Title: Brackets and methods for holding wires utilizing magnetic force
Inventor: VASICHEK RICHARD
IPC: F16L3/06
Filed: 2004-07-21
Granted: 2014-12-09
Abstract: A bracket (10) holds a wire (12) adjacent a magnetic surface (25). The bracket (10) includes a retaining member (14) with a magnetic attracting end (16) and a retaining end (18). The retaining member (14) is shaped to accept the wire (12) between the magnetic attracting end (16) and the retaining end (18) while holding the wire (12) adjacent the magnetic surface (15) when the retaining member (14) is held to the magnetic surface (15). The retaining member (14) is formed of a plastic material that is flexible to form a plurality of holding shapes and sturdy to retain one of the plurality of holding shapes to correspond to the magnetic surface (15) of a planar or non-planar configuration. The magnetic attracting end (16) and the retaining end (18) can each include a cavity (46) to receive and fit magnetic attractors (36,38). The magnetic attractors (36,38) can each have a length longer than a width and have elongated magnetic forces which are generally perpendicular to an axis extending between the magnetic attracting end (16) and the retaining end (18) of the retaining member (14). In other aspects, the wire (12) is held on a nonmagnetic surface by placing the wire (12) adjacent to the nonmagnetic surface and to first and second magnet attractive fasteners (22, 24) that have been attached to the nonmagnetic surface. While constraining the wire (12) within the bracket (10), the first and second magnetic attractors (36,38) are attached to the first and second magnet attractive fasteners (22,24), respectively, thereby holding the wire (12) adjacent the nonmagnetic surface.

Granted: 2013-08-06
Abstract: This invention relates to an improved spreading unit for bonding machines which is equipped with recirculation systems that take up adhesive from the base of the reservoir in contact with the take-up roller and return it to the storage tank, from which it is sent back to the reservoir; this continuous circulation of the product guarantees that the product will maintain the ideal temperature and viscosity characteristics. In accordance with an advantageous aspect of the invention, the reservoir containing the adhesive taken up by the rollers is bounded by a pair of doctor blades which define an enclosed area in contact with the roller and are mounted on a sliding support, so that they can be moved away from the roller for cleaning, maintenance and similar operations. The reservoir is positioned at a height calculated so that adhesive is transferred to the reservoir by a calibrated gravity system, without being engaged by mechanical devices, and consequently without producing foam. This guarantees continuous recirculation of adhesive without the risk of stagnation which could cause a variation in the characteristics of the compound, and above all without foam production. Moreover, in accordance with another advantageous aspect of the invention, the reservoir is mounted on a skid that slides along guides integral with the structure of the machine, so that it can be rapidly distanced from the rollers when required for maintenance or cleaning operations.
