Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to enclosure members that include a seal dispensed onto the enclosure surface, and methods of dispensing such seals. A dispensed seal may be formed from an elastomeric material using a dispensing apparatus. The seal may be formed as a continuously dispensed bead that begins as a first ramped portion, continues as a second portion, and ends as a third portion positioned over the first ramped portion such that the first and second portions are have a combined cross-sectional area substantially equal to the cross-sectional area of the second portion. The seal may also be non-contiguous and formed from two or more members with multiple ramped portions. The ramped and inverted ramp portions prevent protrusions and depressions in the thickness of the seal. The seal may include one or more secondary structures dispensed on the surface of the seal and/or a surface of the enclosure surface.

Abstract: A container includes container body (120) defining an interior (122) and an opening (124) leading to the interior. A lid (140) is movable with respect to the container body to move the container between a closed position in which the lid covers the opening and an opened position in which the opening is exposed. A housing (180) is affixed to an upper portion of the container body, adjacent to the opening. A release (160) is movably housed within the housing. The release is configured to move between a locked position in which the release retains the lid in the closed position, and an unlocked position, in which the release permits the lid to move into the opened position. The release moves from the locked position to the unlocked position by a first movement in a radially inward direction of the container, followed by a second movement in an axially upward direction of the container.

Abstract: A set for mechanical processing suspended fibrous material includes a die plate having receiving openings in a predefined arrangement for insertion of blade-shaped processing elements which jut out on a process side and are flowed onto by the fibrous material. The blade-shaped processing elements have each a plurality of foot regions in longitudinally spaced-apart relation, which pass through the die plate (2) and jut out from the die plate on a process-distal.
