Patent number: 11701683Abstract: A method for coating a part that has an asymmetrical edge by attaching the part to a part holder, placing a film between the part and a mandrel, rolling the part over the mandrel such that the asymmetrical edge of the part contact the film, and, moving one or both of the mandrel and the part holder in an angular relationship to one another as the angle of the part's asymmetrical edge changes. A film dispenser and a film retriever are provided and preferably they move cooperatively in at least two dimensions with respect to the part holder. The film has a first edge and a second edge, and the film can be a decorative coating, a protective coating or combinations of these. The film dispenser holds the first edge of the film, the film is positioned between the mandrel and the part holder and the film retriever holds the film second edge.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2011Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Norm Henry Tiilikka, Susana E.

Patent number: 5657870Abstract: A pack for stacked articles with at least an identical base area, for example rectangular or square, comprises two adhesive strips which do not have lines of weakness or tearing lines and are provided at least on the narrow sides of the stack. The material is recyclable and corresponds as far as possible to the other packaging material. A gripping aid facilitates the largely non-destructive pulling off of the adhesive strips for individually separating the articles. The pack can be used for all rectangularly shaped articles such as cuboids, cubes, disks etc.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 1995Date of Patent: August 19, 1997Assignee: BASF Magnetics GmbHInventors: Klaus Schottle, Heinrich Wollensack, Gerald-Wolfgang Borck, Hans Dieter Erhardt

Patent number: 5011014Abstract: Film packaging for right parallelepiped articles, in which the film parts are welded by heat sealing, is provided with a tear aid in the form of an additional, advantageously arranged imprint which prevents heat sealing in one or more desired areas. The reliability of film removal is additionally increased by means of a plurality of oblique prints and imprint areas one covering the other. The packaging can be used for articles of all types where complete removal of all packaging parts is necessary, for example for tape cassettes, in particular for magnetic tape cassettes.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 1990Date of Patent: April 30, 1991Assignee: BASF AktiengesellschaftInventors: Gerald-Wolfgang Borck, Manfred Ell, Hans-Dieter Erhardt
