the ring. The second protuberance has a second lock element in the form of a projection. The second protuberance of the ring is configured to receive the first protuberance of the cover such that the first and second lock elements engage each other and prevent removal of the cover while so engaged.
