Historical Traveler Reviews Casa Sant'Andrea Venice
Very nice room
After searching for what felt like forever, and was probably 30-45 minutes, we finally found the hotel. Make sure you get directions from the hotel before getting to Venice. That said, our room was quite lovely, possibly the nicest of the 6 we stayed in during our visit to italy. The bathroom and shower were good-sized and very clean. We were a bit disappointed at first with the location. It is quite far from the St. Mark's area and near the train and bus stations. If that is not important to you, than this is definitely the place to stay. It was very reasonably priced and the folks at the front desk were very helpful and friendly. Because it was at the start of the vaporetto stops, it was quite easy to hop on and get a good seat to the center of the city. And, the walk to and from the St. Mark's area was always an adventure and great for walking off the day's meal!
Hope to return
Having stayed in other hotels further down the Grand Canal and found them overpriced and over rated, this hotel could not be bettered for value for money if you want a budget hotel.
Rooms are simply furnished but very comfortable.
Bathrooms excellent - spacious and spotless. Fresh thick towels every day.
Buffet breakfast is fresh orange, croissants, toasts, crackers, cheese,hot drinks.
Above all, the situation of the hotel is ideal.
Piazzale Roma with airport bus connections is only a couple of minutes walk- no struggling with cases on crowded water buses.
The top of the Grand Canal with water-bus connections is only round the corner.
There is also a very useful Co-Op supemarket and a Post Office at the canal side.
This hotel provides all that I would ask for when staying in Venice- value for money and location location location.
The only drawback I found was that its rooms are on 2 floors with very steep stairs - There is a rather temperamental lift but is apparently only for luggage-no people were allowed to use it.
Canal side hotel at a giveaway price
This is a great hotel and very convenient for transport. The people are friendly and speak English. It was very cheap - we went in March and I started to worry that it might be ghastly because of the price - but no. It's not flash but spotless.It was originally a monastery and overlooks a canal - what more could you want in Venice? I suppose people might think it's off the beaten track but it didn't take long to walk to the centre. Also it's near San Croce and San Polo - these are great areas. I was very grateful for the review that explained how to find it.....from the Piazzala Roma bus stop look for the multi storey car park,walk towards it until you see an information kiosk - walk part this until you hit the canal - turn right and the hotel is a few yards along.
Fantastic Value in a good location
Stayed at the Casa Sant' Andrea from 16 - 20 March 2006 and had a fantastic time in Venice. Hotel is in an excellent location near the Piazzale Roma which is the main bus station for Venice and also a main hub for the waterbus system.
The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was spacious and clean, the ensuite bathroom appeared nearly new and was very large. The breakfast although simple and continental in style was very pleasant and there was plenty of it.
I believe the hotel is an old monastery and has high ceilings and a courtyard to the side and lots of character.
On our last morning we had to leave early to catch an early flight 20 minutes before the starting time for breakfast. When I asked if there was any chance we could grab an early breakfast the guy behind reception said unfortunately not as the hot drinks weren't ready yet but he rushed off and grabbed bottles of orange juice and croissants and made up a packed breakfast for us on the spot.
For the price we paid (�23 a night for the room) this place is astounding value and an absolute gem. Really can't speak highly enough of it.
Excellent value for money A+
The Casa Sant'Andrea is a great place to stay if you don't want to splash out too much on a trip to Venice. It is unbelieveably cheap compared to other Venice hotels, yet the standard of the hotel does not dissapoint. I have no bad words to say about this hotel, it was clean, the staff were helpful, the location is good especially if you are getting the coach from the airport to Venice, and rooms are spacious, our bathroom was immaculate, spacious and had all modern fixtures, clean towels everyday and toiletries, we even had a view over the canal from both bedroom and bathroom windows!
It is on the edge of Venice island, the last point for cars and coaches, and so takes around 15 mins on the water bus to get to Rialto and 30mins to St Marks Square, but is is located near the main boat station so no problems with transport. I was really impressed with what we got for our money and i'm sure you will be too!
