A method for manufacturing a vessel configured for housing a fluid within, the method including: providing at least two at least partially cured fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) structures with complementary shapes configured for matching with each other such that an interior volume is defined when the at least partially cured FRP structures are coupled to each other; coupling the at least partially cured FRP structures to each other such that the interior volume is defined; winding at least one layer of FRP material onto at least a portion of the at least partially cured FRP structures once coupled to each other; and applying a curing cycle to cure the resulting assembly.

A method for manufacturing a bowl and a glass bowl are disclosed. A high borosilicate glass bowl is manufactured with high borosilicate glass, which has characteristics of high hardness, high light transmittance, high chemical stability, cold and hot shock resistance, and the like. A radian of a bottom is measured by a laser scanner, so that an accurate molding die can be manufactured by a numerical control machine tool. A solid rubber compound is mixed by a mixing mill, and then a vulcanizing agent and a silica gel masterbatch are added to obtain a silicone rubber raw material. The silicone rubber raw material is taken out according to a preset weight, then put together with the high borosilicate glass bowl into a molding vulcanizer. Vulcanization compression molding is performed to obtain a high borosilicate glass bowl with an anti-slip silica gel bottom.

A method of thermoforming a container includes forming a lid having a lid rim, and forming a base including a base rim. The method also includes forming a foldable section that joins the lid rim and the base rim and includes a lid hinge panel extending from the lid rim to a hinge and a base hinge panel extending from the base rim to the hinge. The method also includes forming a frangible line that extends from an edge of the lid hinge panel, across a portion of the lid hinge panel to a first point, from the first point across the lid hinge panel to the hinge, across the hinge, across the base hinge panel from the hinge to a second point on the base hinge panel, and from the second point across a portion of the base hinge panel to an outside edge of the base hinge panel.

A package (2; 3) for an object is provided having a bottom shell (21; 31); a top shell (22; 32) having a closure portion (24; 34) referred to as a “cap”, and a connection portion (23; 33) in the form of a hollow body and connected to the closure portion (24) by a hinge (25) to enable the closure portion (24; 34) to tilt relative to the connection portion (23; 33) in order to release access to the inside of the bottom shell (21; 31) through the connection portion (23; 33). The connection portion (23; 33) is provided with a stiffener element (290; 390) and a sealing strip (4; 4′) connects together the edges (241, 231) of the cap (24; 34) and of the connection portion (23; 33) that face each other over the entire length of said edges. Said connection portion (23; 33) of the top shell (22; 32) and of the bottom shell (21; 31) are two parts that are fastened to each other, preferably by bonding.

A re-sealable container is disclosed having a lid, a body, an attachment mechanism, and a seal. The seal may extend from, or be attached to, the lid and engage at least a portion of the body, such as the side wall, including the body sealing surface and/or the lip. The engagement of the seal and body creates a seal that prevents the ingress of moisture and ambient conditions into an interior space of the body. The attachment mechanism may retain the lid in a seated, closed position on the body. The configuration of the seal and attachment mechanism accommodate a degree of error in the joining and placement of the lid and body while allowing for both the formation of a seal between the lid and body and the locking of the lid when the lid is in a closed position.

Structures for supporting the filling of wells, in particular in microfluidic devices and provides a microfluidic device, comprising a substrate with at least a first horizontal channel which continues as a first vertical chimney channel into a first well having a greater depth than the first horizontal channel with respect to an upper surface of the substrate, wherein the first vertical channel is half open to the volume of the first well. A method for filling a well of a microfluidic device using the device is also an object of the disclosure.

A blood bag system is equipped with a blood collection bag in which blood is accommodated, a parent bag and a child bag in which blood components separated from the blood are accommodated, and flow paths that connect the blood collection bag and the parent bag. The blood collection bag, the parent bag, the child bag, and the flow paths are formed integrally by a first sheet body and a second sheet body that is superimposed on the first sheet body, and meandering sections which are repeatedly folded back on themselves are provided in the flow paths.

A basket assembly is provided. The basket assembly includes a molded basket body having opposed side walls with minimal draft angles. The basket body defines a front opening for receiving fluid and items, an interior area of receiving and holding the items, and a plurality of perforations for allowing the fluid to escape the interior area while retaining the items within the interior area. The perforations are placed, oriented, sized, and configured to maximize fluid flow and item retention while the basket assembly is positioned in flowing fluid of a washing machine wash tank. Support pins retain the basket assembly at the top of the wash tank and handles extending therebetween facilitate removal of the basket assembly from the wash tank.

A two cell container device the device includes a first housing and configured to house a liquid, the first housing including a body, wherein the body further comprises an annular form with an interior reservoir for the liquid and a central through-hole and a mouth portion providing access to the interior receptacle. The two cell container device includes a second housing, the second housing secured within the through-hole, the second housing configured to house at least a pill, wherein the second housing includes a first side including at least a pill receptacle having an opening and a second side adhered to the first side, wherein the second side covers the opening.

Method of forming a container having a rolled rim, including providing a thermoformable sheet, and thermoforming the sheet to form a hollow body. The hollow body has an open first end and an opposite closed second end with a sidewall extending between the first end and the second end, and a rim structure formed at the first end of the hollow body. The rim structure includes an inner wall portion, a flange, and a skirt. The method further includes coining an upper section of the inner wall portion of the rim to form a controlled inner diameter, and rolling the rim structure to form a rigid rolled rim along an outer diameter of the open first end of the hollow body, the skirt extending toward the sidewall after being rolled.
