Abstract: In order to correct for colors of images taken photographs of e.g., patient's skin in a clinical medicine, the method of the present invention comprises a color chart for image correction including a sheet base substrate, on the back surface of which an adhesive layer capable to adhere onto an object such as the patient's skin and color materials for example three colors R, G, B as three primary colors of lights applied on the surface to be captured in a color image with the object to correct for colors in an entire image according to basic colors indicated in the captured color regions.

Abstract: A container for wetted tissues comprises a container body, a stationary lid member and a movable lid member each molded from a suitable synthetic resin material. The stationary lid member fits on the container body to close an upper opening of the container body and the movable lid member is hinged to the stationary lid member so as to cover an opening formed substantially in a central zone of the stationary lid member through which the wetted tissues will be picked out. Any one of an upper surface of the stationary lid member and an inner surface of the movable lid member is provided with an elastic strip fixed across the hinged portion. As the movable lid member is closed, the elastic strip is curved generally in a U-shape or .OMEGA.-shape within a space defined between the inner surface of the movable lid member and the upper surface of the stationary lid member and thereby charged with an elastic energy biasing the movable lid member to be opened.

Abstract: A refill container for housing granular products that is adapted to be inserted into a box-type outer package. The refill container is designed so that it is easily collapsible after its use. The container comprises an enclosure formed from opposing top and bottom walls, opposing side walls and opposing front and back walls. The container is sealed so as to prevent the flow of granular products through the enclosure prior to its opening. Lastly the container of the present invention includes a tear strip extending along the front, back and side walls. The tear strip is such that it will extend above the outer box-type package when the refill container is inserted therein.

Abstract: A size-reducible rectangular tear-strip type rectangular column-like container for contents such as ice cream and margarine formed from a pre-patterned blank of a carton board, comprising: a plurality of spaced projecting gripping portions useful in tear-stripping respective sections which are contiguous to these gripping portions; a plurality of paired horizontally-extending and closely adjacent external and rear straight scored lines formed on both sides of the blank up to depths of about one half of the thickness of the blank, respectively. Adjacent respective pairs of the scored lines define sections of the container to be torn and stripped off from the remaining sections. Thus, this container, at the end of each consumption of the contents will reduce its size progressively for the convenience of storage.