Great value hotel in Venice
We stayed in this hotel during the 2006 carnival.
Don't be put off by the price of this little gem, the rooms are spotless and towels and bathrooom/beds cleaned and made daily. Rooms are basic in terms of you get a bed and wardrobe plus bathroom (in most cases, confirm when booking), drinks are available and a priced reasonably at reception, €2 for a beer and €0.84 for a coffee.
Breakfast consists of a selection of rolls, cakes and crackers, jams, nutella, cheese spread, bottle of fresh orange and a selection of tea or coffee (go for the Italien, just the perfect pick-up!) If you expect a buffet or fry-up, don't bother. We found the breafast to be enough, kids loved it.
It takes just over half an hour on the water bus to get to heart of Venice, if you want to walk, it takes just under 40 mins on an enchanting winding stroll through Venice.
The hotel is based aprox five mins from where Ryanair bus drops off. The one pain is finding the Hotel, here is the best tip you will get, when in the plaza roma, look for the multi storey car park, head towards it, when you see an information desk in the centre of the road, walk past it towards the canal, when you get to the canal turn right and the hotel is one hundred yards on the right.
The location is good, no noise from the roads nearby, you will be woken at 7am by the bells in the Church.
Sch�nes Haus das sanft restauriert wurde, wenige Gehminuten vom Bahnhof.
Ruhige sehr grosse Zimmer, Badezimmer mit Bidet, Schlafzimmer mit Tel, ohne TV und Minibar. Sehr freundlicher Service.
Grosszugiges Fr�hst�ck. Ausgezeichnetes Preis/Leisungsverh�ltniss. Kann nichts negatives �ber das Haus sagen. Abosolut Empfehlenswert!

This is a great little hotel in a fabulous city
The Casa Sant' Andrea is a fabulous choice for anyone who wants to spend some time in Venice and doesn't want to be ripped off for the pleasure.
We stayed in a reasonably sized room for four nights. It was very clean and overlooked the adjacent canal. Sheets and towels were changed every day. The breakfasts were simple continental style, but were more than adequate.
The position of the hotel is ideal as it is right next to the Piazzale Roma vaporetto (canal bus) station. There is also a large supermarket (COOP) nearby. Don't be put off by the bus station and large multi-storey car parks when you arrive as the street that the hotel is on is very quiet and safe. In fact, Venice is perhaps the safest city that we have ever stayed in. The staff were always extremely helpful and pleasant and typically spoke good English.
We loved our stay in the Casa Sant' Andrea and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who wants a good, inexpensive hotel in Venice.
Fantastic Hotel, Great Location, Great Price!
My sister & I stayed at the Casa Sant' Andrea for 2 nights in early August. We got great rates through the Easyjet website. It's a former 16th century monastery that has been renovated. The location is great - just a few minutes walk from the bus station (from which we arrived from the airport) & from the main boat stop. The hotel fronts a smaller canal just off the Grand Canal. The rooms are modern & clean and the bathroom quite large! No TV, fridge etc but if you're not planning to spend a lot of time in your hotel it's not a problem! The staff were extremely helpful, and there is cheap internet in the foyer. The breakfast is better than other hotels we stayed at in europe - crossaints, rusks, pastries, & crackers with various toppings, juice & a coffee. Loved it, would definitely stay here again!
An enjoyable stay at the Casa Sant' Andrea
My mother and I stayed at the Casa Sant' Andrea from May 31 to June 6, 2003. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My mother walks with a cane and the staff let us use the service elevator to get up to our room on the third floor. There is no regular elevator for passengers. It was a fairly quiet neighborhood with a nearby church and very close to the major terminal for the water buses.

"[air navigation control, […] is a task involving the exercise of public
authority and is not of an economic nature, since that activity constitutes a
service in the public interest which is intended to protect both the users of
air transport and the populations affected by aircraft flying over them".
