Abstract: To reduce the lateral dimension of a power unit by positioning an oil level gauge laterally inside, thereby making the power unit compact. A power unit P includes a hydraulic continuously variable transmission CVT, a transmission housing HSG for accommodating the hydraulic continuously variable transmission CVT, and an oil level gauge for checking an oil level in the housing HSG. The hydraulic continuously variable transmission CVT is configured by coaxially rotatably providing a fixed displacement type swash plate plunger pump P and a variable displacement type swash plate plunger motor M and connecting the plunger pump P and the plunger motor M through a hydraulic closed circuit. The outer circumference of a portion of a pump casing of the plunger pump P for supporting a pump swash plate member is reduced in diameter to form a reduced diameter portion. The oil level gauge is positioned so that a gauge portion extends near the outer circumference of the reduced diameter portion down to the bottom of the transmission housing HSG.

Abstract: The push-plate of the attachment is guided on left and right pairs of proximal and distal arms. The proximal arms are pivoted at support pivots to the support plate, and the distal arms are pivoted at distal pivots to the push-plate. The proximal arms are pivoted to the distal arms at knee pivots. All three left pivots are parallel to each other, and all three right pivots are parallel to each other. The left pivots all lie at an angle PA to the right pivots. The angle PA is between 80° and 130°. The arrangement is simple and robust, and enables the push-plate to be guided very solidly, over an accurately-straight line path of the push- plate, with no stresses and strains imposed on the pivots by the geometry of the motion.

Title: Airless spray pump system and method for spraying a binder solution with suspended particles
Inventor: RIOUX LAURIER
IPC: B05C19/04
Filed: 2005-09-22
Granted: 2012-05-01
Abstract: An airless spray pump system and method for spraying a binder solution having suspended particles which are non-abrasive for coating a product therewith is described. A reservoir contains a supply of the binder solution and is continuously mixed to maintain the solution in a homogeneous state. An inlet check valve is connected to the reservoir and the check valve has an outlet port which is connected to a pump. The check valve is operated by an upstroke of a piston of the pump to draw a volume of a solution through the check valve and into the pump while the pump supplies, under high pressure, a solution in a transfer chamber thereof to a pressure control unit of a spray apparatus. When the piston of the pump is in a return stroke, it forces the check valve to close under pressure and simultaneously operates a transfer check valve of the pump to open to transfer solution into the transfer chamber and forces a portion of the solution to the pressure control unit. When the solution is displaced through the inlet check valve and the transfer check valve of the pump, it causes a washing action of the parts in contact with the solution to prevent particles in the solution from sticking or settling down on these parts.

Abstract: An arrangement for molding a front or back polystyrene mold half which is used, with a second complementary back or front mold half, for subsequent molding of a soft contact lens such as a hydrogel soft contact lens. The arrangement is designed with heat flow considerations in mind to minimize the molding cycle time, while producing uniformly precise and accurate optical quality mold halves. Each mold half defines a convex curved surface and a concave curved surface spaced therefrom, with one of the surfaces defining an optical quality curved surface for the soft contact lens. A heated molding machine introduces molten polystyrene through a hot runner system to a plurality of mold cavities, each of which defines an optical quality curved surface and also a second noncritical surface. The optical quality surface of the mold cavity is positioned further away from the heated hot runner side of the mold than the second surface, which allows faster cooling of the optical quality surface of the mold cavity. This allows quicker setting and locking of minimal temperature residual stresses on the optical quality side of the mold half and a faster molding cycle time. Each mold cavity has a first insert on the optical quality side of the mold cavity and a second insert on the second side. Each of the first and second inserts has a circumferential cooling passageway defined therearound or in proximity for the first inserts, and also includes a bubbler positioned internally therein. Coolant is circulated in a turbulent mode through the circumferential passageways 1 and also through the bubblers against inner surfaces of the insert to provide rapid cooling of the mold cavity.
