[0002] The "water cup" fastener is a functional component added to the filter rod. It's conical (or cup-shaped) and contains a sealed liquid. By squeezing the fastener, the liquid soaks into the filter rod's filaments, filtering out most of the tar, carbon monoxide, and other particulate matter produced during smoking. This reduces the harmful effects of smoke on smokers and improves the smoking experience.

[0003] In the existing technology, during production, the "water cup" firmware is conveyed by a firmware conveying device. The firmware conveying device usually includes a pushing mechanism and a turntable. The pushing mechanism is used to push the "water cup" firmware conveyed from the upstream equipment into the turntable, and then the turntable sends the "water cup" firmware to the downstream equipment, thereby completing the transfer of the "water cup" firmware.

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments.

[0058] The present invention provides a pushing mechanism, which includes a mounting seat, a driving motor, a crank turntable, a first sliding arm, a first sliding member, a pushing block, and a first guiding unit; the driving motor is mounted on the mounting seat; the crank turntable is mounted on the output shaft of the driving motor; a sliding groove is provided on the first sliding arm; the first sliding member is eccentrically mounted on the crank turntable and is located in the sliding groove; the pushing block is connected to the first sliding arm; the first guiding unit is mounted on the mounting seat and connected to the first sliding arm to limit and guide the sliding direction of the first sliding arm; the driving motor is used to drive the crank turntable to rotate so that the first sliding member moves in the sliding groove, thereby driving the first sliding arm to move linearly. The pushing mechanism drives the crank turntable to rotate through the driving motor, and thus, through the cooperation between the first sliding member and the first sliding arm, the rotation of the crank turntable is converted into the linear movement of the pushing block, thereby realizing the pushing action of the pushing mechanism. During the driving process, the push block moves more smoothly, so that when the push block pushes the material, the firmware is not easily deflected, thereby improving the stability of the equipment operation.

[0059] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment provides a pushing mechanism 100 for pushing a firmware to a desired device. Specifically, in one embodiment, the firmware is a "water cup" firmware added to a filter rod.

[0060] The pusher mechanism 100 includes a mounting base 10, a drive motor 20, a crank turntable 30, a first sliding arm 40, a first sliding member 50, a push block 60, and a first guide unit 70. The drive motor 20 is mounted on the mounting base 10, and the crank turntable 30 is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 20, so that the operation of the drive motor 20 can drive the crank turntable 30 to rotate. A sliding groove 41 is provided on the first sliding arm 40, and the first sliding member 50 is eccentrically mounted on the crank turntable 30 and located in the sliding groove 41. The eccentric mounting of the first sliding member 50 on the crank turntable 30 means that the central axis of the first sliding member 50 is located at a different position from the central axis of the crank turntable 30, and the first sliding member 50 is not located at the exact center of the crank turntable 30. Therefore, when the crank turntable 30 rotates, the first sliding member 50 will perform a circular motion centered on the central axis of the crank turntable 30. The push block 60 is connected to the first sliding arm 40, so that when the first sliding arm 40 moves, it can synchronously drive the push block 60 to move. The first guide unit 70 is mounted on the mounting base 10 and connected to the first sliding arm 40 to limit and guide the sliding direction of the first sliding arm 40. In other words, the first guide unit 70 acts as a limiting guide when the first sliding arm 40 moves. Through the guidance and limitation of the first guide unit 70, the first sliding arm 40 can only move along the guiding direction of the first guide unit 70, thereby ensuring that the first sliding arm 40 accurately moves in the desired direction during operation of the push mechanism 100.

[0061] The drive motor 20 is used to rotate the crank disk 30, causing the first sliding member 50 to move within the chute 41, thereby driving the first sliding arm 40 to move linearly. When the crank disk 30 rotates, the first sliding member 50 performs a circular motion, while simultaneously sliding within the chute 41. As a result, the first sliding member 50 applies force to the first sliding arm 40 through the walls of the chute 41, pushing and pulling the first sliding arm 40. Due to the limitation of the first guide unit 70, the first sliding arm 40 can only move linearly in the desired direction, thereby converting the rotation of the crank disk 30 into reciprocating linear motion of the first sliding arm 40. Since the push block 60 is connected to the first sliding arm 40, it drives the push block 60 to move back and forth linearly, achieving continuous feeding of the firmware.