(Extract of decision C.364/92 of the European Court of Justice).
ICB 10 meeting 24.04.06
Attending for ATCEUC Vincent Poty
The information note dated 21.04.06 describing the differences between the two
drafts from the commission to the council dated 02.02.06 and 05.04.06 was accepted
and supported by all participants.
Report by the commission. ( Daniel ONIDI )
The position from ICB helped to move forward in a positive way.
1. Scope of the JU: The intention is to extent the livespan towards the
implementation phase.
2. Governance of the JU: EU + Eurocontrol + 2 New members: Research
institutes and Military representative.
3. Funding: The 100 Millions€ from EU will come from the research budget and
TEN. 50% each.
4. New members: A new text will explain the rights and responsibilities of new
members in the JU.
A request from the commission to the ICB was made by M.Onidi to know what each
member of the ICB is doing in R&D + actual activities that could be included in
SESAR and what are the essential return ICB members are expected if the get
involved in the JU ( Voting rights, right of initiative, Ownership of the Master Plan,…)
Q: Why put the research institutes in such a position in the JU?
Position from the states is that a lot of Research Centers are involved in ATM
research activities and there is no arm to involve them in JU.
Q: Problem of the wording of the unanimous decision. For ICB, it is nearly impossible
to get a unanimous decision with such a variety of members.
The wording from the ICB was not accepted by the lawyers + The commission
doesn't want that each members could have the power to stop the process.
Secretariat : ATCEUC/CRNA SUD-EST - 1, rue Vincent Auriol - 13617 Aix-en-Provence Cedex 1 (France)
Tel : (33) 442 33 77 66 - Fax : (33) 442 33 78 95 - Email : [email protected]
Website : www.atceuc.org
AATCU (Serbia and Montenegro) - ATC Branch of IMPACT (Ireland) - ATCOR (Romania) - ATMPP (Italy)
BATCU (Bulgaria) - CATCU (Croatia) - GATCA (Greece) – GdF (Germany) - ITUATC (Serbia and Montenegro)
LIFSZ (Hungary) - MATCA (Malta) - SKYCONTROL (Switzerland) - SINCTA (Portugal) - SNCTA (France)
SSKL (Slovenia) - TUEM (Eurocontrol) – USCA (Spain) - ZZKRL (Poland)
The ICB request is that the main members that would support the costs of the
implementation and the development would have a veto right.
The 10 Millions from Eurocontrol will mainly come from the Bretigny's budget (About
60% of the budget will be invested for SESAR)
The ICB questioned the role of Supervisory Board. The ICB can accept a SB
controlling how the money is being spent but not controlling the Master Plan.
The SESAR sub-group will meet on the 08 05.06.
Presentation on present SESAR status by Olaf DLUGI.
The external kick-off meeting was a success, there will be another kick-off meeting
roughly 6 weeks after each Deliverables to allow each sector in ATM to comment on
the Deliverables.
Interoperability Sub-group.
The report from the sub-group was adopted.
Common Charging.
( Ben VAN HOUTTE ) Work has to be done on common rules of the air.
The paper on common charging from ICB was adopted with the exception of the GA
representative on the recovery of costs.
The commission will put the proposal in good form and ask Eurocontrol to run
simulations to see if there would be significant changes for the different users.
If everything goes according to plans, the final proposal would be voted and
published before the end of the year.

Senate Blocks Key Gun Control Proposals
The Senate has blocked proposals to tighten gun control.
FOX News Radio's Steve Taylor reports from Washington DC:
Audio clip:
One of the proposals would have required expanded background checks for gun buyers. The other proposal would have banned assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines. Both were blocked with votes from Senators from both political parties. Afterward, President Obama appeared with some of the families of recent gun victims to say about those Senate opponents:
Pres. Obama: "They blocked common sense gun reforms even while these families looked on from Senate galleries."
