A plastic internally hollow body has a cavity for containing liquids, solids or gases, and includes a main body shaped and having an inner surface at least partially defining the cavity. The inner surface terminates in a shaped edge that delimits a coupling aperture to the cavity. The internally hollow body includes a closure body, having an outer sealing surface suitable at least partially engaging the inner surface of the main body. The closure body at least partially closes the cavity in correspondence of the coupling aperture. The main body is joined to the closure body at least partially along the shaped edge by a joining element over-moulded to the main body and the closure body and covering the over-moulding seat resulting between the main body and the closure body. A method for making the internally hollow body over-moulds the joining element by injection moulding with an over-moulding mould.

A container vessel is described that includes a resiliently deformable wall having a surface area where a majority of the surface area is occupied by a plurality of rigid panes connected by a resilient flexible membrane so that the wall is capable of recovering to an original shape after substantial deformation in either or both a vertical dimension and a horizontal dimension by the application of external pressure and. The primary structural components include: a matrix of rigid panes, each of which is separated by, and connected by, a resilient flexible frame.

An three dimensional article comprising a main body having an inner body and an outer body overlaying at least a portion of the inner body. At least one of the inner body or the outer body is at least partially visible through the other of the inner body or the outer body. An outer surface of the inner body may include at least one surface feature visible through the outer body. The main body may include a base portion, a medial portion, a neck portion, and a rim portion each of the inner body and outer body defining a base portion, medial portion, neck portion, and a rim portion corresponding to the base portion, medial portion, neck portion, and rim portion of the main body.

The present invention provides a packaging container for bulk solids, the container comprising a container body and a container lid. The container body includes wall portions that define a container opening. The lid comprises an upper outer lid surface which includes a slanted lid surface. The upper outer lid surface and the slanted lid surface each having a projected surface in the plane of the container opening. The projected surface of the slanted lid surface constitutes from 40% to 100%, 50% to 90%, or 60% to 80% of the projected surface of the upper outer lid surface. The slanted lid surface is slanted such that when the lid is in a closed position at the container opening, a front end edge of the slanted lid surface is located lower in the height direction of the container than a rear end edge of the slanted lid surface.

A storage basket used for storing and displaying food products and packages in a refrigerator or freezer unit may include a single-material first portion including a bottom wall and an upright wall that extends away from the bottom wall. The bottom wall and the upright wall are imperforate, thereby creating a solid barrier to transfer and fall-through of materials contained in the storage basket. The storage basket may also include a single-material second portion coupled to and extending from the upright wall, and the second portion may include a plurality of perforations. The plurality of perforations may permit airflow around and about the materials contained in the storage basket.

A bracket for securing a plurality of support members for a shipping crate assembly is also disclosed. The bracket forms a corner of the shipping crate assembly. The bracket includes first and second non-identical plates. The first and second non-identical plates are joined along a connection line. The first and second non-identical plates extend perpendicularly from each other. A foot is secured to the first and second non-identical plates, the foot being secured along the connection line.

An installation for supporting a worker on a tank: The tank includes a plurality of vertical staves held to define a peripheral wall by a plurality of hoops. A top bracket at the top hoop has a tie-on receiving fixture for attachment to a worker's tie-on at the outer end of the bracket. The tie-on bracket on the top hoop is shaped to not pivot up and down around the top hoop. At least one lower hoop is located on the side of the tank. Each lower bracket at each lower hoop has a tie-on receiving fixture for attachment to a worker's tie-on at the outer end of the bracket. Each lower bracket is shaped and positioned for being able to be pivoted up and down around its lower hoop. A threaded end region on the end of a hoop segment passes through a hole in the respective bracket. A nut is tightened on the threaded end region for holding the bracket to a junction fixture on the end of a respective hoop segment. The adjacent hoop end regions or hoop segment end regions are held in the junction fixture to form the respective hoop.

A package structure for welding powder has a casing and a casing cover. The casing cover is deposited on the cover. The casing and the casing cover are made of metallic copper. The casing cover has a protruding segment being cylindrical and formed on a bottom surface of the casing cover, and a mounting recess being round and formed in a top surface of the casing cover corresponding to the protruding segment for storing fine welding powder. The package structure has a fire strip deposited on the top surface of the casing cover and extending into the mounting recess via a top opening of the mounting recess, and a sealing sheet deposited on the top surface of the casing cover to hold the fire strip securely with the casing cover and seal the top opening of the mounting recess.

Double-walled decorative articles such as flower vases and candle holders comprise an inner form defining a receptacle and an outer form, spaced apart from the inner form, to create a cavity. A bottom opening in the outer form enables decorative filler materials to be introduced to the cavity such that the decorative materials do not enter into the receptacle, which may contains flowers, water, candles, hot wax or other substances. A removably replaceable plug or cap is used to close off the bottom opening following the introduction of the decorative filler materials. The inner and outer forms may be provided as a unitary item or separate pieces may be joined. The decorative filler materials may be provided in conjunction with the article as part of a kit, in which case the amount of filler material is matched to the volume of the cavity.

A container assembly includes a container body having a side wall encircling an axis, and a metal end for attachment to an upper edge of the side wall via heat-sealing. The outer peripheral region is shaped prior to application to the container body such that an annular channel is defined between an inner chuck wall and an outer chuck wall of the metal end. The metal end is pushed straight onto the side wall such that the upper edge of the side wall is received into the channel. The surfaces of the side wall and the opposing surfaces of the chuck walls have heat-sealable material thereon. The metal end is heated to melt and fuse the heat-sealable layers, thereby sealing the metal end onto the side wall. The metal end is shaped such that the free edge of the outer chuck wall is not exposed.
