A thermal pack for heating or cooling portions of a body and a flow retardant gel for use therein. The thermal pack includes a gel pad and a pressure chamber. The gel includes a fibrous material disposed therein to essentially prevent flow and increase heat capacity.

Detachable protective pad cover for the side of an autombile

There is provided a pneumatic amusement device formed of heat sealable plastic and characterized by an inflatable, ball-like central portion, and a flexible equatorial girdle or rim. An inlet is provided into the cavity and means for plugging the inlet. The device is formed of discs of heat sealable plastic material.

The total container comprises inner and outer container bodies, each closed at the bottom and sides and open at the top. The side margins of the inner container body are sealingly connected to the side margins of the outer container body, and the bottom margin of the container body is sealingly connected to at least one wall of the outer container body. The bottom of the compartment within the inner container body is a substantial distance above the bottom of the outer container body. The upper margins of the inner container body are sealingly connected to upper portions of the walls of the outer container body, so that the inner container body serves as a partition between first and second inflation chambers having valved air flow ports. The upper end of the outer container body may be wrapped up into a spiral formation to seal the compartment and the container as a whole. An article is placed in the compartment, the open end is sealed, and the chambers are inflated, forcing excess air out of the compartment through an outlet port. The stored article is suspended within the compartment, gripped by its walls and spaced from all of the outer parts of the container, which protects it from mechanical shock and moisture. The sealing of the container may be improved by including a resiliently yieldable filler strip within the spiral formation to increase its bulk and hence the sealing pressure.

Container for fragile articles

A container is provided having an improved sealing arrangement to prevent the entry of moisture into the container and the escape of moisture therefrom when it is used to hold a moisture-containing substance. The container includes a first and a second wall integrally joined together along their side and bottom margins while their top margins are separable to form an open container. The first and second walls include a lower portion to house an article and an upper portion to be wrapped into a spiral seal formation. A pair of vertically spaced, elongated closure strips extend laterally across and are secured to the inner surface of the upper portion of the first wall. A first flap member is connected along its edge to the outer surface of the first wall while a second flap member is connected along its edge to the outer surface of the second wall. The flap members include a plurality of snap members. To seal the container, the closure strips are folded over each other in parallel laterally adjacent relation to fold and pinch the upper portion of the second wall. The upper portions of the walls are then wrapped into a spiral formation. The first and second flap members are positioned to surround the spiral seal at its outermost layer. The snap members are connected together at a position contiguously above the spiral formation to maintain the spiral sealing arrangement. Thus, forces acting to unwrap the spiral seal formation are shear forces against which the snap members offer great resistance.

Moisture proof bag closure

A display marker device is provided which has a body sheet with an open-ended sleeve formed along one edge and an edge tab or marker arranged along at least one of the other edges. An elongated member can be inserted in the sleeve for hanging or supporting the sheet. The elongated member can be arranged so that one or both ends can be clamped in an object or supported on spaced members so that the device is suspended. Advertising displays or designs can be printed or adhered to the face of the body sheet or one or more transparent sheets can be joined to the body sheet to form pockets which can hold advertising or informational pages. The display device can also be used as a book marker or a book can be supported by its binding by being draped over the elongated member of the device. A support case which is mountable on a vertical surface such as a wall and sized to receive the marker device and a book supported thereon can be provided. The top of the case is open with the ends spaced to receive the ends of the elongated support member.

Display marker device

A stippled base sheet material with a coating thereon of color differing from the color of the base material is so constructed that when selected stipples are cut off, letters, numbers or other indicia may be formed of a color of the base material in a background the color of the coating. Also, method of making the sheet material, method of making an identification article therefrom, and the identification article are disclosed.
