Patent CA-2465169-A1 (CA)
Title: Liquid container with applicator
Inventor: TSAUR GARRY
IPC: B65D25/38
Filed: 2004-04-23
Abstract: Disclosed is a liquid container with an applicator comprising an elongated and sealed container provided with at least one prescribed opening means near its one end and filled with a liquid in a sealed state. An inner tube is coaxially interposed in the container with its one end conjoined with corresponding end of the container, while the other end is flush with the end where the opening means is provided. An elongated tubular stump is extended from the end of the container where the opening means is provided. The front end of the tubular stump is wrapped with an enclosure which may serve as an applicator in the form of a cotton swab or a brush. As soon as the container is opened by the opening means, the content inside can not flow out of the container automatically due to the capillary repulsion caused by small tubular diameter and the external atmospheric pressure. The flow out of the content along the inner tube must wait until the enclosure contacts or rubs an object such that the surface tension of the liquid is broken, the liquid is then extracted out of the container and absorbed by the applicator for service in a clean sanitary condition.

Title: Process for removing ink from paper pulp and float cell usedfor this process
Inventor: SERRES ALAIN
IPC: D21C5/02
Filed: 2004-05-14
Abstract: The de-inking procedure consists of circulating the pulp in a flotation cell comprising a chamber (2) with a vertical axis in which the pulp can move downwards from top to bottom, passing through a series of stages (E1...En), in each of which bubbles (13) introduced in the lower part of the chamber pass through it. The bubbles reach the top of the chamber in the form of a foam (5) carrying particles of non-soluble materials, the foam being removed at the top while the de-inked pulp is drawn off at the bottom. In each of the aforementioned stages the rising bubbles follow the under-surface of a spiral guide (12) to reach the passages taking them to the higher levels. In addition, the speed of the pulp is accelerated at the passage entrances by a progressive reduction in the passages' cross-section to draw the bubbles through and mix them with the pulp.
