Patent CA-2580540-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SABLIER CLAUS E
IPC: A47G19/22
Filed: 2005-08-12
Abstract: A lid with a raised drink-through spout (24) has a hinged flap valve (28) covering a drink opening (26') formed in the surface of the spout. The user opens the valve by pushing the top of a post (28P) on the flap (28F) down. A  hinge (28H) holding the flap urges the flap to return to its closed and horizontal orientation, but the top edge of the post will catch under a catch edge of the opening opposite the hinge. This holds the flap open. The user can then drink from the spout. To re-close the valve, the user applies inward force to the outer sidewall (16) below the catch edge. This causes the wall to deflect inwardly and the catch edge to distort outwardly, widening the hole.  This releases the post, allowing it to move upwardly so that the flap can spring back to its horizontal and closed position.

Title: Conveyor having a conveyor belt with flights, including segmented flights for gapless end transfer
Inventor: PRESSLER ERIC M
IPC: B65G47/66
Filed: 2005-12-30
Abstract: A conveyor having a flighted belt and providing a gapless end-off or end-on transfer of articles. The conveyor belt includes segmented flights at spaced intervals along its length. Each segmented flight includes slots dividing the flight into laterally spaced segments, or dogs. A transfer platform allows for a smooth transfer of articles onto or off the end of the belt. Fingers on the transfer platform separated by gaps extend to distal finger tips that are positioned close to the conveying surface of the belt at an end of the conveyor. The transfer platform is laterally aligned with the gaps positioned to coincide with the flight segments to permit them to pass cleanly through as the belt articulates about a sprocket set at the end of a carryway. The transfer platform may be tilted relative to vertical to gain an assist from gravity in transferring articles. Alternatively, a retractable rake mechanism including a tined rake belt positioned above the end of the conveyor belt is used to comb through the segmented flights to sweep articles off the end of the conveyor belt and across the transfer platform. Optional article-advancing rollers in the conveyor belt between consecutive flights propel articles forward along the belt to a forward flight.

Title: Resin bonded sorbent
Inventor: INCORVIA SAMUEL A
IPC: B01J20/22
Filed: 2006-01-20
Abstract: The invention relates to improved resin bonded sorbent compositions and articles of manufacture fabricated therewith, such as air conditioning and refrigeration components. The introduction of desiccants into resinous molding compositions enables the elimination of more conventional bagged desiccant containments. The novel molding compositions of the invention and parts fabricated therewith are multi-functional, beneficially combining structural, mechanical and adsorptive capabilities without requiring the usual reinforcing additives. Consequently, with the omission of reinforcing additives the novel molding compositions of the invention are further characterized by higher moisture adsorptive capacities by allowing for higher sorbent loading factors than prior adsorbent-containing molding compositions.
