| 20120228313 | Container with inner wall elevation line for mixing, homogenizing, aerating and emulsifying - A container for material storage or mixing has inner wall or walls and a bottom and a top that is either fixed or removable. The inner wall has at least one or more inward elevation lines or elevated pattern formations. The elevation lines or patterns can be part of either the wall structure or a removable piece which is placed inside the container against the inner walls. The elevation line interrupts the flow or movement of content along the surface of the inner wall during mixing motion generated by a human hand or a mechanical device. The interruption creates local turbulence near the elevated line and therefore results in the content materials mixing, grinding, homogenizing, aerating or emulsifying. | 09-13-2012 |

| 20100140280 | Bottle made from bioresin - A method of making a bottle whereby a polylactic acid preform is stretch blow molded into a biodegradable bioresin bottle. An injection molded polylactic acid or polylactide preform having a finish, a transition portion, a body portion, and a closed end cap portion for making a blow molded biodegradable bioresin bottle having a substantially circular cross-section and a substantially elliptical cross-section. A biodegradable bioresin bottle having both substantially circular and substantially elliptical cross-sectional shapes. Hoop stiffness and bottle geometry are utilized to control the bottle shape resulting from deformation caused by vacuum creation as water vapor permeates outwardly through the bottle walls. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20110266293 | Deformable Container With Hoop Rings - Method and system for handling a plurality of hot-filled and capped containers having temporary deformations or distortions caused by vacuums induced in the containers. For each container, temporary deformations are confined or directed to a particular portion of the container. Annular hoop rings can be provided to confine the temporary deformations to a smooth sidewall portion of the container between the annular hoop rings. Alternatively, one or more supplemental vacuum panels can be provided to confine or direct the temporary deformation thereto. The annular hoop rings and the one or more supplemental vacuum panels can provide for substantially stable touch points for the container. The containers are conveyed with temporary deformations such that substantially stable contact points of each container are in contact with corresponding substantially stable contact points of other containers. After the conveying, a moveable element in a bottom end of each container is activated substantially permanently to remove the vacuum in the container. | 11-03-2011 |
