A molded plastic case has multiple pockets for bottles and recesses formed in its undersurface in register with the pockets for engagement with the tops of bottles in the pockets of like cases located thereunder for stacking. Partition walls within the case intersect each other and the outside walls to form the pockets, and the partition walls are cut away suitably for hand clearance adjacent the handholes in the end walls of the case. The recesses take a rimmed form defined by openings in the case undersurface leaving only ribs extending from the walls of each pocket to support its respective rimmed recess. The recesses are defined in lateral extent by walls of greater height than the edge radius of the bottles and bottle caps used therewith, and the recesses slope from those walls to flat midportions, which are the deepest parts of the recesses and are formed so that a bottle cap may be centered thereat by the sloping recess bottom without defacement of the flat cap top thereby. The lateral extents of the recesses accommodate extreme positions of the caps of bottles in like cases stacked therebelow for centering and retaining action therewith to form a stable stack. The edges of the case undersurface are relieved for telescoping engagement inside the top edges of the outside walls of other like cases for stacking empty cases.

A process and apparatus for producing open-end spun yarn using an electrostatic field produced by a pair of spaced electrodes in combination with a spinning rotor having an acutely inclined circumferential wall and a circumferential groove at the junction between the inner surface of the rotor wall and the planar surface of the rotor. Staple fibers are fed to the electrostatic field where they are generally linearly oriented and straightened and from which the fibers are aerodynamically withdrawn and fed onto the inner surface of the inclined rotor wall by means of a feed passageway tangentially oriented to the inclined rotor wall and having a gradually decreasing cross-sectional area so as to impose upon the fibers fed therethrough an ever-increasing velocity. The fibers centrifugally progress along the inner surface of the inclined rotor wall and gather in the circumferential rotor groove at which point the fibers begin to combine through cohesion both with other fibers in the groove and with the fibers in the tail of the yarn which is being twisted and withdrawn from the rotor, thereby forming a strand of fibers cohering to the tail of yarn previously formed. The formed yarn is continuously withdrawn, the continuous rotation of the rotor causing the tail of the yarn being withdrawn to be continuously swept along the inner circumference of the rotor thereby imparting twist to the strand of fibers at the tail, and also effecting the addition through cohesion of new fibers to the tail from the circumferential groove.

A mechanical fluid separator defines an interior chamber for centrifugally separating entrained media from a fluid stream. The mechanical fluid separator has a fluid inlet connecting the interior chamber with a media entrained fluid source. A cone shaped baffle disposed within the mechanical fluid separator defines a conical surface having a concave surface and a convex surface. The conical surface has an annular base side and an annular apex side. The base side terminates in a circumferential rim contacting the annular chamber surface above the fluid inlet and said apex side terminates in an apex annular hole. The fluid stream is centrifugally directed in a first direction about the annular chamber surface and the convex surface of the conical baffle to disentrain the entrained media from the fluid stream. The disentrained fluid stream then passes through a window in the cone shaped baffle and escapes through a fluid outlet.
