The present invention provides a display pack for shipping and displaying a product, the display pack comprising a hollow shell and first and second product supports disposed within the hollow shell. The first product support is disposed in a lower portion of the hollow shell, and the second product support is disposed in an upper portion of the hollow shell, such that the first and second product supports are spaced apart from each other to define a product region between them. Additionally, the first and second product supports each define a product support recess that is sized and configured to conformably receive one end of a product disposed within the product region such that the entire hollow shell is spaced apart from the product. At least a portion of the hollow shell is transparent. |

An end cap for tubular containers of the type used to hold a venetian blind has a cavity of sufficient size to hold window covering hardware shipped with the blinds. The end cap preferably has a housing having a base, a first wall connected to the base by a first hinge and a second wall, substantially parallel to the first wall and connected to the base by a second hinge. A cover is removably attached to the housing and configured so that the first wall of the housing may pivot about the first hinge and the second wall of the housing may pivot about the second hinge while the cover is attached to the housing. The first wall, base, and second wall of the housing and the cover preferably define a parallelogram whose shape can change as the end cap is removed from a tubular container into which the end cap has been inserted. |

The invention relates to metal protectors for threaded extremities of pipe joints for the drilling of oil, gas and geothermal wells. The protectors are intended to protect the threads and seals of the assembly joint against shocks during transportation and handling in the wells and also eliminate the need to use a cardboard washer, which is only used to deliver the product, exposing the seal to shocks during handling in the wells after deterioration of the cardboard washer, considering that cardboard does not provide the same protection against impacts and shocks as steel. |

An easily opened, elongated tubular container is disclosed. The container is composed of an inner tube having at least one open end and being adapted for filling with various liquid substances. An outer tube, relatively reciprocative with respect to the inner tube, and having at least one sealing element capable of sealing the open end of the inner tube is provided, and at least one attachment is installed at the exit open end of the outer tube. The sealing element, which is formed as one piece with the outer tube, closes the opening of the inner tube. The outer tube is displaceable, by the operator, from a position which closes the open end of the inner tube to the reverse position which releases the open end of the inner tube so that the liquid in the inner tube is released to flow out the open end and be absorbed by the attachment. |

System for protecting machine parts, such as threads, from physical and chemical damage. The parts to be protected are cleaned, coated with a separating agent, and a mold is placed around them. A protective material is inserted in the interspace between the mold and pipe end. The protective material forms a tough, protective jacket. If desired, the mold can later be removed by means of a tear-open element or integrated weak spots. For the protection of pipe interiors, plastic material can be pressed into the end of the pipe such that it seals against the inside lining of the pipe. |

A thread protector apparatus is disclosed for drill pipe. The apparatus is similarly constructed for both male and female threads. The apparatus utilizes an encircling tubular member which is spaced away from and concentric with the threaded portion of the drill pipe. At the edge of the tubular portion next to the end of the pipe, it is turned radially outwardly. The tubular portion supports a layer of resilient material adjacent to the threads. The resilient material is jammed against the threads by a wedge-shaped member which latches against the tubular member. The tubular member is provided with a number of tabs which protrude outwardly along angled directions to receive the tapered lock member. The tabs are adjacent a parallel protective ridge. The tapered lock is slidably inserted and removed. The tapered lock member has angled edges which match the angled directions of the upset members.For both male and female versions of the apparatus, a cup-shaped end closure is disclosed. The end closure prevents the entry of fluid, trash or products in the drill pipe while it is in storage. |

A package assembly includes a plurality of side-by-side similar open ended tubular articles, the openings at each end being closed by a common end member formed of a unitary blank. Each end member includes tongues projecting into respective articles, each tongue including superimposed similar panels joined at their outer edges along a fold line and having outwardly converging outer side edges and parallel inner side edges transversely spaced from the inner side edges of adjacent tongue panels. Coplanar wing panels project oppositely from the inner edges of corresponding sets of side-by-side tongue panels. In assembled condition the tongues retain the tubular articles in side-by-side positions and the wings close the receptacle end openings to facilitate the wrapping and display of the articles. |

A plastic closure securely insertable into the end of a pipe, pipe coupling secured to the end of a pipe, tubing, casing or the like for protecting the internal threads from damage. The closure comprises a tapered sleeve having a pair of axially spaced, outer peripheral thread portions. One thread portion is adapted to tightly secure the closure to a pipe coupling having internal threads of the Buttress type in which the threads extend to the end of the coupling. The other thread portion is adapted to tightly secure the closure to a pipe coupling having internal threads of the API type in which the threads do not extend to the end of the coupling. In the latter type thread, the section of the pipe coupling between the ends of the threads and coupling is tapered or flared outwardly. |

A cylindrical plug bounded by flat leading and trailing faces and fabricated of interadhered layers of annular sheets of corrugated paperboard is provided for use in protecting the ends of tubular cores employed for the winding of continuous elongated web or strand products. The plug contains a central hole adapted for engagement with core-handling equipment, and contains a water-impermeable coating. The layers of paperboard are cross-lapped for greater strength, and the leading face of the plug has a slightly reduced diameter to facilitate insertion into a tubular core. |

A closure for an end of a square cross section tube comprises a base member having sides corresponding to those of the tube and a stem projectable into the end of the tube. A anchor disc is axially immovably connected to the outer end of the stem but can be rotated about the axis thereof. Barb-like fingers on the periphery of the disc allow insertion thereof into the tube end but preclude its withdrawal therefrom. The fingers also prevent rotation of the disc about its axis after it has entered the tube end. During application of the closure to a tube end, the base and stem can be unitarily rotated with respect to the disc to dispose locating elements on the base in position to enter the tube end and cooperate with internal wall surfaces thereof in holding the base member with its sides in coincidence with those of the tube.
