  • Patent number: 10022318
    Abstract: This invention provides an effervescent solid form that dissolves in cold water quickly enough to not disappoint consumers yet not so quickly that the visual interest generated during the effervescent reaction is lost. This performance is achieved by forming effervescent particles that are dense enough to retard dissolution and small enough to not take too long to dissolve. The aim of this invention is to provide a beverage in solid effervescent form that takes between about 30 and about 120 seconds to dissolve in warm water. The granules may carry functional additives such as flavors, vitamins, minerals, sweeteners, colors and drugs. The granules may also be compounded of materials intended to provide relief from skin or topical discomfort, as in the form of a wash or bath additive. The granules may also be formulated to provide cleaning agents, such as ceramic cleaners and denture cleaners.

  • Patent number: 4425948
    Abstract: Wire wrapping tool with a cylindrical wrapping bit which during its rotation carries a wire in a longitudinal groove so that the wire can be wound onto a tag located in the axial prolongation of a wrapping bit. The wrapping bit (6) is provided with a nozzle (9) which can rotate freely relatively to the wrapping bit and has an inclined hole (11). By inserting the end part of the wire into the hole (11) this is held by means of frictional engagement with the two opposite edge parts (13, 14) of the hole when turning the wrapping bit. When turning the nozzle relatively to the wrapping bit the end part of the wire is wound onto the tag and the wire is released.
