Abstract: An improved rupture disk assembly and methods and apparatuses for forming a rupture disk are disclosed. The rupture disk assembly includes a rupture disk (44) that has a flange connected to a dome-shaped rupturable portion by a transition area and is sealed between a pair of support members (30, 32). The rupturable portion may include an indentation positioned at the apex of the dome and a score line having a first and a second end. A safety member (50) that has a hinge (52) including a knuckle and a tongue (54) is positioned between the rupture disk and an outlet support member. The knuckle extends downwardly into the dome and extends laterally across the dome to a point that is inside the area circumscribed by the score line or inside the area circumscribed by an arc connecting the two ends of the score line. The present invention is also directed to an apparatus and method for consistently, accurately, and repeatably forming a structural apex formation in a rupture disk before the formation of the rupture disk dome, during the formation of the rupture disk dome, and after the formation of the rupture disk dome.

Abstract: It is presented here an invention which aims at providing a simple indicator of direction for the exit of paper and of other materials in rolls of the respective materials installed as rotate reels. The invention is characterised by presenting a column formed by two successive alternate groups of words/phrases and arrows in horizontal lines, informing basically if the direction is correct (1) or incorrect (2), written upside down in relation to each other. The group of words/phrases and arrows can be printed in the involucre of the roll, where many times there are specifications of the product, or can be affixed in the roll. The correct displacement direction and the incorrect displacement direction can be easily verified by the installer, because there is a natural tendency of people to read what it is written in the usual direction of writing and reading (with the letters with the head upward and from left to right (1 and 4)); and there is a natural difficulty of people to read what is written upside down and from the right to the left (2 and 3).

Abstract: Trailing cable winch and method of operation in which an axially stationary, rotating winding arm is disposed in a carrier tube and driven by a motor arranged in the carrier tube. The trailing cable winch is operable to deposit a trailing cable on an axially reversibly movable cable drum which is disposed on the carrier tube. The rotation of the winding arm is synchronized with the advancing of the cable drum, so that, during a linear movement of the cable drum, the advance per rotation of the winding arm corresponds exactly to the diameter of the trailing cable. In the end position of the cable drum, two cable layers are deposited above one another.
