Inventor: HAMILTON PETER WORTHINGTON
IPC: B65D41/04
Filed: 1993-01-19
Abstract: A child resistant attachment for containers used for storing and dispensing potentially dangerous materials, such as medicament tablets or the like, the attachment being resistant to opening by children but readily openable by adults, particularly adults having impaired manual dexterity of their hands and/or fingers. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the attachment comprises a finish portion including thread ring with an integrally molded annular tab ring or collar generally concentric to the thread ring and a closure which is releasably secured to the thread ring by means of complementary screw threads. The tab ring or collar preferably includes a pair of resiliently deformable spring-like pushtabs containing vertical extensions which engage interlocking pawls on the innermost surface of the closure skirt when the closure is fully assembled onto the finish portion. To remove the closure, the opposed pushtabs must be depressed prior to applying unscrewing torque to the closure to disengage the pushtab extensions from the interlocking pawls on the closure. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the finish portion of the child resistant attachment of the present invention is integrally molded with the container in a ready to use configuration without the need for additional assembly or molding operations. Methods for producing the child resistant attachment and child resistant packages employing it are also disclosed.

Title: Non-digestible fat substitutes and digestible oils thickened with non-digestible solid particles of polyester polyol
Inventor: CORRIGAN PATRICK JOSEPH
IPC: A23L19/18
Filed: 1993-10-21
Abstract: Nondigestible fat compositions useful as replacements for triglyceride fats or oils in foods are disclosed. These compositions have relatively flat solid Fat Content (SFC) profile slopes between typical room temperature and body temperature. The nondigestible fat compositions comprise a liquid nondigestible oil and nondigestible solid polyol polyester particles dispersed in the oil in an amount sufficient to control passive oil loss. The solid polyol polyester particles of the composition herein comprise from about 10% to 50% polyol polyester polymer and from 50% to about 90% polyol polyester monomer. The polyol polyester material which forms these solid particles must contain a relatively high proportion of long chain saturated fatty acid ester groups. Edible fat-containing products comprising these nondigestible fats can be less waxy tasting due to the lower level of solids required for passive oil loss control.

Title: Separation method that comprises associating a target molecule with a protein that binds to an oil
Inventor: MOLONEY MAURICE
IPC: C07K19/00
Filed: 1997-12-05
Abstract: A method for the separation of a target molecule from a mixture employs oil bodies and their associated proteins as affinity matrices for the selective, non-covalent binding of target molecules.
