Abstract: The invention provides a life saving apparatus which allows a wearer to readily assume a rearwardly inclined floating posture on the water surface under an inflated condition of a float body. The life saving apparatus includes a float body 2 configured to surround the torso of a wearer P under an inflated condition of the float body and an attaching body 3 to be attached to the waist of the wearer P. The float body 2 and the attaching body 3 are connected to each other at a connecting position on the back side of the wearer's P body via an extension member 5 having a predetermined length. The float body 2 and the attaching body 3 are connected, with a shorter inter-distance than the predetermined length of the extension member 5, at a position forwardly of the connecting position on the back side of the wearer's P body.

Abstract: Apparatus for making miniature capsules having a capsule-forming orifice defined by the open ends of two coaxial conduits. The inner conduit defines a central opening in the orifice and the outer conduit defines an annulus circumferentially of the central opening. Filter-content material for the individual capsules is extruded as a stream through the central opening and a settable coating liquid material is extruded as a thin film sleeve circumferentially of the filler-content material stream. The film sleeve and the stream of filler-content material pass through a cooling liquid which is flowed through a fixed nozzle downstream of the extruding orifice. The nozzle has an inlet section with converging inner surfaces and a uniform diameter downstream of the inlet section. The cooling fluid, the film sleeve and filler-content stream therein all pass through the nozzle.
