Abstract: 1,227,660. Packaging cans. G. ERICKSON. 12 June, 1969, No. 29883/69. Heading B8C. In a machine for loading six cans 22 into an originally flat resilient carrier 10 having holders 11, 12 interconnected by webs 13, 15, the holders 11, 12 of a flat carrier are gripped by pairs of chucks 227, 191, the chucks 227 are rotated relative to the chucks 191 so that the carrier 10 is twisted to cause the holders 11, 12 to face each other, and the cans 22 are inserted between the holders 11, 12 thereby stretching the webs 13, 15 the chucks 227, 191 then being released and the cans 22 gripped by the resilient carrier 10. Shoulders 18 on the holders interlock with the rims of the cans. The carrier has a handle 16. As shown a Fig. 4 (plan view) a feed device 25 holds a plurality of flat carriers 10 and drops them singly on to a table 26. A pneumatic pusher 31 then moves the carrier 10 to beneath a transfer device 32 which has four plungers 94 each having two fingers (97, Fig. 7, not shown) adapted to grip a respective holder 11, 12 when the plungers 94 are lowered. The plungers are then raised and the transfer device 32 actuated to move the carrier 10 so that the holders 11, 12 lie over the chucks 227, 191. The plungers are again lowered and the chucks grip the holders. The transfer device 32 is restored to its original position. The chucks 191, 227 are carried by a truck 140, the chucks 191 being resiliently urged upwards (as seen in Fig. 4) and the chucks 227 being carried by a housing 165 pivotally supported on a shaft 161 in turn pivotally supported by a shaft 155 mounted on the truck 140 via bearings 154. A gear sector 184, rigidly attached to the truck 140 and rotatably mounted on the shaft 155, meshes with a gearwheel 185 rotatably supported on the shaft 161 and rigid with the housing 165. Thus, when a pneumatic piston and cylinder arrangement 174, 172 is actuated to rotate the shaft through 90 degrees, the gear-wheel 185 rolls round the sector 184 to turn the housing 165 through a further 90 degrees and so hoist the carrier 10 into its " can-gripping " position. The truck 140 is then advanced so that the carrier 10 is intermediate the side portions 301, 302 of a loading table 298, with the chucks 191 projecting above the surface of the table. Conveyer belts 37 supply the cans 22 to a position adjacent the table 298 where they contact stop plates 296 to actuate a switch (not shown) to stop the belts 37. Then pushers 38 force the cans (six at a time) between the holder members 11, 12. The chucks 191, 227 are then released and the chucks 191 lowered to deposit the assembled package on to the table 298 which is then tilted to deliver the package to a discharge shoot 310. The cans may be delivered to the conveyers 37 via star wheels which release an appropriate number of cans.

Abstract: 1,257,360. Smoking product. PHILIP MORRIS Inc. 9 May, 1969 [10 May, 1968], No. 23867/69. Heading A2C. In a smoking product, such as a cigarette, comprising tobacco enclosed in a combustible wrapper, perforations in the wrapper are closed by a non-toxic water-soluble coating material which is affected by moisture when the product is smoked to allow dilution of the smoke by ingress of air through the perforations. The perforations, which may be formed mechanically, or may be due to inherent porosity of the wrapper material, and the total area of which may correspond to 0.2 to 1.5% of the total area of the wrapper, may be omitted over a length of about 20mm. from one end of the product, i.e. the end remote from the filter in the case of filter cigarettes, and may be formed additionally in the wall of a filter associated with the product. The water soluble coating material, which may have a thickness of 3 to 60 microns and may be initially the same colour as the wrapper and change colour as it is affected to open the perforations, may be a natural material such as dextrin, starch or a gum, or a suitable synthetic polymer such as polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene oxide, polyacrylic acid or a salt thereof, or a polymer of polyvinylpyrrolidone. The coating material, which may have a bubble or cellular structure and may be applied by various coating methods depending on its viscosity, may incorporate a plasticizer and hygroscopic or other constituents, e.g. citric acid and sodium bicarbonate, to accelerate the opening of the perforations. Also a-filler such as fused alumina, titania, clay, talc &c or a flavouring agent may be incorporated. The coating may be applied before or after the wrapper is formed round the rod and may be localized over the perforations.

Abstract: 1295331 Temperature indicators ABBOTT LABORATORIES 24 Feb 1970 [6 March 1969] 8952/70 Heading G1D A temperature indicator for measuring body temperature comprises an elongate body having one end (not shown) to act as a handle for manipulation thereof, and the other end 23 formed with a number of individual hollow cells having viewing windows 24 through which may be viewed the interior of the cell and temperature indicia within the cell e.g. temperature indications on coloured areas on a plate 14 and temperature responsive material disposed within the cells to obscure the view of the temperature indicia when solid, but which allow the indicia to be clearly seen when the material melts. The indicator is intended for use as a disposable clinical thermometer and is preferably made from two identical shells moulded from acrylic plastics material and  secured on either side of the plate 14 so that the indicator may be read from either side. The hollow cells contain graded series of materials which melt at temperatures around normal body temperature and corresponding to the temperature markings on the plate 14 which may be in the cells themselves, as shown, or at the side of the cells, coloured areas in the cells becoming visible on melting of the temperature responsive material. The faces of the windows 24 inside the hollow cells are roughened to obscure the view of the temperature indicia, and when the responsive material melts it fills the roughened portions of the surface and renders the window transparent to light. To this end the cells may be filled with temperature responsive material or the material may be applied as a coating or part coating to the inside surfaces of the windows 24. The outside surfaces of the windows 24 may be formed as a planoconvex or other magnifying lens to aid in reading. The temperature responsive material can be a pure material but is preferably a mixture of two materials for example fatty acids such as lairic, capric and stearic acids and the luner alkyl esters of fatty acids having from 12 to 22 carbon atoms in chain; or cyclo-alkyl alcohols, but many specific examples are given in the Specification..
