Patent CA-2500890-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHENG HO PING
IPC: B42F13/16
Filed: 2005-03-15
Abstract: A ring binder mechanism for retaining loose-leaf pages securely holds closed ring members together to prevent inadvertent loss of pages retained by the mechanism. The mechanism comprises a housing supporting two hinge plates for pivoting motion to open and close paired ring members mounted on the plates. Free ends of the paired ring members have interlocking configurations that securely join together when the ring members close. The configurations prevent misalignment of the closed ring members in all directions transverse to longitudinal centerlines of the ring members. The mechanism also includes locking elements that interact with the hinge plates to block their pivoting motion when the ring members are closed.      This holds the free ends of the closed paired ring members together so that the interlocking configurations of the ring members remain interengaged.

Inventor: SPICER RONALD O
IPC: F03G7/00
Filed: 2005-04-20
Abstract: It is a self contained vehicle (car, truck, and bike). It will create it's own power. I believe it will clean the environment while being driven. It will make it's own air supply with filters on the intake and exhaust. An alternator will be used to create electricity to keep the battery voltage, therefore keeping all the electrical devices of today. The on board compressor will make air. The air tanks will hold the air. Each tank will be two. Diaphragm inside the tank will hold air, when one tank is low the other tank will take over while the other tank refills. So instead of two tanks there will actually be four (no end of air supply). The air flow will be controlled by a lever peddle.  Brakes will be same as today. Steering will be like today. There is no need for a muffler system, plugs etc. The converter will change 12 volts into 120 volts to run the compressor.  So people won't have to buy gas or hydro to run their cars. There will still be a need for mechanics and garages. No need for computerized systems in this car. The air flow will make the vehicle and motor move. Motor will be hooked onto a transmission designed for the vehicle. The first will be sporty looking. I believe this vehicle will reverse the pollution process of today's cars.

Patent CA-2521941-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HOWELL JUSTIN
IPC: B65D1/40
Filed: 2005-09-30
Abstract: An oval plastic container. A cross-section of the container, taken perpendicular to the height of the container shows an oval or elliptical shape. Such a container has front and back sides. The container also has a left side and a right side. Given the oval shape of the body, the width of the container as measured from the left side to the right side, is less than the depth of the container, measured from front to back. The front and back of the container therefore have a relatively small radius of curvature, compared to the left and right sides. The front and/or the back of the container includes a relatively featureless panel. Such a panel is flat, apart from the curvature that results from the oval shape of the body. Such an area can be used for the application of a pressure-sensitive label. The oval shape of the body prevents the labeled surface from buckling during the cooling process. The left and right sides of the container may include structure such as ribbing, to prevent buckling or excessive deformation during cooling. Alternatively, the left and right sides of the container may include vacuum panels that may be drawn inward during cooling, without excessive deformation or buckling.
