Title: Soft tissue paper
IPC: D21H23/50
Filed: 1989-06-14
Granted: 1993-03-11
Abstract: Tissue paper having a soft, silky, flannel-like tactile feel through incorporation of an effective amount of a chemical additive such as, for example, a polysiloxane. Preferably, less than about 2% of such a chemical additive on a dry fiber weight basis, is incorporated in the tissue paper: more preferably, only about 0.3% or less is so retained. Tissue paper embodiments of the present invention may further comprise a quantity of surfactant material to enhance softness and/or surface smoothness and/or wettability control; and/or a quantity of a binder material such as starch for linting control. For example, embodiments which would otherwise manifest a significant reduction in wettability due to incorporated chemical additives may further comprise sufficient surfactant to at least partially offset the reduction of wettability induced by the chemical additive: e.g., for toilet tissue embodiments to be sufficiently wettable to be handled in contemporary sewage handling and disposal systems. Additionally, for example, embodiments which would otherwise manifest a significant exacerbation of linting due to such incorporation of chemical additives alone or in combination with surfactant materials, may further comprise an effective amount of a binder such as starch to at least partially offset the linting exacerbation effects of the chemical additive and, if present, surfactant materials.

Title: One-piece plastics closures
Inventor: BROWNBILL THOMAS DUNCAN
IPC: B65D41/04
Filed: 1993-09-20
Granted: 1996-02-08
Abstract: A one-piece plastics closure for a carbonated beverage bottle has a sealing ring (24) which extends inwardly and downardly towards the closure mouth from its attachment to the closure body. When the closure is fitted the ring extends around the outer radius (56) and over the annular top face (50) of the bottle neck, backed by a stepless abutment and reaction surface (34) of the closure body. The latter surface engages the sealing ring mechanically above the container top face (50) to determine the fitted position of the closure and create a seal when the pressure in the bottle is low. When the product pressure is high, however, the effective seal is made between the sealing ring (24) and the outer radius (56) of the bottle neck. For that purpose the abutment and reaction surface is roughened, so allowing access for the product pressure to the back of the sealing ring. <IMAGE>

Cross-linking can be achieved by electron beam irradiation at a level of at least 1.5 megarads. The film can have a further layer or layers e.g. for heat sealing and for improving its abuse resistance, and can be made into a heat shrinkable bag suitable for packaging foodstuffs.

Abstract: Members to be coupled (1a-1d) have hollow coupling parts (4) at opposite side surfaces, a coupling member (2) has, at opposite ends, press-fitting parts (11) which are press-fitted in the hollow coupling parts, and angle shape concavities and convexities (22) having crests which are corrupted upon press-fitting are formed on at least either one of an inner peripheral surface of the hollow coupling part and an outer peripheral surface of the press-fitting part. When the opposite end parts of the coupling members are press-fitted in the hollow coupling parts of the members to be coupled, the crests of concave parts of the angle shape concavities and convexities are corrupted by the opposed surface so as to be made into close contact with and firmly coupled to the associated surface. Thereby it is possible to securely couple a pair of members to be coupled by means of a simple press-fitting operation.
