Title: Cap closure
Inventor: VON SPRECKELSEN HENNING
IPC: B65D17/30
Filed: 1999-04-09
Abstract: A bottle is formed from a moulded plastics body and an injection moulded neck and cap assembly which can be fused to the body after the body has been filled with a fluid. The body may be provided with a relatively wide mouth to enhance the filling speed. The bottle is particularly suitable for blow moulding in a plant adjacent to a dairy where it will be subsequently filled with a fluid and fused to a pre-sealed neck and cap assembly in a single continuous operation. A foil (70) is interposed between the body and the neck and cap assembly. The neck comprises a base (20) fitted to the body with a removable annular flange (30) connected to a pull ring (42) and secured to the foil (70). A frangible region (32) separates the removable annular flange (30) from the base (20). A plurality of depending teeth (36) each having a saw tooth profile inclined inwardly to a centre of the base are formed in the base adjacent to or in the frangible region (32) such that on removal of the pull ring (42) the foil (70) is torn by the teeth.  The base may be provided with a weakened annular recess (48) that is concealed by a skirt (58) of a cap (50) when the closure is sealed.  This recess (48) causes the base to break and the cap closure to be destroyed if any attempt is made to prise the base (20) from the mouth (6) of the bottle. This provides tamper evidence by destruction of the closure.

IPC: B25B7/10
Filed: 1999-05-24
Abstract: Self-adjusting pliers for grasping a work piece include first and second pli er members each including a handle portion, a jaw portion, and an intermediate portion therebetween. The self-adjusting pliers include a first pivot pin about which the first and second plier members pivot permitting the jaw portions to converge on a work piece and grasp the work piece in response to  initial movement of the handle portions toward each other. The self-adjustin g pliers further include a second pivot pin about which the pliers pivot once pivoting has been terminated about the first pivot pin so as to permit a further grasping force to be applied to the work piece in response to continued movement of the handle portions toward each other. The second pivo t pin is closer to the jaw portions than the first pivot pin to allow for a greater mechanical advantage to be obtained. The self-adjusting pliers also include a biasing spring for biasing the handle portions away from each othe r and the jaw portions away from each other. Self-locking pliers are also provided, either in combination with the self-adjusting pliers or individually, for automatically locking the jaw portions into engagement wit h a work piece.

Title: Removable embolus blood clot filter
Inventor: KLESHINSKI STEPHEN J
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1999-09-23
Abstract: This invention is a blood clot filter (10) which is collapsible toward a central longitudinal axis into a collapsed configuration for insertion into a blood vessel, and which is radially expandable outwardly from the longitudinal axis to an expanded configuration for contact with the inner wall of the blood vessel at two longitudinal spaced locations. A first plurality of spaced, elongate arms (26), in the expanded configuration of the filter (10), curve outwardly away from the longitudinal axis toward the leading end of the filter to form a first filter basket (14), and to center a hub (12) at the trailing end of the filter (14) within the vessel.

Title: Multiple screwdriver
Inventor: YAAR RAN
IPC: B25G1/08
Filed: 2001-08-13
Abstract: A multiple screwdriver includes a tubular body having, at one end, a tip and, at the other end, a cap. The tubular body has an axially extending bore, a first cylinder end in a zone of the tip and a second cylindrical end in a zone of the cap. Between the end of the first cylindrical end and a rim with a hexagonal opening provided at an exit of the tip, a C-shape springy element is located. The internal circumference of the latter circumscribes the hexagonal opening, so that a shank of an interchangeable screwdriver tip can be prevented from falling out. After several interchangeable screwdriver tips are inserted successively through the top of the cap into the axially extending bore and the first interchangeable screwdriver tip has its bit projecting out of the tip, the last interchangeable screwdriver tip is so situated that its top is beneath a hexagonal configuration provided at the top of the switch. By pivoting the switch to the right or left, the hexagonal configuration can coincide or not with a hexagonal cross section of the axially extending bore. If it coincides, the tips can be inserted or let fall out.  When it does not coincide, the interchangeable screwdriver tips are confined in the tubular body.

IPC: E06B1/34
Filed: 2001-10-24
Abstract: A cladded door frame system protects exterior surfaces of door frame members from the elements. The system includes spaced left and right frame members orthogonally joined at upper portions thereof to a header, thus defining a door opening having exterior and interior sides. Each of the frame members includes a side jamb (or header) and a brickmold orthogonally extending along an exteriorly disposed surface of the side jamb (or header). The system also includes first, second and third cladding strips, each of which frictionally engages a respective frame member. Each of the cladding strips includes a U-shaped inner flange that engages three surfaces of one of the jambs (or header) and a U-shaped outer flange that engages three surfaces of one of the brickmolds. The inner flange is joined to the outer flanges at an orthogonal orientation. The inner flange includes a second leg that engages most of the surface area of a door jamb surface of the respective side jamb (or header). The elongate cladding strip is roll formed and made of metal. Each cladding strip is elastically deformable such that the cladding strip may be snapped into position upon one of the frame members for frictional engagement therewith.

Title: Method and apparatus for scrubbing gases, using mixing vanes
Inventor: TRIVETT ANDREW
IPC: B01D53/77
Filed: 2001-11-30
Abstract: A scrubber for exhaust gases comprises a series of nested counter-flow passages including a hot plenum having a star-shaped section. Exhaust gases from the hot plenum surge through a liquid bath and flow in a reverse direction through an inclined array of flat, overlapping, spaced mixing vanes, causing turbulence in the exhaust gases and the formation of highly dispersed tiny bubbles, which enhance the solution of gaseous pollutants into the scrubbing liquid. Mist eliminator vanes strip entrained liquids from the exhaust gases. The hot plenum, reheats the exhaust gases to an unsaturated level. The scrubber is highly effective in reducing particulate matter, stripping sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide from exhaust gases, and reducing the heat signature and visual evidence thereof.

Title: Conveyor belt fault detection apparatus and method
Inventor: KUZIK LARRY J
IPC: B65G43/02
Filed: 2000-03-10
Abstract: A testing system for conveyor belts where there is a plurality of testing sections positioned at various locations along the length of the belt to ascertain condition of the belt in these locations. Each test section comprises a radio frequency identification member so that when the test section passes through a monitoring region where there is a monitoring apparatus, the radio frequency identification member transmits an identification signal to indicate the presence of a testing device. The monitoring apparatus transmits an activating signal to the testing device which in turn directs an electric current through a conductive loop extending transversely across the belt. If there is a fault in the belt which severs the wire so that current does not flow, this is detected by the monitoring apparatus to indicate a fault.
