  • Patent number: 5309955
    Abstract: A process for adjusting the quantities of a liquid or paste food or pharmaceutical product dosed and dispensed by a doser-dispenser (20) in which the weight of at least every nth one of the recipients (101) filled by the same doser-dispenser (20) with a dosed quantity of the product (102) is measured, the number n being an integer between 1 and 1000. Each weight value measured is compared with a predetermined standard value and at least one of the end-of-stroke positions of the doser piston of the doser-dispenser (20) is adjusted step by step and during the operation of the doser-dispenser (20), in the sense of increasing or decreasing the stroke of the doser piston when the difference between the actual weight measured and the difference between the actual weight measured and the predetermined standard weight exceeds a limiting value. The adjustment is continued stepwise until the difference disappears.

  • Patent number: 5165119
    Abstract: The chemical setting receptacle comprises a receptacle body loading chemical and a lid covering the top opening of the receptacle body, wherein the lid is formed by connecting more than one vertical plate and a passage connected to a chemical loading section of the receptacle body is installed between the vertical plates. Urine and water hitting the ridge of the vertical plate separate and fall into the chemical loading section and also, urine and water entering the passage hit the side of the vertical plate and fall into the chemical loading section. Therefore, urine and water do not splash outward. The receptacle body and lid are made of decomposable plastic material containing an additive having a decomposition by microorganisms and sunlight characteristic. After the receptacle is used, the additive is naturally decomposed in a short time by activity of microorganisms and irradiation of sunlight, the plastic material collapses into a granular resin, and the receptacle loses its original form.

  • Patent number: 5130505
    Abstract: A microswitch is mounted between the sides of a U-shaped channel bracket. The sides of the bracket are pulled together to clamp the switch therein by a screw passing through a hole in the switch body. Tabs extending from the edge of the bracket sides move the switch by camming as the sides are pulled together to cause one side of the switch mounting hole to be registered against the screw to maintain the switch securely in one position on the bracket.
