A fluid collector for collecting fluid from a drain opening such as a motor vehicle crankcase or engine oil pan and a multipackage of the fluid collector and plurality of replacement-fluid containers. The fluid collector in a preferred embodiment comprises a sealed container carrying a folded bag therein. In a certain open condition of the container the bag is capable of receiving a substantial quantity of drain fluid and the container holds the open end of the bag as a funnel for receiving fluid from a drain opening. The container is resealable for transport and disposal of the bag and container with the drained fluid therein.In a preferred embodiment, the container is of the same size as replacement-fluid containers which are to be used to replace the drained fluid. Thus, for example, that embodiment contemplates standard quart oil cans such as used to place oil in motor vehicle engines. In the multipackage, an odd number of oil cans are multipackaged with the fluid collector in a rectangular array as a unitary assembly. The invention further contemplates that the oil cans and fluid collector be multipackaged by a plastic sheet-formed strip having a plurality of container receiving apertures therein, such as is well-known for packaging beer and soft drinks in six-packs.

A package of a tray carrying relatively heavy objects such as an array of beverage cans, and a tube securely circumferentially applied about the tray. The tray has end walls that extend to the tops of the objects in the tray and the upper portions of the end walls are foldable outwardly away from the objects and have hand holds. The ends of the tube securely lap over the tops of the end ranks of objects. That arrangement permits the tray to be carried in a depending hanging condition from either upper end wall portion without having the objects fall from the tray.
摘要:
A packaging method and apparatus for making a package which comprises a generally rectangularly shaped article or group of articles encircled by a broad band of a highly-stretched, resilient, elastic plastics material. The method and apparatus use a plurality of elongated flat rigid arms to stretch the band, permit the article to be placed therein, and to then transfer the high compressive force of the stretched band from the arms to the corners of the article by moving the arms in the flat planes of the inner surface of the stretched band from the article corners toward the centers of the stretched band panels. Low compressive forces between the arms and the inner surfaces of the band then permit the arms to be easily longitudinally slid from the package.
摘要:
A packaging method for unitizing or interlocking a large number of beverage multipackages together on a portable platform or pallet. The invention also comprises an assembly of unitized packages on a portable platform and includes the use of packages with upstanding handles and close slots in the bottom walls thereof which permit the handle of one package to telescope into the close slot of another of the packages. The invention also uses sheets between interlocked packages to unitize adjacent interlocked packages.

摘要:
A package member of a paperboard-like material with handle means at the upper end and with a bifurcated lower end of two flaps. The invention further involves a method for using the package member to make packages with a plurality of container units. The container units can be a single container or a stack of containers. The invention further includes packages of the package member, the plurality of container units, and a broad substantially-tensioned elastic plastics material band encircling and holding the container units with the packaging member together to enable a person to safely carry and jostle the package by holding the handle means with the package depending therefrom.
摘要:
A multi-unit multipackage for beverage type containers or receptacles made of a number of small multipackages such as the well known six-pack, which small multipackages are assembled in vertical stacks and made in to larger multipackages, which larger multipackages are assembled into trays. Features of the multi-unit multipackage inure to the benefit of beverage producers, distributors, retailers and consumers.
摘要:
Multipackages, packaging elements, and the method for making the multipackages wherein the containers of the multipackages are primarily containers having a generally cylindrical shape such as commonly used beverage bottles and cans and wherein the containers are arranged in the well known six or eight pack configurations. The package making elements are a pair of circumferentially continuous bands made from elastic plastic film materials capable of being highly stretched below the elastic limits thereof. The bands are applied in a highly tensioned condition, as opposed to known shrink film arrangements, about the group of containers with the axis of one band disposed vertically and with the axis of the other band disposed horizontally and longitudinally of the group to make a stable package capable of being carried by a person grasping the upper portion of the band arranged with its axis disposed horizontally.

A metal can lid with a push-in opening device for cans having pressurized contents in which the opening device is formed in the lid from the material of the lid and in which the opening device comprises a panel large enough to be pushed into a can to which the lid is applied by a person's finger pushing downwardly on the panel and in which the panel has a folded periphery which remains with the panel as a reinforcement for the panel against bending of the panel as it is pushed downwardly into the can. A portion of the folded periphery is separated by a line of fracture from the lid, and the lid and panel construction are made to avoid sharp exposed edges.
摘要:
A package of a rectangular tray with a rectangular array of generally cylindrical containers carried therein in a conforming pattern with a stretched-tensioned-elastic plastics material tube encircling the bottom and side walls of the tray and the upper portions of the container array. The side walls of the tray are relatively low, and the end walls are relatively high and provided with hand holds. The tensioned tube causes the bottom wall of the tray to be curvilinear about an axis longitudinally and centrally of said package so that the package will not bend downwardly about a transverse central axis of the package when the package is carried by a person grasping the hand holds in the end walls of the tray.
