A tank that includes a tank wall composed of a plastic material, and at least one reinforcing profile member configured to minimize deformation of the plastic tank. The at least one reinforcing profile member is configured for arrangement on an outer side of the tank wall to be engaged by the tank wall and establish a positive material bond connection therewith. The at least one reinforcing profile member has a retaining geometry region with a plurality of openings through and/or into which material of the tank wall extends and onto a rear side of the reinforcing profile member facing away from the tank wall to thereby establish the positive material bond connection between the tank wall and the at least one reinforcing profile member at the retaining geometry region.

A corrugated plastic box and a method for manufacturing a corrugated plastic box from a blank are provided. The method includes the steps of forming rounded edge seals on the perimeter edges of the blank, pre-sealing portions of the blank to form a plurality of areas in which major and minor flap slots and a glue tab are desired, ultrasonically scoring the blank to form a plurality of flap score lines, and cutting the blank through the plurality of pre-sealed flap slots and glue tab, leaving a sealed edge.

A container for storing perishable contents comprising an inner storage chamber defining top and bottom ends and comprising a floor at the bottom end thereof and an inner wall extending from the floor towards an opening at the top end thereof. The floor and the inner wall defining a storage cavity therebetween. An outer wall covers the inner wall and downwardly extends from a junction therewith at or near the top end of the storage chamber towards a bottom edge thereof at or near the bottom end of the storage chamber. The outer wall and the inner wall are spaced apart to define an air channel therebetween for receiving air. The bottom edge of the outer wall and the floor of the storage chamber define an opening therebetween leading to the air channel. The air channel provides for allowing a layer of air between the outer wall and inner wall to act as insulation for the perishable contents.

The invention is directed to straight, consistent body scores on plastic corrugated boxes and a process for making the body scores.

The present invention relates in general to the improved containment of biological fluids. In particular, a method and apparatus for collection and preservation of fluid samples in accordance with the present invention results in collection of semen having improved viability both at the time of collection and after storage. The disclosed methods and apparatuses methods support a wide variety of applications for containment of biological fluids related to human and veterinary medicine including, but not limited to, human reproductive medicine and animal husbandry.

A double barrel for hazardous goods with an outer barrel of plastic and an inner barrel of plastic received in the outer barrel. The body of the outer barrel is formed of a first barrel part and a second barrel part. The first barrel part has a first connecting area and the second barrel part has a second connecting area that is complementary to the first connecting area. The first and the second barrel part are firmly connected to each other via the connecting areas in an assembled state by means of a circumferential plastic weld seam.

A corrugated plastic box and a method for manufacturing a corrugated plastic box from a blank are provided. The method includes the steps of forming rounded edge seals on the perimeter edges of the blank, pre-sealing portions of the blank to form a plurality of areas in which major and minor flap slots and a glue tab are desired, ultrasonically scoring the blank to form a plurality of flap score lines, and cutting the blank through the plurality of pre-sealed flap slots and glue tab, leaving a sealed edge.

Containers for holding particulate materials are provided. The containers may be formed from molded pulp. The containers may included molded pulp shaped or threaded features formed integrally on the container that may aid in providing closure to the device. The containers may optionally include a fitment and/or liner, or may be free of fitments and liners. The containers may optionally have inner load bearing members. The containers may be stackable