The President says a large majority of Americans support tougher gun restrictions.
In Washington, Steve Taylor, FOX News Radio.

We even had a 20 stop at the penultimate station for refreshments - Jessamy and Keely had an icecream (unbelieveable), the rest of us had a hot drink (much smarter).
After the train ride it was only 5PM but getting quite dark, It was a fairly "hairy" drive for another hour over to Aberystwyth. Narrow ...

Bobs big brekky kicked the day off to a great start: a full English breakfast with a new addition, a Scottish scone, which is similar to a piece of flat pita bread and tastes wonderful.

A quick word on the N-word
Mitch Pearlstein, President, Center of the American Experiment
The ugliest part of the ugly Miami Dolphins mess is the way in which at least one white player called an African American teammate about the worst thing a non-black can call a black person, under the assumption that rather than a slur, the n-word is all part of unexceptional locker room banter.

This world was a big place. Bigger than anything that Vagus the Totodile had ever known in his life. The fields seemed to go on forever, and the sky was so plain and vast that Vagus feared he would fall into it if he gazed up at it for too long. Such was a phobia developed when one spent their lifetime under the thick canopy of a jungle. Vagus had never seen the sky so clearly and never knew it was so vast. Then there was the silence, the sort of silence one hears when out in the middle of nowhere with nothing around to create any noise. The jungle was always full of noises, those that were familiar and those that seemed strange. Silence rarely ever came, and whenever it did, it was during the horrifying nights like the one that had claimed the lives of his parents.
Vagus looked around him while he and his brother, Mycaelis, walked the rolling plains. There was no road and the sheer emptiness around them made Vagus feel exposed and anxious. If he had proper claws, he would have dug himself a burrow and stayed there until nightfall. The darkness would conceal him quiet well, provided his Charmander brother with his flaming tail wasn't lumbering around behind him. In the jungle there was a tree wherever he turned and a brush to hide in wherever he looked. There was also Mum and Dad watching out for him. But here…here there was nothing, not a tree or bush to hide behind.
What was he thinking coming out here? He had no idea where he was going, what he was even doing, or what the hell was even out here. What if they ran into a stranger that met them harm, what if a bird looking for an easy afternoon meal swopped down from above, what if those creatures that killed his parents found them, or what if….
The sky rumbled angrily and gave Vagus a real reason to fear it. What if it rained?
He looked up and saw that the sky was beginning to turn an angry grey. Where the heck did that suddenly come from? On the horizon he began to see flashes of lightning streaking across the sky and felt his heart sink as the wind began to pick up.
'Cunts fucked!' rumbled Mycaelis. The Charmander was obviously displeased by the thought of an oncoming rainstorm. It was one of the few moments today that he had spoken. Although Vagus was put off by the absence of ambient sounds around him, he did find a certain pleasure in Mycaelis' new found silence.
'Where did this suddenly roll in from?' Vagus sighed.
It was a valid question. The storm had seemed to come out of nowhere. But then again, Vagus hadn't a clue in the world how storms formed or how to tell if one was brewing or not. Vagus had always known and felt what rain was. In the middle of monsoonal downpours, his father routinely forced him to fix gaps in the thatched roof of their hovel whenever there was a leak. The bastard was so big he would have caved in the ceiling had he tried to do it himself.
Vagus was more than aware that his Charmander brother wouldn't last long in one, especially when one considered the complete absence of shelter around. He continued to plod forward, his eyes focused on the oncoming storm. He expected some form of snarky response from Mycaelis, a complaint, a snarl or a rhetoric question that pointed out the poor likeliness of actually finding shelter, instead he got nothing.
Dusk had fallen by the time the clouds had moved across and unloaded their torrential downpour onto the two siblings. Vagus was soon regretting his previous reflections on how he knew what rain felt like. No longer sheltered by the jungle canopy, the ensuing downpour offered Vagus no quarter, barraging him both he and his sibling as they trudged through the mud and braved through the wind. He covered his mother's journal as best he could with his arms, hoping to keep as much water off it has possible. He was glad that she had chosen to write in one that had a leather cover.
