Title: Filter device for coffee or the like
Inventor: KATAOKA GEORGE
IPC: A47J31/06
Filed: 2001-08-07
Abstract: A filter device for coffee or the like which includes a container body consisting of an open frame and a blind-end frame including an annular bottom member, and a filter chamber for enclosing substance to be extracted and received in the annular bottom member via a filter, wherein the blind-end frame is adapted to be folded inside the open frame together with the filter chamber. The open frame is formed of sheet material having predetermined rigidity, such as thick paper, non-woven fabric, etc. , while the blind-end frame is formed of deformable sheet material provided with shape retaining characteristic having predetermined rigidity and flexibility such as thin paper, non-woven fabric, etc. These open frame and the blind-end frame are connected so as to be folded. When the filter device is not in use, the blind-end frame is folded and pushed into the open frame while turned back to be stored inside the open frame together with the filter device. Thus, the filter device can be stored or transported in a compact state. For use, the blind-end frame may be expanded while pulling out the filter chamber, restored to the container body of a cup-like shape, and mounted on a coffee cup or the like to be poured with hot water.

Inventor: ZANGL SCOTT J
IPC: F16D7/10
Filed: 2001-10-10
Abstract: A detent type torque overload clutch has a regressive disc spring that exert s a lower engagement force in the disengaged position than in the engaged position. The force exerted by the spring initially increases to a maximum upon compressio n from the engagement preload on the spring, and then decreases upon further compressio n as the disengaged position of the detents is approached. In the disengaged position , the spring moves past flat to a concave shape in which the re-engagement force is small  so that re- engagement can only occur at small relative speeds and torques.

Patent CA-2359139-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SOMMERARD MARTIN PHILIP
IPC: B25B5/14
Filed: 2001-10-15
Abstract: This invention provides a novel apparatus and method for securing a work object, such as a pipe, conduit, bar, rod or the like, using a wrench or other gripping tool that acts as a second set of hands. The wrench is pivotally attached to a support that has a receiving location wherein a work object sits. The wrench can be rotated about its end opposite the mouth so that the mouth engages the work object, and the wrench is held in engagement with the work object by the force of gravity. When a pipe wrench is gripping a work abject in such a way, the work object will be prevented from rotating in one sense, thereby allowing someone practising this invention to use both hands to apply a torque to the work object.

Title: Delardeuse et echarneuse a peaux
Inventor: TREMBLAY PAUL-ARMAND PAT
IPC: C14B1/02
Filed: 2002-02-22
Abstract: Équipement servant à séparer le lard et à écharner les peaux d'animaux gras en une seule opération. La peau est déposée sur la plaque à découper verticale et repliée par le centre avec le côté du lard vers l'extérieur. La peau et la plaque sont déplacées mécaniquement sous deux couteaux fixes disposés à angle de chaque côté de la plaque permettant la coupe du lard. Le lard ainsi coupé tombe dans des chutes dirigeant le lard à un système de convoyeur ne faisant pas partie de cette demande de brevet. La peau passe ensuite à un deuxième stade qui est l'écharnage afin de débarrasser la peau des chairs qui y adhèrent avant de la tanner. Le principe de l'écharneuse utilise deux vis en rotation disposées de chaque côté de la plaque. Les vis en rotation appliquent une pression contre la peau. Les vis possèdent sur la moitié de leur longueur, un filet avec un pas à droite et sur l'autre moitié un filet avec un pas à gauche. Le mouvement de rotation des vis comprimées contre la peau produit le raclage par l'entremise de ses filets. Les vis étant à l'intérieur d'un tuyau recouvrant le maximum de circonférence de la vis, la rotation agit comme un convoyeur et transporte les résidus enlevés de la peau vers les extrémités des vis pour être éliminés. La peau est retenue fermement à la plaque lors de la translation par une pince utilisant des contrepoids pour éviter tous glissements ou déplacements.

Inventor: ROBBINS JOANNE
IPC: A61K49/04
Filed: 2000-08-17
Abstract: Disclosed are a viscosity-standardized combination of solutions and a method of using the solutions for the diagnosis of dysphagia and for radiographic imaging of the oropharynx. This invention is directed to a standardized combination of edible solutions for evaluating human subjects for the presence of dyshagia. Because the solutions have a standard and known viscosity, they promote the systematic study and treatment of swallowing disorders. The combination comprises three solutions: the first a "thin" composition, the second a "nectar thick" composition and the third a"honey thick" composition. The utilities of the subject compositions and methods are several-fold. A primary utility is that by using standardized compositions, consistency in treating dysphagia is promoted. Rather than supplying patients an arbitrarily thickened food or X-ray imaging product, the patient is supplied a composition of known viscosity. The patient's ability to swallow the composition properly i studies (one using the nectar-thick composition, the other using the honey-thick composition) to be compared and contrasted. Moreover, it allows the results from different patients to be compared directly, without variations in viscosity of the imaging agent introducing uncontrolled variables into the comparison.