[0062] The pushing mechanism 100 uses the driving motor 20 as a power source, and drives the slide arm structure to move back and forth through the crank structure. It has good structural stability, smooth movement, and high motion control accuracy, allowing the pushing block 60 to move more smoothly. The firmware is not prone to deflection during the pushing process, and the firmware can be pushed into subsequent equipment more stably, ensuring the stability of the equipment operation.

[0063] Preferably, in one embodiment, the first sliding member 50 is rotatably disposed in the slide groove 41. That is, the first sliding member 50 can rotate on its own. When the first sliding member 50 follows the crank turntable 30 in a circular motion, the first sliding member 50 rolls along the groove wall of the slide groove 41 rather than sliding. This can reduce the friction between the first sliding member 50 and the first sliding arm 40, thereby reducing frictional losses of the components. Specifically, in one embodiment, the first sliding member 50 is a roller mounted on the crank turntable 30.

[0064] Preferably, in one embodiment, the first guide unit 70 includes a first guide rail 71 and a first guide slider 72. The first guide rail 71 is mounted on the mounting base 10, and its extension direction is parallel to the radial direction of the crank disk 30. The first guide slider 72 is slidably mounted on the first guide rail 71 and is connected to the first sliding arm 40. When the first sliding member 50 applies force to the first sliding arm 40, the first guide rail 71 and the first guide slider 72 restrict the first sliding arm 40 to reciprocating linear movement parallel to the radial direction of the crank disk 30, thereby driving the push block 60 to reciprocate radially parallel to the crank disk 30, pushing and feeding the hardware. In other embodiments, the first guide unit 70 may comprise only a guide rail, with the first sliding arm 40 acting as the slider. In other words, it is sufficient for the first guide unit 70 to guide the movement of the first sliding arm 40. In this embodiment, the structure of the first guide rail 71 and the first guide slider 72 can directly adopt existing standard parts without the need to customize the corresponding structure, which also makes installation easier.

[0065] Preferably, in one embodiment, the mounting base 10 includes a mounting base body 11 and a connecting arm 12 connected to the mounting base body 11, the drive motor 20 is mounted on the mounting base body 11, and the first guide rail 71 is mounted on the connecting arm 12. This structure can better avoid interference between components, make component installation easier, and simplify the installation structure.

[0066] Preferably, in one embodiment, the pusher mechanism 100 includes a second sliding arm 80, a second sliding member 90, a blocking block 110, and a second guide unit 120. A cam groove 31 is defined on the crank disk 30, and the second sliding member 90 is mounted on the second sliding arm 40 and positioned within the cam groove 31. As the crank disk 30 rotates, the second sliding member 90 slides within the cam groove 31. As the second sliding member 90 slides to different positions within the cam groove 31, the walls of the cam groove 31 push or pull the second sliding member 90, thereby driving the second sliding arm 80 to reciprocate. The blocking block 110 is connected to the second sliding arm 80 and faces the pusher block 60. Along the axial direction of the crank disk 30, the blocking block 110 and the pusher block 60 are spaced apart from each other. Thus, when the crank disk 30 drives the second sliding arm 80 to reciprocate, it also drives the blocking block 110 to reciprocate. The second guide unit 120 is mounted on the mounting base 10 and connected to the second sliding arm 80 to limit and guide the sliding direction of the second sliding arm 80. In other words, the second guide unit 120 serves as a position-limiting guide when the second sliding arm 80 moves. Through the guidance and limitation of the second guide unit 120, the second sliding arm 80 can only move along the guiding direction of the second guide unit 120, thereby ensuring that the second sliding arm 80 accurately moves in the desired direction when the pusher mechanism 100 is in operation.

[0067] The drive motor 20 is used to rotate the crank disk 30, causing the second sliding member 90 to slide within the cam slot 31, thereby driving the second sliding arm 80 to move linearly. As the crank disk 30 rotates, the second sliding member 90 moves along the cam slot 31. As the second sliding member 90 moves to different positions within the cam slot 31 (e.g., a relatively convex position or a relatively concave position), the walls of the cam slot 31 exert force on the second sliding member 90, pushing it outward (or pulling it inward), thereby pushing or pulling the second sliding arm 80. Due to the position restriction of the second guide unit 120, the second sliding arm 80 can only move linearly in the desired direction. Since the blocking block 110 is connected to the second sliding arm 80, it drives the blocking block 110 to move back and forth linearly, achieving continuous blocking of the fixture.

