Abstract: An anode substrate for a display device which is made of a glass plate and of which an inner surface formed thereon with color filters is smoothed with a smoothing layer. The anode substrate is subject to a heating treatment during manufacturing thereof is provided. The anode substrate includes at least one smoothing layer made of low-melting glass and formed on the inner surface of the glass plate. The low-melting glass has a softening point lower than a distortion point of the glass plate and a distortion point equal to or higher than a heating temperature in the subsequent step. A method for manufacturing the anode substrate is also disclosed.

Abstract: An automatic meat stuffing apparatus which comprises a meat extruder including a filling nozzle, a casing supply unit including a carrier for carrying a tubular network casing from a reel to a point adjacent to the filling nozzle while running axially with the filling nozzle, and a net expander for expanding an open end of the casing through which meat is stuffed in the casing. The net expander is reciprocably movable along the filling nozzle. Pawls are provided for holding the casing, with the pawls being closable at a point adjacent to the open end of the filling nozzle. The pawls are openable so as to expand the open end of the casing and allow meat to be stuffed therein through the filling nozzle. A cutting and clipping device cuts the casing to a desired length and closes the casing with a clip, with the cutting and clipping device being located adjacent to the open end of the filling nozzle.

Abstract: An automatic pickle injecting apparatus includes a vertically movable tank containing a pickle, the tank being transversely provided with respect to the path along which the meat is conveyed, a plurality of needles suspended from the bottom of the tank, each of the needles having a passageway allowing the pickle in the tank to flow therethrough, the passageway communicating with an opening produced at the terminating end of the needle through which the pickle is discharged, a valve adapted to close and open the opening, the valve being movable along the length of the needle such that when the valve is lowered to its lowermost position, it closes the opening so as not to allow the pickle in the needle to flow therethrough, and with the valve being normally urged to its lowermost position.
