US Classification:

229109

Abstract:

More than four sidewalls extend upwardly and outwardly from a periphery of a central base panel of a tray. Each sidewall includes opposite first and second marginal portions extending outwardly from the base panel. For each adjacent pair of sidewalls of the plurality of sidewalls, the first marginal portion of a first sidewall of the adjacent pair of sidewalls is in an overlapping relationship with, and is fastened to, the second marginal portion of a second sidewall of the adjacent pair of sidewalls.

Abstract:

A fluid material application system is provided with an application deck for applying a fluid material that includes printing ink, adhesive or coating, a source of fluid material, a source of heat transfer liquid, and a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger includes a tube-in-hose ink heat exchange element having a fluid material carrying seamless tube located within a hose. The hose is adapted to be connected to a heat transfer fluid source so that a heat transfer fluid flows around the fluid material carrying tube to control and maintain the temperature of the fluid material in the tube at a generally constant temperature. The elongated heat exchange element may possess a winding type of configuration (e. g. , it may be coiled or helically wound or may be laid out in a serpentine path) to define a winding flow path for the fluid material and the heat transfer fluid, and may be located within an enclosing structure to define an overall compact heat exchanger.
