Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is the Resealable Pop Top Lid. This invention features a pop top lid designed for cylindrical fluid containers. The lid includes an end shell with a scored line that defines a tear panel, a stay-on tab assembly, and a rivet for attaching the assembly to the shell. The stay-on tab assembly has a pocketed tang with a central portion containing a pivot hole for the rivet. The assembly also includes a top cover and bottom plate, which are spaced apart by a gap on the leading edge. An aperture point is connected to the pocketed tang and can be rotated, while a shearing edge is attached to the central portion and extends radially behind the aperture point. The bottom plate is embossed to facilitate the sliding of the shearing edge under the end shell wall when the pocketed tang is rotated, achieving a resealing clamp action by securely placing the embossed shape into the tear panel opening.
Another significant patent is the Dual Acting Pop Top Lid. This container includes an end wall that has a rivet and a frangible score line defining a curved tongue-shaped panel. The frangible score line terminates at each end on a radial line extending from a lever mounting hole formed within the curved tongue-shaped panel. A tab is riveted to the lever-mounting hole to act as a second-degree lever. The tab has a first actuating point extending toward the distal looping portion of the frangible score line. Lifting the first actuating point pulls upward on the curved tongue-shaped panel, imparting a shear force on the frangible score line to initiate upward rolling of an extended portion of the curved tongue-shaped panel.
