Abstract: An apparatus and method for forming a cover about an article and for automatically fastening the cover to the article, and optionally for automatically placing a label on the covered article. The article may be an article such as a potted plant and the cover may be a decorative cover. The invention satisfies the need for a means for rapidly covering and fastening the cover about an article with a minimal amount of manual effort and in a location having a limited amount of available space. The apparatus comprises a rotatable platform having at least one opening sized to receive the article. At least portions of a sheet of material are supported in a position generally over the opening. A cover forming assembly having contacting portions for contacting the sheet of material is disposed in the opening in the support surface. The apparatus also comprises a tying device for automatically applying a band or fastener about a portion of the outer surface of the covered article for fastening the cover about the article when the platform is rotated into a fastening position. The apparatus may also comprise a labeling device for automatically applying a label to a portion of the outer surface of the cover of the covered article before the covered article is removed from the platform. The apparatus may further comprise an assembly for securing and releasing the sheet of material in the cover forming position so the sheet is immobilized until after the sheet is moved to the forming position. The apparatus may further comprise an assembly such as a sheet feeder for automatically placing a sheet of material on the support surface. The apparatus may further comprise a pick and place apparatus for automatically picking the article up from an article supply and placing the article into the opening to form the covered article. The apparatus may further comprise means for automatically removing the covered article from the opening of the platform. The apparatus may further comprise means for automatically elevating the covered article as the removal station is approached.

Abstract: A plastic tamper indicating closure (12) including a base wall (13), a peripheral skirt (14) having an inner surface with interengaging threads (15) engaging cooperating threads on a container such that said closure (12) is removed by relative rotation. A first interrupted score line (18) extends circumferentially about the skirt defining a weakened line by interrupted scores forming bridges and defining a wider connecting portion (19). The score line (18) defines a tamper indicating band (17) which has portions for engaging an annular bead (26) on a container (11) to inhibit removal of the closure (12) such that the bridges must be broken to remove the closure. The tamper indicating band has a first axial score line (20) adjacent the connecting portion (19) that has its upper end intersecting the interrupted score line (18). A second axial score line (21) is spaced circumferentially from the first axial score line (20) and extending from the lower edge of the tamper indicating band (17) and has an upper edge spaced from the weakened line of the band to define a strap (22) such that the band (17) successively expands at the second score line (21) and the first score line (20) as the closure (12) is applied to a container (11) and as the closure (12) is removed, the strap (22) yields and the weakened line is broken and the strap (22) is severed at said second score line (21) leaving the tamper indicating band (17) attached to the closure (12) by the connecting portion (19).

Abstract: The present invention is for method and means by the manufacture of a product of expanded polymer, by which is obtained a weight per unit volume which is essentially lower than that of homogeneous expanded material. The starting material for the manufacture of a product according to the invention can be either a specially manufactured starting material or scrap and recovered material. The pieces of expanded polymer are supplied in controlled quantities through a feeder (3) to a space (1) for the application of glue drops which are sprayed into the space from one or more dies (6). In the space (2) the pieces of polymer are dried by means of microwave energy which is obtained from an energy generator (9) and magnetrones (10). The dried pieces then are discarded from the space (2) together with the air flow through the opening (11). By the manufacture of a product according to the invention one starts from the pieces with glue applied to them as described above. The pieces are put into some kind of mould wherein they are pressed against each other. Thereupon the material is heated so that the glue becomes sticky and the pieces attach to each other. The heating is done by means of microwave energy which finds its way into and homogenously heats the whole volume of material. The method according to the invention makes it possible to manufacture products which retain their elasticity and have a weight per volume unit essentially lower than that of the starting material.

Abstract: Flotteur de sauvetage comportant une capsule gonflable et une corde ou sangle fixée aux extrémités de celle-ci et destinée à passer sur l'épaule et sous le bras de l'utilisateur. La capsule étanche est constituée d'un élément en forme d'éprouvette et d'un bouchon en forme de fond d'éprouvette. Un flotteur à remplir, un petit récipient à gaz et un mécanisme de percement de celui-ci, un idpositif de détente, un clapet antiretour et un sifflet se trouvent à l'intérieur de la capsule. La capsule se place contre la poitrine d'une personne afin que celle-ci puisse la manipuler. Lorsqu'elle veut utiliser le flotteur, la personne saisit la capsule et l'éloigne de son corps, ce qui provoque l'ouverture du bouchon de la capsule étanche due à la traction exercée par un fil (1), et les fils assurent l'extraction de la totalité du flotteur. Le reste de parties internes demeurent à l'intérieur de la capsule. Pendant l'extraction du flotteur, le mécanisme perce le récipient, ce qui provoque le remplissage du flotteur. Le gaz de remplissage traverse le sifflet en faisant un bruit fort. Une fois que le flotteur est rempli, on peut également faire passer la sangle de l'épaule sous le bras.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of manufacturing a composite component (19) consisting of an aluminium sheet (7) and a layer (12) of aluminium foam. Molten aluminium foam (4) is applied directly to the pre-heated aluminium sheet (7), thus producing a diffusion-weld joint between the aluminium sheet (7) and the aluminium foam (4) and hence a durable bond. Compared with the adhesive bonding of aluminium-foam panels and aluminium sheets, the method proposed by the invention is extremely cost-effective.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif qui comprend un boîtier (2, 102) ouvert d'un côté, qui est encastré dans un élément d'un véhicule automobile (1, 100) tel qu'un accoudoir, une console centrale ou un élément analogue. Un chariot (4, 104) sur l'extrémité avant duquel une plaque-support (11, 111) est articulée par l'intermédiaire de bras pivotants (7, 8, 107, 108), est monté coulissant longitudinalement dans le boîtier (2, 102). Lorsque le chariot (4, 104) est en position extrême extérieure, la plaque-support (11, 111) est soulevée sous l'action de ressorts (7a, 180, 181) et verrouillée dans un plan qui est sensiblement aligné avec le dessus (1a, 100a) de l'élément (1, 100). Une touche de libération (20, 193) disposée sur la plaque-support (11, 111) permet de débloquer le dispositif de verrouillage (41, 42, 108a, 190, 192), d'abaisser la plaque-spport (11, 111) sur le chariot (4, 104) et de la rentrer conjointement avec le chariot dans le boîtier (2, 102). Des éléments (31, 32, 76, 107a, 170, 160, 160a, 181) coordonnent l'élévation de la plaque-support (11, 111) avec le mouvement du chariot (4, 104) afin d'empêcher toute collision entre la plaque-support (11, 111) et le boîtier (2, 102). Un bloc-notes (12, 112) et un support (15, 115) pour un instrument d'écriture (15a, 150) sont placés sur la plaque-support (11, 111).
