  • Patent number: 6706651
    Abstract: A float textile having an improved optical interference function, containing a float texture yarn formed by combining three or more multi-filament yarns each comprising, as a constituent unit, optically interfering mono-filaments which are formed by alternately laminating layers of at least two polymers having different refractive indices and which have flattening ratio of 4 to 15 and by interlacing the multi-filament yarns to form 20 or less interlaces per meter, used as a warp float and/or weft float component, and having a float number of 2 or more. A spun-dyed textile which is formed by combining a large number of optically interfering multi-filament yarns can provide a float textile which can exhibit a bright color development effect and can expand the utility thereof to room interior and car interior fields.

  • Patent number: 6253963
    Abstract: A syrup drink supply nozzle assembly for a drink dispenser is formed of a syrup nozzle head having a plurality of syrup introduction passages to introduce various syrups and syrup nozzles attached to the syrup introduction passages, a cylindrical syrup nozzle cover removably attached to a lower portion of the syrup nozzle head to surround the same, a diluent nozzle head removably attached onto the outer periphery of the syrup nozzle head and having a diluent passage for introducing cold diluent water or carbonated water, and a cylindrical spout nozzle removably surrounding the syrup nozzle cover and the diluent nozzle head and having a drink ejection port at a tip thereof. The syrup drink supply nozzle assembly has improved maintenance ability and nozzle functions.

  • Patent number: 5649644
    Abstract: A mixing type drink distributor is formed of a head having a plurality of jet pipes for supplying different concentrated liquids and a supply port for supplying a diluent liquid to dilute the concentrated liquids, and a nozzle installed around the outer circumference of the head. The nozzle includes a mixing section for mixing one of the concentrated liquids with the diluent liquid, and an opening section situated under the mixing section for ejecting the mixture in the mixing section downwardly. Jet nozzles are fixed to the jet pipes to protrude from the lower face of the head so that the concentrated liquids are ejected through the respective jet nozzles without contacting the head.
