Patent CA-2143888-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LIPOVAC JOSEPH E
IPC: B32B25/08
Filed: 1995-03-03
Abstract: A method of making a tire having a precisely located applique and optionally scuff ribs to protect the applique.  The applique preferably is applied to a green tire case on a tire building drum and placed in curing mold and cured without disfiguring the applique or obtain substantial rejects or blemishes.  The mold preferably contains grooves to produce scuff ribs in the tire at least under the applique.  This method uses an applique formed of a non-staining film, preferably of an acetate or polyester film or related film, printed with a rubberized ink with the ink printed pattern being adhered to a non-staining compatible rubber backing or gum strips, said strips being essentially virgin rubber free of staining compounds.  The backing is stitched to the green tire case, preferably after being located thereon at the place indicated by lights relative to the center line and then cured in mold having grooves therein to produce specific scuff ribs on tires at least where the applique is located.     Another embodiment of this invention comprises utilization of a special mold having grooves therein to mold scuff ribs in an area where the applique on the green tire case will rest in the mold to yield a cured tire whose applique has scuff ribs or bars molded beneath the surface of the applique to allow part of the applique to be abraded off over the scuff ribs to leave the applique with a pleasing appearance. Also, this invention is useful in marking products with a bar code which is protected from partial abrasion away of the code and still be readable.

Title: Suspension for light duty trucks
Inventor: VOGLER RICHARD G
IPC: B60G11/113
Filed: 1995-08-04
Abstract: A conventional form of vehicle axle suspension comprises on each side of a vehicle a leaf spring pack and a shock absorber system.  A height control system may also be included.  According to this invention the leaf spring pack is replaced by a single leaf spring and a pair of air springs.  The opposite ends of the single leaf spring are shackled to the existing shackle attachments and their vehicle frame mounts.  Midway between its ends the single leaf spring is connected to the adjacent axle end by the existing spring-to-axle attachment components.  In order to compensate for the difference in thicknesses of leaf spring pack and the single leaf spring at their mid-points, a spacer having a vertical thickness equal to the difference in the thicknesses is mounted on top of the single thickness spring at the axle.  Air spring support brackets are symmetrically mounted on the chassis frame member on opposite sides of the axle. The upper end of each air spring is attached to one of the brackets and the lower end of each air spring is attached to the single leaf spring.  Preferably a height control system is provided on each side so as to maintain the chassis at a predetermined level.  Except for the single leaf spring and the spacer, the other components may be of the type used in conventional leaf spring pack suspensions.

Title: Automatic closing device for a shut-off device
Inventor: LEMBSER GERHARD
IPC: F16K31/126
Filed: 1994-07-28
Abstract: In order to limit damages in the event of a fire, the parts of an installation through which combustible gases or liquids flow are equipped with automatically closing shut-off devices. The closing devices of such shut-off devices are essentially characterised in that they are held in the open position by an element that inhibits the closing force. The object of the invention is to create an automatic shut-off device with a simple design that reliably and automatically causes a shut-off device to be closed when unusual temperature rises occur in its surroundings. The closure device has an element for inhibiting the closure force that consists of at least one variable volume hollow body (5) to which a pressure is applied and which has at least one predetermined breaking piece (8). This breaking piece is made of a material whose melting temperature is set at a defined threshold temperature. This closure device may be combined with the most different types of commercially available shut-off devices (2). When the threshold temperature is reached or exceeded, the closing process is triggered in that the material of the predetermined breaking piece (8) melts, pressure escapes at this spot, the closure force becomes effective and causes the shut-off device (2) to be closed.

At standstill, a glue coat (L) is located directly at the closing mechanism. While the free band end is retained, the endless band is retracted until the band loop (5a) surrounds the pack goods (P) with a specific tension.      The closing of the band loop and the severance of the latter then take place. When the circumference of a pack goods item is smaller than that of the largest pack goods item, the excess length (2x) remaining in front of the following glue coat (L) after the band loop has been severed is also banded in as an inner overlap (2x) during the banding of the following pack goods item.
