Appl. No.:

8/305939

Inventors:

Steven P. Ettore - Marietta GA

Assignee:

21st Century Containers, Ltd. - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

B65D 3556

US Classification:

222105

Abstract:

A lined container includes a rigid-walled vessel having a discharge port, a flexible liner having a discharge fitment, and an adapter for connecting the discharge fitment to the discharge port of the vessel. The adapter includes a tubular member having a coaxial bore and a set of male, tapered threads for engaging with female, tapered threads of the discharge fitment of the flexible liner. The adapter also includes a flange member for accommodating a sealing ring abutted against an inner wall of the rigid walled vessel. A method of inserting the liner and adapter into the rigid vessel includes guiding the adapter (with liner attached), using a guide leash, through a top aperture, into the vessel, and then out the vessel through the discharge port (leaving just the liner inside).

Appl. No.:

7/710027

Inventors:

Sidney H. Dunken - Jonesboro GA
Joseph J. Lane - Statesboro GA
Jack E. Harris - Smyrna GA

Assignee:

21st Century Containers, Ltd. - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

B65D 9000

US Classification:

220661

Abstract:

A bulk shipping and storage container for liquids or dry powders comprising a rigid, round, plastic vessel, molded in one piece, and a lid for the vessel. Preferably, these parts are molded of poly(dicyclopentadiene), using the reaction injection molding (RIM) process. The lateral wall of the vessel is inclined inwardly from top to bottom so as to define an upper truncated conical section and lower truncated conical section coaxial with the upper section. The lateral wall is equipped with means for securing the lid to the top of the vessel. A recess is formed in the lateral wall of the vessel and this recess can be tapped with a threaded drainage hole to receive a threaded drain valve. The vessel's bottom is sloped towards this recess to permit complete draining of the container's contents. The container may be mounted on a pallet member or seated in a tub.

Assignee:

K & S Industries, Inc. - Fort Worth TX

International Classification:

A01D 5518
B26B 2700

US Classification:

30276

Abstract:

A flexible line trimmer for cutting vegetation having a rotary drive for swinging a nylon line, and a device for feeding out additional line while rotating. A housing with an actuator button on its bottom is carried by the drive shaft. A spool having drive teeth formed on one side is carried in the housing. An actuator is mounted reciprocally in the housing and has a pin for engaging the drive teeth to cause the spool to rotate with the housing. An actuator shaft extends between the button and the actuator for disengaging the pin when the button is depressed. Guide teeth on the spool guide the pin back into engagement with the next drive tooth, incrementingly advancing the line.
