Title: Method and device for actuating a press
Inventor: MEIDAN DANIEL
IPC: B29C45/12
Filed: 1999-05-28
Abstract: A tandem press has a moving frame comprising a moving platen moving in a reciprocating motion between stationary outer platens, between a first clamping position in which the moving platen clamps a first mold mounted on one side of the press, and a second clamping position in which the moving platen clamps a second mold on the other side of the press. The tandem press of the invention thus provides two complete clamping cycles within one press cycle. In the preferred embodiment the hydraulic pistons actuating the moving platen also serve as guide bars for maintaining the moving platen in alignment with the stationary platens. In the preferred embodiment the actuating cylinders are small bore diameter high speed cylinders, and the moving platen is provided with larger bore diameter hydraulic clamping cylinders to apply the required clamping force to the mold after the actuating cylinders have moved the moving platen to the clamping position.

Title: Face finished fabrics exhibiting non-directional surface characteristics after dyeing in open-width form
Inventor: EFIRD SCOTT W
IPC: D06C11/00
Filed: 2001-03-23
Abstract: Range-dyed fabrics that possess excellent hand characteristics and simultaneously exhibit substantially nondirectional appearances are provided. Such a combination permits the production and utilization of an extremely comfortable apparel fabric that can be attached to any other similar type of fabric to form a target apparel article without the time-consuming need to align such component fabrics to ensure an overall aesthetic appearance is met for the target apparel article. In general, such a fabric is produced through the initial immobilization of individual fibers within target fabrics and subsequent treatment through abrasion, sanding, or sueding of at least a portion of the target fabric. Such a procedure produces a fabric of short pile height and desirable hand. Upon range-dyeing the target fabric exhibits the extra benefit of nondirectional surface characteristics. The ability to produce such specific fabrics without the need for jet-dyeing thus provides a significant cost advantage to the manufacturer and consumer.

Title: Air compressor assembly with bearing pocket
Inventor: MONTGOMERY KEVIN
IPC: F04B39/06
Filed: 2001-06-11
Abstract: An apparatus includes an air compressor containing a piston in a cylinder, a flywheel having an axis of rotation, and an elongated linkage structure interconnecting the flywheel with the piston. A support member projects from the flywheel. A bearing supports the linkage structure on the support member.
