  • Patent number: 9114585
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for inserting inserts (cores) into female molds of a rotary tableting press. The inserts are inserted individually into one female mold each of a rotating rotor of the rotary tableting press by separating the inserts from a nonspecific quantity by means of a feeder mechanism, feeding them to a core distributor and aligning them from there with the female molds in a precisely defined position and delivering the inserts to the female molds in this position.

  • Patent number: 5647841
    Abstract: The present invention pertains in general to a motor-driven hand-held massaging device for body massage, with a cosmetic or medical massaging substance optionally fed in and consists of a housing with a grip part, a storage chamber for the massaging substance, and a massaging means. In particular the present invention is an inexpensive motor-driven hand-held massaging device, use of which guarantees a more effective massaging action and convenient handling of massaging substances. The device includes a hand-held massaging device with a plurality of rotating massaging brushes 11 and the massaging substance is able to be fed to the individual massaging brushes 11 at controllable intervals.

  • Patent number: 5256046
    Abstract: The invention relates to a press for producing coated-core tablets, and includes a rotor 1 with a die table 4 provided with dies 14, and upper and lower sections 3, 4 for guiding the upper or lower stamps, 9, 11, resp., in the dies 14, radial arms 25 with transfer heads 34 for receiving and transferring the cores 17, and receiving pockets 16 associated to the radial arms for the cores 17. In order to allow, for a size as small as possible of the press, that synchronism of the transfer heads 34 and of the dies 14 during transfer of the cores is secured in simple manner and without friction and noise resulting therefrom, it is provided, according to the invention, that the radial arms 25 are supported in the form of pistons 26 in the rotor 1, and that the receiving pockets 16 are arranged at the die table 5.

  • Patent number: 5116214
    Abstract: A rotary press for pressing tablets or other cylindrically shaped bodies is provided including a rotor with a die table, an upper section and a lower section. The upper section includes an upper rotatable bushing which supports an upper stamp slidably and non-rotatably. The lower section includes a lower rotatable bushing. The lower rotatable bushing supports a lower stamp slidably and non-rotatably. The upper and lower section each include stationary serrated sections which engage serrated sections provided on the rotatable bushings.

  • Patent number: 5088915
    Abstract: The invention concerns a coated-core press for making coated tablets. In prior art coated-core presses, the problem arises of centering the cores exactly in the powder undercoating in the matrix, particularly when the matrix table is rotating at high speed. In order to solve this problem, a device for picking up and transferring the cores (9) is arranged on the lower side of the vertically adjustable core die (31) and comprises gripping devices which pick up the cores in the pick-up station (60) and press them into the center of the underlayer of powder material formed inside the corresponding matrix (3).
