Title: Web feed device having an improved lid mechanism
IPC: B41J11/30
Filed: 1989-10-04
Granted: 1993-09-01
Abstract: An improved lid mechanism for a web feed device, particularly device for feeding perforated paper webs in printers, copiers and the like, and more particularly a tractor with an improved lid mechanism, wherein pins on which the lid (10) is pivotally mounted for movement between open and closed position are unloaded (do not have any force or bias applied thereto) when the lid is in its open and closed position. The lid (10), when closed, covers the paper and is then spaced from the surface (34,36) of a frame along which the paper is fed by a pin drive such as a belt (26) having pins (28) which extend into perforations of the paper (30). A depending leg (48) of the lid has a block (60) with surfaces (70,72) disposed at an angle (72) to each other. These surfaces extend from a corner (74) of the block. One of these surfaces (70) is preferably perpendicular to the surface (38) of the lid which defines the gap. The other of these surfaces (72) defines the position of the lid in its open position. These surfaces bear against the outer wall (56) of a side plate (16) of the frame of the device (the tractor) and are biased thereagainst by a flat spring (82) mounted on the side plate (16). This spring (82) bears against surfaces of said block opposite to the surfaces which bear against the outer side wall. The location of the lower surface (38) of the lid and the size of the gap (40) is defined by a pin and slot (76) hinge arrangement. The slot is longer (76) than the stroke of the pin which is executed as the lid moves between its open and closed position. Accordingly in both the open and closed position the block is under compression and the pin is unloaded. The lid may be molded and an integral body of plastic. The use of steel pins may be avoided. The location of the lid and the size of the gap is accurately defined since dynamic factors such as material strength, bending deflections and part homogeneity do not affect the accuracy of the lid position; the position being dependent only on the static dimensions of the block, the pin and the groove.

Title: A method and apparatus for positioning at least one thread, band or the like in a pre-determined pattern on a material web
IPC: B65H57/28
Filed: 1989-07-06
Granted: 1992-06-17
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for positioning at least one thread, band or like element (8) in a pre-determined pattern above a conveyer path (1) with the aid of thread outfeed device (3) having at least one thread outlet device (5). In accordance with the invention, the thread outlet, or each thread outlet, is moved in a simple or a composite rotational path in a plane parallel with the conveyer path, and the path is moved linearly in relation to the rotational axis of the thread outlet. This will cause the thread outlet to move in a spiral-like movement path relative to the conveyer path. The conveyer path has mounted thereon dogging elements (2) which are located within the spiral-like movement path of the thread outlet, such as to enable the thread to be laid out in a pattern determined by the dogging elements. The invention also relates to apparatus for carrying out the method.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sprayer (1) for use in hairdressing capable of generating liquid particles having very small particle diameters using an electro-mechanical conversion element as a source of ultrasonic waves. With the sprayer (1) for use in hairdressing according to the present invention, air is sucked and compulsorily ventilated through a passage formed of flexible members to generate liquid particles having very small particle diameters from a surface of a liquid accumulated in a mist generating tank (30) by the vibration of the electro-mechanical conversion element and the resulting liquid particles are heated by means of a mist heater (70) to be introduced into said passage. Accordingly, a temperature of the liquid particles having the particle diameters of several  mu m or less generated by the vibration of the ultrasonic waves can be controlled to an appropriate value and the liquid particles can be sprayed singly or together with a hot air and a cold air.

Abstract: A connector for a bottle of concentrate for a carbonating apparatus has a cylindrical body the upper end of which carries a structure defining a number of radially extending baffle and a central opening through which a dip tube may be inserted into the bottle. A latching ring for connecting the connector to the carbonation apparatus is carried by the body at a position outwardly thereof and lower than the baffle structure. The latching ring is constructed to snap on to a corresponding boss on the carbonation apparatus. The bottle is detached from the carbonation apparatus, after exhaustion of the contents, by removal of a tear-off strip which connects the latching ring to the body of the connector. To facilitate connection of a fresh bottle of concentrate to the apparatus, the apparatus includes a housing which is detachable from the remainder of the apparatus and which carries the dip tube and other elements co-operable with the connector for attaching the bottle.

Abstract: The composite ultrasound transducer comprises transducer elements (12) which are made of piezoelectric ceramic, radiate essentially in the longitudinal direction and are embedded in a plastic matrix (11). The geometrical structure of the transducer elements (12) and their arrangement with respect to one another is such that any generation of vibration modes perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the transducer elements (12) in the composite ultrasound transducer is suppressed. The composite ultrasound transducer is produced by a slip casting process using a plastic mould which quantitatively burns without leaving solid residues when the ceramic is fired. In the fabrication process, a plastic mould, in particular, is used which produces any desired structures, in particular hexagonal or irregularly square structures having a trapezoidal cross section parallel to the longitudinal direction, and arrangements of the transducer elements.

Abstract: An improved liquid-phase process for preparing carboxylic acids having (n + 1) carbon atoms by rhodium catalysed carbonylation of an alcohol having n carbon atoms is provided. The process is particularily suitable for preparing acetic acid from methanol in commercial carbonylation reactors operating at steady-state with a low standing quantity of water (eg 0.5 to 5% by weight).

Abstract: The functions of two virtual operating systems (e.g. S/370 VM, VSE or IX370 and S/88 OS) are merged into one physical system. Partner pairs of S/88 processors run the S/88 OS and handle the fault tolerant and single system image aspects of the system. One or more partner pairs of S/370 processors are coupled to corresponding S/88 processors directly and through the S/88 bus. Each S/370 processor is allocated form 1 to 16 megabytes of contiguous storage from the S/88 main storage. Each S/370 virtual operating system thinks its memory allocation starts at address 0, and it manages its memory through normal S/370 dynamic memory allocation and paging techniques. The S/370 is limit checked to prevent the S/370 from accessing S/88 memory space. The S/88 Operating System is the master over all system hardware and I/O devices. The S/88 processors across the S/370 address space in direct response to a S/88 application program so that the S/88 may move I/O data into the S/370 I/O buffers and process the S/370 I/O operations. The S/88 and S/370 peer processor pairs to execute their respective Operating Systems in a single system environment without significant rewriting of either operating system. Neither operating system is aware of the other operating system nor the other processor pairs.
