Abstract: A metal container which includes two drawn container halves joined by an injection molded plastic ring. The container halves can be identical and of low profile, with upstanding walls terminating in formed edges of substantially the same size and shape. The ring includes a pair of opposed channels sharing a common base, and the formed edges of the respective container halves fit into the opposed channels of the ring. The channels and formed edges are adapted to provide tailored fitting and retention characteristics, so that one of the container half is gripped more securely by the ring, and the other container half is more readily removable.
Abstract: An extruded plastic shape made to snap over the top of a barrel whose cover has been removed by means of suitable cutting devices, and containing an undercut to clear the outside bead of the container and an opposing undercut to clear the cut edge which is produced on the inside edge of the barrel, protecting people from injury sustained from said cut edge. This material could be available in coil form, fit over the barrel, then cut to length at the site.
Abstract: A combination beverage package having a primary chamber and a secondary chamber beneath. The primary chamber includes a substantially cylindrical sidewall containment and a bottom closure panel. The secondary chamber below being a detachable substantially cylindrical sidewall containment with a secondary bottom closure panel being spaced apart from the primary closure panel by the secondary substantially cylindrical containment. A complimentary product is placed in the secondary chamber during manufacture and can be removed by the user through detachment of the secondary containment chamber.

Abstract: A novel device for the control of flooding from drainage system overflow and a method of use are disclosed. The device is useful for limiting overflow from drainage structures, such as a sump well or sewer drain. The device includes at least one container segment that defines an enclosure for retaining excess flood water. The device also includes a cover and means for removably mounting the cover on the top of the container segment. Transition means are also provided to sealingly connect the container segment with an element below the container segment. In accordance with a method aspect of this invention, a flood control installation is made by attaching the device to an apron defining the opening about the well.
Abstract: A cabinet structure having upstanding sidewalls defining vertical corners. The sidewalls include an inner liner, an outer shell, and foamed-in-place insulation between the liner and shell. A first breaker collar extends between the shell and liner across the insulation space. A second breaker collar extends between the shell and liner across the insulation space, with the breaker collars having spaced end portions at a corner of the cabinet. A collar corner element is installed across the space between the breaker collar ends at the corner and includes temporary locking structure for holding the corner element in place during the forming of the foamed-in-place insulation. The corner element further includes a locking wall extending into the insulation space so as to be embedded in the foamed-in-place insulation upon completion of the foaming operation.
