Title: Carousel-type apparatus for manufacturing caps made of plastics by compression molding
Inventor: ZUFFA ZENO
IPC: B29C43/08
Filed: 2000-08-28
Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing threaded caps (A) comprises a plurality of compression molding assemblies which are arranged on a rotating carousel and comprise an upper male mold half (1) and a lower female mold half (2). The male mold half (1) comprises a tubular element (34, 34*), a sleeve (57, 57*) guided coaxially to said tubular element (34, 34*) and a punch (13, 13*) guided in the tubular element (34, 34*) and having a helical slot for forming the thread of the cap. The punch (13, 13*) enters the female mold half (2) and produces, together with it, the cap through compression of a dose of plastic material deposited in the female mold half (2). After the spacing of the punch (13, 13*) from the female mold half, the removal of the cap (A) from the punch (13, 13*) occurs by way of a removal device, which comprises a ring gear (64, 64*) associated with the sleeve (57, 57*) and provided with a collar (60, 60*) in sliding contact on the punch (13, 13*), a rod (69, 120) which can slide axially in a seat (74) of the carousel and supports a gear (65, 65*) meshing with the ring gear (64, 64*) and connected to a motor drive mechanism (91-97, 115-116).

Title: Feed device having a function of sustained release for a mixing solution
Inventor: OKUBO TAKAYASU
IPC: B05B7/24
Filed: 2000-08-02
Abstract: A feed device having a function of sustained release for a mixing solution is provided, which can release the mixing solution in a suitable amount in correspondence with the flow rate of running water to thereby use the mixing solution efficiently without a loss so that the service life and exchange period of a cartridge can be prolonged.        The feed device comprises a body (1) having a supply channel (4), a cartridge (10) provided in the body (1) defining in the inside thereof a holding chamber (49) for holding a mixing solution and a dilution chamber (50, 51), and means (40, 42) for rotating the cartridge (10). The dilution chamber is communicated with the supply channel (4) through a sustained release outlet (12), while the dilution chamber is supplied with the mixing solution from the holding chamber (49). Furthermore, the feed device may comprise an inner magnet (52, 53) provided in the cartridge (10) and an outer magnet (55, 56) provided on the body (1). When water passes through the supply channel (4), the mixing solution supplied to the dilution chamber (50) is diluted with the water introduced thereinto through the sustained release outlet (12) and the mixing solution or diluted mixing solution is stirred by the inner magnet (52, 53) maintained at a standstill as attracted by the outer magnet (55, 56) while the mixing solution diluted to a uniform low concentration is sustainedly released from the dilution chamber (50) through the sustained release outlet (12) to the supply channel (4).

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for enhancing the immunogenici ty of a preselected protein or peptide antigen in a mammal. Immunogenicity is enhanced by fusing the preselected antigen to an immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region to produce an Fc-antigen fusion protein. The Fc-antigen fusi on proteins bind Fc receptors on the surface of antigen presenting cells, there by targeting the antigen to the antigen presenting cells in the mammal. In addition, disclosed is a family of adjuvants, for example, an Fc-adjuvant fusion protein, for use in combination with the Fc-antigen fusion proteins t o enhance or modulate a particular immune response against the preselected antigen.

Title: Pivot limiting mechanism for troughing idler
Inventor: TAPP ALLAN G
IPC: B65G39/12
Filed: 2001-09-06
Abstract: A troughing idler (62) for use in supporting a conveyor belt of a troughed belt conveyor system in which the troughing idler (62) includes a pair of spaced center rolls (64, 66) and a pair of angled side troughing rolls (40, 42). The pair of center rolls (64, 66) are mounted to a pivot bracket (58) and their axes of rotation are spaced from each other by a span length. The center rolls (64, 66) are selected such that each center roll (64, 66) has the same outer diameter. The size of the center rolls (64, 66) is selected such that the outer diameter of the center rolls is greater than the outer diameter of each side troughing roll (40, 42). The increase in the outer diameter of the center rolls (64, 66) relative to the outer diameter of the side troughing rolls (40, 42) reduces the amount of indentation resistance for the troughing idler (62). The troughing idler (62) further includes a pivot limiting mechanism (36, 68) that limits the amount of clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the pivot brackets (58) used to support the pair of center rolls (64, 66).