He had never felt or seen a downpour like this in his life. It hadn't even been a full day since he left the jungle, and already he was growing sick of this new world. How it had drawn him in with the tantalising beauty in its ocean of stars and sweeping lush plains, and then attempted to drown both him and Mycaelis in a torrential downpour.
Despite his dreariness, hope did present itself before him. Vagus could make out the sight of trees up ahead. A forest, rather than a jungle, it was situated closely to a nearby lake. He hoped that the tree trunks were thick, maybe they would find one with a hollow in it and would be able to huddle down inside. He didn't care if it was wishful thinking, he just wanted something that would get them out of this blasted storm.
Vagus turned to Mycaelis and noticed that his brother was lagging behind. He was cringing, scowling and even stumbling at times. All attempts to communicate with him only resulted in an affirmative grunt as a response. Vagus knew that his brother was tough, far tougher than he would ever be, but still Vagus knew all too well that Mycaelis wouldn't last much longer in this storm. He was already slowing down, and his skin was beginning to rash from its exposure to all the water.
Eventually conceding the fact that he wouldn't get any responses about his well-being out of Mycaelis, Vagus frequently made subtle attempts to check the flame on his tail.
'Will ya stop lookin' at it, for fucks sake?' Mycaelis suddenly snapped. He had clearly noticed Vagus' concerned glances at his tail. 'I'm f-fine. J-just keep b-bloody moving.'
Mycaelis seemed embarrassed, completely shamed, by the fact that something as trivial as water was able to reduce him to the wreck that he was becoming. Vagus, nonetheless, did as he was told. He kept his eyes ahead, looking back only occasionally to check if Mycaelis had collapsed into an unconscious heap on the muddied ground. They pressed onwards, following the shore of the lake until they eventually reached the woods ahead of them.
Vagus watched on helplessly as Mycaelis collapsed onto a tree for support. For a moment, Vagus thought that he was just bracing himself against the howling wind. That was until he watched Mycaelis collapsed in eerily similar fashion as his father had collapsed before him.
Mycaelis seemed overtaken by fits, his body shook severely. The rash on his skin had become blisters, some of which he had picked at, resulting in them bleeding. To make matters worse, Vagus noticed the place to be woodland rather than a dense forest. The trees were sparse and widely separate from one another. He had hoped for a canopy, something like home to keep most of the rain off, but his hopes were dashed. As for that hollow in a tree trunk, there was no way he would be moving Mycaelis any further to try and find one that would comfortably fit him.
Vagus had not come far enough to let Mycaelis die. It was only the previous night that his father, who always doubted him and scorned him, had left Mycaelis in Vagus' care. He was not about to stuff it up only a single day in. 'I'll be right back,' he said to Mycaelis.
Vagus scouted ahead a short distance and soon spotted a nearby tree. It only had a shallow hollow in it and was far from what he hoped for, but it would at least allow Mycaelis some refuge from the rain, provided he covered it in a few branches. He set down his mother's journal, feeling as anxious as she did about leaving it unattended. He then made his way back to Mycaelis.
'C'mon!' he snapped at his brother. Vagus could tell he was growing weaker.
'L-leave me,' Mycaelis grumbled sombrely. His head drooped low. He seemed so driven to shame by his exposed weakness, that he couldn't even look Vagus in the eye. 'I don't deserve to-'
'The only thing you deserve at the moment is a kick up the bum for being a sook!' snapped Vagus. He suddenly found an ounce of his mother's ferocity burning within his heart, or was it his brother's? He had to get Mycaelis moving, no matter what. Get him to shelter. Mycaelis could mope all he wanted once he was there.
