Title: Spindle disc for high speed can decorators
Inventor: WILLIAMS ROBERT
IPC: B65G47/86
Filed: 1998-06-02
Granted: 2000-12-07
Abstract: A mandrel/spindle disc for a continuous motion can decorator includes a plurality of relatively lightweight mandrel assemblies mounted on a rotating carrier with equal angular spacings between adjacent assemblies. The assemblies reciprocate radially with respect to the carrier axis as a center. Each assembly includes a base and two guide rods that extend radially inward from the base and are received by sleeve bushings that are disposed in radial holes extending inward from the carrier periphery. A plurality of relatively small grease pools are formed by small transverse holes, each of which extend forward from the rear of the carrier disc to engage the inner ends of four bushing holes. Vacuum and air pressure are fed to each mandrel assembly through a flexible hose having a large loop therein. The base of the assembly is made compact so that when decorations are being applied to a particular can the mandrel supporting that particular can moves relatively close to the radially outward end of the bushings thereby reducing bending moments acting between the assembly guide shafts and their bushings. These bushings extend radially outward of the carrier periphery, being received by undercuts in washer-like retainers that are piloted on the bushings to help position sealing rings that are mounted under the inside of the retainers.

Filed: 1991-09-03
Granted: 1994-02-24
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/CH91/00190 Sec. 371 Date May 11, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date May 11, 1992 PCT Filed Sep. 3, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO92/05303 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 2, 1992.The device serves to manipulate the healds or drop wires from their separation from a stack via the drawing-in of the warp threads up to the transfer to supporting members provided for arranging in a weaving machine and it contains holding devices for accepting the separated healds or drop wires and for positively transporting them to a drawing-in station and a transfer station, positioning elements arranged in the area of the drawing-in station, and transfer devices, arranged in the area of the transfer station, for transferring the healds or drop wires having a drawn-in warp thread to the supporting members. Consequently, only a single type of manipulating arrangement is required for manipulating the healds and drop wires from their separation up to the transfer to the supporting members. That results in a substantial reduction in potential sources of error and thus in the susceptibility to trouble. In addition, only two interfaces are necessary: one leading to the separating station and one at the transfer station leading to the supporting members.

Patent IE-S63990-B2 (IE)
Title: A low fat spread
Inventor: MAGUIRE JOHN
IPC: A23D7/00
Filed: 1994-12-21
Abstract: A relatively low fat spread which has a relatively low stabiliser content is prepared using a margarine process from a fat phase which includes a fat liquid at room temperature and a fat firm at room temperature and an aqueous phase. The aqueous phase is dispersed in the fat phase to form a water-in-oil emulsion which is subsequently pasteurised and cooled to a temperature of approximately 10°C to 14°C. The water-in-oil emulsion is then subjected to vigorous shearing in a high speed pin mixer at a mixer speed of approximately 700 rpm for a period of 13 secs. prior to packaging. By subjecting the water-in-oil emulsion to vigorous shearing, it has been found that the spread can be stabilised with a significantly lower level of stabiliser than is required for relatively low fat spreads known heretofore.
