Patent NZ-268522-A (NZ)
Title: Wrap-around bottle/can carrier and blank; heel apertures hold bottom portion of adjacent articles in place
Inventor: SUTHERLAND ROBERT L
IPC: B65D71/22
Filed: 1994-06-20
Abstract: Means for holding the bottoms of petaloid shaped bottles in place in a wrap-around carrier. Side panel apertures include flaps connected to the side panel by fold lines which are inwardly curved at their upper portions. The lower portions of each pair of flaps extend toward each other so as to engage one or more support feet of the adjacent bottle and be forced out from the side panel thereby. The curved portion of the fold lines biases the flaps against the support feet, regardless of which portion of the feet engage the flaps, to assist in holding the bottles in place within the carrier. Fold lines extending from the flap edges to the flap fold lines and hook-shaped slits at the upper ends of the flaps allow the side flaps to flex lengthwise.

Title: Dynamoelectric machine rotor ventilation
Inventor: FERGUSON JAMES HAROLD
IPC: H02K1/32
Filed: 2001-10-24
Abstract: A dynamoelectric machine has a stator member, a rotor member, a first shroud and a second shroud. The first shroud and the second shroud members are mounted to the rotor adjacent respective first and second end portions of the rotor for rotation with the rotor. The first and second shrouds extend radially over and are spaced from the respective radially extending first and second end portions of the rotor to respectively define radial inlet and outlet paths therewith. The first and second shrouds each have a first radially inner end adjacent and spaced from the shaft to define a gas inlet or outlet, respectively, and a second radial outer end mounted to the rotor adjacent and spaced apart the ventilation ducts for communicating gas between the ventilation ducts and the inlet and outlet paths. The second outlet shroud is spaced further from the shaft than the inlet shroud so as to facilitate the gas flowing in the inlet shroud and out the outlet shroud during normal machine operation. Fan motors are provided at the inlet and outlet of the shrouds to direct gas flow. The present invention provides for an improvement in windage loss by angularly accelerating the gas prior to entering the ventilation ducts of the rotor and an additional improvement by partially reclaiming energy at the outlet shroud energy by angularly decelerating the gas flow.
