The method comprises applying at least one layer of a coating composition comprising a solvent selected from water, ethanol, and isopropanol, or any combination thereof and one or more film forming agents to the external surface of the product, and then drying the coating composition to provide a dried coating or film on the external surface of the chocolate. The dried coating renders the external surface of the chocolate more resistant to abrasion or scuffing during processing, packaging, storage, and / or transport. The coating composition of the present invention cures or dries in 30 minutes or less. In certain embodiments, the film or coating cures in 15 minutes or less. In certain embodiments, the film or coating cures in 10 minutes or less.

A washer is for a hinge assembly. The hinge assembly includes a shaft. The washer is placed around the shaft. The engagement between the washer and the shaft is a clearance fit. By the clearance engagement between the washer and the main shaft, the mechanism efficiency is greatly improved.

The invention relates to a cooking utensil comprising a hollow bowl with a base and a side wall rising from the base, and including at least one fragile area. The bowl has a concave inner surface for receiving food, as well as a convex outer surface. The utensil is coated successively, from the bowl, with a hard base and a nonstick coating, which covers the hard base and includes at least one layer containing at least one fluorocarbon resin. The hard base has a layer that is at least broken at the fragile area. The invention also relates to a method for producing such a utensil.

An optical connector according to the present invention has a ferrule body provided with a fiber positioning hole, a pair of guide holes into which guide pins are inserted, and a connecting end face in which ends of the fiber positioning hole and guide holes open. A chamfer portion equivalent to a part of a surface of a body of revolution is formed at each guide hole on the connecting end face side. Further, the connecting end face is formed at an angle relative to a plane normal to the center axes of the pair of guide holes. In this structure, the slope of the connecting end face can suppress degradation of connection loss, and the provision of the chamfer portions can facilitate insertion of the guide pins, prevent damage of the connecting end face due to the guide pins, and also suppress degradation of connection loss due to the damage.

A feed device for a high-pressure roller press for the high-pressure comminution of material to be ground, the feed device feeding the material to be ground in a controlled manner into the roller nip between two rollers of the high-pressure roller press. The feed device has at least two rotary valves, the position of which is variable independently of each other. In a refinement of the invention, the feed device also has a shaft which is variable in height above the roller nip. By means of the rotary valves which are variable independently of each other and by means of the height-variable shaft, the feeding behavior of the feed device can be varied during the starting of the high-pressure roller press and during the operation of the high-pressure roller press in order thereby to prevent the high-pressure roller press from vibrating and to ensure optimum operation of the high-pressure roller press.

A carrier is supported by a case via a bearing. The bearing comprises an inner race, an outer race, rollers, and a retainer. The inner race has a tapered outer peripheral surface, and is fixed to a carrier. The outer race has a tapered inner peripheral surface facing the outer peripheral surface of the inner race, and is fixed to the case. The rollers is disposed between the inner race and the outer race. An end part of the retainer having a larger diameter makes contact with the case via a first member. The larger diameter end part of the retainer makes contact with the case via a second member. By the retainer making contact with the case and the carrier via the first member and the second member, the retainer can reduce friction compared to when making direct contact with the case and the carrier.

A grinder has first and second body parts rotatable to each other. The first and second body parts engage the outer and inner burrs, respectively. A supporting flange in the second body part forms a seat to receive the outer burr. The outer burr is pressed toward the supporting flange to localize the outer burr against undesirable forces generated during grinding. A ring-shaped plate is sandwiched between the supporting flange and the outer burr. The outer burr presses on a bearing surface of the plate. The bearing surface is more resistant to abrasion than the supporting flange, advantageously reducing wear debris generation due to abrasion by the outer burr. Furthermore, a shaft engaging the inner burr is shaped as a triangular column for more effectively transmitting a received torque to the inner burr, allowing a plastic shaft to be used so as to reduce the manufacturing cost.
