Abstract: CUP LABELING METHOD AND APPARATUS                      ABSTRACT    A method and apparatus is disclosed for the labeling of soft-surfaced disposable cups--particularly those having a tapered or frustum shape--with a thin paper label (32) which provides decoration and structural rigidity to the cup.  The label is cut between a die roller (30) and anvil roller (31) from a web (28) of paper having a coating of heat activable adhesive on one side, and the cut label (32) is laid on the rotating surface (37) of a vacuum drum (36).  Vacuum ports (113) in the anvil roller (31) and ports (157) in the vacuum drum hold the label on the surfaces of the roller and drum during rotation.  The label is heated while on the rotating vacuum drum (36) to activate the adhesive, and an indexer plate (42), having a plurality of cup holding mandrels (41), indexes a mandrel (41) holding a cup (46) into a position in which the rotated cup contacts the heated label and draws it off of the surface of the vacuum drum.  The surface speed of the cup may be higher of that of the moving labels so that labels having the shape of a annulus sector will be drawn off of the drum surface onto the cup surface in proper alignment.  Unlabeled cups are simultaneously provided to another mandrel (41) on the indexer plate (42) while a labeled cup is ejected from another mandrel.  Thin labels having annulus sector shapes may be applied to tapered cups in this manner at high production speeds.

Abstract: ABSTRACT           A hydraulic tensioning device for maintaining a prede-termined amount of tensioning force on an endless drive belt of a vehicle accessories drive system.  A housing is mounted in a fixed position on the engine in close proximity to the drive belt.  A shaft is movably mounted within the housing by an elas-tomer block which biases the shaft in a belt tensioning rotational direction.  A lever extends outwardly from the housing and is integrally connected to the shaft for pivotal movement upon rota-tion of the shaft.  An expandable bladder or actuator is mounted in the housing and is engageable with the shaft and pivots the rotor and lever toward a belt tensioning direction when the bladder is expanded by hydraulic fluid.  A hydraulic fluid supply and pump assembly supplies fluid under pressure to inflate the bladder. An idler pulley drivingly engages the fluid pump and is driven by the endless drive belt for actuating the pump. The elastomer block applies a pretensioning force on the drive belt with the hydraulically inflatable bladder supplying the major portion of the tensioning force when the vehicle engine is running.  In one form of the invention, the fluid supply and pump assembly is mounted in the housing and the lever either moves a pivotally mounted vehicle accessory or moves an idler pulley into belt engagement to tension the belt.  In another embodiment, the fluid supply and pump assembly is mounted on the extended end of the lever in engagement with an idler pulley which both tension the belt and drives the fluid pump with the elastomer block, bladder and shaft being mounted in a fixed position on the engine.

Abstract: ABSTRACT    Cellular steel flooring is provided which includes corrugated steel decking and separately applied cover plates which establish a lengthwise cell in cooperation with a valley and the two connecting sloping sidewalls.          The resulting cellular steel decking permits distribution of electrical wiring or ventilation air throughout a building without requiring perforations or penetrations of the crest surfaces or sloping sidewall surfaces of the decking.  The resulting wet strength of the cellular steel decking remains undiminished.  The exposed corrugated undersurface of the corrugated steel decking provides an improved adhesion surface for subsequently applied fire-proofing materials.  Special cover plates for noncellular troughs are provided along the locus of transverse electrical trench structures to facilitate the mounting of the electrical trench and to permit strengthening concrete to be applied beneath the electrical trench.

Abstract: LATCHING MECHANISM FOR PANELS                 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE           A latching device to connect two adjacent members (i.e. truck panels) is provided.  The latching device is comprised of two parts, a movable latching member and a receiving member, each attached to adjacent panels.  The movable latching member is com-prised of a plate, a retaining bracket, a latch rod and a spring.          The latch rod has a ring fixedly attached thereto and is rotatably and slidably received within the retaining bracket, which is in turn attached to the plate.  The spring circumferentially surrounds a portion of the latch rod and has its ends abutting the bracket and the ring thereby biasing the rod toward its retaining position.  The receiving means is connected to a second panel and has a slot therein.  The latch rod has an engaging end which is received within the slot and firmly engages the slot.  The engaging end has a cam surface which acts to pull the latch rod further within the receiving member, against the bias of the spring, when the latch rod is rotated in a selected direction (and vice versa if the latch rod is rotated in the opposite direction). This arrangement reduces the relative movement between the two panels and, thus, reduces the vibratory noises generated by the panels.

Abstract: ABSTRACT           The present invention is a large scintillator array multiplexing apparatus and method in which individual scintil-lators are coupled to fluorescent optical converters that absorb the light emitted by the scintillators and emit at longer wave-lengths.  Loss of light is minimized by maximizing total internal reflection of the longer wavelength emissions by the use of reflectors and mirrors.  The wavelength-shifted radiation is conducted to electro-optic detectors which, when activated, directly encode the location of the scintillator that has been excited by ionizing radiation.  Using this method, scintillator arrays consisting of thousands of individual scintillators can be built without undue complexity or cost and the resolution of the imaging system can be enhanced beyond the range possible using prior art methods.

Abstract: ABSTRACT            A flexible gravure sleeve.              A flexible thinwalled sleeve for gravure printing is provided, which, going from inside to outside, essentially consists of 1) a slightly conical layer of nickel to provide mechanical strength, 2) a layer of copper, having the structure of high-gloss copper and which is essentially free of internal stresses, said layer having a cylindrical outer surface, 3) a thin, cylindrical layer of hard copper having a structure suitable for electronic engraving and having a gravure pattern on its outer surface, and if desired, 4) a thin protective layer of chrome.          These layers are all firmly adhered to each other and especially the two layers of copper cannot be separated by peeling off.Since a high-gloss copper layer, which is free of internal stresses, has been found unsuitable for electronic engraving, and since the layer of hard copper, suitable for electronic engraving, has been found to have internal stresses, which would be unacceptable in the first layer of copper, the two layers must necessarily be different.

Abstract: PROCESS FOR BARRIER COATING POLYETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE CONTAINERS WITH A COPOLYMER          OF VINYLIDENE CHLORIDE               Abstract of the Disclosure A process for providing polyethylene terephthalate containers with a gas-impermeable coating of a copolymer of vinylidene chloride is disclosed.  The process includes locating the container to be coated in close proximity to one or more airless spray nozzles and impacting the outside surface of the container with an atomized spray of an aqueous polyvinylidene chloride dispersion from the nozzles.  The impacting force of the polyvinylidene chloride dispersion on the surface of the containers is sufficient to initiate uniform coalescence of the copolymer on the surface of the container to form a uniform coating thereon.  The coating on the container is then dried in a controlled atmosphere to remove the water from the coating without distorting the container. The dried coating is smooth, uniform and uniformly transparent.  In operation, the overspray can be collected and  returned to achieve greater than 95% material efficiency.  The process can be carried out in a continuous manner to provide a continuously moving series of containers with a uniformly transparent, gas-impermeable polyvinylidene chloride coating at production rates suitable for commercial applications.
