Benefits of technology

[0006]The embodiments of the present invention pertain to a system for containing associated materials including a container body having at least a first opening enclosed by a removable seal, and means for protectively supporting the container body for substantially preventing impact forces from breaking the removal seal.
[0015]In another embodiment of the subject invention, a method of preserving the integrity of a container seal for a container having one or more walls and at least a first opening hermetically enclosed by the container seal, includes the steps of providing means for jacketing the one or more walls of the container, and strengthening the container from associated impact forces thereby protecting the one or walls from deforming under pressure.

Problems solved by technology

It is noteworthy to mention that in the packaging process, the pop-open cap may be installed before the end plate, since the pop-open cap is naturally more fragile and susceptible to damage.
During handling and shipment, the canisters may be dropped, knocked together or may otherwise collide with other articles.
The inertia deforms the cylindrical tube frequently breaching the hermetic seal and exposing the contents of the canister to ambient conditions.
Even relatively low impact shock can affect the integrity of the canister seal.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]Referring now to the drawings wherein the showings are for purposes of illustrating embodiments of the invention only and not for purposes of limiting the same, FIG. 1 shows a container for holding various articles, depicted generally at 10. The container 10 may be used to package a plurality of articles 13, shown in FIG. 2, for storage or transportation purposes. As such, the container 10 may be generally rigid, or semi rigid. In one embodiment, the container 10 may be a tubular receptacle constructed from metal or metal alloy. Alternatively, paper-based products or other fibrous material may be used to construct the tubular receptacle. However, persons of ordinary skill in the art will readily understand the application of the embodiments of the subject invention to any size or shape of container 10, as well as any material used to construct the container 10. By way of example, the figures depict a generally cylindrical canister 12. The canister 12 may be used to contain rod...

Abstract

A sealed container includes a reinforcing member for protecting the container walls from exposure to damage caused by impact or other forces. The reinforcing member may be a generally concave and rigid member configured to match the end of the container. The reinforcing member may cover the seal of the container and may be removed and replaced with a re-sealing cap. When installed, the reinforcing member may function to strengthen the container by the absorbing shock.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention pertains to devices and systems for packaging products in a sealed container, and more particularly, to containers having a reinforcing member for maintaining the integrity of the container seal.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Many products are shipped to end-users around the globe every day. Some products are stored and packaged in canisters, which may be sealed to prevent the enclosed items from exposure to ambient conditions. Some canisters are hermetically sealed to prevent exposure to air and / or humidity that may oxidize or otherwise corrode the products. These containers help to preserve the freshness of the packaged items. Examples of sealed, packaged products range from edible substances to industrial consumables. One specific type of product relates to welding consumables, and more specifically to welding electrodes. Stick welding is one very common type of welding procedure. The procedure utilizes a finite length welding rod that...
