A fender mounting assembly includes a backing plate and a branch. The backing plate is configured to attach to a slip wall to mount the fender mounting assembly to the slip wall. The branch is configured to hold a fender a predetermined distance away from the slip wall. The branch extends from the backing plate and includes a first section and a second section. The first section has a first end and a second end. The first end is attached to the backing plate. The second section has a third end and a fourth end. The third end is attached to the second end of the first section. When the fender mounting assembly is attached to the slip wall in an upright position via the backing plate, the second section of the branch extends downwardly from the first section of the branch.

Boat docking system

A method and apparatus for controlling the compounding of pharmaceutical parenteral admixtures is disclosed. The apparatus preferably comprises a computer that contains a memory for storing instructions for operating the apparatus and for controlling compounders that prepare a prescription admixture, with the memory including data relating to a plurality of the pharmaceutical components that may be transferred to prepare the prescription admixture, and data concerning the operating characteristics of the compounders that the apparatus is adapted to control. The apparatus determines the order of admixing by general rules of admixing and by categorized compatibility groups of components, so that the number of rinses that must be done are minimized.

Method and apparatus for controlling the strategy of compounding pharmaceutical admixtures

A method of making a thin-walled tubular container. The container defines a head portion with access means to the contents of the container, and a tail portion defining a sealed line in the tail portion, joining sides of the container into a sealed end with a flat plastic piece being formed integral with the sealed line and extending away therefrom. In accordance with this invention, a pair of spaced rod members are formed as an integral part of the flat, plastic piece, the rod members extending transversely of the longitudinal axis of the container. The flat plastic piece also defines a portion thereof between the rod members which is thinner than any remainder of the plastic piece spaced from the rod members. Accordingly, the rod members and intermediate portion therebetween provide an improved and stronger tail seal.

Method of making a flexible, collapsible container for liquids with

A flexible, collapsible container defining a relatively rigid shoulder and neck portion at one end and a relatively rigid base at the other end, and having a flexible tubular wall between the shoulder and the base, utilizes first and second pairs of oppositely-disposed gusset portions defined in the flexible walls and positioned respectively adjacent the shoulder and the base. The gussets are adapted to fold outwardly from the shoulder and base as the container collapses.

Flexible collapsible container defining relatively rigid shoulder and

A flexible, collapsible container having walls essentially 0.01 to 0.03 inch thick and defining relatively thin lines of folding weakness in the container to facilitate flat collapse. The thickness of the lines of folding weakness is less than that of the surrounding walls. The cross-sections of the lines of folding weakness define arcs, the outer surfaces of which have a circumferential length which is 40 to 60 percent greater than the direct width of the lines of folding weakness. Preferably, the container is made of a relatively stiff polyolefin plastic such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or copolymers thereof of similar stiffness, particularly biaxially oriented materials.

Flexible collapsible container

A molded collapsible solution container which may be made from a tubular, plastic parison, defines the body portion having an integral neck portion and shoulder portion at one end thereof and is sealed at its end opposite the one end. In accordance with this invention, gusset portions are defined in the body portion adjacent the shoulder portion. The gusset portions include lines of flexing weakness to facilitate collapse of the container adjacent to the shoulder portion as the contents thereof are withdrawn.

Molded collapsible solution container having gusset portions

A thin-walled tubular container and a mold for making it is disclosed. The container defines a head portion with access means to the contents of the container, and a tail portion defining a sealed line in the tail portion, joining sides of the container into a sealed end with a flat plastic piece being formed integral with the sealed line and extending away therefrom. In accordance with this invention, a pair of spaced rod members are formed as an integral part of the flat, plastic piece, the rod members extending transversely of the longitudinal axis of the container. The flat plastic piece also defines a portion thereof between the rod members which is thinner than any remainder of the plastic piece spaced from the rod members. Accordingly, the rod members and intermediate portion therebetween provide an improved and stronger tail seal. A novel method for making such containers is also shown.

Flexible, collapsible container for liquids with improved tail seal

A protector cap for establishing a sterile seal over a port having a puncturable section in a container wall and a cylindrical neck portion projecting from the periphery of the wall section. The cap comprises a molded housing having a ring-shaped recess for sealingly engaging the neck member and a chamber formed at least in part within a compressible handle portion. The handle portion is compressed prior to inserting the cap on the neck portion of the port and is subsequently released to establish a partial vacuum in the chamber. The partial vacuum assists in retaining the protector cap in position and prevents trapped air from forcing the cap off during subsequent heat-sterilization of the container.
