Abstract: A process for fabricating cord-reinforced-rubber structural materials from used tires and a cord-reinforced-rubber structural material. The process includes the following steps for handling and treating the tires: removing the side walls from the tires; removing at least some of the tread material from the tire to provide an essentially uniform tread thickness; cutting the tires in a transverse direction to provide elongated strips of tire material having at least some inherent curvature;  removing at least some of the inherent curvature by compressing the strips to at least about 100 psi and heating the strips to at least 200 degrees F to remove at least some of the inherent curvature; mating the strips with a gum rubber adhesive; and bonding the strips and gum rubber adhesive by compressing them to about 100 psi and heating them to at least 200 degrees F. By removing at least some of the inherent curvature the strips of rubber material are more easily handled during subsequent processing. The structural materials produced typically take the form of boards and planks, but may used for fabricating other structures such as panels, walls, and bulkheads, among other things.

Abstract: An upright vacuum cleaner (A) includes an upright housing section (B) and a nozzle section (C). A cyclonic airflow dirt and dust separating chamber (54) is defined in said upright housing section. A suction source (E) pulls air and entrained dirt, dust, and other contaminants through a main suction opening (26) formed in the underside (24) of the nozzle and into the cyclonic airflow chamber (54). The cyclonic airflow chamber causes the suction airstream to travel in a cyclonic path such that the entrained contaminants are separated therefrom and deposited into a dirt container (52) that defines the chamber (54). A main filter element (K) filters residual contaminants from the suction airstream between the chamber and the suction source. The main filter element is preferably made from high-density polyethylene porous filter media. A final filter assembly (F) filters the suction airstream discharged by the suction source to ensure that the air discharged into the atmosphere is contaminant free, including those contaminants introduced into the airstream by the suction source itself.

Abstract: Associated to the first product of each group (or slug) of products (P) being formed is a first engagement element (70) which follows the movement of advance of said first product, preventing it from falling forwards in the direction of advance. In such conditions, the products (P) are made to advance according to a stacking path that is substantially horizontal, setting them up against the first product, and thus determining the formation of groups (slugs) of products and counting the number of products stacked.      When the number of products stacked reaches the desired value, the last product in the group is engaged by a second engagement element (71) which exerts an action of thrust in a forward direction on the slug of products thus formed, so causing separation thereof from the first product of a new slug being formed in the stacking structure.       The stacking operation is performed on the products (P), which are set on edge after being tipped starting from a previous substantially horizontal position of advance. Preferably, the first retention element (70) and the second retention element (71) are inserted in the flow of the products (P) in a position corresponding to the region (64) in which the aforesaid movement of tipping the products into the on-edge position is performed.      A preferential application is for plants for automatic packaging of products, such as foodstuffs

Abstract: The invention relates to a flying shear comprising at least one drum which is equipped with a blade, whose peripheral speed can be synchronised with the feed rate of the rolling strip and comprising an anvil which is located opposite the drum and optionally a controllable adjusting device allocated to said drum. The flying shear is configured in such a way, that wear is minimised and that extended tolerances are allowed during the production thereof, without impairing the cutting performance.  This is achieved when the blade drum (2) is in the working position, by the retention of a space (8) between the anvil drum (3) and the blade drum (2) which ensures that the rolling strip (4) severs at its weakest point, as a result of the longitudinal forces which are exerted on said rolling strip (4).

Title: Method and apparatus for monitoring and analyzing the surface of floated material
Inventor: NIEMI ANTTI
IPC: B03D1/14
Filed: 2000-05-05
Abstract: At the separation of different minerals from the ores by means of flotation, it belongs to known art to monitor a larger part of the uppermost froth layer in the flotation cell by means of a video camera whose signals are analyzed in a digital computer, in order to detect the structure and color of the froth. The new method and apparatus direct and limit the monitoring and analysis to the surface of the floated material within a fixed, narrow strip which is parallel to the overflow edge of the cell and within which the material surface passing it is homogeneous in the stationary state. The said strip thus presents a renewing sample of the surface at the location in question, which sample represents the stationary state in the average sense. The strip is subjected to homogeneous illumination, which may meet the strip at different angles depending on the primary object, i.e. whether the color or structure is being determined. By means of a repeatedly reading semiconductor line array camera, the image of the strip is formed and converted to electric black/white or multicolor signals from which the structure or color quantities are determined in digital computer. The monitoring and analysis can be directed to both the surface of the froth layer and the surface of the froth slurry flowing down from the overflow edge.
