  • Patent number: 11215078
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine for an aircraft including a unit supplied with oil from a first oil circuit and a second oil circuit. The first oil circuit and the second oil circuit each are fluidly coupled with at least one inlet and with at least one outlet of the unit and with at least one inlet and with at least one outlet of an oil tank. The first oil circuit and the second oil circuit are configured to receive oil from the oil tank and to direct the received oil to the unit. The oil tank is incorporating offset outlets to each of the oil circuits. The offset outlet of the second oil circuit is positioned higher in the oil tank than the offset outlet of the first oil circuit.

  • Patent number: 11131214
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a gearbox receiving input from a core shaft and driving a fan at a lower speed than the core shaft. First and second oil circuits fluidly couple with an inlet and outlet of the gearbox. A third oil circuit fluidly couples with an inlet and outlet of the gearbox. The outlet of the gearbox includes a device directing oil from the gearbox to the first oil circuit, to the second oil circuit and to the third oil circuit when feeding to the gearbox exceeds a predefined oil flow rate, or deviates an operational value corresponding with that oil flow rate, and directs oil from the gearbox to the third oil circuit when feeding to the gearbox is ? the predefined flow rate or is ? a corresponding operational value or is greater than or equal to a further corresponding operational value.

  • Patent number: 10543950
    Abstract: A package includes an outer sleeve and a slider for holding a blister pack slidably mounted within the outer sleeve. The outer sleeve includes a wall having an outer panel and an inner panel. The inner panel has a locking edge formed at a terminal end thereof spaced from and facing a closed end of the sleeve. A locking flap is formed at a terminal end of the slider extending in a direction away from a closed end of the outer sleeve for engagement with the said wall of the outer sleeve. The flap has a free edge for engagement with the locking edge of the inner panel to prevent the slider from being removed from the outer sleeve when the slider is fully received within the outer sleeve.

  • Patent number: 10179090
    Abstract: A package includes a container made from a paperboard, cardboard or other foldable sheet material, and houses at least one blister pack. The blister pack is secured within an internal space of the container by means of a frangible connection, breakage of the frangible connection allowing complete removal of the blister pack from the container.

  • Patent number: 10080702
    Abstract: A carrier for a blister pack includes a first panel having an opening for movably receiving a blister of the blister pack, and a second panel having one or more dispensing openings aligned with the first panel opening. The first panel and the second panel slidably receive the blister pack there between. The carrier includes a blocking tab between the first and second panels that is selectively moveable between a blocking position and a dispensing position. When the blocking tab is in its blocking position it prevents movement of the blister in the first panel opening into alignment with a dispensing opening, thereby preventing dispensing of the blister's contents through the dispensing opening. When the blocking tab is in the dispensing position, it permits the blister to be moved into alignment with a dispensing opening for dispensing the blister's contents.

  • Patent number: 9968518
    Abstract: A package includes a container having an open end and a closed end, and a slider slidably mounted within the container. A releasable locking feature is provided at a side of the package, which comprises a pair of locking edges, one associated with a sidewall of each of the slider and container respectively, and a release area for releasing a locking abutment between the locking edges. The release area is provided in the sidewall of the container having the locking edge, and the locking edge of the slider comprises two or more plies of a material used to provide the slider. The package includes means for biasing the locking edge of the slider into engagement with the locking edge of the container. The biasing means extends from a blister pack carrier connected to the slider.

  • Patent number: 9931273
    Abstract: A package includes a container having an open end and a closed end, and a slider slidably mounted within the container. The slider has sidewalls a facing panel and an end wall. The slider has a first end that is closest to the end wall of the container and opposite second end defined by the end wall of the slider. The end wall of the slider is connected to the facing panel of the slider at a first edge thereof, and is connected to a panel of a blister pack carrier at an opposite second edge thereof, the first and second edges of the end wall being connected by side edges of the end wall. The sidewalls of the slider terminate at a position spaced from the end wall of the slider, and a pair of flaps are connected to respective side edges of the end wall of the slider along respective foldlines, each flap being folded toward an end of the sidewall on its respective side of the slider and extending over at least a portion of the distance between the end of the sidewall and the end wall of the slider.

  • Publication number: 20160120748
    Abstract: A package includes a container made from a paperboard, cardboard or other foldable sheet material, including a two telescopic parts which together define the body of the container and which are movable apart in telescopic fashion to open the same, and having at least one pair of internal flaps. One flap of said pair of flaps is on each of the parts, and the flaps are arranged to abut together edge to edge when the parts are moved apart as aforesaid, so as to stop such opening movement. At least one of the telescopic parts is manually deformable inwardly or outwardly to release said abutment and thereby permit opening of the container. A blister pack carrier is arranged within the container and attached to the inside of one of said container parts so as to project outwardly from that part when the container is opened to provide access to the blister pack.
