Leak Prevention Systems for Content Security

Packaging inspection device that can detect leakage of contents from sealed bags without applying voltage or using gas filling equipment. The device has a contact device that touches the bag and a fluorescence detection device that checks for leaked fluorescent material. When contents leak from a punctured bag, they attach to the contact surfaces. The fluorescence detector finds the leaked fluorescent material on the contact surfaces, indicating a leak. This prevents new holes by avoiding voltage and allows accurate leak detection regardless of bag or contents color.

Automated method and arrangement for wrapping two sleeves around a mail item, like a magazine, to securely hold the contents without fully enclosing it. The mail item is transported through two wrapping sections, one wrapping perpendicularly and the other parallel to the transport direction. This cross-oriented wrapping stabilizes the item and prevents separation of pages. The sleeves can directly contact at the top and bottom of the item.

Tool to easily remove and replace press-in bottle adapters from medication bottles without damaging the bottle or spilling the medication. The tool has a removable cap that fits over the bottle opening and a key with a protrusion that extends through the cap aperture. The key's actuator engages the cap to drive the protrusion into the adapter's stopper. This locks the adapter in place. To remove, the actuator translates to disengage the cap and protrusion. The cap is then detached to extract the adapter. The tool avoids direct contact with the adapter and bottle threads, preventing damage or spillage.

A feeder apparatus for consistently feeding fish into canning machines without waste or damage. The feeder uses a forming station with overlapping upper and lower conveyors that compress the fish into a desired thickness. An elongated knife cuts the fish into a pat width. A movable wall forms the other side. A support conveyor advances the formed pats to a takeaway conveyor. This confined feeding reduces fish movement, preventing crumbling and loss. The formed pats are advanced into the canning machine.

A filling valve structure for a refillable spray bottle that allows easy filling of liquid into the bottle without leakage. The structure has a partition at the bottom of the bottle with a central through-hole. A piston assembly is placed in the partition. It has a liquid injection hole and an exhaust hole. The exhaust hole has a plunger that extends into it. When filling, the piston moves up, the plunger seals the exhaust hole, and the air escapes through the main hole. This prevents liquid from leaking. A return spring pushes the piston back down.

Powder bed fusion (PBF) additive manufacturing system optimized for making annular parts like gas turbine compressor stages. The system has a rotating annular build plate and specialized components to efficiently consolidate powder without waste. The build head delivers powder, recoaters pack it, and an optical array sinter's it. The recoater segments are angled relative to the rotation axis. This allows uniform packing of annular beds without tracking over unconsolidated areas. The annular plate also has inner/outer walls with apertures to collect excess powder during rotation. The recoater directs it to a reservoir. This reduces unconsolidated powder and non-productive tracking compared to rectangular plates.

Bottle shaker with enclosed capsule to mix samples without leakage or instability. The shaker has a chamber with multiple rotating capsules that receive sealed bottles containing samples. The capsules have inner cushioning to support the bottles. A rotating device inside the chamber connects the capsule shafts and provides power to rotate them. This allows mixing samples inside sealed bottles without exposing them to the external environment. The capsules prevent leakage and provide stable sample support during high-speed rotation.

A packaging container with a cap that automatically cuts the sealing membrane when opened, eliminating the need for separate cutting tools. The cap has protrusions that engage guides in the container body. As the cap is removed, the protrusions cut the sealing membrane around the opening. The guides have a shape that causes the protrusions to penetrate and cut the membrane. This allows the container to be opened without separate cutting tools and prevents membrane fragments from contaminating the contents.

Packaging box for stick products like candy, medicine, or coffee that prevents spilling when opening. The lid has wings that extend at a right angle when opened, stopping fully. The wings have protrusions that interfere with the inner wall when rotating, preventing complete lid opening. A guide groove faces the wall and a protrusion inserts there to prevent lid rotation. This keeps the lid partially open to remove sticks while stopping spilling.

Two-layer food packaging container with a built-in inner tray that reduces manufacturing costs and prevents spills and odor mixing during transportation. The container has an outer container body, an inner tray fitted inside, and a lid that covers both. The inner tray has a flange fitting portion that connects to the outer container body flange. The lid has a straight side that abuts against the inner tray flange. This securely attaches the inner tray and outer container. The straight side prevents separation and spills. The flange fit helps prevent tray separation and mixing odors during transport.

Woven pouch bags with features to prevent leakage, breakage, and infestation at the ends and gussets. The bags have angled or curved separations between sections, cut-outs and tabs at the ends, and weakened areas at the front wall. These features prevent tearing, puncturing, and separation when filled and opened. The bags also have laminated woven construction with a woven inner layer and a film outer layer, allowing recycling.

A food packaging container with a unique design to prevent food from shifting or spreading inside the container while also allowing the contents to be easily viewed. The container has a sloping vessel wall that rises from the bottom all around the periphery, with a height difference of 5 mm or more between the bottom and the upper end of the wall. This prevents the food from moving around or spilling. The sloping wall allows the food to be seen, preventing it from getting hidden or trapped. The container also has legs protruding downward from the bottom to stabilize it. This design eliminates the need for separate internal containers or walls, which can be time-consuming and prone to misalignment.

Environmentally friendly and convenient tissue packaging container that avoids contamination issues and reduces waste compared to conventional containers. The container has a divided interior with a cut groove separating two zones. The container is made by laminating layers of polyethylene, polypropylene, and a shellac polymer. The groove is formed by laser cutting. This allows easy opening without a separate sealing strip. The divided interior prevents adhesive seepage into the tissues. The container can be manufactured in one step by laminating and cutting instead of separate sealing steps.

An ink bottle with a unique thread design to prevent ink leakage if the lid is dropped or impacted. The thread on the bottle neck is divided into two separate spirals that form a continuous shape when viewed from the side. This split thread configuration allows the lid to separate cleanly from the bottle if impacted, preventing cracking or deformation that could leak ink. The split thread also has recesses between the spirals that create a continuous path for the thread to follow, preventing any gaps or gaps between the threads that could leak ink.

A dosing cap for flexible packaging like doypacks that reduces product sticking and allows controlled dispensing of food products. The cap has four holes in a row above the body surface that allow product to be extruded out in thin streams. This prevents product from contacting the cap surface and sticking, making it easier to dispense and reducing waste. The raised holes also increase the dispersion area compared to a single large stream. The cap screws onto the doypack and can be made from food-safe materials like PP.