[0068] It is understandable that when feeding the firmware, the feeding is continuous. When the push block 60 pushes the first firmware into the turntable, the second firmware will still be conveyed forward. During the movement of the push block 60, it is easy to cause the subsequent second firmware to move, causing the second firmware to deviate from the predetermined position, thereby affecting the stability of the subsequent feeding. By setting the blocking block 110, when the push block 60 pushes the first firmware, the blocking block 110 can block the front side of the push block 60, thereby blocking the second firmware and preventing the subsequent firmware from being continuously conveyed forward. In this way, during the process of the push block 60 pushing the firmware and the process of the push block 60 resetting, since the subsequent firmware has not entered the feeding position, the push block 60 will not cause the subsequent firmware to deviate, thereby ensuring the stability of the feeding.

[0069] Specifically, in one embodiment, the cam groove 31 is a special-shaped annular structure connected end to end. When the drive motor 20 drives the crank disk 30 to rotate, it only drives continuous rotation in the same direction (for example, the drive motor 20 only drives the crank disk 30 to rotate clockwise). Of course, in other embodiments, the cam groove 31 can also be an arc-shaped cam groove structure with closed ends. When the drive motor 20 is driven, the output shaft rotates forward and reverse, thereby driving the push block 60 and the blocking block 110 to reciprocate. In this embodiment, by configuring the cam groove 31 as an annular structure, the drive motor 20 only needs to drive the crank disk 30 in the same direction, which can make the operation process more stable.

[0070] It is understandable that by synchronously driving the push block 60 and the blocking block 110 through the same driving source, the operating timing of the push block 60 and the blocking block 110 can be more accurately controlled, making the operation more stable.

[0071] Preferably, in one embodiment, the second sliding member 90 is rotatably disposed in the cam groove 31. That is, the second sliding member 90 can rotate on its own. When the second sliding member 90 moves in the cam groove 31, the second sliding member 90 rolls along the groove wall of the cam groove 31 rather than sliding. This can reduce the friction between the second sliding member 90 and the crank plate 30, thereby reducing frictional losses of the components. Specifically, in one embodiment, the second sliding member 90 is a roller mounted on the second sliding arm 80.

[0072] Preferably, in one embodiment, the second guide unit 120 includes a second guide rail 121 and a second guide slider 122. The second guide rail 121 is mounted on the mounting base 10, and the extension direction of the second guide rail 121 is parallel to the radial direction of the crank disk 30. The second guide slider 122 is slidably mounted on the second guide rail 121 and is connected to the second sliding arm 80. When the second sliding member 90 applies force to the second sliding arm 80, due to the guidance restrictions of the second guide rail 121 and the second guide slider 122, the second sliding arm 80 can only reciprocate linearly along a radial direction parallel to the crank disk 30, thereby driving the blocking block 110 to reciprocate along a radial direction parallel to the crank disk 30, thereby blocking the secondary firmware. In other embodiments, the second guide unit 120 may only include a guide rail, with the second sliding arm 80 directly acting as the slider. In other words, the second guide unit 120 only needs to be able to guide the movement of the second sliding arm 80. In this embodiment, the structure of the second guide rail 121 and the second guide slider 122 can directly use existing standard parts, eliminating the need for additional customization of the corresponding structure, which also makes installation easier.

[0073] Preferably, in one embodiment, the first sliding member 50 is mounted on the front side of the crank disk 30, and the cam groove 31 is provided on the back side of the crank disk 30. In other words, the structure for driving the push block 60 and the structure for driving the blocking block 110 are provided on opposite sides of the crank disk 30, thereby avoiding interference between the components.

