Title: Packaging arrangement
Inventor: EDWARDS RUSSELL JAMES
IPC: B29C65/00
Filed: 1996-04-29
Abstract: A packaging arrangement for packaging products such as contact lenses in packages such as blister packs. The packaging arrangement includes an intermittently indexed, linearly driven endless conveyor which includes a plurality of identical support pallets, equally spaced apart along the endless conveyor. Each support pallet is designed to support and align an array of individual package bases. The arrangement is such that each support pallet with an array of individual package bases thereon is sequentially stopped at a plurality of spaced work stations along the endless conveyor. At an initial station, a robotic loader loads an array of package bases into a support pallet then at the first station. At a subsequent skew check station, optical probes check for skewed (improperly positioned) package bases in the support pallet. At a subsequent package base presence verification station, optical probes verify the presence of each package base in the support pallet. At a subsequent saline dosing station, dosers deposit a given dosage of saline solution in each package base, after which optical probes verify that the package bases have received dosages of saline solution. At a subsequent foil placement station, a pick and place unit places a pair of sheets of laminated foil covers over the array of package bases. At a subsequent chucking station, positioning arms mechanically chuck the laminated foil cover to ensure that it is properly positioned relative to the package bases in the support pallet. At a subsequent cover presence verification station, optical probes verify the presence and correct positioning of the foil cover over the package bases in the support pallet. At a subsequent heat sealing station, a heated seal head heat seals the laminated covers to the package bases. Finally, at an unloading station, an unloader arm unloads the sealed packages from the packaging arrangement for subsequent processing.

Title: Upper body exercise machine
Inventor: HABING THEODORE G
IPC: A63B23/12
Filed: 1994-12-19
Abstract: An exercise machine (10) has a frame (12), a seat (14) and a pair of articulated exercise arm assemblies (18). Each of the arm assemblies (18) is pivotally attached to the frame with a four bar linkage (50, 52). Handles (64) at the outer end of the exercise arm assemblies (18) are gripped by the user to perform the intended exercise. The geometry of the arm assemblies (18) and their pivot points (56, 58, 60,62) are arranged so that the handles (64) of the arm assemblies follow arcuate paths which converge as the handles (64) are moved forwardly. At a starting position for a press exercise, the handles (64) are approximately in line with the shoulders of the user. As the handles (64) are pushed forwardly against a resistance (16), they converge inwardly until they are nearly touching when the user's arms are fully outstretched. The machine may also be used to perform a seated row exercise, in which case the handles (64) are pulled rearwardly against the resistance (16).

Title: Pipe section especially for use in pipelines carrying abrasive or corrosive materials
Inventor: GROSSI GIULIO
IPC: F16L23/04
Filed: 1996-08-06
Abstract: A pipe section, which may be a length of pipe or may be a pipe fitting such as an elbow or a junction, and which is suitable for connection to other pipe sections to make a pipeline especially a large diameter pipeline used for carrying abrasive or corrosive materials. The pipe section comprises several longitudinal portions connected by longitudinal joints, each joint including a pair of longitudinal flanges extending along, and projecting radially from, edges of adjacent longitudinal portions, the flanges being connected together by a series of fasteners such as bolts which normally hold the flanges together in sealed relationship. The fasteners are removable to allow replacement of one of the longitudinal portions while others of the portions remain in place in the pipeline, thus reducing considerably the cost of repairing a large pipeline. The pipe fittings may be elbows, tees or wye fittings, and these may be split longitudinally along a central plane of symmetry.

Abstract: Three embodiments of a plastic pallet (11) and accompanying top frames are described. The parts of the pallets and top frames are formed from extruded stock, and many of such parts are made from the same or similar stock. In its basic aspects, all embodiments of the pallet include top and bottom sections (12,13) which are spaced from one another by spacer blocks (14) which are formed from a common piece of plastic stock. Most desirably, each of these spacer blocks (14) is generally hollow with strengthening webbing but is oriented relative to the top and bottom decks so that the latter close those opposed ends at which the hollow interior and webbing otherwise would be exposed. The design is such that exposed ends of other parts of the pallet are similarly closed by other parts. <IMAGE>
Patent CA-2188402-A1 (CA)
Title: Refrigeration system
Inventor: COVENTRY ANDREW
IPC: F25D3/00
Filed: 1995-04-21
Abstract: A refrigeration system (12) comprising three expansion units (19A, 19B, 19C) connectable in parallel via respective conduits (30) to a supply (16) of compressed refrigerant. Each expansion unit comprises an expansion chamber (22) and three series connected secondary chambers (24, 26 and 28). The expansion chamber (22) and secondary chambers (24, 26 and 28) are formed with progressively reducing volumetric capacity. The end of each of the third secondary chambers (28), distant from their respective second secondary chambers (26) is connected to a common bleed tube (29) having a bleed hole (34) for venting the refrigerant. The bleed hole (34) opens on the outside of a housing (15) which houses the expansion units (19A, 19B, 19C). The interior of the housing (15) is filled with a gel which a changes state from a liquid to a solid at a predetermined temperature. A valving arrangement (32) connects the expansion units (19A, 19B and 19C) to a supply of compressed refrigerant. The housing (15) together with a connected supply (16) refrigerant can be installed into a cooling box for cooling the space within, and thus any contents of, the cooling box. This is achieved by the valve mechanism (32) periodically admitting a volume of compressed refrigerant into the expansion units (19A, 19B and 19C). Upon such admittance, the compressed refrigerant initially expands in the expansion chambers (22). This is accompanied by an absorption of heat from the surrounding gel which in turn absorbs heat from the space within the colling box. The flow of expanded refrigerant through the secondary chambers is retarded by back pressure produced by having the secondary chambers of progressively reducing volumetric capacity. This allows the gel to be maintained at a frozen state for a long period of time while consuming only small volumes of compressed refrigerant.
