Abstract:

Multi-colored designs are applied on a plurality of textile fabric or sheet materials with a silk screen printer having several platens arranged in two horizontal rows below a longitudinal heater which is movable across either row. The textiles, such as articles of clothing, are placed over respective platens and secured in pivotable hold down frames. A silk screen with a desired design is secured in a screen frame having a corner registration guide and is positioned against a main registration guide affixed to the hold down frame to align the design on the article. The color ink material is applied with a squeegee through the screen onto the article, and this is repeated manually with the same screen frame and design successively at each platen for several like articles. After application of heat to set the first color along the row of articles, another screen frame with a screen having a related pattern for the next color and another registration guide mounted on the corner of the screen frame is positioned against the main guide to apply the second color at the desired location on each article. Any number of colors can be applied successively using pre-registered screen designs secured in frames with guides attached to achieve precise registration.

Abstract:

A cap assembly for a threaded neck of a container includes an inner threaded cap which fits closely within an outer cap that is rotatable about the inner cap within defined limits. The outer cap includes a transparent window through which means are displayed to provide a positive indication of a prior usage or tampering. In one embodiment, a drive bar and a series of breakable fins on the outer cap seen through the window are moved into contact with a break and open bar on the inner cap. After the fins are broken, the drive bar engages the break and open bar to permit rotation of the inner cap with the outer cap and removal of the assembly to open the container. Replacement in the opposite direction causes the drive bar to engage a close bar on the inner cap to reseal the container while the broken fins remain visible. A second embodiment has an indicator sleeve instead of fins with a second drive bar to move a SAFE indicia in view of the window during the opening rotation. When the cap is replaced and tightened, a warning symbol moves into view to indicate the prior opening.
