Date Oct. 31, 1991.A method and apparatus for splicing at least two single or multiple layer materials of air permeable soft paper webs while retaining web tension during operation. The apparatus includes a first suction chamber for retaining an end portion of a new web in trailing engagement against a first web, which is to be spliced, a second suction chamber over which moves the first web, which is to be spliced, as well as the forward end portion of the new web for splicing, a regulatable vacuum system for the suction chambers, an embossing nip placed downstream of the second suction chamber for bonding together the webs kept together with the aid of controlled air passage through them, and a cutting means for cutting off the moving web. Splicing takes place by vacuum in both suction chambers arranged at the webs for entraining the end portion of the new web to the first web which is to be spliced in the embossing nip, where bonding of both material webs takes place such as to form a reliable splice, subsequent to which the moving web is cut off for completing the splicing operation.

Abstract: The heat sealing wire (26) of an impulse heat sealer (10) is held against an operating face of a support bar by an insulating fabric (34) which is draped over the wire and secured in a slot (24) formed in the support bar (18). The securing drape of fabric allows unrestricted expansion and contraction of the hot wire. Also if the slot lies in a curved plane which extends perpendicular to the plane of the support bar operating face, the drape of insulating fabric and consequently the sealing wire follow the same curve so the heat sealer can make seals of a non-linear configuration.

Abstract: The device for detecting labels (21) which serve to protect goods (20) against theft and which are provided with an electric resonant circuit with a resonant frequency in the MHz range comprises a plurality of pairs of transmitting and receiving antennas (8-13) which in each case delimit passages (5-7) which are to be kept under surveillance. Electromagnetic waves whose frequency is swept in sweep cycles beyond the pre-defined resonant frequency of the labels are in each case radiated by the transmitting antennas (8, 10, 12) of the pairs. The sweep cycles of all pairs are synchronised with one another. A receiving circuit (17-19) which detects the presence of a label is connected to the receiving antenna (9, 11, 13) of each pair. To simplify installation, it is proposed according to the invention that the RF oscillations radiated via the transmitting antennas as electromagnetic waves are generated by decentralised RF generators (14-16) in each case individually assigned to the transmitting antennas and that the sweep cycles are synchronised with one another using a synchronisation signal with at least one frequency in the LW range which is generated in a central unit (22) and fed to the RF generators. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A fire-retardant flat-pressed panel of per se combustible panel material, binder, flame protection agent and possibly auxiliary substances contains as the flame protection agent a combination of a substance capable of releasing an acid, especially an inorganic acid, at high temperatures, a carbon-containing substance with esterifiable hydroxyl groups and a substance which can release a non-combustible gas at high temperatures. The response temperatures of the first and last-mentioned substances are above the temperatures needed for making the flat-pressed panel. The flame protection agent has low water solubility and is mixed into the panel material in finely divided form. The flat-pressed panel is preferably a panel made using wood-containing substances, especially wood shavings.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a cellulosic fibrous structure having multiple regions distinguished from one another by basis weight. The structure is a paper having an essentially continuous high basis weight network, and discrete regions of low basis weight which circumscribe discrete regions of intermediate basis weight. The cellulosic fibers forming the low basis weight regions may be radially oriented relative to the centers of the regions. The paper may be formed by using a forming belt having zones with different flow resistances. The basis weight of a region of the paper is generally inversely proportional to the flow resistance of the zone of the forming belt, upon which such region was formed. The zones of different flow resistances provide for selectively draining a liquid carrier having suspended cellulosic fibers through the different zones of the forming belt.

Abstract: Precise cutting of pattern strips and pattern pieces from lace and similar patterned fabrics requires correct mutual positioning of the fabric and fabric cutter for precise alignment with the boundary of the pattern pre-existing on the fabric. Patterned fabrics and especially loosely-woven lace are liable to randomly variable stretching and slippage which makes it impossible to cut under the direction of an externally imposed pattern programme without regard to the instantaneous location of the pattern pre-existing on the fabric. The invention comprises lace-cutting apparatus (100) and a lace-cutting method including optical scanning (180) of the lace (118), recognition of the pattern boundary (126, 128), and mutual alignment of the fabric with the fabric cutter (132) to trace the intended cut line (130). Different techniques for mutual movement of the fabric and cutter are employed according to whether the pattern boundary is re-entrant or not. Preferred forms of fabric cutter include a hot-wire cutter (132) and a laser beam cutter. The invention enables automatic high-speed cutting and trimming of lace and similar patterned fabrics.
