  • Container closure tool
    Patent number: 8984846
    Abstract: A hand-held closure tool for closing a container. Based on the design of the inventive closure tool, a pair of wheels provides two points of contact between the closure tool and the container peripheral flange. This design feature stabilizes the closure tool as the container is moved in a circular fashion. The stability of the closure tool against the peripheral flange of the container enables the closure tool movement to be accomplished in a single, continuous motion.

  • Aluminum box sealer
    Publication number: 20110229288
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to close boxes made out of aluminum foil like the ones used in supermarkets. The boxes are made to be closed by hand, manually crimping the open aluminum foil around the base against the edge of the lid. The apparatus is hand held and operated by rolling it around the edge of the open aluminum foil base. It will form the edge of the seal against the lid, thus closing the box. The result of this invention is an aluminum foil box sealer that safely and quickly seals the lid against the base of the aluminum foil base.