As Vagus spoke, he found himself beginning to sound more and more like Mycaelis, or at least the Mycaelis he used to know. 'Now come on, on your feet, Laconian! For fucks sake, imagine what Dad would say if he saw ya in a state like this?'
He gripped Mycaelis by his under arms and pulled him to his feet. He took one of the Charmander's arms over his shoulder and supported him as he walked. With the wind and rain lashing at his body, Vagus helped his mud covered brother to the tree he had found, and slid him into the shallow hollow. He then pulled down the thickest branches he could reach, which weren't very thick, and tried his best to cover Mycaelis with them.
His actions, although commendable, looked outright ridiculous and clumsy. The wind would take hold of a branch and send it flying into the woods. Occasionally Vagus was able to catch them, mostly they would fly off so far he dared not pursue them for fear of becoming lost and separated from Mycaelis.
Mycaelis' trembles continued to only grow worse.
'Stay with me, Mycaelis,' Vagus pleaded, trying desperately to keep the branches from flying off.
'Hey, over 'dare!' a call came from behind him. 'What are ye at over 'dare?'
Vagus quickly and suddenly turned, completely startled and terrified. He looked upon the surface of the lake. Not far from the shore, a head had popped up from underneath the surface of the lake's unusually calm waters. A pair of brilliantly glowing bulbs hung from it, illuminating the dreary evening. It was a Lanturn. One with a smile so wide, and friendly, that it seemed oddly out of place considering the ferocity of the storm. The again, Vagus would imagine that a fish, living underwater its entire life, would place howling storms amongst the least of its concerns.
Vagus said nothing. He didn't know what to say. Mycaelis was the one that would always speak, not him. He simply stared, a look of utter completely hopelessness was all he could convey. That's all he felt.
The Lanturn's eyes looked him over, they felt warm and welcoming. Maybe that was simply because the rain and wind felt so cold and hostile in contrast? The Lanturn then looked past Vagus and noticed Mycaelis poorly covered by branches and desperately shoved into a shallow hollow.
'Well, I'll be darned,' the smile seemingly faded from her expression. She then averted her gaze away from Vagus and called out. 'Marvin! Over here, now, quick!'
Vagus heard a rustle of bushes, followed by a rush of footsteps and the clanging of metal against wood. A Floatzel, with a bucket half full of Oran berries at his side, soon stood before Vagus. He was larger than Vagus and stood over him. He was a well-aged Floatzel with a seemingly noble appearance. He sported a body that seemed to have endured many storms such as this and eyes that once saw many adventures.
'What's all this?' he cast his eyes over Vagus, and then Mycaelis.
Vagus' heart was racing. He didn't know who these people were. Were they one of those that hunted his parents that night? One of those who hid in the shadows and cackled as his father fell before them? Was he one of those that chased them both from their home?
'They're perishin', Marvin,' called out the Lanturn. 'Git dem home, nigh! That Charmander don't look like he's 'bout to last much longer.'
'Damn, woman!' snarled the Floatzel. 'How de feck am I supposed ter take a Charmander underwater?'
'Use the land entrance, ya dammed fool!' she snapped back. 'Have those berries yer been foraging driven yer bloody senile?'
They were going to take him somewhere. Take Mycaelis somewhere. He didn't know where they were going or what they meant by a "land entrance" and quite frankly, Vagus didn't want to know. As far as he knew, nothing was going to lay a hand on him or Mycaelis. He promised his father that, he promised he'd keep him safe. He watched on as the Lanturn disappeared beneath the surface, leaving him alone with the Floatzel.
'Right now, lad. Let's be getting you and your pal oyt av 'ere.'
He sidestepped Vagus and made an unfortunate attempt to try and pick up Mycaelis. Vagus bounded into action, snapping at the Floatzel's arm with his jaws. He screamed and flailed back in pain.
'What de feck?' he clenched his bitten arm. 'Easy der, lad!'
