Bruce Joseph Maliner - Edgewater NJ, US
David Pastrich - Plainview NY, US
James Kenneth Hester - Douglasville GA, US

Assignee:

Alcan International Limited - Montreal, Quebec

International Classification:

G09F 3/00

US Classification:

40310, 283 81

Abstract:

A label for a soft drink bottle or other container. The label is an elongated strip of flexible material having first and second ends, inner and outer surfaces and upper and lower edges. A first quantity of adhesive is applied to the inner surface of the strip adjacent to the first end, a second quantity of adhesive is applied to the inner surface of the strip adjacent to the second end, and a third quantity of adhesive is applied to the inner surface of the strip in a region spaced from the first and second ends. A tear line extends laterally across the strip between the upper and lower edges, the tear line being positioned adjacent to the third quantity of adhesive between the third quantity of adhesive and the second end of the strip, and defines an adhesive-free area on the inner surface between the tear line and the second quantity of adhesive. The material of the strip comprising a tamper-evident layer that provides clear indication of peeling of the second end of the strip and/or tearing along the tear line. The invention also relates to a container with such a label and apparatus for applying the label.

Abstract:

A fluid-reactor, heat exchange device and method of reacting a fluid in the device. The device embodies a bundle of heat-exchange tubes mounted internally of an elongated reactor shell to a stationary tubesheet attached to the reactor shell near one end of the shell. The heat-exchange tubes are also mounted to a floating tubesheet which is located near the other end of the shell. Attached to the floating tubesheet is a catalyst basket which when the device is in operation will contain catalyst. The catalyst is supported in the basket, and the fluid to be reacted will enter the shell near the point of attachment to the stationary tubesheet, where it will contact the heat exchange tubes. The fluid will flow along the outside of the tubes and into the catalyst basket where it will contact the catalyst and react. The fluid will then pass into the heat exchange tubes and finally be removed from the device near the end of the reactor where it was introduced.
