12049339 · 2024-07-30 · ·

A system for assembling a container and closure comprising an expanding collet which has a plurality of pivoting collet segments, each configured to simultaneously pivot radially outward about a pivot point and comprising. The collet comprises a lip that is engagable with the rim of the open end of the container and an angled tip positioned radially inward from the lip and shaped to press a countersink portion of the closure against an interior wall of the container as the collet segments pivot radially outward. As the container and the chuck are brought together, the rim engages with the lips of the collet segments and causes the angled tips of the collet segments to pivot outward toward the interior wall of the container, thereby pushing the countersink portion of the closure against the interior wall of the container.

COMBINATION THERAPY FOR COPD

Aerosol formulations comprising glycopyrronium bromide in combination with formoterol are useful for the prevention or treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The formulation further comprises a HFA propellant, a co-solvent, and an amount of inorganic acid sufficient to stabilize both the glycopyrronium bromide and the formoterol components. Optionally the formulation may further comprise beclometasone dipropionate.

Servo-driven seamer assembly for sealing a container

A seamer assembly includes a frame, a first servo assembly, a second servo assembly, a first support element, a second support element, a first die, and a second die. The first servo assembly is coupled to the frame. The first servo assembly includes a chuck that is configured to be rotated by the first servo assembly. The second servo assembly is coupled to the frame. The first support element is configured to support a can subassembly that includes a can body and a lid relative to the frame where at least one of the first support element, the first servo assembly and second servo assembly move relative to the other of the first support element, the first servo assembly and second servo assembly. The second support element is coupled to the second servo assembly. The first die is coupled to the second support element. The second die is coupled to the second support element. The first support element is configured to support a can subassembly such that the chuck is received in a first chuck position. The first servo assembly is configured to selectively rotate the can subassembly when the chuck is received in the first chuck position. The second servo assembly is configured to selectively reposition the second support element such that the first die and the second die are correspondingly repositioned.

METHOD, TOOL AND ASSEMBLY FOR TIGHTLY CLOSING A RECEPTACLE, AND TIGHTLY CLOSED RECEPTACLE
20180297104 · 2018-10-18 ·

The present invention aims at closing a receptacle (1) provided with an opening (2) as tightly as possible while keeping low the amount of material required for a closure (3) used for this purpose. To this end, a tool (10) is suggested that closes the opening (2) of the receptacle (1) by means of the closure (3). The tool (10) comprises a tool plate (12) configured such that it is adapted to be introduced into the opening (2) of the receptacle (1). The tool further comprises at least one roll (11) that is arranged on the tool plate (12). The at least one roll (11) is adapted to be deflected radially outwards from a starting position into a closing position and returns to its starting position, so that a radial force can be caused to act on a closure rim (4) of the closure (3) for a limited period of time, the closure rim (4) being arranged between the at least one roll (11) and the receptacle inner side (5).

Tray for soft materials and methods of loading trays with soft materials

A tray for receiving sausages is provided. The tray includes cells which are adapted to substantially match the shape of sausages or other soft materials. The tray may be vacuum sealed to cause a relatively uniform top surface suitable for stacking. The tray may be sealed without pre-freezing the sausages and without causing significant deformation to said sausages upon thawing. The tray may be loaded in an automated manner without the use of robotic arms placing individual sausages into the tray.
