Abstract: A method and apparatus for making a composite component by transverse tape winding. For making a non-­cylindrical composite component such as a nozzle, a longitudinal winding of at least one fiber strand (14) impregnated with resin is applied onto a generally cylindrical mandrel (10) at a predetermined angle (18a) relative to a line parallel to the mandrel rotational axis (12). A transverse tape (28) is then spirally cut from the layer (26) thus formed and wound onto a component mandrel (42). The wound transverse tape is then compacted and cured and the mandrel removed. A nozzle exit cone is also disclosed made from such transverse tape so that the fiber strand portions are short enough that they do not follow the curvature of the nozzle and thereby peel. The windings are shingled onto the nozzle exit cone so that only one end of each of the fiber strand portions is exposed to the nozzle surface.

Abstract: A promotional game particularly adapted for use in connection with packaged food products, the game including a game board (11) preferably printed on the product container and one or more game cards., The game board (11) has imprinted on it a first set of game indicia (12) which is common to all packages (10) utilized in the promotion. The game card consists of a transparent film laminate on which is imprinted a second set of game indicia, which will vary from card to card. The card consists of a film laminate including a transparent core layer of biaxially oriented polymeric film on which is printed the second set of game indicia, which is then coated with adhesive, and laminated with a layer of transparent, grease and oil resistant, polymeric film. The game is played by removing the card or cards from the package and placing it in overlying register with the game board to determine whether that combination is a game winner.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for continuous direct strand reduction of flat metallic products, in particular made from steel, by pouring the molten metal into a continuous casting mould, drawing off the strand, partially solidified over the casting cross-section, by means of pairs of rollers, and shaping the strand at least in the region of its solidified portion. In order to provide a method with which, using the currently existing continuous casting installation, a product can be made available having a high proportion of rolled grains and which can be coiled with the thickness dimension leaving the casting installation, it is proposed that a flat product having a thickness of 50 to 100 mm is produced in the continuous casting mould, the flat product produced in this way is reduced in thickness, within the solidification portion, at least 10% to 70%, and a further reduction of the thickness by at least 30% is carried out by means of the pair of rollers in the thoroughly solidified region of the flat product.
