  • Patent number: 7293646
    Abstract: A plural-chamber container capable of indicating whether or not a peelable partition wall is peeled and hence a medical professional can quickly become aware of a state of communication among respective chambers when using the plural-chamber container, wherein the plural-chamber container formed of a synthetic resin film and a plurality of chambers compartmentalized by a peelable partition wall formed by thermally welding part of the opposed films, characterized in that a means capable of indicating the peeling of the partition wall is provided on a surface of the plural-channel container.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20060068113
    Abstract: A method of applying a viscous fluid material for preventing a viscous fluid material (40) from accumulating on a contact type slot nozzle (30) when applying the viscous fluid material (40) onto an object to be applied (50) which has surface irregularities by using the contact type slot nozzle (30). The method of applying a viscous fluid material includes: moving the object (50) in a predetermined transport direction (X); bringing the nozzle (30) provided to a slot (35) into contact with the object (50) that is being moved; dispensing the viscous fluid material (40) from the slot (35) to apply the viscous fluid material (40) onto the object (50); and ejecting a heated compression gas on the downstream side of the slot (35) in the predetermined transport direction (X) to press the viscous fluid material (40) applied on the object (50) from the slot (35) against the object (50) by the ejected compression gas.

  • Patent number: 6719846
    Abstract: A device and method for applying adhesive to materials, such as elastic strands or flat substrates, used in the production of nonwoven products. Generally, a nozzle is provided and includes a liquid discharge orifice configured to discharge a bead of liquid adhesive. First and second pattern air discharge orifices are associated with the first liquid discharge orifice to vacillate or oscillate the adhesive bead. First and second cleaning and stabilizing air discharge orifices are also associated with the first liquid discharge orifice. These latter air discharge orifices keep airborne contaminants away from the associated liquid discharge orifice and also stabilize the oscillation of the adhesive bead in a single plane. Another embodiment includes walls to separate adjacent sets of air discharge orifices.

  • Publication number: 20020092865
    Abstract: [Problems to be Solved] The present invention provides a method and a device for applying a plurality of zigzag patterns on a sheet-shaped substrate with a liquid such as a hot-melt adhesive, which can (1) prevent fluctuation in the amplitude of the coated pattern, (2) maintain good stability of the coated pattern, (3) improve the cutoff of the liquid when stopping the supply of liquid, and (4) improve the intermittence of the coated pattern.
