  • Patent number: 5208431
    Abstract: A method for producing an object includes the steps of directing a laser beam to pass near a multiaxis table, supplying material from a material supply device to pass through and be melted by the laser beam, conveying the molten material to a prescribed location on the multiaxis table by allowing it to fall under its own weight or conveying it with a carrier gas, three-dimensionally controlling the position and attitude of the multiaxis table by means of a controller, and progressively depositing the molten material at prescribed locations on the multiaxis table for producing an object of a prescribed shape.

  • Patent number: 5131556
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an easy-open vessel lid which is composed of a laminate of a metal foil and a resin and has opening weakened line. A reinforcing layer of a thermoplastic resin is formed independently from the resin of the laminate at least on the outer peripheral side of a part most protruding in the opening-initiating direction of an inside introducing weakened line to cover said weakened line astride of said weakened line. By this reinforcing layer, ribbon breaking can be effectively prevented, and opening by shearing of the lid member along the weakened lines can be performed assuredly and smoothly.

  • Patent number: 4397401
    Abstract: Disclosed is an easily openable vessel closure comprising a can end member having a preformed opening, an easily peelable opening piece which is applied to the outer side of the can end member so that the opening piece covers said opening and adheres closely to the peripheral portion of said opening, and a protecting covering layer formed to cover the cut edge of the opening of the can end member, wherein the protecting covering layer is formed of a thermoplastic resin having a heat bondability and the protecting covering layer includes a film layer heat-bonded to the inner and outer peripheral portions of the opening and a projecting cover heat-bonded to the cut edge of the opening integrally with said film layer, and said opening piece is heat-bonded to the can end member through the protecting covering layer located outside the can end member and said protecting covering layer is stuck closely to the cut edge of the opening so that when the opening piece is peeled, the protecting covering layer is left on
