Abstract: The present invention is directed to a razor head having at least one blade with a sharpened edge disposed between a guard member and a cap member. The blade is supported in a manner such that the blade is pivotable about a point directly below, or below and forwardly of, the sharpened edge of the blade. The pivoting blade arrangement of the present invention is particularly adapted to decrease the blade exposure while increasing the guard-blade span and the shaving angle when the blade is subjected to forces during shaving. Biasing members are also provided for returning the blade edges to their original position when shaving forces are not acting on the razor head. While the razor head of the present invention is illustrated in a preferred embodiment as a two blade disposable cartridge, alternative embodiments including a single blade and a completely disposable razor are within the scope of the present invention.

Abstract: A double walled drum (10) of concentric cylinders (12,14) having end seals and insulation (16) between the cylinders (12,14). The drum (10) is open at both ends and rotates on its center longitudinal axis which is pitched from the horizontal with the entrance on the high side. Diameter restrictions at the entrance (26) and discharge ends (28) of the drum increase product residence time. Lifters (30,34) at the entrance (26) end discharge (28) end push flexible strandular food subject to microbial spoilage such as strands of cooked pasta away from the entrance and out the discharge. Pins (32) are mounted perpendicular to the inner cylinder wall and point to the central axis of the drum. Liquids such as acid and oil are sprayed onto the food in the drum from a spray bar (42) or spray manifold. The pins (32) continuously lift and separate the strands of food while it moves through the drum (10), and mix the liquid and product, resulting in a uniform coating. This process and apparatus produce a uniformly coated flexible strandular food such as spaghetti with minimal temperature loss. The food is free flowing and not tangled at the discharge of the drum (28). Surges from upstream equipment are suppressed, producing a uniform flow to downstream equipment.

Abstract: In coating devices for paper or cardboard webs (2) having a doctor blade (3) as dosing element, flexible pressure strips (5) that rest on the doctor blade (3) are used to allow the contact pressure of the doctor blade (3) to be regulated. The pressure strip (5) has a surface moment of inertia (lx?) measured in the perpendicular direction to the flexure plane comprised between 100 mm?4 and 5000 mm?4, preferably between 800 mm?4 and 1200 mm?4. A locally differentiated contact pressure can thus be regulated without causing coating irregularities at high speeds of the web. The adjusting elements for the pressure strip (5) have an axially movable adjusting rod (8) guided by a holder (7). The ends of the adjusting rod (8) push a prestressed pressure spring (12). An adjustable screw (16) coaxially arranged with respect to the adjusting rod (8) presses against the force of the spring (12) in the direction of the web (2).