[0074] Please refer to Figures 7 to 9At the same time, in one embodiment, a firmware conveying device is also provided, which includes a turntable 200, a feed conveying mechanism 300, and the pushing mechanism 100. The turntable 200 has a feed position 201 and a discharge position 202, and a receiving cavity 203 for receiving the firmware 400 is provided in the turntable 200. The discharge port of the feed conveying mechanism 300 is provided corresponding to the feed position 201 of the turntable 200, so as to convey the firmware 400 one by one to the feed position 201 of the turntable 200. The pushing block 60 is provided corresponding to the feed position 201 of the turntable 200, so as to push a single firmware 400 in the feed position 201 of the turntable 200 into the receiving cavity 203. In other words, the feed conveying mechanism 300 is the source of the fixtures 400 of the entire structure. The feed conveying mechanism 300 can continuously convey the fixtures 400 delivered by the upstream equipment to the feed position 201, and the feed conveying mechanism 300 only conveys one fixture 400 to the feed position 201 at a time. The push block 60 is located in the area where the feed position 201 is located, so that the movement of the push block 60 can push the fixtures 400 in the feed position 201 into the accommodating cavity 203, thereby realizing the transfer of a single fixture 400 from the feed conveying mechanism 300 to the turntable 200. The reciprocating movement of the push block 60 can realize the transfer of the fixtures 400 to the turntable 200 one by one.

[0075] Preferably, in one embodiment, the blocking block 110 is located at the front side of the push block 60. The front side here refers to the conveying direction of the feed conveying mechanism 300. When the fixture 400 is conveyed to the feed position 201 via the feed conveying mechanism 300, the fixture 400 must first pass through the area where the blocking block 110 is located before flowing into the feed position 201. The blocking block 110 is used to block the fixture 400 in the feed conveying mechanism 300 when the push block 60 pushes the fixture 400. In other words, when the push block 60 pushes the fixture 400 in the feed position 201 into the accommodating chamber 203, the blocking block 110 can move synchronously, thereby blocking the front side of the push block 60, blocking the fixture 400 in the feed conveying mechanism 300, and preventing the fixture 400 from continuing to move toward the feed position 201.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 9Preferably, in one embodiment, the feed conveying mechanism 300 includes a driving wheel assembly 301, a tensioning wheel assembly 302, a cloth belt 303, a mounting plate 304, and a conveying motor 305. The tensioning wheel assembly 302 is arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the driving wheel assembly 301. The cloth belt 303 is wound around the driving wheel assembly 301 and the tensioning wheel assembly 302 and passes through the mounting plate 304. The conveying motor 305 is connected to the driving wheel assembly 301 to drive the driving wheel assembly 301 to rotate. That is, in this embodiment, the feed conveying mechanism 300 specifically adopts a conveyor belt structure to convey the hardware 400.

[0077] Preferably, in one embodiment, the fabric belt 303 is provided with a plurality of suction holes 3031, arranged sequentially along the length of the fabric belt 303. A negative pressure channel is provided in the mounting plate 304, communicating with the suction holes 3031. The mounting plate 304 is also provided with a suction port 3041, communicating with the negative pressure channel. The suction port 3041 is configured to connect to an external negative pressure device. In other words, in this embodiment, the feed conveyor mechanism 300 employs a suction belt structure. By connecting to an external negative pressure device, negative pressure is generated at the suction holes 3031, thereby stably adsorbing the fixtures 400 onto the fabric belt 303 for conveyance. Compared to the prior art, this embodiment employs a suction belt structure to convey the fixtures 400, which not only improves conveying stability but also reduces the risk of the fixtures 400 becoming stuck or clogged.

[0078] Preferably, in one embodiment, the accommodating cavity 203 is opened on the circumferential surface of the turntable 200, and a plurality of the accommodating cavities 203 are provided, and the plurality of accommodating cavities 203 are sequentially spaced along the circumference of the turntable 200. By providing a plurality of accommodating cavities 203, the transfer efficiency of the firmware 400 can be further improved.

[0079] Preferably, in one embodiment, at least two pushing mechanisms 100 are provided, one pushing mechanism 100 is used to forwardly feed the firmware 400 into the accommodating cavity 203, and the other pushing mechanism 100 is used to reversely feed the firmware 400 into the accommodating cavity 203. Correspondingly, the turntable 200 has at least two feeding positions 201, and at least two feeding conveying mechanisms 300 are provided. That is, the turntable 200 rotates continuously in the same direction, and both pushing mechanisms 100 are used to feed the firmware 400 into the accommodating cavity 203, with the two pushing mechanisms 100 having different feeding positions. After one pushing mechanism 100 feeds the firmware 400, the firmware 400 is distributed in the accommodating cavity 203 in a forward direction (the bottom wall of the firmware 400 is opposite to the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 203); after the other pushing mechanism 100 feeds the firmware 400, the firmware 400 is distributed in the accommodating cavity 203 in a reverse direction (the top wall of the firmware 400 is opposite to the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 203). The terms "forward" and "direction" refer to the relative positional relationship between the firmware 400 and the accommodating cavity 203. This structure allows the turntable 200 to output firmware 400 in two different orientations during discharge.

