Abstract: A printing pad machine that can print a 360 degree image on a cylindrical object. That objective is achieved by modifying a conventional printing pad machine. The modifications include using a single angled print pad having a contact wall having a first height, a lower wall having a second height that is less than the first height, an angled surface interconnecting the contact wall's distal end and the lower wall's distal end, and a base wall interconnecting the contact wall's proximal end and the lower wall's proximal end and connectable to a base. Another modification includes a flexion-extension hinge positioned between the support member and the base or the support member and the overhead gantry and controlled by the adjustable and moveable actuator system and power source. That objective can be accomplished with the conventional printing pad machine using the single angled print pad.

The modifications include using a single angled print pad having a contact wall having a first height, a lower wall having a second height that is less than the first height, an angled surface interconnecting the contact wall's distal end and the lower wall's distal end, and a base wall (a) interconnecting the contact wall's proximal end and the lower wall's proximal end and (b) connectable to a base. Another modification includes a flexion-extension hinge positioned between (a) the support member and the base or (b) the support member and the overhead gantry and controlled by the adjustable and moveable actuator system and power source.

Abstract: A clear package for storing a packaged product and providing an easy locking mechanism to seal and secure the product. The package of the present invention has a sleeve having foldable tabs at the top and bottom, and a top and bottom opening, and a slidable insert having indents at the top and bottom, the slidable insert being slidably inserted into the sleeve through the top or bottom opening, where the tabs align with the indents to provide a locking mechanism, and where the height of the sleeve is substantially the same as the height of the slidable insert.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a package having “blister” of polymeric material for displaying a product in combination with a backing material, as well as methods for manufacturing the same.

Abstract: A package is provided having a tapered sleeve that has a greater width on a proximal end than a distal end of the sleeve, the sleeve having one or more foldable tabs and a first opening, and a tapered slidable insert having a greater width on a proximal end than a distal end of the slidable insert, the slidable insert having one or more indents, and the slidable insert being insertable into the sleeve through the first opening. The one or more foldable tabs align with the one or more corresponding indents, providing a locking mechanism. The foldable tab(s) can be located at the proximal end of the sleeve and the indent(s) can be located at the proximal end of the slidable insert, or the foldable tab(s) and the indent(s) can be located at a distal end of the sleeve and slidable insert, respectively.

Abstract: An improved automatic blanket wash system for offset printing wherein the washing medium is a water-in-oil emulsion containing 5-35 percent by weight water and 65-95 percent by weight of a water insoluble phase that contains certain hydrocarbons in specific proportions and a surfactant having an HLB of 3-11.

Abstract: A microencapsulation of varied substances such as aromatic agents, colorings, inks, chemical reactives, pharmaceutical and phytosanitary products, fireproof products, glues, finely dispersed in an aqueous phase, in order to obtain microcapsules that are simulaneously isodiametrical and with regularized diameters, which consists in placing face to place an aqueous solution of polymers and/or hydrosoluble copolymers including at least one of the chemical functions belonging to the group constituted by the radicles --COOH, --OH, --CONH.sub.2, --COHNR, --CONRR', --NH.sub.2, NHR and --NRR', constituting the material of the capsule containing shell, and a solution of substances to be coated in at least one hydrophobic organic solvent, density close to 1, then submitting the liquid medium thus constituted to a mechanical shearing action corresponding to a shearing coefficient included between 8,000 second.sup.-1 and 70,000 second.sup.-1, while the medium is maintained at a temperature between 15.degree. C. and 85.

Abstract: There is described a device which comprises fixed means to feed forks one by one to the stacking location along a path at right angle to the transfer means movement direction between the parallel members and adjacent that edge provided with said perforations of those bags retained by said members, said forks of U-shape being free relative to one another, with legs directed at right angle to the transfer means movement direction and the leg free ends being directed towards the means allowing to release the bags from the transfer means in such a way that the fork legs enter the bag perforations, and means for moving the fork brought to the stacking location and on which will be stacked the bags to form a stack, along a direction in parallel relationship with the legs thereof to let said fork lie in two positions, the one position in which the fork is stationary to allow stacking the bags during said stacking operation and the second position in which the forks is free and can leave by gravity the device with th
