Filed:

Feb 15, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/397665

Inventors:

Thomas Cooper Riley - Pennsville NJ, US

International Classification:

A45D 40/12

US Classification:

206385

Abstract:

A container protection apparatus comprises a protector and one or more flanges disposed along a circumference of the lower end of the protector. The flanges extend inwardly toward a central axis of the protector and flex about the lower end of the protector. An expandable longitudinal slot runs down the length of the protector from its upper end to its lower end. When the protector is coaxially positioned, force fitted, and moved down the length of the container having a wheel at its lower end, till the lower end of the protector projects beyond a lower edge of the wheel, the width of the longitudinal slot narrows, the inner surface of the protector snap-fits around the outer surface of the container, and the flanges engage with a cylindrical surface and a lower surface of the wheel, thereby preventing the wheel from being inadvertently turned.

Abstract:

A pest repellent article for dispensing a repellent composition to a receptacle or area to be protected is disclosed. The pest repellent article comprises an outer cover and an inner porous removable pest repellent composition carrier member. The repellent composition carrier is formed of a compact absorbent structure and is impregnated with a volatile pest repellent composition. The outer cover or envelope completely encloses the repellent composition carrier member and is formed of a flexible, puncturable, tearable material substantially impermeable to the repellent composition and the vapors thereof. The outer cover is releasably sealed about the inner porous pest repellent composition carrier member and can be opened to remove the inner porous repellent composition carrier member. The inner porous pest repellent composition carrier member is releasably sealed whereby the composition carrier member can be opened to release the volatile repellent composition carrier.

Thomas C. Riley - Salem NJ

International Classification:

B23K 900
B23K 3106

US Classification:

219 61

Abstract:

In a welding procedure for joining of adjacent, possibly partially enclosed metal components, such as pipe sections, wherein the welding procedure can be of a gas tungsten arc type such as a heli-arc type, or similar process, and wherein oxidation of metal frequently occurs within the components at the joinder point due to presence of oxygen in the region of weld during the welding procedure; introducing under pressure and at least initially pressure blowing, at a relatively high pressure, an inert gas into the interior of the components in a substantial swirling and interior surface wiping motion. The inert gas is blown through the components, from the entry end, beyond the weld region to rapidly, and substantially completely remove from the interior and weld region, any oxygen or other possible deleterious gas or material. Subsequently a lower pressure introduction of gas will serve to maintain the interior free of oxygen and the like. This procedure permits a clean, rapid welding of the elements in the absence of a build-up of undesired metal at the weld or juncture point, or undesired disturbance of the weld puddle which could cause defects in the weld.

Thomas J. Riley - Bradford MA

International Classification:

E04C 232

US Classification:

52801

Abstract:

An overlay structure for protecting and covering of existing interior and exterior frame works such as windows and doors having a plurality of frame members including the sill of window frame members. The overlay structure includes a flexible elongated laminar member having an outer facing layer and an inner facing layer. The outer facing layer is provided with a generally planar outer surface and the inner facing layer is corrugated to provide a plurality of elongated parallel grooves and ridges. The corrugated inner facing layer operates to provide the overlay structure with elongated structural flexibility so as to be easily and readily bent and cut to conform to the structural configuration of a window frame member to be covered. Suitable fastening means for fastening the overlay structure to an existing frame member can, for example, be nails, screws, staples, adhesives and glue of combinations thereof. The inner and outer facing layers are preferably formed of a highly flexible plastic material and can be formed as a unitary structure or as two separate members which are sealed together.
