Granted: 2001-10-09
Abstract: A coating dispenser such as a spray gun which is particularly adapted for the application of a protective coating material onto metal can bodies comprises a gun body formed with a liquid passageway which carries the valve stem of a needle valve. In the presently preferred embodiment, the lowermost end or valve tip of the needle valve, and a valve seat, are carried within a valve seat block which is secured to the base of the gun body. A threaded connection is provided between the valve tip in the valve seat block, and the valve stem within the gun body, so that the valve tip, valve seat and valve seat block can be removed and replaced as a unit when the valve tip and/or valve seat become worn. Pins connected to the valve stem, and to the valve tip, are carried within slots in the gun body and valve seat block, respec-tively. These pins prevent rotation of the valve stem relative to the gun body and the valve tip relative to the valve seat block when they are threaded into and out of engagement with one another.

Title: Jet units for whirlpool-bath systems
Inventor: GAPE ALAN FREDERICK
IPC: A61H33/02
Filed: 1990-08-02
Granted: 2001-06-05
Abstract: The fixed-direction jet units (1) of a whirlpool-bath system (Figures 1 and 2) each include a nozzle (18) for sup-plying water under pressure from a tube-section (17) to an outlet (12) across an air gap (20) within a chamber (19). The unit (1) is clamped to the bath-wall (14) between a flange (16) of the outlet (12) and the unit housing (15). Issue of wa-ter from the nozzle (18) across the gap (20) into the axially-aligned stem (13) of the outlet (12), draws air into the cham-ber. (19) from an inlet pipe (21) that is coupled to a distribu-tion manifold (7) of an air-supply controller (9) (Figures 1 and 2) by an individual supply tube (8). A circumferential skirt (22) projects backwardly from the stem (13) to shroud the gap (20) over a frusto-conical nose-part (23) of the noz-zle (18), so that air is constricted to enter the gap (20) through the annular space (24) between them: The constric-tion evens out air flow around the stream of water from the nozzle (18), enhancing small-babble distribution in the stream and the consequent foaming and turbulence of the jet discharge from the outlet (12). The cross-sectional area of the pathway for air between the nozzle nose-part (23) and the skirt (22) increases towards the gag (20), but may be sub-stantially uniform.

Title: Pallet containers
Inventor: SCHUETZ UDO
IPC: B29C70/34
Filed: 1992-03-13
Granted: 1997-12-30
Abstract: The pallet container (101) for liquids incorporates a replaceable plastic inner container (102), an outer lattice-work casing (106) and a pallet (109) that is in the form of a base pan (110) that accommodates the base (111) of the inner container, which is configured as a run-off base, in a shape-locking fit and has a filler connector (103) as well as a drain connector (115) with a drain tap (105). Within the base pan (110), which matches the slope of the run-off base (111) there are stiffening corrugations (118a, 118b); the bottoms (119) of these stiffening corrugations lie in a common horizontal plane (120-120). The flat base pan (110) has an outer support edge (117) that is drawn down and in the area of the stiffening corrugations (118a, 118b) and of the supporting edge (117) is rivetted or welded with a flat sub-base (121) or a sub-frame that is of sheet metal to a hollow-chamber base with closed and/or open chambers (123) and an encircling, outer, hollow supporting collar (124).   Because a flat base pan with a flat sub-base or sub-frame that is of sheet metal and accommodates the plastic inner container and that has chambers and an outer, encircling supporting collar, the pallet is distinguished by good damping properties and a high level of rigidity both when subjected to surge loads caused by the liquid within the container and the vibrations that are transferred to it by the vehicle that is carrying it, as well as to shock and impact stresses.

Granted: 1998-05-19
Abstract: Signals, such as television signals, are distributed from a head-end station (1) via a fibre network (3). The signals are amplitude modulated on carriers at different frequencies, and the different carriers combined to form a composite analogue signal. In the head-end station (1) the composite analogue signal is clipped to reduce the peak-to-mean ratio and the clipped composite signal is digitised. The resulting digital data is transmitted onto the fibre network and is received at an optical receiver (2). The optical receiver (2) reconstitutes the composite analogue signal for reception by a termination. In one example the composite analogue signal has a bandwidth of one octave or less, and is digitised by sampling at a sampling rate below the Nyquist rate.

Title: Method of making an article comprising solder bump bonding
Inventor: DUDDERAR THOMAS DIXON
IPC: B23K1/00
Filed: 1994-02-23
Granted: 1995-11-21
Abstract: The present invention is embodied in a technique for precise and accurate heightcontrol in fabricating solder bumps or joints formed from a solder bump or bumps. A solder bump is formed by reflow of a conical solder body having base diameter D,height H and cone angle .THETA., and has truncated sphere shape, with height h and truncation diameter d. We have found that D, H, and d can be selected such that ?h/?H is small (typically ? 0.5), indicative of relative insensitivity of the bump height to variation in the height of the conical solder body. The inventive process is also applicable to a component (e.g., a laser) solder-bonded to a substrate, and can provide previously unattainable control of the spacing between component and substrate.
