A reclosably sealed cup including a cup having a sealing perimeter, a lid having a reclosable sealing arrangement, associated with the sealing perimeter. The lid is adapted to reclosably cover the cup, and the reclosable sealing arrangement adapted to reclosably seal the cup along the sealing perimeter. The reclosably sealed cup further includes an interfacial arrangement, interdisposed between the sealing perimeter and the reclosable sealing arrangement. The interfacial arrangement has a first surface disposed towards, and forming a base adhesive attachment with, the sealing perimeter, and a second surface, distal to the first surface, disposed towards the reclosable arrangement, and forming a reclosable adhesive attachment therewith.

A method of forming a part from a blank includes positioning the blank within a forming die. Water is introduced between the blank and the forming die. The water is heated to form steam between the blank and the forming die. The blank is reshaped within the forming die to form the part while the steam is disposed between the blank and the forming die. The steam forms a cushion between the blank and the forming die to reduce friction therebetween. A lubricant is not applied to the blank prior to being positioned in the forming die. Therefore, the formed part does not require a washing step after being formed.

Container for packing of liquid, pasty or solid substances or small parts with a cup made of plastic, which is liquid-tight and can be sealed with a sealing film made of plastic. The container has a cover with a stable, plastic edge part, which can be detached from the cup and attached liquid-tight to the upper edge of the container, on the surface of which sealing film can be welded on liquid-tight.

A container includes a cup formed to include and interior region and an insulated sleeve. The insulated sleeve is coupled to an outer surface of the cup.

An injection moulding tool with at least one cavity for producing thin-walled, container-like injection-moulded products, in particular cups, tubes, tube heads, vials, bottle blanks or syringes. The injection moulding tool comprises a die holding plate, which has at least one cavity-forming die; a core holding plate, which has at least one core unit with a cavity-forming core; at least one stripping ring for stripping the injection-moulded product off the at least one core, with the at least one stripping ring arranged between the core holding plate and the die holding plate; and at least one adjustable core centring device for the fine alignment of the at least one core in the at least one die. The stripping ring is held in a floating manner in a stripping plate, which is arranged between the die holding plate and the core holding plate; and the at least one adjustable core centring device is arranged between the core unit and the core holding plate.

A double diner pet food bowl assembly may include first and second dog bowls, and a base portion. The base portion may include first and second opposing ends, and a medial portion separating the first and second opposing ends. Each of the first and second opposing ends may define a receptacle configured to respectively receive the first and second dog bowls. The base portion may have an anti-skid feature on a bottom surface of the base portion and extending between the first and second first opposing ends.

The invention relates to use of polylactide (PLA) as an extruded polymer coating on paper or board intended for the production of containers and packages, which are heated in a stove or microwave oven. According to the invention a polyfunctional cross-linking agent, such as trialkyl isocyanurate (TAIC), is blended with PLA, and the extruded coating layer is subjected to cross-linking electron beam (EB) radiation. PLA may be used as such or blended with another biodegradable polyester such as polybutylene succinate (PBS). EB radiation has been found to improve adhesion of the coating to the paper or board substrate, heat-scalability of the coating, and heat-resistance of the finished containers and packages.

A device for thermoforming containers, the device having mold blocks mounted to move in translation. An example embodiment may include at least first and second analogous mold blocks, a counter-mold, means for causing a thermoplastic material to advance along an advance axis, and two labeling blocks. The mold blocks can be moved in a first movement between a thermoforming level and a disengagement level. The mold blocks can also be moved in a second movement along an axis transverse to the advance axis so as to place each mold facing in succession the counter-mold and one of the labeling blocks.

A method and apparatus for the formation of double-walled containers with the structure of two integrally connected and adjacent containers extending in the same direction with an air gap between them, stretch-blow moulded as single bodies out of thermoplastic material, and suitable for mass-production. A thermoplastic tubular blank is formed and then heat-conditioned. The heat-conditioned tubular blank is then mechanically stretched longitudinally and blow-formed outwards by gas pressure to conformingly and stretchingly assume the tubular blank to the shape of a first dual-container shaped mould cavity set in order to form a stretch-blow moulded first container integrally connected to a second container, with both containers extending in opposite directions. Next, additional heat-conditioning is applied to further heat-condition as necessary the stretch-blow moulded second container and if deemed an advantage, at least part of the first container. Then at least one profiled inversion piston and a second dual-container shaped mould cavity set are provided along with one or more wall stability devices applied to at least part of the wall surface(s) of either or both of the two integrally connected stretch-blow moulded containers, such that the second container side wall(s) may be inverted at least partially inside-out, while at the same time the second container bottom wall at least substantially does not invert, in order for the second container to become a substantially mirror-image inverted second container extending in the same direction as the first container, and an air gap is formed between the first container and second container.

A formed body having a multilayered structure including inner and outer layers of a first ethylene terephthalate type polyester resin, and an oxygen-absorbing intermediate layer containing a non-polymer type organic oxygen absorber. The oxygen-absorbing intermediate layer, further, contains a second ethylene terephthalate type polyester resin that has relatively more copolymerizable units than the first ethylene terephthalate type polyester resin, the non-polymer type organic oxygen absorber being contained therein in an amount of not less than 5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the second ethylene terephthalate type polyester resin.
