A garbage bag retaining clip apparatus for securing garbage bag excess includes a housing having an open front side separated from an open back side, a top side separated from an open bottom side, and a left side separated from a right side defining a housing inside. A bag gate is flexibly coupled within the housing inside. The bag gate is biased to rest in the pinch position. A plurality of parallel retaining ridges is coupled to the housing. Each of the retaining ridges extends vertically from the right side and the left side within the housing inside. A tab is coupled to the housing. The tab proximal end has a hinge extending between the left side and the right side proximal the top side and the back side. The tab moves between a locked position engaged within the retaining ridges and a released position extending behind the housing.

An insulated bag includes a pair of opposing main panels; and a pair of opposing side panels, each side panel attached to each main panel, the main panels and the side panels defining a bag cavity within the insulated bag; the main panels and the side panels defined in an insulated blank, the insulated blank including a first paper layer; and a paper fiber pad coupled to the first paper layer, the paper fiber pad having paper reinforcement fibers interlocked with about 2% to about 25% by weight of a meltable PE/PP bi-component thermoplastic binder fiber distributed substantially randomly, wherein subjecting the repulpable shipping container to a repulpability test produces greater than 85% fiber yield.

A cover for sealing a container includes a body, re-sealable seal that can be unsealed and sealed, and an adhesive configured to adhere the body to a container. A method of closing a container includes providing a container and a cover, opening the container to provide an opening in an end of the container, adhering the cover to the end of the container, and sealing an end of the cover.

Method for packaging electrical insulators (4) for high voltage or very high voltage, such as electrical line insulators made with a dielectric material chosen from glass or porcelain, and more specifically, electrical insulators with a protective hydrophobic silicone elastomer coating covering the surface of the electrical insulators, under vacuum or under inert gas.

Provided are a cylindrical container inner bag and a composite container using the cylindrical container inner bag for the purpose of easily filling the cylindrical container inner bag housed in a cylindrical container with a filler to the substantially same capacity as that of the cylindrical container. The cylindrical container inner bag formed in such a manner that one or more films folded back or overlapping with each other are closed at least at a right or left end portion or a lower portion has a filler housing portion and a support mechanism portion positioned below the filler housing portion. The support mechanism portion has a support mechanism configured to regulate the position of the bottom of the inner bag in a cylindrical container.

A bag closure system includes a bag having a top end and a bottom end, and an elastic band having an anchored end and a free end, where the anchored end is fixed proximate the bottom end of the bag. The free end of the elastic band is configured to be stretched around the top end and the bottom end of the bag while the anchored end remains fixed proximate to the bottom end. The elastic band may be made of natural rubber and a permanent adhesive or thermal bond may be used to fix the anchored end proximate the bottom end of the bag. In addition, a visual fold line may be provided diagonally at each of the corners of the bag, and a visual first lateral fold line and a spaced apart visual second lateral fold line provided on the body of the bag.

An isolation shroud adapted to enclose and protect a medical gas tank against contamination, which is further replaceable between patients to prevent cross-contamination, comprising a sleeve portion with an open end and interior space, and a hood portion with a hood lower opening, adapted to enclose the body and upper end of the medical gas tank respectively. The hood portion is attached to and is continuous with a sleeve order surrounding the open end of the sleeve portion, allowing the open end and sleeve border to be simultaneously lifted to enclose the body and open end respectively. The hood portion further has a hood front opening, allowing a hose to extend from the medical gas tank outwardly through either the hood lower opening or front opening. A fastener attached to the hood portion further allows the hood lower opening to be sealed against the sleeve portion.
