Assignee:

Siemens Electrocom, L.P. - Arlington TX

International Classification:

B07C 500

US Classification:

209583, 209912, 19837004, 198805, 104290, 105239

Abstract:

A sorter conveyor system according to the invention includes at least one endless conveyor loop including a rail. One or more conveyor segments are mounted on the rail. Each segment is a series of cart units each having wheel structures mounted for rolling movement along the rail, a carrier for carrying one or more items thereon, a selectively actuable mechanism for actuating the carrier laterally in at least one direction to unload an item from the carrier to an unloading station adjacent the conveyor loop, and a coupling mechanism for joining each cart unit in each series in a head to tail relationship. One or more drive elements are connected to one or more of the cart units and configured to permit the conveyor segment to be driven by a linear drive unit. A drive system is provided which includes a plurality of linear drive units, preferably linear induction motors (LIMs) disposed at spaced positions along the conveyor loop for driving each of the drive elements of the cart units in each segment, such that each conveyor segment can each be driven independently of each other conveyor segment by selective actuation of the linear drive units.

B65B 1/04

US Classification:

604506, 604221, 53440

Abstract:

A syringe containing a high water content product and for use in a drug infusion system is provided. The syringe includes a plunger carrying front and rear o-rings made of a diene rubber compound such as chlorobutyl rubber or bromobutyl rubber to impart very low gas permeability characteristics to the o-rings. The plunger may be molded as a single part or in two parts. If molded as one part with radially-engaging mold portions, the seal glands in the plunger may include parting lines from the mold. If molded as two parts with axially-engaging mold portions, the front seal gland may include a sealing surface and under cut that has no parting line. The o-rings may be surface treated with a lubricant to improve sealing where the molding process gives rise to parting lines in the seal glands.

International Classification:

B67D 542

US Classification:

222386

Abstract:

The invention is a plunger useful in extruding or dispensing viscous material which comprises a thin disc of a material which is capable of deforming when subjected to back pressure during use. The edge of the disc has a circular shape and a cylindrical lip attached to the edge of the disc, which lip is disposed perpendicular to the edge of the disc. The disc has a face and a back surface located on opposite sides of the sheet. The disc also has a symmetrical convex portion which protrudes beyond the plane defined by the edge of the disc in the direction of the face and the peak of the convex portion disposed in the center of the disc. The disc further comprises a symmetrical concave portion which protrudes beyond the plane defined by the edge of the disc in the direction of the back surface. The concave portion of the disc surrounds the convex portion of the disc and the convex portion starts at the bottom of the concave portion. The radius of the convex portion, measured from the peak to the bottom of the concave portion, is sufficient to withstand the back pressure exerted during use without inverting.
