Abstract:
A boxed disc package has a box with a base and a foldable rigid creased board having multiple parallel creases. Mounting board-receiving panels and spines are formed and separated by the creases. Plural tray-holding boards are mounted on the board-receiving panels. Plural disc-holding trays are mounted on the plural tray-holding boards. One of the board-receiving panels of the foldable right creased board is secured in the box base. The remaining board-receiving panels with the attached tray-holding boards, trays and discs are folded around the spines for overlying each other and folding into the box base.
Abstract:
A cassette for storing a plurality of semiconductor wafers with a space in the vertical direction has a plurality of support plates which are provided spaced apart from one another in the vertical direction. A receiving cut-out having a shape corresponding to the shape of an adsorber for suction-holding a semiconductor wafer are formed in the front half portion of each of the support plates. The cassette further comprises separation plates between adjacent support plates.
Abstract:
A self-illuminated storage and carrying case for storage and transportation of generally laminar stored objects is described. The case includes at least one, but usually several, storage sheets, each sheet having pockets which are generally inclusive of the outline of the stored objects and adapted to retain the objects securely and in position. The pockets are adapted to allow any matter printed on the stored object to be read. Each sheet is secured by one edge into a cover having a front and back portion, and is retained between the front and back covers. On the non-secured edges of at least some of the sheets, illuminating elements having a generally cable-like form factor are affixed. The illuminating elements may be electroluminescent filaments, fiber optic strands, or other illuminating elements of similar form. The light from each illuminating element is caused to fall edgewise onto the sheet to which it is affixed, and to fall onto the broad surface of adjacent sheets, thereby illuminating the surface of those sheets and the contents of their pockets. The case is particularly useful in low light situations where increasing the general illumination may be impractical or undesirable. Additionally, the illuminated edges provide a novel, striking, ornamental effect.
Abstract:
A sealing assembly hinders or prevents air or other fluid from seeping between various components of a medical device by use of a liquid seal. An infusion port is for introducing a sealing liquid to immerse a flood space between a liner that surrounds a torque tube and/or within the torque tube, thereby creating a liquid seal around the torque tube and lubricating the torque tube. The length of the liner and the cross sectional space of the flood space are adjusted to control flow rate. An aspiration port may force suction pressure into a lumen extending along the length of the medical device in a distal direction. The liquid seal also prevents diluting of the suction pressure by stopping ingress of air.
Abstract:
It is an air-filled cushioning material which sufficiently protects an article to be protected with less possibility of rupture of sheets against an external force to a compartment thereof or wild bounding in falling. The air-filled cushioning material 1 formed of non-breathable soft resin sheets has a compartment area 2 that produces cushioning effect by filling it with air. The compartment area 2 is separated into a first compartment 21 and an adjacent second compartment 22, both compartments 21, 22 communicating with each other via an air-flow passage 7. The air-flow passage 7 allows an air-flow to pass from either of the compartments 21, 22 to the other while applying resistance. The air moves from either of the compartments 21, 22 which accepts an external force P to the other through the air-flow passage 7.
Abstract:
A carrier with ultraphobic surfaces for promoting more effective cleaning and drying of the carrier. In the invention, entire surfaces or portions of surfaces of a carrier are made ultraphobic. The ultraphobic surfaces of the carrier cause liquids that may come in contact with the surface, such as may be used in cleaning, to quickly and easily nullroll offnull without leaving a liquid film or substantial number of liquid droplets. As a result, less time and energy is expended in drying the surfaces, and redeposited residue is minimized, thereby improving overall process quality. In addition, the ultraphobic surfaces may be resistant to initial deposition of contaminants, where the contaminants may be in liquid or vapor form.
Abstract:
An antitheft device is provided to a case for storing a commodity therein so as to protect the commodity from being taken out of the case without permission. The case is composed of a box having an opening from which to insert and extract a commodity and a lid which opens and closes the opening via appropriate hinges. A through hole is formed on the necessary position of the peripheral walls which overlap with each other inside and outside the peripheral edges of the box and the lid or which oppose each other in such a manner that the key member can be inserted to or extracted from the through hole. In order to make use of the key member for protecting the case from being opened, it is possible to provide continuous convex-concave portions that are engaged with each other in the necessary regions on the surface where the opposite side edge of the key member opposes the open edge of the through hole. It is also possible to provide a through hole on the necessary position on one of the peripheral walls overlapping with each other inside and outside of the peripheral edges of the box and the lid in such a manner that the key member can be inserted and extracted and can establish the latch relation, whereas to provide a cut portion for avoiding the collision with the key member so as to secure the closing of the case on the other peripheral wall. A latch means is provided at the end of the key member, the latch means establishing the latch relation with the cut portion formed on either the box or the lid at the time of the completion of the insertion of the key member.
Abstract:
A media storage container includes a back wall with base and lid pages hingedly connected to the back wall. The base page has a hub to hold a first item of recorded media. An internal page is connected to the hinge wall and has a hub on one surface thereof to hold a second item of recorded media and a hub on the other surface thereof to hold a third item of recorded media. The hub on the internal page facing the base page is offset from the base page hub so that each hub helps hold discs on the facing page. Likewise, the hubs on opposite sides of the internal page are offset for the same purpose where additional internal pages are included.
Abstract:
A disc locator comprises: a platter, a button located centrally of the platter, a number of inner resilient linkages extending from the button, a number of outer resilient linkages extending from the platter and forming pairs with respective ones of the inner resilient linkages. A number of latches are interposed between some of the inner and outer resilient linkage pairs and each comprise a disc-engaging finger for passing through the central aperture of a disc to retain the disc and are adapted to move toward the button upon depression of the button. Lifting levers are associated with some of the inner and outer resilient linkage pairs and bear upwardly upon a disc upon depression of the button to release the disc.
Abstract:
A shipping box (1) for shipping of high-value, highly sensitive objects, especially framed paintings, or painting stabilized in terms of shape in some other way, has a frame having side walls (3), a bottom wall (4) and a top wall (5) which forms a cover, and can be completely sealed, the walls of the shipping box (1) being lined with vacuum insulation panels (6).