It was a Totodile's bite, a very serious bite. Let's not forget, Totodile's are essentially huge jawed gobs with arms and legs attached to them. Marvin's wound was highly evident, even as the rain washed away the blood. Still the elderly Floatzel stood calm, steadily holding the wound to stem the bleeding. He didn't seem angry in the slightest. Any creature Vagus knew would have returned the bite in kind, and outright attacked him at this moment. Yet here he was, simply standing face to face with a foe he had just wounded.
'Listen 'ere, lil fella. I don't nu who yer are, or what you're doin' 'ere. But I do nu if yer don't git yer pal sum place warm, 'es as gud 'a dead oyt 'ere.'
Marvin slowly moved closer, one small step at a time. Vagus, like a cornered animal slowly, and cautiously, retreated, snapping his jaws at Marvin in a vain attempt to keep him at bay. His calmness must be some sort of trick, something to get him to lower his guard. Vagus wasn't about to fall for it.
'Not gonna 'arm yer, lad.'
Vagus took another snap at his arm, but the Floatzel was quick this time. His arm shot away from Vagus' attack and grabbed the Totodile. Vagus kicked and squirmed and tried his hardest to bite at something fleshy, but found that his jaws could snap at nothing but air.
'Goodness! Settle down, yer upstart!'
Vagus began to grow weaker. The past day had completely exhausted him. It had been a long journey, and he had not eaten or slept in so long. Marvin was still surprisingly strong for his age, his arms were shockingly powerful. Vagus had begun to wonder just how weak he had become, or if Marvin really was that strong, after all.
After a while of struggling in the Floatzel's grip, Vagus' body eventually grew tired and fell limp after some more gentle coercion from Marvin. The Floatzel never once struck him or a lay a violent hand on him. He simply held Vagus, letting him wear himself out. 'That's a good lil fella. Easy.'
To Vagus' surprise, he let him go and went to gather the unconscious Mycaelis in his arms. He turned to Vagus. 'Come wi' me, lad. Come!'
Vagus gathered his mother's journal from the muddy ground and proceeded to follow the Floatzel that now had his brother. He eyed the tip of Mycaelis' tail that hug limp from Marvin's arms. To Vagus' horror, he noticed that the flame at the end was blazing no brighter than a simple birthday candle.

RECEPTACLES AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME Filed July 19, 1965 I PPRIOR ART I PRIOR ART 2 5 Fl G l I Q G O 2 I Johan Hoeffelmon ATTO RN 5 V8 Fl 6 3 INVENTOR United States Patent 9 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method for assembling a rigid plastic receptacle composed of a tubular body and at least one end piece, which method involves heat sealing the tubular body to each end piece with an elastomer base adhesive which is interposed between the end piece and the body, such an adhesive producing a strong, shock-resistant connection.
The present invention relates to receptacles and to a method of making the same;
More particularly, the present invention relates to the manufacture of receptacles made of rigid plastic materials as, for example, unplasticized polyvinylchloride.
There exist cylindrical receptacles made of plastic materials, which are assembled by securing one or two circular bottoms or so-called end pieces to a tubular cylindrical body which itself is obtained by cutting sections from an extruded tube, the end piece or pieces being secured to the tubular body at a relatively high temperature, such as 180 to 190 C. This is shown in FIGURES 1 and 2, in which the end piece is first aligned with a tubular body 2, after which the edge of the body 2 is secured within the annular groove 3 of the end piece 1. A thus-produced receptacle has a very rigid bottom; in particular, the two annular peripheral regions which are joined together, namely, the edge of the tubular body 2 and the outer flange 4 of the end piece 1, will be exceedingly rigid. These rigid parts, however, constitute very fragile zones so that, should the receptacle be dropped accidentally, even from a low height, the entire packing will usually break.
It is, therefore, the primary objects of the present invention to provide a way of manufacturing receptacles of the above type which, however, are able to withstand accidental falls.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a way of manufacturing such rupture-resistant receptacles in a simple and efficient manner.
