Title: Tool for forming a lining over a rim of a container
Inventor: SLACK HENRY WILLIAM
IPC: B29C57/00
Filed: 2013-01-11
Abstract: A tool 92 for forming a lining over a container rim comprises engaging means for engaging with the lining. The engaging means have at least two portions 93 movable relative to each other, and have an outer perimeter (94, fig. 15) and an inner perimeter (95). The portions are movable between a first position and a second position, the resulting inner and outer perimeters being longer when the portions are in the second position than when they are in the first position. When the portions are in the first position the outer perimeter is shorter than an inner perimeter of the rim of the container, and when the portions are in the second position the inner perimeter is longer than an outer perimeter of the rim of the container. A corresponding method comprises: positioning the engaging means in the first position so that it is surrounded by a part 80 of the lining that protrudes from the container; moving the portions to the second position; and then moving them parallel to the tool axis so that the engaging means passes around the rim 62 to wrap the part of the lining over the rim.

Title: A method of colouring titanium or titanium alloy
Inventor: FILIPIC GREGOR
IPC: C25D11/26
Filed: 2014-10-03
Abstract: A method is described whereby titanium or titanium alloys are colored in different colours .A processing chamber, such as a quartz tube 1, may be used which is sealed with two gate valves 2,3. The work pieces are arranged in the processing chamber on a sample holder 4. A vacuum is then applied to the chamber 1. Oxygen is then passed into the processing chamber and a magnetic field applied. The method utilises an oscillating magnetic field in a low pressure oxygen-containing atmosphere to initiate titanium oxidation. The oxide layer so produced is thick enough to obtain chosen colour through interferometric effects. Colours range from yellow with the thinnest oxide layer, through to purple, blue, gold, violet, green to grey. No deposition of coatings or anodic oxidation occurs. This can be used for various applications, including: decorative purposes, labelling, protecting the surfaces made of titanium or titanium alloys, and increasing the biocompatibility.
