Title: Gas Burners
IPC: F23D14/04
Filed: 1980-10-16
Abstract: A gas burner is formed by connecting together a plurality of blade members (11) each of which is formed by the folding of a blank pressed from a sheet of material. Each blade member (11) has a pair of extruded openings which align with one another after folding of the blank, each of the openings having a lip (30, 32) and the lips being of different dimensions, such that the lip (30) of one blade member can fit within the lip (32) of an adjacent blade member. In this way the blade members (11) are mounted together and define an integral mixing chamber for gas and air. The upper edge of each blade member (11) is formed with an outlet aperture arrangement (20, 22) and the other edges of the blade member are sealed together. To complete the burner, a cap is mounted over the outwardly extending lip of the blade member at one end, while a gas inlet pipe is mounted adjacent to the outwardly facing opening of the blade member at the other end. <IMAGE>

Title: Abrading surfaces by blasting
IPC: B24C3/06
Filed: 1981-06-01
Abstract: A method of and apparatus for abrading a surface in which abrasive particles are projected at high velocity against the surface to be treated and in which the difficulty of separating dirt or other material particularly bitumastic, adhesive and chlorinated rubber compounds from the particle for recirculation to be used again, is effectively overcome by applying a cooling medium such as a cryogenic fluid 17 (e.g. liquid nitrogen) to keep the temperature of the removed dirt and/or particles rebounded from the surface at a value such that some or most of the dirt can be separated from the particles. The cooling medium is applied to the surface via a forward hood in advance of the machine as it moves over the surface and/or into a flow of air drawn into the machine from behind the blast area 3 to assist the passage of rebounding particles and removed dirt along the recirculation path to the separator. <IMAGE>

Title: Process and appliance for the production of embossed stamp-matrices
Inventor: HOLL RUPERT
IPC: B41J3/38
Filed: 1983-04-20
Abstract: Object of the invention is a process and an appliance for the production of embossed stamp matrices. A considerable saving of time and simplification e.g. in the administration can be achieved, if it is possible to produce stamp matrices quick and simple by embossing. To achieve this a process and an appliance are discribed, whereby an embossable, preferably self adhesive tape is embossed with an embossing stencil (role). To achieve a good moistening with stamp-ink the surface of the tape is roughened up before or after embossing e.g. by attacking or by coating. The embossing stencil (role) is characterized by mirror written types, standing on the head (that means turned by 180 DEG ). The embossing could be made e.g. with hand embossing apparatus (press) after a change of the role (stencil) and possibly of the tape as well (respectively without a change of the tape).
