Abstract: A packaging system for bulk goods or material comprises a hollow polygonal blown plastic form or container for accommodating the material which is to be contained therein. A cardboard cover surrounds and is fixed to the hollow plastic form. The hollow plastic form has at least one outer edge indentation in a corner area, corresponding to a polygonal area of the cardboard cover which can be folded inside for locking or securement purposes, which is symmetrical to a corner fold line of the cardboard cover, and which is connected to the cardboard cover by at least one stamped line arranged perpendicular to the corner fold line and two fold lines forming a V-shape. The packaging system enables secure fastening between the hollow plastic form and the wrapper. To achieve this, the polygonal area of the cover is shaped as a square, and the V-shaped fold lines merge into two stamped lines culminating in a point. The corner shaped indentation is defined by flat surfaces adapting to this area of the cardboard cover, which may also be plastic, or other suitable material.

Abstract: A packaging machine for packaging articles into cartons selected from, at least, a first carton or a second carton is described, wherein the first and second cartons are of a different type or size. The cartons are stored in at least one hopper, and picked for packing by a carton engaging means arranged to remove cartons from said at least one hopper and transport them sequentially to a first predetermined position. From there the cartons are transferred to a paper feed chain which transports the cartons to a second predetermined position, from where the cartons are combined with said articles. The paper feed chain comprises a support means carrying a first endless chain from which is depended a first set of guide lugs and a second endless chain from which is depended a second set of guide lugs. The guide lugs are interleaved to produce carton receiving zones, the length of which can be altered, for different carton sizes or types, by altering the relative positions of the first and second set of guide lugs. The support means is movable such that when the relative positions of the lugs is changed, this change can be compensated for such that the position of the first set of lugs with respect to said first predetermined position is unaltered.

Abstract: A continent ostomy port device has a face plate defining an aperture alignable with the opening of a stoma in the user's body and a closure adjacent to the aperture is adapted to permit covering and uncovering of the aperture in the face plate. A catheter extends from one side of the face plate proximally, and one end of the catheter is disposed within the ostomy site when the port device is in use. The catheter has continuous exterior and interior side walls, the latter defining a major lumen and is sized and shaped for non-surgical insertion through a stoma to a sufficient distance that the presence of the catheter within the stoma provides a barrier which reduces the incidence of prolapse, without the use of extraneous, externally applied materials or additional surgery. A removable cartridge fits snugly and slideably within the major lumen of the catheter of the device so as to prevent inadvertent escape of body waste material from the stoma when the cartridge is in place, without use of an ostomy bag, and to clean the interior side wall of the catheter as the cartridge is pressed into the major lumen. An anti-reflux valve is activated to prevent escape of body waste and deactivated for passage of fluid. Retaining structure is connected to the catheter, and is non-surgically, snugly fittable into the stoma, to cause the port device to be self-retaining in a normal use position within a stoma, without surgery or fixation materials.
