It is an object to provide a fastening element which can be easily mounted on an attaching gun as well as provide a fastening element with less generation of jamming at the time of operation. Because a fastening element comprises a plurality of a unit fastening element arranged adjacently and in parallelism with each other, each of the unit fastening element comprising a filament section, an inserting head section equipped with a suitable engagement section located at one end of the filament section, and a socket section equipped with a hole for irreversibly passing the inserting head section located at the other end of the filament section, the fastening element characterized in that a plurality of the socket sections or their vicinities each being adjacently arranged to each other and a plurality of the inserting head sections or their vicinities each being adjacently arranged to each other, are temporarily and individually connected to each one of connection bars, respectively, and further each of the connection bars are closely arranged to each other so as to be oppositely disposed to each other with a predetermined length displaced to each other along a longitudinal direction of the both connection bars and further the filament section of each one of the unit fastening elements being formed in curved configuration which is in fixed condition, jamming is less generated when the operator couples the fastening element by the coupler gun. |

A paraffin refill or package system or article wherein the paraffin mixture is provided in a large total volume which has preselected portions or sub-volumes which are defined by a divider structure. The sub-volumes or portions are preferably cube shaped. In use, a single carton containing the paraffin refill or system is opened. One or more portions or cubes of the system are added to the bath apparatus reservoir and heated. The user then observes the resultant liquefied mix to determine whether additional portions of the system are necessary. Any remaining portions of the system are saved in the carton. The paraffin refill or package system is made by a method basically comprising the steps of placing a divider structure in a molding container, adding a mixture of melted paraffin wax and liquid mineral oil to the container; cooling the mixture or permitting the mixture to cool to a predetermined temperature so that it solidifies; and placing the solidified mixture and divider structure in a package or a paraffin bath. |

A stack of plastic articles and a process of forming the stack are disclosed. Preferably the stack is of heat-fusible plastic slide elements for use in a diagnostic analyzer, the elements being temporarily and non-destructively fused together so that the stack can be used free of a cartridge. In another embodiment, the stack can be of any plastic article temporarily fused to adjacent elements, one side edge of each element bearing a colorant and another bearing no colorant, so that a bar code for the stack is inherently formed simply by rotating each element to project outwardly the colored side edge or the side edge lacking colorant, prior to fusing the elements together. |
