Abstract: This invention provides small-sized, intrabuccally rapidly disintegrating tablets comprising D-mannitol having an average particle diameter of 31 ?m to 80 ?m, an active ingredient, a disintegrant and stearic acid or a metallic stearate of 0.01% by weight to 0.5% by weight, which have sufficient hardness, do not disintegrate during usual handling, and have a good disintegrability in the oral cavity and a pleasant feeling in a mouth when administered, and further provides a method for producing an intrabuccally rapidly disintegrating tablet containing stearic acid or a metallic stearate in an amount of 0.01% by weight to 0.

Abstract: In each twisting unit of a multiple twisting apparatus, a two-for-one twisting assembly imparts a first twist to each component yarn while a ring twisting assembly imparts a second twist to .[.a.]. .Iadd.the .Iaddend.doubled first-twisted yarns. A plurality of first twisted yarns are doubled under tension control and the doubled yarn is taken up by a feed mechanism so as to be supplied to the ring twisting assembly under tension control via a yarn passage formed behind the two-for-one twisting assemblies. The two-for-one twisting assemblies are arranged in two alignments along a lengthwise direction of the apparatus.All driving members are driven synchronously at least at a starting period and at a time of stopping the twisting operation.
