US Patent:

6499271, Dec 31, 2002

Filed:

Jun 22, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/599827

Inventors:

Mark S. Lastovich - Rockford MI
Perry R. DeYoung - Ada MI

Assignee:

Oliver Products Company - Grand Rapids MI

International Classification:

B65B 5110

US Classification:

533292, 533737

Abstract:

A container and lid sealing apparatus comprising a frame structure including a sealing position, support beams, a shiftable container support which includes a container retainer and shiftable on drawer rails from a position for loading and unloading a container into and out of the retainer, to the sealing position for sealing a lid on the tray, an upper heater platen suspended above the tray support, and an actuator actuable to force the upper heater platen downwardly with force onto a container and lid on the support. The force is equally distributed on all portions of the platen to seal a lid onto a container. The actuator may be either a manual actuator or an air actuator. The actuator is multi-axially pivotally coupled to the platen to thereby allow the platen to rock and seek and obtain a parallel relation with the container flange and lid.

International Classification:

B65D 2732

US Classification:

206438

Abstract:

A sterilizable package for medical objects or the like, comprising, a first layer of material, a second layer of film on said first layer, a third layer having a preformed blister formed from film on said second layer, the layers being sealed together in a peripheral seal to form a space between the second and third layers for an object, the seal between the first layer and the second and third layers being releasable by tensile separation of the first layer from the second and third layers, and the second layer having a breakable perforation line at the space whereby the second layer can be broken at the perforation line to expose a portion of the object for direct presentation of the object from one person to another person.

Mark S. Lastovich - Rockford MI
Perry R. DeYoung - Grand Rapids MI

Assignee:

Oliver Products Company - Grand Rapids MI

International Classification:

B65B 728

US Classification:

53329

Abstract:

A container and lid sealing apparatus comprising a frame structure including a sealing position, support beams, a shiftable container support which includes a container retainer and shiftable on drawer rails from a position for loading and unloading a container into and out of the retainer, to the sealing position for sealing a lid on the tray, the drawer rails being vertically depressible with the container support, when under vertical force, to move it down onto the support beams, an upper heater platen suspended above the tray support, and an air actuator actuable to force the upper heater platen downwardly with force onto a container and lid on the support. The force is equally distributed on all portions of the platen to seal a lid onto a container. A cam switch is positioned to be actuated by the support in the sealing position for controlled activation of an air logic system to the actuator. A gas spring is connected between the support and frame for biasing the support toward the load-unload position, for ejection of the support upon deactivation of the air actuator.

Appl. No.:

9/070583

Inventors:

Mark S. Lastovich - Rockford MI
Perry R. DeYoung - Grand Rapids MI
Scott D. Sikkema - East Grand Rapids MI

Assignee:

Oliver Products Company - Grand Rapids MI

International Classification:

B26D 330

US Classification:

83870

Abstract:

A bagel slicer generally comprising a base, a flexible connector, a lid and a knife. The base has upwardly projecting bagel retention protrusions and two end walls attached to opposing ends of the base which define a bagel receiving space. Between the walls there is a first plurality of elongated side members in a parallel spaced relationship to each other, and a second plurality of elongated side members in a parallel spaced relationship to each other and to the first plurality of elongated side members. Each elongated member is engaged with the walls such that there remains slots between them to insert a knife. A flexible connector is attached to the lid and one of the walls. The flexible connector allows the lid to be shiftable angularly away from or toward the bagel receiving space to facilitate removal or insertion of the bagel into the space, and to shift directly vertically for optimum engagement with bagels of different thicknesses to contact a substantial portion of the bagel for optimum stabilization of the bagel.

US Classification:

428 35

Abstract:

The specification discloses a disposable packet containing a substance to be released upon subjection of the packet to water. The pouch includes a water-soluble paper envelope with the substance sealed therein. The interior surfaces of the envelope are coated with adhesive in a discontinuous or disconnected pattern, so that the adhesive does not significantly impede dissolution of the envelope. The adhesive is activated in selected areas to seal the envelope.
