Title: Method and device for automatically transferring garments to folding devices and hangers
IPC: B65G47/61
Filed: 1988-07-26
Granted: 1993-03-31
Abstract: The invention concerns a process and a device for automatic transfer of garments (3) to automatic folding machines (2), a conveyor coathanger (8) and a tow hook (11), specifically designed for this purpose, a device (25) for removing the coathangers and a device (38) for transferring the coathangers. The garments (3) are conveyed on a conveyor section (6) and are placed and held on the inclined work surface (4) of the automatic folding machine (2). In order to remove the supporting coathangers (8), the latter are displaced over a corresponding inclined section (10) of the conveyor device (1) in the direction of slope of the work surface. The conveyor coathanger (8) has arms (13) with closed ends designed as expanding springs. The expanding springs have a dead centre position beyond which they open or close automatically, depending on the direction of movement. The device (25) for removing the coathangers, in co-operation with the tow hook (11), ensures reliable removal and opening of the empty coathangers. The device (38) for transferring the coathangers takes the loaded coathangers (8) from a conveyor section and turns them until they reach a suitable position for folding.

Filed: 1988-10-07
Granted: 1993-09-08
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for removing and recovering organic substances, primarily solvents, from industrial ventilation air contaminated with such substances.

Title: Process and apparatus for treating organic sludge
IPC: C02F1/46
Filed: 1989-11-02
Granted: 1992-03-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a process and apparatus for treating organic sludges, in particular liquid manure, with at least one electrode located in the liquid manure and at least one counter electrode, by applying a direct voltage source, a migration of ions in the liquid manure being excited by the use of any desired electrodes. The invention is based on the object of achieving a marked improvement in the homogeneity of the liquid manure within the shortest possible time at the end of intermediate storage periods inherent in the process. In process engineering terms, this object is achieved when a constant base voltage is built up and maintained in the liquid manure, superposed by a periodically interrupted overvoltage. In terms of apparatus, a basic appliance with a circuit for supplying the electrodes with base voltage and in addition a step transformer with rectifier are provided, which transformer is secured by current/voltage interlocks against controlling the base load and operates equidirectionally and whose overvoltage can be superposed upon the base voltage by means of an adjustable interrupter.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for calendering paper, especially with so-called glassine calendering. The calender comprises press rolls arranged successively in the paper advancing direction whereby, at least between some of rolls, there are formed press nips for passing paper therethrough. Each press nip is preferably formed by a pair of rolls, one of which is hard and the other elastic. Paper is advanced into the calender at an initial moisture X within the range of 12 % </= X </= 25 %, at least one of the press nips having a calculable line pressure arranged higher than 250 kN/m. In operating conditions, the ratio X/LP between paper moisture X and calculable line pressure LP is maintained in the press nips within certain limits in a manner that the maximum value of ratio X/LP divided by the minimum value of ratio X/LP gives a reading Y, which is Y </= 2.15, whereby X refers to the moisture percentage of paper and LP is a line pressure at a particular press nip expressed as a quantity kN/m (kilonewton/meter). The invention relates also to a paper manufactured according to the method.

Title: A method of drying a paper board or paper web
IPC: D21F5/00
Filed: 1989-01-25
Granted: 1991-11-27
Abstract: A method of drying a fibre web such as a paper or paper board web (7), wherein air is first removed from the web (7) and a dryer felt (8), whereafter they are led together between two parallel metal bands (1, 2) moving at the same speed as the web (7) and the felt (8). For drying the web, the band (1) on the side of the web (7) is heated by means of a heating device (10) before the band (1) reaches the drying zone and, correspondingly, the band (2) on the side of the dryer felt (8) is cooled before the band reaches the drying zone and comes into contact with the dryer felt (8). In the method, for adjusting the mechanical Z compression exerted perpendicularly on the surface of the web (7), the temperature of the cooling band (2) is adjusted so that the difference between the condensation pressure of the steam condensed on the surface of the band (2) on the side of the dryer felt (8) and the pressure acting on the outer surface of the bands (1, 2) is substantially equal to the desired mechanical Z compression. Further, the drying rate of the web (7) is adjusted by adjusting the temperature of the heated band (1) by means of the heating device (10) in such a way that a desired amount of water can be evaporated from the web (7) within the drying zone. Since the pressure loss created by the steam flowing through the dryer felt (8) is substantially insignificant with respect to the condensing pressure of the steam condensing on the surface of the band (2), and the temperature difference between the heated band (1) and the cooled band (2) affects substantially this pressure loss only, these adjustments do not substantially affect each other and they can be carried out in desired order and adjusted suitably in view of the properties of the web (7) to be dried.

Abstract: A laser beam (40) is used to mark a longitudinally moving web (52) of paper (40) both at intervals (Sz) along its length and at plural locations spaced (Sx) across its width so that each of the sheets finally cut from the web (52) bears a mark (70). The web (52) passes over a cylinder (50) having windows (54) bearing masks (Fig. 6) carrying a logo or the like to be marked on the web (52). Mirrors (22) are arranged on a drum assembly 10 coaxially located in the cylinder 50 to rotate therewith. The mirrors 22 are disposed in helical sets (30a-35a) extending along the axis (A) of the cylinder (50) to successively intercept a laser beam (40) directed parallel to the axis of the drum and to reflect the beam (42) to successive mask windows (54). The mirrors (22) are plane mirrors (24) set at 45 DEG to the axis (A) and cause the reflected beam (42) to scan the mask in the circumferential direction. The beam is collimated but not focussed and has a diameter that encompasses the transverse width of the mask. A ring mode laser beam (Fig. 8) is preferred.

Abstract: The present invention provides a compact, efficient means for containing, preparing and dispensing moist, hot towels especially for airline passengers. The container of the invention includes a bottom (14) formed at least partially of heat insulating material that is adapted to contain a stack (18) of, for example, disposable towels and that has self-supporting sidewalls. A top cover (12) is included that is similarly shaped, but of a slightly smaller dimension so that it will fit inside the cavity of the bottom. In use, the disposable towels are placed within the bottom cavity, and preferably using the cavity of the top, the desired amount of hot water is added to the towels. In cases where the bottom is less than full of towels, the top may be inverted and used to express excess water by pressing against the towels with the bottom tipped so as to drain the excess water. The hot, moist towels may then be dispensed one at a time. After use, the towels may be collected in the container, the top replaced and the entire contents discarded.
