Title: Surface material with slits
Inventor: HANSSON ROY
IPC: A61F5/44
Filed: 1997-02-19
Abstract: A liquid-permeable surface material for an absorbent article such as a diaper, an incontinence protector, a sanitary napkin, or the like, comprising a flexible, skin friendly material layer (1), and having at least one penetrating opening (3'). The opening (3') is formed by a slit (3) in the material layer (1) whereby the slit (3) has two longitudinal edges. Elongate elastic means (2) are pre-tensioned and arranged on both sides of the slit (3), substantially perpendicular to the edges of the slit (3), and act contractingly on the material on both sides of the slit (3) so that the edges of the slit (3) are pulled apart and the contracted material exhibits wrinkles (24) running substantially parallel to the slit (3).

Patent GB-2328640-A (GB)
Title: Manufacture of friction elements
Inventor: BRAUND ROBERT WILLIAM
IPC: B29C43/00
Filed: 1997-08-29
Abstract: A method of manufacturing a sheet of friction material for an automobile brake shoe, and apparatus therefor, includes forming a plastic lining element of uncured or green thermosetting resin binder containing friction modifiers and fibrous reinforcements and curing the resin binder in a defined heat and pressure regime which cures the resin binder by cross-linking and produces a sheet of defined dimensions and whose major faces are not disrupted by gases evolved during the curing. The need for a dosed mould and/or venting stops is avoided by use of a stabilising press (50, Fig 3(a)) which includes a heated bed 52 between guide plates 56, 57 to receive such lining element in its green state. The guide plates are spaced slightly further apart than the width of a closure member 53 which is, having been pre-heated, brought down onto the lining element and pressed by a pneumatic ram 70, the loosely sliding closure member comprising a non-sealing closure of the press. The previously heated surface 52 of press bed and closure member 53 combine with the lightly ramped-up pressure to create setting-up of the surface resins and fix final dimensions; the ram position is then clamped to permit internal pressure growth as curing proceeds and gases are vented without disrupting the sealed major surfaces. After less than 1 minute the lining element sheet is sufficiently cured and dimensionally stable to be taken from the press and baked unconstrained to effect final cure.

Patent GB-191115148-A (GB)
IPC: A47B63/00
Abstract: 15,148. Mussbeck, K. June 28. Picture frames. - In order to preserve oil paintings &c., they are enclosed in a gas-tight case filled with nitrogen. The case may be made entirely of glass, and in this case comprises a glass trough a, Fig. 1, connected to a glass plate b by fusing with a glass thread or cementing with burnmastic c, and a closing-prism d, Fig. 2, which has overlapping flanges and a large cementing-surface d<a>. Elastic cushions y and metal tongues z, Fig. 4, are adapted to provide a space between the painting and the glass b and to secure the painting against vibration. In order to prevent breakage due to changes in atmospheric pressure and temperature, mercury-containing tanks communicate with the interior of the case, so that the variations of a mercury level accompany an increase or decrease in the volume of the gas. The tanks are arranged in a single case-piece e, Fig. 1, and communicate by means of fused or cemented tubes so that a transference of mercury from one part to the other takes place when a change in volume of the gas occurs. The volume of gas needed may be lessened by inserting filling-pieces, consisting of hollow tin cases, at the rear of the canvas, and evaporation of the mercury into the outer air or into the case is prevented by means of an oil-tank and by a layer of oil spread over the surface of the mercury. Stop-cocks g may be closed to avoid spilling the mercury during transport, but otherwise they are sealed in an open position by pieces of glass h. After the closing-prism d, Fig. 2, has been cemented in place, the filling takes place either through an aperture u, which is subsequently closed by mastic, or through two opposite corners, in which case, the air is displaced by the nitrogen let in below and the openings are afterwards closed by gas-tight stoppers. The glass case and the compensating system are ensured against damage by surrounding them by strong cushions supported in metal ribs of U-shaped cros-section as shown in Fig. 15. In a modification, Fig. 22, suitable for larger paintings, the case comprises a metal frame b<1>, connected at the back with thin metal plates c<1>, and having a flange which serves as an under-layer for a glass plate a<2>. Owing to the flexibility of the metal plates c<1> no compensating-device is necessary. The edges of the plate a<2> are surrounded by a broad rubber or caoutchouc band k<1> held in place by angle-pieces m<1>, and the painting is supported on elastic cushions p<1> with springs or tongues arranged at the upper end to press the painting downwards.

Title: Method and furnace for burning waste products
Inventor: MALLEK HEINZ
IPC: F23G5/24
Filed: 1993-09-08
Abstract: A method and a combustion furnace are provided by means of which waste which is predominantly of organic nature can be burnt effectively and uniformly. The combustion furnace comprises two bottlenecks, one above the other, constituted by rocking grates. The upper rocking grate essentially serves to subject the solids to pre-combustion, namely to drying, degasifying, and partial gasifying, and to supply the material uniformly in doses to the fire bed which is located on the lower grate and in which complete gasification takes place. Rotational movements of both grates provide for uniform passage of the material through the shaft without the risk of burn-through occurring along the edges so that the entire combustion process becomes highly uniform.
