20150329238 | CONTAINER END CLOSURE WITH OPTIONAL SECONDARY VENT OPENING - The present invention relates to an opening device for a beverage container. More specifically, the invention relates to a metal end closure having a primary opening area and at least one optional secondary vent opening which can be opened with the same pull tab. The primary opening area and the secondary vent opening area are defined by a score line which is interrupted by a check slot to inhibit propagation of a fracture along the score line. | 11-19-2015 |
20160023821 | Vented Metallic Container End Closure - A metallic container end closure is provided that generally comprises a dispensing opening and a vent opening. The vent opening improves pourability through the dispensing opening and provides an alternative option for consuming the contents of the container. The end closure may include features to ease opening of the vent opening, such as stiffeners and/or vent form features. Additionally, the end closure may include various safety features, such as a safety fold. In some configurations, the container end closure does not include a pull tab for opening. | 01-28-2016 |

20110260427 | SOUND MAKER FOR USE ON A BICYCLE - A sound generating apparatus includes a substantially U-shaped member having first and second panels, inner surface and outer surfaces. An arcuate section can be positioned on the inner surface of the U-shaped member for receiving and frictionally engaging a part of a bicycle fork. Two hollow ear sections can be positioned on the outer surface of the U-shaped member, each of the ear sections having an outer side and an inner side whereby exerting pressure on the outer sides of the ear sections widens an opening defined by the arcuate section to receive the bicycle fork part, and releasing the pressure on the ear sections allows the arcuate section to tighten around the bicycle fork part and frictionally engage the bicycle fork part. The arcuate section can define an arc of about 220 degrees. | 10-27-2011 |

20080298765 | Terminal with internal environmental seal - An environmentally sealed closure, such as a terminal for terminated ends of fiber optic cables, includes a housing having a wall defining an interior volume. A floating sealing assembly is provided including a first plate, a seal member and a second plate arranged in a stack within the interior volume. The seal member has an outer sealing edge for contacting the wall of the housing, which may be straight and/or chamfered. Fiber optic cables extend through the sealing assembly so that the terminated ends are within the splice area. The floating sealing assembly is compressed so as to place the outer sealing edge of the seal member in sealing contact with the wall of the housing. When a pressure differential exists between the splice area and the outside of the housing only one of the first or second plates moves along the longitudinal axis to further compress the seal member and increase sealing between the outer sealing edge and the housing wall. | 12-04-2008 |
