Abstract: A spray method of applying liquid adhesive to surfaces of components of an electrochemical cell. The adhesive is applied by spraying through a nozzle, preferably activated by a piezoelectric transducer. The nozzle can be an elongated resilient tube terminating in an outlet opening. The adhesive is preferably sprayed in a pulsed stream of droplets. The liquid adhesive is desirably dispensed in fine droplets at a rate of between about 500 and 5000 droplets per second. The method is effective in applying adhesive to narrow width or difficult to reach surfaces of cell components in a precise, consistent and reproducible manner. In a specific application the adhesive can be applied to the narrow recessed step surrounding the terminal portion of the cathode casing of a zinc/air button cell. In such application the adhesive provides a tight seal between the cathode casing and cathode assembly, thereby preventing leakage of electrolyte from the cell.

Abstract: A razor blade assembly comprising a first body member, a blade disposed on the first body member, guard and cap skin engaging surfaces on the first body member, one of the skin engaging surfaces having a groove therein, and a second body member slidable into and out of the groove, the second body member comprising a shaving aid strip.
Abstract: A razor having a base member, spring fingers extending from the base member, a plurality of razor blades, each of the razor blades having a generally tubular wall defining a central aperture, each of the razor blades having an integrally formed flange on a first end of the tubular wall, a free edge of each of the flanges comprising an annular cutting edge, a second end of the tubular wall having therein a plurality of the spring fingers extending into the aperture, such that the spring fingers within the tubular walls permit multi-directional movement of the razor blades responsive to pressures encountered during shaving operations.
Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to the combination of a primary box having closed side and end walls, a bottom and a hinged top with a pair of chamfered U-shaped inserts having the bases of the U-shape in unattached abutting relationship with the outside legs of the U-shape glued to the inside walls of the box with a cutting line marked on the outside of the box adjacent to the unattached abutting bases of the U-shaped inserts for cutting the box into two separately transportable secondary boxes of product containers and for selling and transporting less than all the containers of the primary box.
