Title: Improvements in or relating to a method of and apparatus for extruding elastomeric components
Inventor: JACKSON WILLIAM LEWIS
IPC: B29C35/02
Filed: 1983-02-16
Abstract: A method of and apparatus for extruding an uncured elastomer, e.g. rubber, to produce an elastomeric component, e.g. a tyre tread or sidewall, of predetermined cross- section. The elastomer is fed to an extrusion die 1 for producing an extrudate 2 having the required cross- section of the component and the extrudate 2 is retained in the required cross-section by retaining means 3 until it reaches a stable condition. The retaining means 3 comprises a former 4 and a follower which together define a channel 5 having a cross-section complementary to the extrudate 2. The retaining means 3 may include heating means 9. The former 4 may comprise a drum, or an endless belt following a sinuous path around rollers, and the follower comprises an endless belt. <IMAGE>

Title: Automatic welding system
Inventor: CARTER ALBERT W
IPC: B23K9/095
Filed: 1984-09-13
Abstract: This is concerned with an automatic welding or surfacing system employing a welding or surfacing head containing a component which must be changed from time to time. As an example, in a MIG welding head, a gas shroud and a contact tip may require periodic replacement. A system employing such a head comprises a jig (20) into which the replacement components are loaded and sensing means (22) for checking that the jig is suitably loaded. The components already in the head are retained by clamping means when replacement is required, the head is driven to an unloading station (40,42) and a release means (41) is operated to disconnect the components to be replaced from the head. Thereafter, the head is driven to a loading position relative to the jig and the component or components in the jig are caused to enter the head. The clamping means are then operated to retain such component or components in the head and the head is driven back to its working position. Component replacement may be initiated by a spatter monitor (34), for example, or by a total use calculator (36) or may be under operator control. <IMAGE>

Title: Door/window roller assemblies
Inventor: AARDAL M JOHN
IPC: E05D15/06
Filed: 1985-11-05
Abstract: A roller assembly for a door or window frame is formed in two parts; a mounting plate 40 and a roller unit 41. The mounting plate is used to connect the rails to the jambs via screw threaded holes 47,49 respectively. Roller units comprising a U-shaped carrier 52 and a mounting 55 are then connected to the mounting plates on one rail via interfitting formations 51,58 which becomes the bottom rail of the door/window. This has the advantage that the roller units can be removed without deglazing the door/window, and that the roller units can be readily removed after the glazing and that different top and bottom rails are not necessary. An alternative embodiment (Fig. 1-3 not shown) discloses a mounting plate (10), and a unit comprising a hollow block (11) in which a roller carrier (31) can be adjustably mounted. <IMAGE>

Title: Dissolving tanks, and devices and methods for removing unwanted materials therefrom
Inventor: ZAG HEINZ
IPC: B66C23/06
Filed: 1985-12-17
Abstract: A device for removing a wire clump from a dissolver 50 has a rotatable or movable frame 1,2 with a pivotable jib 3,4, on which a hook 5 is mounted so as to be rotatable and retractable upon a boom 6. The hook 5 resembles a tusk to impale the wire clump. When the hook 5 is rotated about the axis of the boom, as as to trail in the direction of flow in the dissolver, it can be freed of rubbish adhering to it, by the effect of the suspension flow. As a result of an appropriate inclination of the jib 3, 4 or hook 5, the load can be prevented from slipping off the hook. Upon retracting the boom 6, pivoting the jib 3,4 and rotating the frame 2, the hook 5 may be moved from its operative position a to a discard position f, where the load can simply slip off the hook 5. <IMAGE>
