Abstract: The top of a carton (20), with opposite main panels (22, 24) and opposite side panels (26, 28), has an inner (34) and outer (32) major flap hinged to opposite main panels (22, 24). At each side panel (26, 28), an ear (36, 38) has a lower portion (40) hinged to the side panel (26, 28) and two upper ear-halves (42, 44), one hinged to each of the major flaps (32, 34). To seal the top, adhesive is applied to an outer face of the inner major (34) flap and to the ear-halves (42, 44) extending from either end of one of the major flaps (32, 34), usually the inner major flap (34). Then the inner major flap (34) is folded down and the ear-halves (42, 44) extending there from are folded down and out. The outer major flap (32) with extending ear-halves (42, 44) is folded on top in overlapping relation so that the adhesive bonds. In one aspect, each ear (36, 38) has a notch (76) between the ear-halves (42, 44) to facilitate overlapping of the ear-halves (42, 44). With the carton blank (50) coated with an impermeable coating, the resulting carton (20) is air tight.

Abstract: .cndot.    A holographic projection device for displaying a 3-dimensional image comprises a cylindrical base having a diagonally-cut top portion, and a figurine. The cylindrical base comprises a reflection-type hologram, a point source of white light, and a magnetic element. The figurine has a diagonally-cut bottom portion, and comprises a magnetic element. The reflection-type hologram projects an upright orthoscopic image having both horizontal and vertical parallaxes. The cylindrical base has the capability of detachably mounting the figurine with a magnetic attraction force between the magnetic elements. A downward movement of the magnetic element by gravity turns on the point source of white light when the figurine is detached. An upward movement of the magnetic element turns off the point source of white light when the figurine is magnetically attached. This invention relates to holographic projection devices for displaying a 3-dimensional image, and the principal use of the invention is for optical decoration.

Abstract: It is an object to provide a banding packing machine capable of inexpensively detecting the end of a band reel, thereby contributing to a reduction in a cost. In a banding packing machine having a back pool box (80) in a packing machine body (72) and serving to feed an unused band (B) stored in the back pool box (80) and a band from a band reel (78), the rotating speed of a touch roller (88) is detected when a further required amount of the band is being pulled out of the band reel (78) by band feeding means (82). It is decided that the band is not left in the band reel if the rotating speed is not changed but the rotation is carried out at an almost constant speed, and the tip portion of the band does not arrive at the predetermined position of a band guide arch. Then, the driving operation of a normal rotating roller is stopped based on the decision signal.

Granted: 2012-01-10
Abstract: The system includes a bin hopper which temporarily stores a plurality of small elements, such as medications. The elements are moved out of the bin and singulated into a one-by-one sequence by a series of singulating conveyors.  The resulting sequence of elements is moved onto a main system conveyor where the element is identified and then moved to a loading mechanism which arranges the item so it is ready to be gripped and stored. The system includes a mass storage apparatus comprising a series of four upstanding cylindrical drums, each having a plurality of individually accessible and addressable cell storage locations for the elements. A gripping apparatus removes the elements from the loading mechanism and transfers them to a selected location in a cylindrical drum. When an article is to be dispensed, the drum is rotated so that an ejection arm comes adjacent the desired location in the drum. The ejector arm is actuated, pushing the small element out of its slot, into the center of the drum, where it falls onto a conveyor which moves the dispensed item from the system.
