A dispenser-holder of simple construction for foils which come packaged in a box of substantially square cross-section is provided which is adapted to receive and hold the box, the holder having a rigid ledge with a cutting edge so that the foil may be unrolled from the box and cut to the desired size with one hand and so that, after cutting, a protruding edge of the foil remaining on the roll extends over the rigid ledge so that the next sheet is readily obtained therefrom.

A fluorescent foil is formed from a translucent/transparent foil material having admixed therewith coloring matter and fluorescent matter. A translucent layer substantially impermeable to ultraviolet rays is provided on one side of the foil material. A translucent adhesive layer is also applied to the fluorescent foil, preferably to the translucent ultraviolet barrier layer. A sign board is formed on translucent/transparent substrate by attaching fluorescent foils so formed to opposite sides of ...

A connector for connecting an insulated, pliable, foil conductor to a termination point which may be, for example, a source of electrical current. A pointed conical base portion serves as an anvil for tearing through and segmenting the foil conductor and receiving the teeth of an overlying clamping portion. The teeth scrub the foil surface removing any insulation or oxide films thereon and make good contact with the conductor as the teeth wedge against and imbed themselves in the base portion, l...

A stamping foil comprising: (a) a biaxially oriented polyester film containing as a first component from 0.01 to 0.5% by weight of spherical silica particles having an average particle diameter of from 0.03 .mu.m and smaller 0.3 .mu.m and a particle diameter ratio defined as a ratio of long diameter/short diameter of from 1.0 to 1.2, and as a second component from 0.002 to 0.2% by weight of spherical silica particles having an average particle diameter of from 0.6 to 3 .mu.m and a particle diame...

An embossing foil such as a hot embossing foil is of a laminate structure comprising in succession a backing foil, a separating layer, a transparent cover lacquer, a decorative layer means and a foundation layer of an at least translucent material. The decorative layer means successively comprises a first decorative layer adjacent to the cover lacquer layer, an opaque intermediate layer and a second decorative layer adjacent to the foundation layer. The opaque intermediate layer can be covered a...

Vessels with improved performance capability and methods for improving such performance and foils which may be associated with a vessel for providing this improved performance capability. Additionally, a method and device for improving flow through a microporous barrier and a diffuser cell for generating gas bubbles, both of which may be associated with a vessel and/or a foil for a vessel for improving its performance. The foil is positioned forward of the vessel bowpeak with its trailing edge c...

An embossing foil has three-dimensional patterning which does not extend uniformly over the entire surface of the foil but only over regions thereof. The region-wise three-dimensional patterning can be produced by the surface of the backing film, which is three-dimensionally patterned throughout, being covered in a region-wise manner with a lacquer forming a smooth surface, or by a thermoplastically deformable layer being provided in the interior of a decorative lacquer layer on the embossing fo...

A foil-cutting device is disclosed for opening a foil protecting a dose of medical power carried by a dosing cassette or the like for an inhaler device. The dosing cassette will in a typical embodiment carry a number of prepared doses (31), which for protection of the medical powder are covered by a metallic or plastic foil (24). The foil-cutter device of the present invention provides a tool (11) for accessing a selected sealed dose of medical powder of the cassette during an inhalation process...

The invention comprises a grounding foil member having one or more cavities therein, formed of tangs for securing circuit elements such as filters thereto by means of direct contact. The outer edge of the foil member which contacts the inner shell of a conductor is formed of flaps bent at an angle. Each of the flaps deflect upon entering the shell which completes the electrical circuit between the filter and the shell through the ground foil. The filter may be removed from the ground foil and th...

Vaporized material is condensed and solidified on the surface of a revolving drum from which the material is stripped as a foil. A leader or starter sheet is temporarily magnetically retained on the drum and extended to a takeup means to aid in starting continuous deposition and stripping. Electron beams are employed in various ways to vaporize the material.
