Granted: 1993-04-20
Abstract: ABSTRACT            Disclosed is a method and machine for the automatic transfer of pantyhose and similar manufactured articles from a toe-sewing machine of carrousel type with a vertical axis to a drawing machine of the type having a pair of vertical fixed shapes.  One section of the machine includes a mechanism for gripping the elastic edge of a pantyhose in the loading station of the sewing machine.  In order to transfer the elastic edge out of the sewing machine, overturn the edge and keep the panty-hose in a pendent and overturned attitude.  Another mechanism is provided for picking up the elastic edge of the pantyhose from the first mentioned mechanism while stretching it in the form of a rectangle and transferring the pantyhose in pendent attitude to a predetermined position relative to the shapes of the drawing machine.  A transfer device is provided for transferring the pantyhose onto the drawing machine by fitting the legs of the pantyhose articles on the relevant shapes.  In case of stopping of the toe-sewing machine, the drawing machine is fed normally through intermediate devices which are manually loaded with pantyhose articles, and in case of stopping of the drawing machine, the sewing machine can unload the pantyhose articles into a provisional store.  The machine of the present invention is also suitable for transferring stockings and socks from the same toe-sewing machine to the same drawing machine.

Title: Gas-cooled flameholder assembly
Inventor: ABREU MARIO E
IPC: F23R3/18
Filed: 1988-10-27
Granted: 1993-06-29
Abstract: GAS-COOLED FLAMEHOLDER ASSEMBLY              ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE     The   uprating   of   existing   jet   engines increases  the  operating  temperatures within the engines  and  also  increases  the  tendency  for flashback  in  some  afterburner  type  engines.          Afterburner  type  engines  include  a  pilot  fuel delivery pipe which is included between inner and outer   annular   members   of   a   flameholder.          Downstream from the pilot,  partitions direct an ignited  fuel/air  mixture  into  the  afterburner chamber.   The  afterburner  flame  is  downstream from  the  flameholder,  but  under  conditions  of increased temperature the afterburner flame will tend to migrate upstream toward the flameholder.          To avoid this tendency, the flameholder includes means  for  discharging  gas  which  cools  the flameholder  metal  itself  while  also decreasing the   downstream   air    temperature,    thereby decreasing the potential for flashback.   In one embodiment,  fuel  and  a depleted oxygen  turbine discharge gas  are used to further decrease the tendency toward flashback.

Title: Method for coating natural nails and applying artificial nails to natural fingernails
Inventor: REPENSEK WILLIAM G
IPC: A45D31/00
Filed: 1988-12-20
Granted: 1993-09-07
Abstract: ABSTRACT     This invention presents improved processes for applying artificial nails to natural fingernails and for applying durable protective coatings to the surface of natural nails.          The improvements comprise applying a viscous cyanoacrylate adhesive to the nail surface and subsequently spreading the adhesive over the natural or combined artificial/natural nail surface using a solvent mixture containing a solvent capable of dissolving the adhesive and an effective amount of cyanoacrylate polymerization initiator.  The use of this mixture permits easy spreading of the adhesive over the surface and causes polymerization of the cyanoacrylate on the surface.  The result is a smooth coating over the entire surface to which polish can be applied.
