Title: Corner key door assembly
Inventor: VILHAUER KEVIN
IPC: E06B3/96
Filed: 2003-10-09
Granted: 2012-04-17
Abstract: A closure assembly is provided that includes first and second intersecting members such as a rail and stile. The rail and stile are engaged with one another forming a butt joint, preferably a corner. Male and female keys are respectively secured to the rail and stile with the keys forming a dovetail interlocking relationship with complimentary tapered surfaces. A fastener is received by the keys to expand the tapered surfaces forcing the rail and stile to be drawn into further engagement with one another at the butt joint. The interlocking tapered surfaces produce a stronger joint and eliminate any gap that might result at the joint as the threaded fastener is installed. The door is assembled by securing the male key to the rail. The stile is aligned with the rail and the second key is inserted into a pocket in the stile. The male and female keys are interlocked and a fastening element is installed into the keys to expand the keys and draw the rail and stile into further engagement with one another.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un accessoire de stomie comprenant une paroi avant et une paroi arrière à base d'un matériau souple, formant un sac. La paroi arrière possède une ouverture d'entrée dans le sac, par laquelle les déchets peuvent pénétrer dans le sac, et l'une des parois possède au moins un évent par lequel les gaz peuvent s'échapper du sac et éventuellement un filtre recouvrant lesdits évents, ainsi qu'une ouverture de sortie. Ledit accessoire est équipé d'un rabat scellé à la paroi de manière à recouvrir l'ouverture de sortie du filtre et de manière que, lorsque le rabat est décalé sur le côté, l'ouverture de sortie du filtre est partiellement ou entièrement ouverte. Ledit dispositif se caractérise en ce qu'une extrémité du rabat est scellée à la paroi de manière à permettre au rabat de pivoter dans le plan de la paroi, et en ce que le rabat possède une surface qui peut être scellée libérable à la paroi, ce qui réduit le risque d'adhésion entre les parois du sac de réception à cause de la très faible production de gaz qui crée dans le sac un état analogue à une dépression et, par conséquent, le risque que le contenu viscéral atteignant l'ouverture de la stomie ne puisse pas immédiatement séparer les parois et "tomber" au fond du sac de réception, mais reste et bloque plutôt l'entrée du sac, tout en permettant qu'une faible quantité de gaz puisse s'échapper de l'accessoire de stomie pour éviter des ballonnements.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé destinés à appliquer une solution de saumure sur des produits alimentaires, tels que des croustilles, et permettant d'appliquer une solution de saumure sur un flux continu de produits alimentaires dans un bain de saumure tout en assurant le maintien d'une alimentation continûment rafraîchie en solution de saumure dans ce bain de saumure, cette opération ne nécessitant pas d'évacuation de la saumure utilisée sous forme d'effluent. Les produits alimentaires sont lavés dans un bain d'eau, puis déposés, une quantité donnée d'eau de surface étant entraînée sur les tranches lavées dans un réservoir à bain de saumure. Le réservoir à bain de saumure renferme un volume prédéterminé de solution de saumure, cette solution présentant une concentration prédéterminée en substance de saumurage. Lesdits produits alimentaires sont marinés dans le bain de saumure de façon à être entièrement mouillés, puis extraits du réservoir à bain de saumure, une quantité donnée de solution de surface étant entraînée sur les tranches. La quantité de solution de surface entraînée sur les tranches marinées est supérieure à la quantité d'eau de surface entraînée sur les tranches lavées pré-marinées. Une solution de saumure et/ou des sels sont ajoutés en continu dans le réservoir à bain de saumure en vue de maintenir un volume et une concentration spécifiés de solution de saumure dans le réservoir à bain de saumure. La quantité de solution de saumure extraite du réservoir à bain de saumure est approximativement égale à la quantité de solution de saumure fraîche et/ou de sels ajoutés dans ce réservoir, de sorte que le volume total de solution de saumure dans ledit réservoir à bain de saumure soit remplacé après le traitement d'une quantité prédéterminée de produits alimentaires par l'intermédiaire du réservoir à bain de saumure. Un microbicide peut être ajouté dans le réservoir à bain de saumure afin de prévenir toute croissance microbienne dans ce réservoir, la solution de saumure pouvant être filtrée en vue d'éliminer les contaminants filtrables dudit réservoir.
