| 20080308567 | TML inspection port - The device subject of this disclosure pertains to an insulated pipe or vessel including a single piece inspection plug device having a plug component attachable to an insulating structure and forming an aperture for access to an insulated pipe or vessel, a strap component attaching a lid component to the plug component, and that the lid component can be inserted into the aperture. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090057326 | CONTAINER SEAL - A seal for a container of fine particulate materials that includes a sifter insert. The seal comprises a base that is secured over a plurality of holes in the insert by a releasable pressure-sensitive adhesive. A pull tab extends outwardly from an upper surface of said base. The pull tab is fixedly adhered to the upper surface of the base and extends outwardly away from a mid-section thereof. The pull tab is pivotable through 180 degrees about its connection point with the base and remains fixedly secured thereto when a pulling force is applied to the pull tab. The adhesive bond between the base and the insert is weaker than the adhesive bond between the pull tab and the base. Consequently, a pulling force applied to the pull tab removes the base from the insert and permits particulate material to be dispensed through the holes in the insert. | 03-05-2009 |
