Appl. No.:

6/465915

Inventors:

Martin Abrams - Chicago IL

International Classification:

B65D 5502

US Classification:

215230

Abstract:

A tamper-indicating arrangement for a container is disclosed which functions to provide a clear visual indication that the container has been opened. The arrangement includes a closure which is adapted to be fitted to the container, and further includes first and second coacting means for respectively retaining the closure on the container in distinct first and second positions with respect to the container. In this way, the closure can be initially applied to the container in its first position, and can only be reapplied and retained on the container in a reoriented second position. Suitable indicia are preferably provided on the closure and the container for visually indicating reorientation of the closure from its first position to its second position.

Abstract:

A method and apparatus is disclosed for receiving and processing a stack of small documents, such as checks. The documents are stacked in front surface-to-back surface relationship and are singly fed from the stack automatically into a path. The advancement of every two documents is interrupted for a period of time at predetermined positions along the path to effect a selected spacing between the two documents and to align their leading edges. Subsequently, the interruption of the movement of the two documents is terminated to allow the documents to continue forward in a pair at the selected spaced apart distance. The apparatus for effecting this method comprises a document feeder apparatus, a conveyor apparatus defining the document path, and a pair of rotatable gate members which rotate into and out of the path for interrupting the advancement of the documents.

B62B 104

US Classification:

280 40

Abstract:

A luggage carrier is provided with a frame, handle, wheels, and pivotally mounted luggage support platform biased toward a storage position. A linkage arrangement is provided so that the wheels are pivoted to a collapsed, storage position when the platform moves to the storage position. In the storage position, the wheels overlap each other adjacent the frame. A latch is provided for holding the platform and wheels in the open, operative position. The frame is provided in a plurality of sections which can be unfolded to an extended configuration and locked into place. Release of the latch permits the platform and wheels to be automatically moved to the collapsed, storage position and permits one of the frame sections to be pivoted downwardly to a collapsed position.

Abstract:

A process is provided for the opening of envelopes made of cellulosic paper by the action of a chemical degradation agent in the presence of radiant heat in which the radiant heat is generated from a source maintained at a temperature high enough to produce a substantial amount of radiation having a wave length of 2 microns or less and by applying to the edges to be opened a darkening material capable of absorbing a substantial portion of the incident radiant energy.
