Title: Apparatus for cutting and shaping a spherical body
Inventor: TASHIRO YASUNORI
IPC: B29C48/30
Filed: 1990-07-03
Granted: 1991-10-10
Abstract: An apparatus for cutting and shaping a spherical body of a sticky material, comprising an assembly consisting of a number of rotary members (10) for collectively forming an enclosure at the center thereof to cut and shape the material passing through the enclosure. Each of the members has curved side surfaces (Y1, Y2) such that the enclosure is confined through the exposed part of one set of curved side surfaces of the members which pivotally swing to open and close the enclosure. The tip of each of the members follows the exposed curved side surface of the adjacent member to scrape off the material adhering thereto, and each of the members has a uniform thickness that is thick enough to preclude the member from wedging into the material and that decreases towards the tip thereof, so that substantially spherical products can be continuously produced without generating any difficulty caused by the material adhering to the cutting members or by the filling protruding through the coating even when processing very sticky, soft materials. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1991-03-01
Granted: 1994-07-07
Abstract: A three-dimensional non-woven fabric with a thermally activated adhesive surface well suited for use as a facing fabric for covering a fibrous mat. The fabric comprises two adjoining fiber layers, namely an adhesive layer including bond-forming fibers fusible at a predetermined temperature and a facing layer of fibers having a considerably higher melting temperature than the bond-forming fibers. The fibers of both layers are mechanically engaged one with another and are arranged flat-wise in bundles interconnected at junctures by protuberant fiber packings disposed in a staggered relationship throughout the fabric. Bond-forming fibers are concentrated in the apex portions of the fiber packings to form the thermally activated adhesive surface. The invention also extends to a process for manufacturing the three-dimensional non-woven fabric, based on the so-called "rosebud" technique for producing foraminous webs. The invention further comprehends a molded fibrous mat article with a non-woven fabric facing layer, and a method for producing the article.

IPC: B01D50/00
Filed: 1981-11-18
Granted: 1986-07-17
Abstract: A drill cuttings conveying and collection system (50) for handling drill cuttings produced by an earth drilling rig (20). A generally tubular head member (52) is adapted to be extendable with respect to the rig deck (38) into engagement with the ground around the drillhole (35) for conducting a bailing air flowstream laden with drill cuttings to an enclosure (70) wherein coarse cuttings are separated from the flowstream by gravitational and inertia forces and deposited on the ground at a point remote from the drillhole. Relatively fine cuttings are conveyed from the coarse cuttings separating enclosure (70) to a filter and dust collection unit (88) to provide total collection of entrained particles utilizing inertial and impingement separation techniques. The system efficiency is such that a variable capacity suction pump on the dust collection unit (88) is required to operate at only 1.0 to 1.5 times the volumetric flow rate of bailing air injected into the drillhole.
