Abstract:
The disclosure relates to an apparatus for securely (and preferably reversibly) holding a container having a concave interior portion while a liner that abuts the concave interior portion  5  is removed from the container by peeling it therefrom. The apparatus includes a container holder having one or more holding surfaces, such as the interior of an orifice that extends through it. A holding surface (e.g., an O-ring or ridge) secures the container temporarily and reversibly, and prevents the container from disengaging from the container holder during peeling of the liner. An optional deflector can deflect a tab portion of the liner to facilitate its  10  removal from the container. After the liner is removed, the remaining portion of the container can be removed from the apparatus (e.g., and recycled).

Claim (Index 15):
An apparatus for peeling a liner from a lined container that includes a substrate and a liner that abuts a concavity within the substrate, the liner having a tab that extends from its periphery outside of the concavity, the apparatus comprising\n an invertible container holder having an orifice that extends therethrough and including a stop extending into the orifice for reversibly securing the lined container within the orifice while the liner is peeled therefrom, the container holder being pivotally mounted between a pair of handles fixed to a base including, at a space for receiving the container upon ejection from the container holder, a storage receptacle capable of containing at least two nested containers after they have been ejected from the container holder and a funnel interposed between the container holder and the storage receptacle, the funnel having a flared conformation and a funnel orifice extending therethrough and communicating with the interior of the storage receptacle, the outwardly flared end of the funnel facing the container holder, the invertible container holder being rotatable between an upright position in which the container can be inserted through an orifice extending through the container holder and reversibly secured therein while the liner is peeled from the substrate by grasping the tab and peeling it from the substrate and an inverted position in which the container can be ejected from the container holder, through the funnel, and into the storage receptacle by urging the container back through the orifice.
