SUMMARY "SELFLOCKING SYRINGE" ____________________ The invention regards a selflocking syringe. The syringe rod (13) is equipped with an extractor (15) which, when the syringe plunger (12) is pushed to the end of the stroke, hooks (15b) the neddle (11) and withdraws it by means of a preloaded spring (16) to the inside of the rod (13), into a protected and inaccessible position, thus making the syr...

There is disclosed the process of incorporating a deodorant powder (of various mechanisms of action) into a hydrophilic, swellable, water-insoluble asbsorbent crosslinked polymer, which swellable polymer is coated on a thin, flexible, substrate e.g. a non-woven web, a paper tissue, or a water-insensitive film, and the resultant flexible structures which contain the deodorant powders, held in a dus...

A method of making detergent laundry bars containing anionic detergent active, detergency builder and other ingredients in which method at least one component of a two-component hardening system is mixed with the detergent active prior to neutralisation, the two components being a polyvalent metal compound and a silaceous compound.

A method of making detergent laundry bars containing anionic detergent active, detergency builder and other ingredients wherein a water soluble phosphate, a water soluble polyvalent metal compound and a silaceous material are mixed together so that the phosphate is added before the metal compound or silaceous material or both.

2105565 9216597 PCTABS00016 The present invention provides refrigerant blends which are replacements for chlorodifluoromethane (HCFC-22). The present blends have refrigeration characteristics which are similar to HCFC-22. The blends comprise from about 10 to about 90 weight percent of a first component selected from the group consisting of 1,1,1-trifluoroethane, difluoromethane, propane, and mixtu...

Sensitive and/or chemically reactive detergent additives can be shaped in the form of spherical particles having the desirable properties of being non-friable, non-dusty and at the same time fast-dissolving. The process comprises the steps of treating a mixture comprising said detergent additive and a hydratable material with a polymeric material of high Tg in a high-speed mixer/granulator. A pref...

Process for the realization of binding elements, characterised in that it consists in the extrusion of a cylindrical element (5) with overlapping edges (6-7); the reshaping to a flat strip (8) of this cylindrical element; the realization of teeth (3) in this strip (8); and the release of the above mentioned flat strip (8), so that the latter automatically returns to its cylindrical shape.
