Patent EP-0183774-A4 (EP)
Title: Shopping cart security device.
Inventor: UPTON GENE
IPC: B62B3/14
Filed: 1985-05-10
Abstract: A security device for use on shopping carts comprises an extra wheel (1) adapted to be installed on a cart (2) such that it normally travels along the ground at location spaced behind the front wheels (8), and a locking assembly (16) for locking the extra wheel (1) in a turn-inducing orientation when actuated by someone pushing the cart over a raised barrier (27). The extra wheel (1) is mounted on the cart by a telescopic mounting assembly (3) comprising first and second telescoping cylinders (4, 5). The first cylinder (4) is adapted to be mounted on the cart in a vertical orientation at a position spaced behind the front wheels (8), and the extra wheel (1) is mounted at the lower end of the second cylinder (5) which is telescopically engaged in the first cylinder (4). Swivelling motion of the extra wheel (1) is allowed by rotation of the second cylinder (5), and the locking assembly (16) is arranged to lock the second cylinder (5) against rotation as soon as the operator attempts to make a turn after it has been actuated by the second cylinder (5) sliding out of the first cylinder (4) as a result of the front end of the cart (2) passing over the barrier (27).
Patent EP-0237560-A4 (EP)
Title: Disposable umbrella and method of manufacture.
Inventor: REX JAMES R
IPC: A45B13/00
Filed: 1986-09-09
Abstract: The umbrella (100) has two parts: a flexible water impermeable canopy (102) and a rectangular rigid frame (104). Pockets (126, 128) are formed in two parallel sides of the canopy. The frame has outer dimensions substantially matching the outer dimensions of the canopy. A center fold line (138) in the frame defines two equal side panels (140, 142) and allows the side panels to fold together into a closed position. The canopy is fitted on the top of the frame by bending the side panels opposite the closed position until the frame sides (134, 136) slip into the canopy pockets. The panels are then returned to the closed position. Handles (156, 158) cut in the side panels fold down for use and position the umbrella in a peak-roof shape when aligned and held by one hand.
Patent EP-0269713-A4 (EP)
Title: Containers having resealable closure devices.
Inventor: SORENSEN TERRY J
IPC: G09F3/02
Filed: 1987-06-09
Abstract: A self-adhesive label (16) has discrete areas having differently patterned adhesive coverages. Thus, areas (18, 32) where permanent adhesion is desired have full or 100 % coverage of a permanent adhesive whereas areas (22, 24) where lesser adhesion is desired have fine patterns with lesser percentages of coverage, such as 30 % coverage of the same adhesive which would permit a resealable mode of operation. This type of label could be applied from backing tape to a cereal box, for example, to control operation of a dispensing flap or spout.

Title: Decorative sheet and method of manufacturing the same.
Inventor: OGATA TOMOHIDE
IPC: B32B21/02
Filed: 1987-07-09
Abstract: A decorative sheet having a layer of a colored opaque resin in which a plurality of wooden chips are scattered so that the wooden chips are exposed to the exterior of a flat outer surface of this layer; a decorative sheet having a layer of a colored opaque resin in which a plurality of wooden chips are scattered, and a layer of a transparent resin or a layer of a glass fiber-containing transparent resin, which is formed on the layer of a colored opaque resin; and a decorative sheet in which a layer of a colored opaque resin containing a plurality of wooden chips scattered therein is formed on a substrate. In the decorative sheets thus formed, the side surfaces of the wooden chips scattered in each layer of a colored opaque resin, which side surfaces are exposed to the exterior of the outer surface of this layer, are arranged in parallel with the outer surface of the decorative sheet, and the grain of the wooden chips appears wholly and effectively on the outer surface of the decorative sheet. Thus it is possible to obtain a beautiful decorative sheet in which the grain of the wooden chips appears distinctly.

Patent EP-0527735-A4 (EP)
Title: Cholesterol removal
IPC: A23L5/20
Filed: 1990-10-12
Abstract: Cholesterol is removed from organic or biological substances such as milk and dairy products. Removal is carried out by contacting the substance with cyclodextrin which has been bound to an inert support. In order to reduce risk of spoilage the temperature may be maintained below 18  DEG C during cholesterol removal. The cyclodextrin is regenerated by elution of the adsorbed cholesterol using acetic acid or mixtures of butanol and acetic acid as the eluant.

Patent EP-0553211-A4 (EP)
Title: Improved solar cell lamination apparatus
IPC: H01L31/042
Filed: 1991-09-18
Abstract: Apparatus (60) for simultaneously laminating thin polymeric sheets (97) onto at least one surface of a plurality of spacedly disposed substrates, such as photovoltaic modules (10). By simultaneously accommodating the lamination of a plurality of modules (10), the cost of the back-end fabrication of those modules is substantially reduced. The apparatus includes a plurality of diaphragms (80) adapted to forcibly and simultaneously urge the polymeric sheets (97) against at least one surface of each of the respective modules (10) to be laminated. The force is preferably generated by a pump which creates a vacuum between the diaphragms (80) and the substrate surface.
Patent EP-0559833-A4 (EP)
Title: Tamper proof cap and container
IPC: B65D41/34
Filed: 1991-12-03
Abstract: A tamper evident cap designed for threading onto a container by conventional bottle capping machinery. The cap includes a first set of spaced-apart lugs for engaging a second set of spaced-apart lugs of a container. The lugs of the cap and the lugs of the container neck are constructed to slide relative to each other upon threading of the cap onto the container while engaging each other to prevent unthreading of the cap from the container. The container neck is especially suited for glass bottles which must be blow molded. The cap includes a first skirt portion and a separable strip, and may include a second skirt portion that remains on the container neck after the separable strip has been removed. The gap between the skirt portions left by removing the separable strip indicates that the cap has been tampered with.

Abstract: Une machine à cintrer est utilisée pour cintrer une pièce avec précision. Une position d'engagement entre les moules supérieur et inférieur est ordonnée sur la base d'une valeur D indiquant une position de contact théorique entre les moules supérieur et inférieur qui correspondent à un angle de flexion cible pour cintrer une pièce avec précision. Une déflexion mécanique théorique est calculée sur la base d'une charge théorique pour effectuer le cintrage par rapport à une valeur moyenne des angles de flexion. Une déflexion réelle de la machine est calculée sur la base d'une pression réelle générée par un cylindre hydraulique, et une valeur de corrections de la valeur D est calculée sur la base de la différence entre la déflexion mécanique théorique et sa déflexion réelle. De plus, la précision de l'angle de flexion par rapport aux diverses conditions de pliage doit être améliorée, et la valeur de corrections doit être réduite. Un dispositif permettant de calculer une valeur de la distance D comprend un organe d'introduction permettant d'introduire les données relatives au matériau de la pièce, à la résistance à la traction, à l'épaisseur de la plaque, etc., un organe d'estimation de la déflexion de la pièce, un organe de calcul de l'ampleur de l'effet de ressort, un organe d'estimation du débattement par cintrage non guidé, un organe de calcul de l'angle de retenue de la pièce, un organe de calcul de la force de pression lorsqu'une pièce est retenue et un organe de calcul de la valeur de déplacement de la table.
