Patent CA-2445973-A1 (CA)
Title: Device for creating a seal between fabrics or other materials
Inventor: MEAGER BEN MILAM
IPC: A43B23/02
Filed: 2002-04-29
Abstract: A device for creating a seal that includes an upper seal (12), a lower seal (14), and a slider (16), wherein mating surfaces (20, 22) of the upper and lower seals interlock. A lifting rib (46) on the slider (16) cooperates with a lifting wing (24) on the upper seal (12) and a closure bar (48) cooperates with a closure bar groove (32) on the lower seal (14). By moving the slider (16) in one direction, the lifting rib (46) lifts the upper seal from its interlocking relationship with the lower seal. Moving the slider (16) in the opposite direction causes the seals to interlock. Also disclosed is a seal device that includes upper and lower seals and a cooperating slider and plug (104). Each of the slider and plug cooperate with first and second mating surfaces of the two seals. In addition, the slider and plug have an exterior tongue and groove portion (116, 114) that cooperate to interlock the slider and the plug.

Abstract: L'invention vise à déterminer la position d'une cabine d'ascenseur sur rails. A cet effet, le dispositif de détection de position comporte un porteur de code (9) présentant des marques de code de perméabilités différentes, disposé sur le rail de guidage de manière fixe sur le trajet de ladite cabine. Une lecture précise et durable des codes est mise en oeuvre par liaison fixe du porteur de code (9) à un capot amagnétique (15), les marques de code étant recouvertes vers l'extérieur au moyen d'un capot amagnétique (15). Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux, le porteur de code (9) est logé dans une rainure de réception (16) du rail de guidage de cabine (7) avec le capot amagnétique (15) dirigé vers l'extérieur. Ainsi, il est possible de mettre en oeuvre une construction simple et fiable et d'éviter par ailleurs des écarts de dilatation dépendant de la température entre le porteur de code et le rail de guidage.

Title: Seaming of spirally wound paper machine clothing
Inventor: MORIARTY MICHAEL GLENN
IPC: D21F1/10
Filed: 2003-03-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to the seaming of fabrics into endless loops for use as paper machine clothing or as a component therein. A papermaker's fabric is made by spirally winding a woven fabric strip. The fabric strip has first and second lateral edges, along which are a first and second lip, respectively. Each lip has at least one lengthwise yarn woven with crosswise yarns. Adjacent to and inward of the first and second lips on the fabric strip are a first and second gap, respectively, which lack lengthwise yarns but whose crosswise yarns join the lips to the body of the fabric strip. When spirally winding the fabric strip, the first lip is disposed within the second gap, and the second lip is disposed within the first gap, of adjacent turns to form a spirally continuous seam which is closed by attaching adjacent turns to one another.

Filed: 2004-04-01
Abstract: O-ring seals for rock bit bearings comprise a body formed from an elastomeric material having a lubricant additive in at least the dynamic seal surface to reduce the coefficient of friction and stick-slip amplitude at O-ring seal surfaces. The lubricant comprises polarized graphite. O-ring seals made from elastomeric compositions comprise in the range of from about 50 to 99 percent by volume elastomeric material, and in the range of from about 1 to 50 percent by volume of the polarized graphite based on the total volume of the composition. Preferably, the polarized graphite is in the range of from 7 to 25 percent by volume. As the O-ring seal experiences wear from adjacent metal surfaces, flakes of polarized graphite are released from the O-ring seal and adhere to the adjacent metal surfaces and from a lubricating film.