[0080] Preferably, in one embodiment, only two pushing mechanisms 100 are provided, and the two pushing mechanisms 100 are located at opposite ends of the turntable 200. By arranging the two pushing mechanisms 100 at opposite ends of the turntable 200, interference between components can be better avoided, and the firmware 400 transmitted by the upstream device can be better adapted.

[0081] Specifically, in one embodiment, the end of the blocking block 110 is provided with a blocking arm 111, located above the end of the blocking block 110. When the blocking block 110 blocks the fixture 400, it is specifically the blocking arm 111 that blocks the fixture 400. In other words, in this embodiment, the component of the blocking block 110 that blocks the fixture 400 is only a small portion of the blocking arm 111 at the end, rather than the entire end. This allows the blocking block 110 to move more smoothly to the material blocking position and also better prevents the blocking block 110 from compressing the fixture 400. It is understood that the "water cup" fixture has an overall tapered structure, with one end being wider and the other gradually narrowing. The blocking arm 111 allows the blocking block 110 to extend beyond the narrow end of the first fixture 400 when blocking the fixture 400, without contacting the first fixture 400, thereby preventing any interference with the feeding of the first fixture 400. The blocking arm 111 extending inward can block the wider end of the secondary fixture 400 (such as Figure 8As shown), thereby restricting subsequent firmware 400 from entering the feed position 201.

[0082] Please refer to Figures 10 to 12 At the same time, in one embodiment, a filter rod compounding device 1000 is also provided, which includes the hardware conveying device, the filter rod conveying turntable 500, and the adapter plate 600. The adapter plate 600 is docked with the hardware conveying device and the filter rod conveying turntable 500, respectively, to receive and arrange the hardware 400 and the filter rods.

[0083] Specifically, in one embodiment, the turntable 200 is arranged horizontally to output the fixtures 400 one by one. The filter rod conveyor tray 500 is arranged vertically to output the filter rods one by one. The adapter tray 600 is also arranged vertically. In other words, the filter rod conveyor tray 500 and the adapter tray 600 are both arranged vertically, while the turntable 200 is arranged horizontally. This structure can better utilize the space in the vertical and horizontal directions, making the overall structure more compact and reducing the overall structural layout.

[0084] Along the rotational direction of the adapter disk 600, the adapter disk 600 is sequentially provided with a first docking position 601, a second docking position 602, and an adapter disk discharge position 603. The first docking position 601 is located at the fixture discharge position 101 of the fixture conveying turntable assembly 10. When the corresponding structure on the adapter disk 600 rotates to the first docking position 601, it can correspondingly receive the fixtures 400 discharged from the turntable 200. The second docking position 602 is located at the filter rod discharge position of the filter rod conveying tray 500. When the corresponding structure on the adapter disk 600 rotates to the second docking position 602, it can correspondingly receive the filter rods discharged from the filter rod conveying tray 500. The rotation of the adapter disk 600 also allows the fixtures 400 and filter rods to be conveyed accordingly. When the corresponding structure on the adapter disk 600 rotates to the adapter disk discharge position 603, the arranged fixtures 400 and filter rods can be delivered to subsequent equipment.

[0085] Specifically, in one embodiment, the turntable 200, the filter rod conveying turntable 500, and the adapter plate 600 are all driven by motors.

[0086] Preferably, in one embodiment, the adapter plate 600 includes an adapter plate body 604 and a receiving portion 605 arranged on the periphery of the adapter plate body 604, the adapter plate body 604 is mainly used to connect with the driving structure, thereby driving the adapter plate 600 to rotate through the driving structure, and the receiving portion 605 is mainly used to receive and transport the firmware 400.

