Patent EP-0818182-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KANNO YONEO
IPC: A61C7/20
Filed: 1996-12-26
Abstract: A lock device for orthodontic treatment
which comprises a holding member fixed to a
molar tooth band, and a spring wire having an
end which is detachably held by the holding
member. The holding member is shaped such
that the end of the spring wire is axially moved
along the holding member and held by the
holding member. Either of the holding member
and the spring wire is elastic in a direction
perpendicular to its axis. The holding member
is provided with a first latch portion which
serves to prevent movement of the end of the
spring wire in a direction of mounting, and a
second latch portion which serves to prevent
movement of the end of the spring wire in a
direction of detaching. The spring wire is
provided with a first lock portion which
engages with the first latch portion of the
holding member, and a second lock portion
which engages with the second latch portion of
the holding member. When the end of the
spring wire is axially moved along the holding
member and held by the holding member, the
first lock portion of the spring wire engages
with first latch portion of the holding member,
and the elasticity of either of the holding member and the spring wire causes the second lock portion of the spring wire to engage with the
second latch portion of the holding member, so that the spring wire is locked by the holding member.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing reclosable absorbent garments, in particular absorbent pants, and to the absorbent garments obtainable by said method. Starting from a continuous web (1) of absorbent articles attached side-by-side and with a line of weakening (6) arranged between adjacent articles, a first strip (8) comprising releasably attachable material is applied across the line (6) at one edge (25) of the web. A second strip of flexible material is also applied across the line (6) at the other edge (26) of the web. The web is then folded longitudinally to form a series of closed, joined adjacent articles. The adjacent articles are then partially separated at said line (6) but without rupturing said strips (8, 13), so as to provide a free zone (15) between said strips (8, 13) and the adjacent separated edges of each article. The strips (8, 13) are then joined together across the free zone (15) to form a plurality of joined garments. The strips (8, 13) may then be severed so as to form individual garments (27) of the reclosable type, or may remain unsevered and be foreseen with a line of weakening for later separation. Due to the particular method and product features of the invention, an in-line process for making closed, reclosable absorbent garments is achieved.

Abstract: A positioning error occurs due to a fluctuation of
a magnetic disk and a reading precision deteriorates, so
that it is obstructed to realize a large capacity of a magnetic
disk apparatus. This can be resolved by the magnetic
apparatus according to the invention such that a suspension
(3) which holds a slider (2) having a magnetic head at one
end and which is attached to a supporting arm (4) at the
other end is inclined so that an interval between the suspension
and the magnetic disk (1) is small on the inner rim
side and is large on the outer rim side and is attached to
the supporting arm, so that an occurrence of the positioning
error due to the fluctuation of a deformation of the magnetic
disk is reduced, thereby enabling a high density
recording of the magnetic disk.

Abstract: In an ATM switch, an input port number, an input VPI and an input VCI are used to generate a header appended to the cell when the cell is transmitted. The input port number and the input VPI are combined to form a pointer to a look-up table (LUT). The LUT entry contains a first portion of a pointer to an Input Translation Table (ITT). An ITT entry provides sufficient information to generate the header. The LUT entry contains also some or all of the bits of a mask to be applied to the input VCI to obtain a second portion of the pointer to the ITT. The number of the mask bits is variable. All the mask bits are 1. The mask bits are separated from the first portion of the ITT pointer by a 0 bit.

Abstract: A coordinate measuring machine carries a modular touch trigger probe (100), via an adaptor (200), on its movable arm (10). The probe (100) consists of a retaining module (102) which is mounted to the adaptor (200), and a stylus module (104) which is magnetically connected to the retaining module (102) in a manner which enables the exchange of one stylus module (104) for another. The adaptor consists of a pair of coupling members (202, 204) which are urged into mutual engagement by magnets (212). Automatic exchange of stylus modules occurs by using movement of the arm (10) to disengage a stylus module (104) from the retaining module (102). Similarly, the exchange of one probe for another is carried out by using movement of the arm (10) to disengage the lower coupling member (204) from the upper coupling member (202). Because magnetic attraction between the coupling members (202, 204) is necessarily greater than the attraction between retaining and stylus modules (102, 104), lower coupling member (204) has three levers (222), operable by downward relative movement of a release ring (220), which occurs during uncoupling. The levers (222) provide the mechanical advantage necessary to enable movement of the arm (10) to overcome the relatively large magnetic attraction force between coupling members (202, 204).
