Abstract: Surveillance tags (1) are manufactured by initially producing resonator elements (14) and bias elements (12) in batches in cells (21, 22). There is in-line testing of the resonator elements (14) as they are cut, and dynamic feedback to the cutter to adjust cutting parameters. Bias elements (12) are cut by drawing two webs (41, 42) from reels in side-by-side juxtaposition. Each web is drawn through fixed and dancing rollers for correct tensioning. The webs (41, 42) are fed by a feeder (70) comprising a pair of feed rollers (71(a), 71(b)) for each web, and a feed block (72) having a ramped loading section (74) located between the feed rollers. The feed block (72) has a groove (73) for each web, the groove having upwardly and inwardly extending side walls for web retention. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Conventionally, there resides such problem that when an operator carries out tying operation by inserting an item into an opening, since a bifurcated arm moves traversing the opening, the operator is given with sensation of fear. <??>Each of the tie guide members 61 and 62 moves toward the rear side parallel to each other in the side areas of the opening 11, and turns the tie-like member H around the periphery of the item M to guide both end sides of the tie-like member H toward the rear side. Each of the tie guide members 61 and 62 turns around the pivot pins 61a and 62a respectively as the fulcrum and moves toward the rear side and the tie guide portions 61b and 62b are made closer to each other at the rear side of the item M, thereby both end sides of the tie-like member H are made closer to each other. Owing to this, it is made possible to provide a binding machine with which the operator can carries out tying operation with security. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A dental floss device (1) comprises a handle (2) having a head piece (3) and a disposable holder (4) for a length of dental floss (5). The holder (4) comprises a base portion (20) and a pair of spaced-apart jaws (21) extending from the base and which extend to embrace the head piece (3) of the handle (2) when the holder (4) is in a correct alignment configuration with respect to the handle (2). The device has an interlock which ensures that the holder (4) can be interengaged with the head piece (3) only when the holder (4) is correctly aligned with the head piece (3). The interlock comprises a head interlock part provided by interlock grooves (10) and a holder interlock part provided by corresponding interlock tongues (11). There are two interlock grooves (10) and corresponding interlock tongues (11) which slidably interengage when the holder (4) is correctly aligned with the head piece (3). If the holder (4) is turned so that it is not correctly aligned with the head piece (3), the interlock tongues (11) of the holder(4) prevent engagement of the holder (4) with the head piece (3). Thus there is no risk that a user will incorrectly align and engage the dental floss holder with the head piece (3).