[0087] Along the axial direction of the adapter plate body 604, the receiving portion 605 includes a blocking plate 6051 located on the outside and two toggle teeth 6052 located on the inside. The terms "inside" and "outside" refer to the relative positions of the two components, and both are based on the position of the turntable 200. That is, after the adapter plate 600 is installed, the toggle teeth 6052 are located on a side relatively close to the turntable 200, while the blocking plate 6051 is located on a side relatively far away from the turntable 200. The two toggle teeth 6052 are spaced apart from each other along the circumference of the adapter plate body 604 to form a firmware accommodating space 6053 for accommodating the firmware 400. The blocking plate 6051 blocks the outside of the firmware accommodating space 6053 to block the firmware 400. When the adapter plate 600 receives the firmware 400, the firmware 400 falls into the firmware accommodating space 6053 between the two toggle teeth 6052, and the blocking plate 6051 can block the firmware 400 on the outside to prevent the firmware 400 from falling out of the firmware accommodating space 6053 during the transfer process, thereby ensuring that the adapter plate 600 stably receives the firmware 400 into the firmware accommodating space 6053. As the adapter plate 600 rotates, the toggle teeth 6052 can synchronously drive the firmware 400 to move, thereby achieving the receiving and diverting of the firmware 400. Along the circumference of the adapter plate body 604, a plurality of receiving portions 605 are arranged in sequence. By providing a plurality of receiving portions 605, the efficiency of transferring and conveying the firmware 400 can be further improved. Along the circumference of the adapter plate body 604 , a filter rod accommodating space 606 for accommodating a filter rod is formed between two adjacent receiving portions 605 .

[0088] Preferably, in one embodiment, the adapter disc body 604 includes a central portion 6041 and a peripheral portion 6042 arranged on the periphery of the central portion 6041. Along the axial direction of the adapter disc body 604, the peripheral portion 6042 includes an outer disc 6043 located on the outside and an inner disc 6044 located on the inside. And along the axial direction of the adapter disc body 604, the outer disc 6043 and the inner disc 6044 are spaced apart from each other. The toggle teeth 6052 are located on the periphery of the inner disc 6044, and the blocking plate 6051 is located on the periphery of the outer disc 6043. Since the outer disc 6043 and the inner disc 6044 are spaced apart from each other along the axial direction, the blocking plate 6051 and the toggle teeth 6052 are also spaced apart from each other along the axial direction. Through this structure, when receiving the firmware 400, a portion of the firmware 400 can fall into the area between the outer disk 6043 and the inner disk 6044, so as to better prevent the firmware 400 from falling from the inner side of the adapter disk body 604, allowing the adapter disk 600 to transport the firmware 400 more stably.

[0089] It is understandable that due to the small diameter of the "cup" fixture, it is very easy to tip over during the transfer and transportation process. Preferably, in one embodiment, an inclined surface 6045 is provided on the outer periphery of the inner disk 6044 close to the side of the outer disk 6043, and the inclined surface 6045 is tilted inward. The setting of the inclined surface 6045 can guide the fixture 400 and guide the fixture 400 to fall between the outer disk 6043 and the inner disk 6044. At the same time, the inclined surface 6045 can also limit the position of the fixture 400 to a certain extent, so that the position of the fixture 400 is more stable during the transfer and transportation process, and the fixture 400 is prevented from tipping over.

[0090] Preferably, in one embodiment, along the circumference of the adapter tray body 604, the length of the blocking plate 6051 is not less than the distance between the two shifting teeth 6052. In other words, in this embodiment, the blocking plate 6051 can completely block the firmware accommodating space 6053 along the circumference, ensuring comprehensive coverage, thereby further ensuring that the firmware 400 is in a desired position in the adapter tray 600.

[0091] Specifically, in one embodiment, the turntable 200 is directly docked with the adapter tray 600. When the accommodating cavity 203 of the turntable 200 rotates to the discharge position 202, the bottom of the accommodating cavity 203 is suspended in the air, so that the firmware 400 automatically falls into the adapter tray 600. Of course, in other embodiments, a pushing structure can be optionally provided at the discharge position 202 to push the firmware 400 in the accommodating cavity 203 into the adapter tray 600.

[0092] The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that those skilled in the art can make improvements without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, but these improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