With the above objects in view, the present invention resides, mainly, in a method of making a plastic receptacle, which method includes the step of heat sealing a tubular body to at least one end piece which closes an end of the tubular body with an adhesive, especially an elastomer base adhesive, which is interposed between the end piece and the tubular body.
The present invention further resides in receptacles made in accordance with the above method.
Additional objects and adavntages of the present invention will become apparent upon consideration of the following description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIGURES 1 and 2, already referred to above, are sectional views showing the two manufacturing steps according to the prior art.
FIGURE 3 is a fragmentary sectional view of a receptacle manufactured in accordance with the present invention.
Patented Jan. 28, 1969 Referring once more to the drawings and now to FIG- URE 3 thereof, the same shows an end piece 11 secured to a tubular cylindrical body 12, the end piece 11 having an annular peripheral groove 13 which is formed between the main body portion 11a of the end piece 11 and the an nular flange 14. The edge portion 12a of the tubular body 12 is received within the annular groove 13. Interposed between the tubular body 12 and the end piece 11 is an adhesive 15. In the arrangement shown in FIGURE 3, the adhesive fills the entire space between the body 12 and the end piece 11 and also secures the outer flange 14 of the end piece to the outer surface of the edge portion 12a of the body 12.
The other end of the tubular body 12 may be closed off in a similar manner.
The tubular body and the end piece may be made of unplasticized polyvinylchloride, which is an exceedingly rigid material. Alternatively, the tubular body and the end piece may be made of other plastic materials, as, for example, polystyrene, polymethylacrylate, and the like.
The adhesive itself is heat sealed to the tubular body and the end piece; if these parts are made of unplasticized polyvinylchloride, the temperature at which the heat sealing is effected is between approximately C. and 0., rather than the relatively high temperature range of between to C. which was heretofore customary.
The adhesive is preferably deposited in the groove 13 of the end piece 11. This can be done immediately prior to the heat sealing, or, if a thermoplastic adhesive is used, the groove of the end piece may be lined with a coat of such adhesive and be stored beyond the time it takes for the adhesive to set. Alternatively, a ring of the adhesive, cut a thin film, can be placed into the groove prior to the heat sealing.
The adhesive itself may be any suitable thermoplastic. If the receptacle is made of polyvinylchloride, any common adhesive can be used, as, for example, a polyvinylchloride base adhesive, a polyacrylate base adhesive, or a copolymer having a chloride base or a vinyl acetate base.
Especially good results-insofar as shock-resistance is concerned-have been obtained with the use of an elastomer base adhesive, such as an adhesive having a rubber nitrile base or a neoprene base. This is believed to be due to the fact that a film of adhesive is formed between the tubular body and the end piece, which film serves as an elastic cushion that absorbs the shocks to which the parts may be subjected in case the receptacle is dropped. In order that this film properly fulfill its function, it should be well distributed within the space between the tubular body and the end piece, i.e., the adhesive should fill the entire space between the tubular body and the end piece and thus also lie between the inner and outer surfaces of the edge portion 12a of the body 12 and the walls of the end piece which define the groove 13, after which the joint is subjected to heat. In this way, the outer flange 14 is well secured to the outer surface of the edge portion 12a.
The following examples are illustrative of the present invention; the first example describes the prior art and the subsequent examples pertain to receptacles made in accordance with the present invention, thereby to provide a comparison between the prior art and the present invention.
- EXAMPLE 1 A receptacle was made in accordance with the prior art, as described in connection with FIGURES 1 and 2. The
receptacle consisted of a cylindrical body and of two end EXAMPLE 2 A l-liter receptacle, whose tubular body and end pieces were similar to those described in Example 1, was assembled in accordance with the present invention, the tubular body and the end pieces being secured to each other with the interposition of acrylic adhesive, heat sealed at a temperature of 130 C.
