Title: A target pigeon and a method of launching such a target pigeon
Inventor: RINGTVED SVEND-ERIK
IPC: F41J9/16
Filed: 2001-09-27
Abstract: The invention comprises a target pigeon of the type which is used in sport shooting such as trap shooting, and which is fired in such a manner that the propeller-shaped wings of the target pigeon move it in an unpredictable trajectory. The invention moreover comprises a method of launching target pigeons. An object of the present invention is to provide a target pigeon which has a very low effective height when it is stacked. Another object is to provide a target pigeon and a method of launching the target pigeon, where it is not necessary to orient the pigeon relative to the retaining and force-transferring means on the launching machine. The novel aspects of the invention comprise interconnecting the wing part and the witness part structurally, and applying energy for launching via the witness part , thereby ensuring that the witness part can impart both strength and rigidity to the target pigeon, which may be used for a saving on the wing part so that the total costs are reduced. When energy for launching is applied via the witness part it is moreover ensured that there is no need for parts of the wing part to be present around the centre of the target pigeon, but instead only parts of the witness part . This makes it easier to see the witness part from all angles and minimizes the shade effect of the wing part, just as the effective height for stacking is made as low as possible.

Patent NZ-538463-A (NZ)
Title: Anti-rewet press fabric having a layer with tapered inclusions
Inventor: HANSEN ROBERT A
IPC: D21F7/08
Filed: 2003-09-12
Abstract: An anti-rewet press fabric 10 for paper and board machines is disclosed. The fabric includes a barrier layer 27 so that during compression in the press nip 22, 23 of the machine the water is forced through the barrier layer but is prevented from flowing back to the paper web 24 during expansion. The barrier layer is a continuous material with inclusions 30 having smaller openings on the bottom than on the top of the structure. Each of these inclusions effectively constitutes a one-way valve and creates a vacuum to prevent re-absorption of water by the paper sheet. Under pressure, the structure of the barrier layer allows water to flow into the inclusions and out of the smaller opening in the bottom. Upon expansion, the smaller opening in the bottom of the structure restricts backward water flow and creates a vacuum on the other side. The vacuum increases water retention in the press fabric and prevents rewetting of the paper sheet 24. Another embodiment of the invention is described where the barrier layer exists as a separate fabric fed through a press section.
