Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
A method of producing a joined capsule filled with a viscous material, the capsule comprising a body part having an open end ridge and a cap having an open end adapted for mounting on to said open end of the body part, the steps comprising: a. Applying a pasty solidifying sealing composition, which is inert with respect to the viscous material, in a form of a strand in the inner side of the joined capsule, in the area of the ridge of the body part; b. Filling the capsule with said viscous material through an aperture of said cap, and c. Sealing the aperture in said cap.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
107 words
A method of producing a joined capsule filled with a viscous material, the capsule comprising a body part having an open end ridge and a cap having an open end adapted for mounting on to said open end of the body part, the steps comprising: a. Applying a pasty solidifying sealing composition, which is inert with respect to the viscous material, in a form of a strand in the inner side of the joined capsule, in the area of the ridge of the body part; b. Filling the capsule with said viscous material through an aperture of said cap, and c. Sealing the aperture in said cap.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The method according to claim 1, in which said sealing composition is sprayed onto said inner side of the joined capsule in the area of the ridge of the body part.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The method according to claim 1, in which the cap is moved in an upward direction to interlock the cap with the body part after the introduction of the sealing composition.
