Title: Process for depositing a protective cobalt-chromium-tungsten coating on a vane composed of a titanium alloy containing vanadium, and vane thus coated
Inventor: COULON ANDRE
IPC: C23C24/08
Filed: 1991-04-11
Abstract: A method of laying a protective coating on a blade (1) made of a titanium alloy including vanadium. Vanadium powder is deposited on the portion of the blade (1) to be coated, the temperature of the powder is then raised to a temperature slightly greater than the melting point of vanadium. A powder of a cobalt-chromium-tungsten alloy is then deposited on the layer of vanadium, and this powder is raised to a temperature greater than its melting temperature and less than the melting temperature of vanadium. A blade made of an alloy of titanium including vanadium is characterized in that the blade includes a coating layer (5) of cobalt-chromium-tungsten alloy at its periphery, said layer being at least 1 mm thick and covering an underlayer of vanadium (6) which has a thickness lying in the range 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm. The resulting blade has very high resistance to abrasion by water droplets.

Title: Marbled floor covering and process for its production
Inventor: GRAAB GERHARD DR
IPC: B29L31/58
Filed: 2000-01-31
Abstract: A rubber moir+E,acu e+EE  floor covering is disclosed. The covering is produced by continuously feeding a screw-type short extruding machine having a length/diameter ratio of 6:1 with two or three varicolored strips of vulcanizable elastomeric material. The operating temperature is between 60 DEG  C. to 100 DEG  C. The elastomeric material leaves the extruder via a perforated disk having 200 to 600 cylindrical bore holes 3-5 mm in diameter. Each of the resulting strands is severed to produce segments that are 1 to 2 mm thick, the formed pieces are then cooled off on a section 4 meters to 6 meters long. Subsequently, the formed pieces are allowed to fall into the roll nip of a temperature controllable two-bowl calendar. The web of material leaving the calendar is fed to a continuous vulcanization installation and leaves it as finished floor covering. The material throughput rate in this continuous process may be varied from 700 kg/h up to 1300 kg/h.

Abstract: The invention provides a mould for use in the injection moulding of a closure (10) from a synthetic plastics material. Such a closure (10) is suitable for a container having an externally screw-threaded neck and comprising a top (15) and a depending skirt (16) which has on its internal surface a screw-thread complementary to the screw-thread on the container. A free edge of the depending skirt is joined by a plurality of frangible bridges (13) to a tamper-evident band (11) which comprises a generally cylindrical body portion and a continuous or segmented rib (18). The rib extends inwardly of the body portion and is adapted to provide a lip to engage under a retaining flange extending outwardly from the neck of the container below the screw-thread thereon. The rib (18) has an upper side facing generally towards the top of the closure and an under side facing generally away from the top. The mould defines the upper side of the rib (18) as comprising a first surface contiguous with the body portion of the band, which surface slopes inwardly and downwardly from the top portion (15), and a second surface which is positioned radially inwardly from the first surface, the second surface having a slope angle more nearly normal to the longitudinal axis of the closure than the first surface is to that longitudinal axis. The mould is capable of being operated at extremely high rates to produce closures with improved resistance to removal from the container. <IMAGE>
