Appl. No.:

12/730965

Joseph W. Reilly - Chatham NJ, US

International Classification:

A61F 2/08

US Classification:

623 1319

Abstract:

A device has been developed to augment the rotator cuff tendon tissue as it proceeds in healing. The device has two purposes: to provide initial stability to the rotator cuff repair site to allow early mobilization of the upper extremity of the patient, and to allow for reinforcement of rotator cuff tendon repairs to increase the likelihood of successful rotator cuff tendon repairs. The device consists of an inter-connected, open pore structure that enables even and random distribution and in-growth of tendon cells. The braided structure allows for distribution of mechanical forces over a larger area of tissue at the fixation point(s).

Appl. No.:

5/507395

Assignee:

Monsanto Company - St. Louis MO

International Classification:

B29C 1707
B29C 2500

US Classification:

264 40

Abstract:

In a method of conditioning preforms to be molded into containers which includes feeding them in groups to a temperature-conditioning zone where they are reduced to orientation temperature for immediate molding into containers, improvements are provided which involve diverting other groups away from the temperature-conditioning zone to an adjacent cooling zone wherein they are reduced to a temperature whereat sticking together cannot occur, prior to collecting them for later molding.

Monsanto Company - St. Louis MO

International Classification:

F27B 914
F02M 1728

US Classification:

432122

Abstract:

Apparatus for temperature-conditioning workpieces comprises a series of bar assemblies for supporting a number of elongated molded parts in side-by-side relationship, heat transfer assemblies including horizontally spaced panels extending along a chamber, means for conveying the parts supported in the bar assemblies through the chamber between the panels and rotating means operatively interconnected with the conveying means and bar assemblies for turning the parts. Infeed means sequentially release loaded bar assemblies at regular intervals to the chamber while metering means preferably driven through downstream equipment continuously release bar assemblies to the discharge end of the chamber. Reciprocable gate means allow temperature-conditioned parts to drop out of the bar assemblies to collection equipment. Process improvements include a.

Joseph R. Reilly - Naugatuck CT

Assignee:

Monsanto Company - St. Louis MO

International Classification:

B29D 2303

US Classification:

425387B

Abstract:

In apparatus for conditioning preforms to be molded into containers which includes a temperature-conditioning assembly for bringing the preforms to orientation temperature and a supply assembly therefor, the combination is provided therewith of a preform cooling assembly proximate to the temperature-conditioning assembly for reducing the temperature of preforms to below orientation temperature, an integral extension of the supply assembly of the type used with the temperature conditioning assembly, means operatively associated with the temperature-conditioning assembly or downstream stretch-blow assemblies for actuating the cooling assembly loading mechanism plus means for collecting preforms at the outlet of the cooling assembly.

Appl. No.:

5/536416

Inventors:

Joseph R. Reilly - Naugatuck CT

Assignee:

Monsanto Company - St. Louis MO

International Classification:

B65G 4738

US Classification:

198131

Abstract:

A process for handling workpieces by sequentially loading them into holder portions of continuously moving carrier assemblies, simultaneously abruptly shifting a group of such holders to workpiece-release positions at a discharge station while continuing movement of the carrier assemblies back toward the loading stations, and resetting the holders prior to arrival at the loading station in order to receive additional workpieces. The apparatus includes a holder trip mechanism portion of each carrier assembly, means supporting such assemblies for sequential movement along an endless path, an actuating assembly for simultaneously triggering the trip mechanisms of a group of the carrier assemblies at the discharge station and reset means for returning the holders to workpiece-engaging positions. The process and apparatus is especially adapted for use in combination with a system for temperature-conditioning elongated molded parts.

International Classification:

B23B 100
B23B 514

US Classification:

82 48

Abstract:

In trimming moils from plastic articles with a blade interposed in a path along which the articles are moving while engaged with fixed and moving guides, the improvement is provided of a retractable blade assembly movable between operative and inoperative positions by fluid motor power to permit passing articles through the path either while being trimmed or not, depending on up or downstream conditions. Means may also be included for shifting one of the guides, preferably the stationary one, into and retracted from its operative position on one side of such path.
