  • Publication number: 20060018569
    Abstract: A tamper indicating, resealable closure for a package includes first and second film layers releasably adhesively joined together such that the first and second film layers are at least partially separable when the second film layer is pulled away from the first film layer. The first film layer includes first and second tear lines formed thereon to define first and second panel sections respectively. The first panel section defines an access opening through the first film layer when it is separated along the first tear line during an initial separation of the first and second film layers. The second panel section also becomes separated from the first film layer when the second film layer is separated from the first film layer to provide an indication of an initial opening of the closure. Subsequently, the second film layer may be re-adhered to the first film layer to reseal the access opening, while the second panel section remains separated from the first film layer.

  • Patent number: 5622336
    Abstract: In order to reduce the force to be applied to the control member of a control surface (10) articulated to a support structure (12) by hinges located in notches or slots (28) formed in the leading edge (16) of the control surface, a protection device is associated with the said hinge. This device has a cover plate (32) fixed to each outer face of the support structure (12), as well as a fairing member (42) fixed to the control surface (10), so as to surround the hinge. The cover plate (32) has grooves (40) which will break in the case of locking. The breaking of the grooves is applicable to any craft moving in a fluid and having control surfaces and more particularly to aircraft.
