International Classification:

G01N021/64

US Classification:

436172000, 422082080

Abstract:

The present invention relates to an apparatus and methods for the identification or authentication of liquid products by the addition of an anti-Stokes marker. The invention features an apparatus and method for the identification of a liquid, dynamic or static, that includes adding an anti-Stokes luminescent marker compound to the liquid followed by exposing the compound to a light source of a known wavelength or known wavelengths and then detecting one or more shorter wavelength emissions from the marker, where the identity of the liquid is confirmed by the emission wavelength or wavelengths that are detected and quantified. The irradiating source of light includes, but is not limited to, a laser and other conventional light sources.

International Classification:

B65D 5/32
B65D 5/42

US Classification:

229122270, 229199000

Abstract:

A reinforced bulk materials container having a first wall-forming blank scored to provide main panels foldably joined together at a plurality of corners with each main panel having a foldably joined bottom flap foldably. A wear reducing member attaches along the score for the bottom flaps and overlaps lateral portions of the flaps and the panels. A second wall-forming blank of corrugated paperboard defining panels laminates to the first wall-forming blank and includes members fixedly attached about a perimeter of each panel and a filler pad within the perimeter defined by the members. The wear reducing member resists the bottom edges of the container from wearing through caused movement of the container on rough surfaces.

International Classification:

B65D 85/48

US Classification:

206454

Abstract:

A glass pack with a base having two opposed pockets on opposing sides for receiving legs of opposing side panels, connected on one side of each to the base, and a pair of opposing end panels that each connect on one side to the base, with aligned tabs for connecting adjacent edges of the side panels and end panels, such that one of the side panels or one of the end panels is selectively removable for access into the container for loading and unloading sheet articles.

International Classification:

B65D 8568

US Classification:

206319

Abstract:

A wood cleated reinforced paper board shipping container for outboard motors including a bottom frame, a bottom box to enclose the powerhead end of the motor, a motor mounting frame, a gear case housing pad, an exhaust housing pad, and an upper box to enclose the gear case end of the motor, the motor rigidly mounted in the frame powerhead down in the container configured to protect the motor from damage while experiencing rough handling during shipping and warehousing of the motor, the motor mount frame having side rails, a front rail, a rear rail, a crossbar on which the motor mounts, the crossbar disposed normal between the side rails at an angle sufficient to orient a mounted motor at an angle with respect to verticle, and a strap around the front rail and crossbar resisting deformation of the crossbar to restrict rotation of the motor during shipping and handling.

Daniel H. Doerr - Acworth GA

International Classification:

B65D 550

US Classification:

229 23C

Abstract:

A cleated corrugated paperboard container is disclosed having a blank of corrugated paperboard scored to define panels for folding to define a container that wraps around a cast iron bathtub having a well with a rim surface and an apron extending along the side of the well from an edge of the rim. Cleats rigidly attach to the side edges of the panels to define a load bearing frame at the ends of the container.

Appl. No.:

7/606929

Inventors:

John M. Grigsby - Marietta GA

Assignee:

North American Container Corporation - Mableton GA

International Classification:

B65D 1300

US Classification:

229 23C

Abstract:

A wood reinforced corrugated paperboard shipping container with interlocking pallet to direct positioning of the container on the pallet and to interlock the container with the pallet. The pallet includes longitudinal runners and cross members. At least one cross member overhangs the side of a lower runner. The overhang portion of the cross member and the side of the runner together define a recess which receives an attaching strip that is connected to a lowermost portion of the wall of the container. In placing the container on the pallet, a beveled upper surface on the overhang portion of the cross member bears against the bottom surface of the attaching strip. The attaching strip thereby moves downwardly and out to move around the outside end of the overhang portion of the cross member and the back into the recess, thereby matingly interlocking the container to the pallet.

Assignee:

North American Container Corporation - Mableton GA

International Classification:

B32B 104

US Classification:

428 76

Abstract:

A structural member formed from a billet, each member comprising a plurality of elongate corrugated paperboard sheets bonded together with an adhesive and disposed between a top and a bottom cap, each cap comprising at least one ply of a fiberboard sheet, a pair of side caps of a solid fiberboard sheet bonded to respective side faces of the paperboard sheet and to the respective edges of the top and bottom caps. The billet comprises a plurality of structural members each separated by a corrugated paperboard rip-out sheet. A method of manufacture is disclosed in which the billet is built up of structural members and rip-out sheets. The billet is then ripped into planks which are ripped along the rip-out sheets to separate the structural members for use as a substitute member for wood cleats or members.

North American Container Corporation - Smyrna GA

International Classification:

B65D 8550

US Classification:

229120

Abstract:

A container for leaf product and other bulk pack materials wherein a first blank of paperboard is bonded to a second blank of paperboard. A field of bores are defined in at least one side wall of the container by a high-speed non-fluted drill for communication of moisture from the container to the atmosphere for drying and long term storage of the leaf products.
