Patent CA-2435588-A1 (CA)
Inventor: EDWARDS MICHAEL
IPC: B65D85/64
Filed: 2003-07-18
Abstract: A packaging arrangement provides a top packaging panel and a bottom packaging panel which receives a tub portion and a first and a second wall portion of a tub and surround. The packaging arrangement provides a compact transportable unit which readily fits within a rather compact package. The packaging panels are preferably manufacture of Styrofoam or the like to absorb shock and protect the tub portion and wall portions. A tub slot is substantially U-shaped to receive a tub end. That is, tub slot receives the tub portion in a substantially vertical orientation in which the tub portion stands on end and is restrained between the panels. The first wall portion slot and the second wall portion slot are substantially If-shaped and are nested to form a larger U-shape within which the tub slot is arranged. That is, the tub slot forms an inverted U relative the orientation of the larger U-shape formed by the first and second wall portion slot. When the tub portion is nested within the wall portions between the panels a rigid yet compact packaging arrangement is provided.

Title: Pump which can be actuated by a hand lever
Inventor: VON SCHUCKMANN ALFRED
IPC: B05B11/00
Filed: 2002-03-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a pump (4) which can be actuated by a hand lever, is used to spray liquids (3), and can be especially placed on bottles (1) or the like. Said pump comprises a piston (13) which can be linearly displaced in a chamber (17) on the side of the housing, against the force of a compression spring, and which is used to spray the liquid (3) out of a mouthpiece nozzle (24). The piston (13) is coupled to the pivotably positioned hand lever (6) by means of a connecting tractional member (G) in such a way that the pivoting movement of the hand lever (6) pulls the piston (13) in the direction of the liquid (3) moving towards the mouthpiece nozzle (24). The connecting tractional member (G) extends from the rear side (49) of the piston (13), parallel to the travel of the piston and in the direction of the mouthpiece nozzle (24). A section (48) is provided on the rear side (49) of the piston (13), as a carrier for the same (13), forming a single element therewith. In order to obtain a solution which is advantageous in terms of construction and handling, bearing journal sections (6') of the hand lever (6) are suspended in open slits (9), loaded by the compression force of the spring (15) towards a slit end, and the opening (O), which is partially surrounded by the frame-shaped connecting tractional member (G) in the longitudinal direction of the pump, can be pivoted, on the hand lever side of the compressed spring (15), on the end (25) of the supporting tube (26) which is to receive the mouthpiece (23).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un modèle mammifère non humain transgénique d'une maladie auto-immune possédant un gène OX40L transféré, ainsi qu'une application de ce modèle au criblage d'un remède pour cette maladie auto-immune. En fabriquant des souris transgéniques qui expriment de façon constante OX40L, une des molécules de la famille TNF dans les lymphocytes T, on a découvert que ces souris souffrent de maladies auto-immunes et peuvent, par conséquent, être utilisées en tant que modèles de maladies auto-immunes. Un modèle mammifère non humain transgénique souffrant de la maladie auto-immune peut être fabriqué en exprimant le gène OX40L sous régulation par un promoteur lck spécifique du lymphocyte T. Le mammifère non humain transgénique obtenu souffre d'une maladie auto-immune telle que pneumonie interstitielle, maladie intestinale inflammatoire, splénomégalie, adénite ou hypergammaglobulinémie, et peut être efficacement utilisé dans le criblage d'un remède destiné à une telle maladie auto-immune.
