The assembly comprises at least one polishing zone (10) and a hard and smooth continuous belt (18) with high thermal conductivity. A support surface (20) is within the belt (18) loop, with inner heating for the heat to be transferred to the belt (18) and build up a hydrodynamic lubricating liquid film (30) between the support surface (20) and the belt (18). The inner surface of the continuous belt (18) is subjected to a hot gas medium, and especially steam, to give a hydrodynamic lubrication liquid film (30) through the condensation of the medium. The steam is applied to the belt (18) before the support surface (20) in the direction (L) of web travel. The belt heater (28) delivers the hot steam to the belt (18) in controlled zones, across the web width, through a zone-controlled steamer or steam blower box. The support surface (20) is composed of at least one support unit (22), which is cooled at least at the support surface (20) zone to assist the formation of condensation. The support surface (20) has a support unit (22) which is of a high stiffness, and especially as a shoe unit (22). The continuous belt (18) is of metal. The belt (18) travels over at least one belt guide roller (24) and/or at least one tensioning roller (26). A unit (32) to extract the condensation is within the belt (18) loop, after the support surface (20) in the direction (L) of web travel. The condensation extractor has at least one takeoff gutter and preferably a scraper. The extractor (32) has at least one suction extraction unit. The zone within the belt (18) loop is maintained at the prevailing ambient atmospheric pressure. A single hard continuous belt (18) can work with a number of rollers (16) to form a number of polishing zones (10), for the web (14) to be polished on a different side at each polishing zone (10).

Abstract: The guide (14) tip (15) just ahead of the constriction (2) converges towards it and extends transversely over the full conveyor width. One surface of the tip is close to the skin during operation, without exerting pressure on it. Notches in its surface reduce the area of contact with the skin. Preferred features: Guide notches extend along the direction of motion of the skin or diverge along it, being symmetrical about the center of the guide. Crests reducing contact are rounded or plane. The guide is mounted on sliding supports. When the leading edge of the skin rises, it is driven by the textured cylinder, turning it back against the guide (14) which can move. A microswitch detects guide movement, stopping the machine.

Abstract: A load clamp (10) has two selectively openable and
closable opposing clamping assemblies (24, 26), one of
which (24) comprises at least a pair of clamp arms (28,
30) movable separately from each other toward and away
from the other clamping assembly (26) . Separate
actuators (32, 34) for the respective clamp arms are
controlled automatically by a regulator (54) in such a
way that the respective closure movements of the arms
(28, 30) are simultaneous. A selective adjuster assembly
(61) enables the operator to select alternate different
maximum magnitudes of clamping force to be imposed by the
clamp arms (28, 30) on different loads. An override
assembly (67) overrides the regulator (54) to permit
nonsimultaneous clamp arm movement, automatically in
response to resistance to closure by one of the clamp
arms, independently of selective variation of such
adjuster assembly (61). Such independence is achieved by
overriding the regulator (54) automatically in delayed
response to a magnitude of clamping force which is less
than the different maximum magnitudes selectable by the
adjuster assembly (61), the delay in response being
sufficient to enable such different magnitudes to be
attained in accordance with the operator's selection.

Abstract: A filter having a substantially cylindrical or slightly tapered body design which has a plurality of elongated apertures formed therethrough. Each aperture is defined side to side by a pair of elongated, wedge-like rib members disposed one on each side of each aperture, and top to bottom by a pair of cross members which present a substantially square top side and an angularly declining bottom side. The end effect is a substantially rectangular entry aperture for fluid flow with the exception of the declining bottom side which promotes smooth, low resistance entry flow. The present invention is also directed to a method of manufacture of filters having the above-described characteristics. In particular, the preferred method involves an injection molding process in which a molten plastic (such as high-density polyethylene, HDPE) is injected into a two-part mold. The mold generally comprises a smooth, substantially cylindrical cavity and a notched and grooved core which is inserted into the cavity in a partial surface to surface contact relationship to complete the filter mold. Due to the extremely close tolerances required by a such a core and cavity surface to surface relationship, unique mold alignment modifications were also developed.
