Date Sep. 30, 1993.Apparatus for leak testing a blow molded container comprises an electrically conductive probe for extending into the interior of the container through an opening and electrically conductive earth plates for surrounding at least a major portion of the container. In order to test the container, the probe is introduced into the container by an actuator, the earth plates are placed in close proximity with the container walls by means of actuators and a high voltage is applied to the probe by way of a connecting lead. A current sensor is responsive to the occurrence of a spark between the probe and the earth plates thereby indicating the presence of a hole or weakness in the intervening container wall. Such apparatus can be implemented at relatively low cost and is highly reliable in practice, as well as requiring only a short testing cycle.

Abstract: A dual chamber-child-resistant blister package is provided. The blisters of the package include a storage chamber and a discharge chamber. In addition, the blister includes restraint means for preventing the medicament from moving from the storage chamber to the discharge chamber until a predetermined force is applied to the blister package. The medicament may not be dispensed directly from the storage chamber, since a nonrupturable layer is located adjacent the storage chamber of the blister. The nonrupturable layer includes an opening, or a mechanism such as a score line for forming and opening) through which the medicament can pass adjacent the discharge chamber. A rupturable layer is also provided to seal the medicament within the blister. Typically, the rupturable layer is located adjacent the nonrupturable layer to seal the opening in the nonrupturable layer. The blister package may also include indicia associated with the blisters to help insure compliance with complex therapeutic regimens.

Its other end is sealed by a removable plug. A connection zone of least resistance (4) is provided between the bottom periphery and the end of the tubular body. This zone is formed by a circular groove whose depth is equal to a fraction of the thickness of the bottom. A gripping ring (5) connected to the bottom enables easy separation of the bottom along the whole of its surface before use in the gun to obtain a smooth passage through which the grease can flow. Inside the connecting zone, in the radial direction, is a second zone (6) of least resistance, concentric with the first, so as to form between them a circular tearable band (7). These external and internal zones are connected by radial connecting zones of least resistance (9), directed towards the bottom centre, forming a tearing band (10'), whose end is connected to the gripping ring.

Abstract: Method for drawing and/or coating wire products consists of passing the wire through an inlet (20) and outlet (21) nozzle of a pressure chamber (14) into which solid to paste-like lubricant (18,28) is fed. Pressure is applied to the lubricant by an external pressure unit (1) and the pressure/temp. of the lubricant is regulated so that it never becomes a liquid. The drawing process can be stopped and the direction of movement of the wire reversed at which time the pressure on the lubricant is reduced. Reaction product on the wire becomes embedded in the lubricant during drawing and can be removed with the lubricant after the drawing process. The lubricant can be fed into the chamber via one of the feeder channels while the other channel is being located with lubricant. The exit nozzle which is the drawing die can be the entrance nozzle to another chamber for further drawing or coating. The lubricant is in the form of a powder, pressed body, pellets or granules. The wire passes centrally through the chamber by the lubricant which is evenly distributed around the wire by a separator device (22).
