A protector for sheet metal coil is formed of plastic with a flange and sleeve which are joined together at a ridge portion. The protectors incorporate symmetrically disposed groupings of stacking features or components which include a finger within a stacking access opening, a stacking tab, and a stacking opening. The fingers are employed to resiliently engage the inner surface of a core of a coil and incorporate a receiver surface for freely abuttable engagement with a stacking tab of a second protector when arranged in mutual stacking relationship. The stacking openings function for stacking purposes to receive the protruding finger of a next stack protector.

A polymeric cradle having a base with a rectangular receiving surface emulating the surface of a brick. From the center of this receiving surface there extends a valve receptor of generally hexagonal cross section formed with oppositely disposed valve receiving mouths and generally oppositely disposed standards functioning to align the cradle within the saddle portion of a curb box and to align a valve stem of a valve supported at the mouths. The mouths are configured so as to permit universal utilization with a wide variety of valve configurations and sizes.

A split ring clamp for retaining a lid upon an enclosure such as a plastic or fibrous drum is provided which is formed entirely of polymeric material such as a high molecular weight, high density polyethylene copolymer. The assemblage includes two parts, a channel-form split ring and a pivot arm joining the two ends of the split ring together over the rim structure of a container. One end of the ring supports an integrally formed pivot shaft receiving notch as well as an outwardly extending toe with a rearwardly disposed contact surface. The opposite side of the ring is formed having a receiver channel within which there is provided an inwardly depending toe with a rearwardly facing contact surface. The pivot arm is formed having a transversely disposed arm pivot shaft and a ring pivot shaft receiving notch having a shaft access opening which is outwardly disposed and extends to a shaft bearing surface. Such an arrangement permits a more thin profile for the ring and pivot arm assembly.

A clamping ring for retaining a lid upon an enclosure such as a fibrous drum is provided which is formed entirely of polymeric material such as a high molecular weight, high density polyethylene copolymer. The assemblage includes only two parts, a channel formed split ring and a pivot arm joining the two ends of the split ring together over the rim structure of the container. One end of the ring supports an integrally formed pivot shaft receiving notch and the opposite end of the ring is configured having a receiver channel with spaced-apart sides and an outwardly disposed opening. The inwardly-facing internal surfaces of the receiver channel are slideably movable in adjacency over the side surfaces of the opposite side of the ring and a ring pivot shaft extends between the spaced-apart sides of the receiver channel. The pivot arm cooperates with the split ring and has a pivot end formed with a transversely disposed arm pivot shaft and a ring shaft receiving notch spaced therefrom. The arm pivot shaft is configured for slideable engagement with the ring receiving notch and the ring shaft receiving notch is configured for slideably receiving the ring second end pivot shaft.

A lid for use with containers such as drums, pails, tubs and cups which is formed as a singular unit from molded plastic and which incorporates a peripherally disposed skirt configured along with a rim structure to provide primary and secondary latching features. A parting groove is positioned within the skirt assembly in conjunction with a tear ring which functions to remove the primary latching assembly following the initial closure of the container with the lid. Prior to such removal, the primary latching assembly includes an interference lug having a compression section which engages the upwardly disposed surface of an engaging groove formed within the rim structure of the container. After removal of the primary latching assembly, a secondary latching arrangement is maintained which includes the upper skirt portion, a generally semi-cylindrically shaped rim interior portion having a bead conforming surface nestable in seating adjacency with the upwardly disposed container rim bead and a detent defining ridge formed integrally with the skirt upper portion interior surface at a location for snap-on engagement with the rim structure of the container.

A bottle and drinking tube assembly is provided for dispensing of liquids. The bottle has an open top body formed from a resilient plastic material and is adapted to be collapsed upon application of moderate hand pressure and a cap for closing the top through which the bottle is filled. An aperture is formed in the cap for receiving an elongated drinking tube that extends to the bottom of the bottle and has an end exterior of the bottle from which the liquid is discharged. A fluid seal is formed between the cap and tube. A selectively operable venting valve is also provided in the cap to alternatively permit airflow into the bottle enabling the user to sip the liquid through the tube or to prevent fluid outflow from the bottle when the bottle is collapsed to forcibly expel liquid through the tube.
