Patent number: 9636883Abstract: Score lines are formed on package material. A spout attachment hole is formed in a portion corresponding to a top gusset section of a pouch. A spout is attached to the spout attachment hole. A portion corresponding to a peripheral edge of the top gusset section of the pouch and a portion corresponding to a top edge of a body section of the pouch are heat-sealed, and the package material is cut in the width direction. Portions corresponding to side edges of the body section of the pouch are heat-sealed, and a portion corresponding to a peripheral edge of a bottom gusset section and a portion corresponding to a peripheral edge of a bottom end portion of the body section are heat-sealed. The heat-sealed portions formed at the portions corresponding to the side edges of the body section of the pouch are cut so a spouted pouch package is released.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2009Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: FUJI SEAL INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: Satoshi Nagano, Satoshi Nii, Daisuke Itami

Patent number: 9302804Abstract: The present invention includes: a label opening unit, which preliminarily opens a tubular label folded in a sheet; a label expansion unit, which expands the preliminarily opened label; a bottle lifting unit having a mounting, on which the bottle is mounted and which can rise and fall; and a bottle pull-up unit, which lifts the bottle while holding with the bottle an upper end portion of the label attached to the bottle. After the bottle lifting unit has lifted the mounting on which the bottle is mounted, thereby inserting the bottle into the label expanded by the label expansion unit, the bottle pull-up unit pulls up the bottle, thereby removing expansion claws from the label and moving the bottle to above clamp members of the label opening unit.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2011Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: FUJI SEAL INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: Hiroshi Sugimoto, Satoshi Nii

Publication number: 20140216661Abstract: The present invention includes clamp members, which preliminarily open a tubular label folded in a sheet; openable and closable expansion claws, which expand the preliminarily opened label; and a mounting, on which a bottle is mounted and which can rise and fall. The mounting on which the bottle is mounted rises, thereby inserting the bottle into the expanded label, and the expansion claws are removed from the label, thereby attaching the label to the bottle. A cam included in a rise and fall mechanism, which causes the expansion claw to rise and fall, includes: a fixed portion, of which a height position cannot be changed; a rise and fall portion, of which a height position can be changed; and a connection portion, which connects the fixed portion and the rise and fall portion so as to swing by following a rising and falling motion of the rise and fall portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2011Publication date: August 7, 2014Applicant: FUJI SEAL INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: Hiroshi Sugimoto, Satoshi Nii

Patent number: 6755092Abstract: A conveying device in which a conveying arm assembly can be quickly set in a conveying position and can be rapidly stabilized in the conveying position includes a conveying arm assembly, a fixed shaft, at least one set of hollow operating shafts which are necessary for controlling an operation of the conveying arm assembly, and a motor provided between the fixed shaft and each of the operating shafts. The one set of operating shafts are attached to the fixed shaft such that they can be rotated coaxially with respect to the fixed shaft outside fixed shaft and are arranged in an axial direction of the fixed shaft. The conveying arm assembly is attached to an end portion of the operating shaft close to the ended of the fixed shaft. The motor comprises a stator provided on the fixed shaft and a rotor provided on each of the operating shafts such that it is opposed to the stator on an outer peripheral side of the stator.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2003Date of Patent: June 29, 2004Inventors: Takenori Wakabayashi, Satoshi Nii, Masashi Kamitani, Michio Taniguchi

Patent number: 5480671Abstract: A natural-type emulsified composition of oil and fat which does not employ any synthetic compound. The emulsified composition of oil and fat is made by mixing a natural edible oil and fat, 3% to 97% by weight, with a fermented uncooked soybean paste, 3% to 97% by weight. The soybean paste is obtained by breaking the soybean to provide roughly broken soybean, feeding the roughly broken soybean into a sealed vessel, treating the soybean with steam under up to 1 kg/cm.sup.2, rapidly discharging the soybean from the sealed vessel into the outside atmospheric pressure so that the soybean is puffed, powderizing it, and then fermenting the powder after adding malt and salt. Also provided is a food, such as bread, made by using the emulsified composition of oil and fat instead of a yeast food and/or shortening which include a synthetic emulsifier.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 1994Date of Patent: January 2, 1996Inventor: Satoshi Nii

Patent number: 4985259Abstract: Fermented soybean food without cooking is produced by roughly breaking soybean into about 1/2-1/8 in size, taking off the coat and germ, feeding the roughly broken soybean into a sealed vessel, and after introducing steam at or under 1 Kg/cm.sup.2 for 3-20 minutes to avoid cooking the broken soybean, rapidly discharging the broken soybean from the sealed vessel to the outside normal atmospheric pressure and making puff, and by grinding it into powder, sprinkling hot water of 80.degree.-95.degree. C. onto the powder to avoid cooking the powder, and inducing fermentation by adding malt and salt.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 1989Date of Patent: January 15, 1991Inventor: Satoshi Nii
