Abstract: A first reservoir is provided for receiving a filling of the substance to be delivered, having a second reservoir superimposed thereon for receiving a filling of a lubricating substance. The reservoirs are traversed by tubular elements communicating at their upper ends with the second reservoir, each having apertures in an intermediate part for putting its interior into communication with the first reservoir and a dropper nozzle at its lower end. A plurality of pistons, each of which is slidable in a respective tubular element with a tolerance such as to achieve sealing without the need for washers, are movable between an upper position, allowing the substance to be delivered to flow into the tubular element, and a lower position causing the lower ends of the pistons to close to the dropper nozzle.

Abstract: A small flip-top container which can be opened and shut using one hand is closed at one end by a stopper having a skirt which grips the inside of the container resiliently and a rectangular end wall with an aperture which extends for a certain distance from one of the minor sides. The aperture is closeable by a flap which is hinged integrally to the end wall at the inner end of the aperture and is held shut by the snap-engagement of a transverse heel formed on a projection from the free end of the internal surface of the flap in a complementary transverse groove from in the minor wall of the skirt immediately below the outer end of the aperture. In order that the flap can be snapped open and shut without excessive force, the frontal edge of the minor wall of the skirt defining the top of the groove has a central part which projects outwardly relative to its lateral parts, over which the heel must pass.

Abstract: The object to be wrapped is deposited on thin aluminium foil which extends over the mouth of a forming device comprising an annulus and a plurality of resilient blades each fixed at one end to the annulus and converging at their other, free ends towards a first half mould having a hemispherical cavity coaxial with the annulus. A push rod is advanced axially of the preforming device to push the object and the aluminium foil between the resilient blades, making the foil adhere to the leading surface of the object and effecting a first moulding of the aluminium foil around the trailing surface of the object. The partially wrapped object is expelled from the forming device the blades of which close to effect a second moulding of the aluminium foil over the trailing surface of the object, forming a rear projection in the form of a tail constituted by that part of the aluminium foil which does not adhere to the object.

Abstract: The device comprises a strip element or band which can be wrapped around a package, the strip element having an integral label for receiving messages. The label may include an integral flap which can be folded over a message - bearing part of the label.

Abstract: The package comprises two trough-shaped containers, one of which receives a filling of a food product and the other of which receives auxiliary garnishing products intended to be applied to the food product at the moment of consumption. The containers are interconnected at their free edges with the interpositioning of a laminar sealing element.

Abstract: The shell halves are separated from the web portion of the wafer sheet by means of a sawing operation, effected parallel to the plane of the sheet. When two halves cut out in such way are assembled to form a shell enclosing a filling, the sawn areas mate each other so that they are hidden from sight. This invention has application to the manufacture of candy of the type having a shell and a filling.

Abstract: A modular display stand is constructed from a plurality of vertically-connectable, tubular sections extending upwardly from a carriage which supports the lower-most tubular section. The connected sections are topped with a placard holder connectable to the upper-most section. Each tubular section has shelves cantilevered on either sides thereof via support rods, and each shelf has spring-biased movable side walls to accommodate materials of different dimensions.

Abstract: Confectionery product comprising a shell formed by two wafer shell halves jointly enclosing a filling.The filling has a water content not tolerable by the shell of wafer and is contained in a water-impermeable capsule of edible material, lining or bonded to the internal surface of the shell.

Abstract: A pack for two different unwrapped confectionery products comprises two pots closed by a seal and each provided around its mouth with a flange which is stuck to the edge of a corresponding aperture in a support plate. An adhesive label is stuck over the plate and the seals of the two pots. The label has an appendage which can be torn off and to which there is adhered a flexible container for a small spoon.The pack enables the user to take up portions of the two products from their respective pots with ease while holding the pot in one hand.
