Abstract: The shaped block in the path of the fluid from the nozzle of a high pressure fluid jet to be located below the material to be cut or slit by a jet including, preferably, a curvo-linear passage or bore through the block having an entry port aligned with the nozzle for receiving and directing the flow of fluid from the jet after it has slit the material and preventing the fluid from returning to or splashing upon the material after it has entered the passage and a replaceable slug for insertion into the block in the area where the high pressure fluid impinges as it enters the passage.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for fluid jet cutting of a roll of material in situ, e.g. a multiplicate wound roll of material, by which a fluid jet nozzle and a roll of material are rotated relatively to each other about an axis with the roll of material in radially inwardly disposed relation to the nozzle while a fluid jet, e.g. liquid jet, exiting from the nozzle is directed at a selective axial point along the extent of the roll of material to cut circumferentially into and through the roll of material in situ and the spent fluid is concomitantly collected radially inwardly of the roll of material, preferably in an arrangement having fluid jet cutter means including such nozzle, support means including mandrel means, e.g.

Abstract: A device for insertion in a surgically created orifice after ostomy surgery to provide a tube or flow path for the excretion of body wastes from the body organ. There is an enlarged base portion, a tapered portion adjacent thereto and an integral substantially cylindrical portion extending from the tapered portion. The device terminates in an enlarged flared tip or shoulder which is inserted into the orifice in the skin. The enlarged tip or shoulder is larger in diameter than the diameter of the orifice whereby when the shoulder is inserted the ureter, colon or ileum, as the case may be, will enwrap the shoulder and maintain the device in secured position. A disposable bag is provided to be applied to the base portion of the by-pass device.

Abstract: The invention provides a protective or safety closure which inhibits inadvertent opening of the container. The neck portion of the container itself is provided with threads along which a notched portion, for example, in the form of serrations, is provided. The interior of the cap itself is also provided with threads which cooperatively engage the threads in the neck portion. Along the threads in the cap a notched portion, such as in the form of serrations, is provided to engage the serrations of the neck portion to lock the cap in position. Resilient members are also provided on the underside of the cap portion to engage the top of the neck portion which perform the function of bringing the notched portion in the cap into engagement with the notched portion on the neck of the container.

Abstract: Container with pull-tab opener and score line opening area type lid, having a fan-folded member within the container and secured at its edge portions to the underside of the lid in the opening area marginal portions and at its central portion to the underside of the lid in the corresponding central pull-tab opening area and being freely disposed in corresponding fold portions disposed between its edge portions and central portion and folded to a collected position substantially adjacent to the lid, whereby when the tab opener is lifted to provide the lid opening, the attendant displaceable portions of the fan-folded flexible member are outwardly drawn therewith to form a pouring spout for the container.

Abstract: There is provided a safety closure container in which the neck portion of the container has slots and a notch. A cap having lugs is secured to the neck portion, with the lugs being accommodated by its slots. The cap is also provided with a latch at its forward end and a hinge. In addition, the cap has a depending cam portion on the underside thereof. A sleeve surrounds the cap and the neck of the container. The sleeve has an internally extended rod which extends into the notch portion of the neck of the container and interlocks with the latch on the cap to prevent inadvertent opening thereof. A bar provided interiorly of the sleeve also extends into the notch in the neck of the container limiting the movement of the sleeve. The neck of the container also has an inwardly extending shoulder upon which the cap rests. A gasket is normally disposed on the shoulder and underneath the cap.
