Embodiment 3

[0056] Example 3 was performed using a plasma treatment available from Plasmatreat Corp under the trade name FLUME. A narrow band 0.75 inches wide is selectively plasma treated. The full power of the plasma treatment is about 0.25kw. Sample pieces were selectively processed at 20, 40, 60 and 80 feet / min. The resulting process residence times were 0.25 seconds, 0.125 seconds, 0.083 seconds, and 0.0625 seconds, respectively. Selective plasma treatment is done at all speeds, but the treatment is heavy at low speeds. These samples were not further evaluated.

Abstract

A flexible carrier (30) for carrying a plurality of beverage containers includes a plurality of container holders (25), each holder having a high energy treatment (26) section and a low energy treatment (24) section. The energy treatment is corona or plasma treatment, the high energy treatment (26) partly provides better friction of the carrier to the container. By varying the level of energy treatment and the relative size of the parts being treated, the total amount of friction between the flexible carriage (30) and the container can be controlled.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a flexible carrier for carrying beverage cans and bottles. The flexible carrier has high and low energy handling areas to provide friction against the container, which is made relatively rough to prevent the container from slipping during shipping, distribution, and handling by the user, and to make it relatively easy for the user to remove the container from the carrier. Background technique [0002] The flexible bracket is used to carry various beverage containers such as four packs, six packs, eight packs, ten packs, twelve packs, etc. The flexible bracket is stretched during the process of applying to the container bracket. While the container can be made of plastic, metal or glass, the flexible bracket is made of plastic. [0003] One difficulty faced by the beverage industry is obtaining the proper balance of friction and lubrication between the flexible carrier and the filled container. If the friction is too ...
