Abstract: A quick-release post apparatus for a press comprises a pair of opposed, spaced post members with a pivoted link mounted in one post member and a pivoted swing arm mounted in the other post member. The link is movable between the opposed first and second post members. The swing arm includes a hook for engaging a rod in the link whereby the link compressively pre-loads the ends of the opposed first and second post members against a removable block, which is interposed between the opposed ends of the first and second post members. The post can thereby be quickly reconfigured between an open position permitting passage between the first and second post members when the block is removed, and a closed position when the block is in place between the post members where the post is a rigid, load-bearing member.

Abstract: There is provided a water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsion which readily converts to an oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion by the addi-tion of aqueous fluid to the w/o microemulsion, whereby any water-soluble biologically-active material in the aqueous phase is released for absorption by the body. The w/o microemulsion is particularly useful for storing proteins and the like for long peri-ods of time at room temperature and above until they are ready for use, at which time the addition of aqueous fluid converts the microemulsion to an o/w emulsion and releases the protein.

Abstract: An arrangement for molding a front or back polystyrene mold half which is used, with a second complementary back or front mold half, for subsequent molding of a soft contact lens such as a hydrogel soft contact lens. The arrangement is designed with heat flow considerations in mind to minimize the molding cycle time, while producing uniformly precise and accurate optical quality mold halves. Each mold half defines a convex curved surface and a concave curved surface spaced therefrom, with one of the surfaces defining an optical quality curved surface for the soft contact lens. A heated molding machine introduces molten polystyrene through a hot runner system to a plurality of mold cavities, each of which defines an optical quality curved surface and also a second noncritical surface. The optical quality surface of the mold cavity is positioned further away from the heated hot runner side of the mold than the second surface, which allows faster cooling of the optical quality surface of the mold cavity. This allows quicker setting and locking of minimal temperature residual stresses on the optical quality side of the mold half and a faster molding cycle time. Each mold cavity has a first insert on the optical quality side of the mold cavity and a second insert on the second side. Each of the first and second inserts has a circumferential cooling passageway defined therearound or in proximity for the first inserts, and also includes a bubbler positioned internally therein. Coolant is circulated in a turbulent mode through the circumferential passageways -39- 1 and also through the bubblers against inner surfaces of the insert to provide rapid cooling of the mold cavity.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the manufacture of a pet food having a transverse, fibrous striated matrix which imparts a superior mechanical cleaning action to the teeth of a pet when chewed. The apparatus incudes an extruder through which a fiber bearing food mixture is advanced, the discharge outlet end of which is equipped with a die assembly which induces a state of laminar flow in the food material stream. The die assembly is constructed of a first spacer plate having an annular opening positioned to receive and stabilize the food stream advanced through the die assembly. A breaker plate adjacent to the first spacer plate, receives the flow stabilized food stream and effects a first, discontinuous, alignment of the fibers in the stream. A second spacer plate receives the food stream discharged form the breaker plate. The second spacer plate has a length at least twice that of the first spacer plate, whereby the fibers in the food stream are aligned into a continuous transversely aligned state. Thereafter the food stream is advanced through orifices of a die plate positioned to receive the food ingredient mixture discharged from the second spacer plate. By advancing the fiber bearing food stream sequentially through each of the components of the die assembly a state of laminar flow induced in the food mixture whereby an extrudate having a transverse fiber striated matrix is obtained.

Abstract: There is provided a method for forming a round, hemispherical shape at the forward insertion end of a tampon pledget after the pledget has been assembled within a tampon applicator. The pledget is assembled within the applicator so that a portion of its fibers is exposed at an open insertion end of the applicator. After assembly, an insertion end formation tool is applied lo the exposed fibers to form a depression in the middle of the insertion end and a full periphery cushion that flares peripherally outward from the depression. The insertion end formation tool has a reverse-donut shaped curvature with a central projection or spike. The central spike reduces the axial force necessary to form the full periphery cushion by radially displacing the fibers in the central location or middle of the insertion end of the pledget. With the insertion end formed in accordance with the method of present invention, the full periphery cushion provides a rounded, forward or insertion end to facilitate an application of the tampon for its intended use.
