Patent EP-0789004-B1 (EP)
Inventor: LEIDY WAYNE D

Abstract: A plunger mechanism for forming a hollow article of glass in a "narrow neck press and blow" operation which utilizes an electro servo-driven leadscrew to actuate it. A position sensing resolver is used to determine the position of the plunger over the full range of its stroke, and the position information can be used as feedback to control the position of the plunger prior to contacting a molten gob of glass in a mold chamber. The depth of the plunger penetration into the molten gob is then controlled by the pressing pressure, which is a function of motor torque and screw mechanics. It is possible to control the pressure exerted on the molten glass gob by controlling the torque applied by the motor. A separate gob weight controller is not required because changes in gob weight can be determined by closely monitoring the plunger penetration of the gob. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A lightning arrester consists of two metal armatures (3), a series of electrical components extending along its lengthwise axis between them, and an outer casing (6) surrounding them so that an electrical contact is maintained between them. The casing is made from a thermoplastic material, e.g. reinforced with glass or silica fibres, which is moulded over the electrical components and armatures and has a corrugated outer surface with projections (8, 9) and recesses (7), the recesses being in the form of lateral apertures for a free release of gases into the outside air. Each of the metal armatures has an annular groove with base facets to engage with the casing, and the outer corrugations of the casing are in the form of both lengthwise (8) and radial (9) ribs. An outer housing of an elastomer polymer surrounds the casing and fills the hollows in its outer surface.

Date Nov. 27, 1997An assembly for locking a curtain in a selected position has a hollow roller unto which a curtain is rolled and unrolled, the roller containing an elastic winding device, and a locking device for locking the roller in the selected position. The locking device has a support coupled to the roller, the support having a cavity which receives co-axially and rotatably at least one locking element that has an elastic band which frictionally engages the support to hinder free rotation of the roller. The elastic band has a first end fastened to the locking element with the band wound around the locking element so that the band is in frictional contact with the support. Turning the roller in the curtain unrolling direction stretches the elastic band thus reducing the band diameter and reducing friction while turning the roller in the curtain rolling up direction in response to the elastic rewinding device increases the band diameter and increases friction so as to overcome the rewinding action and lock the curtain in the selected position.

Abstract: Melt adhesive compositions containing a mixture of at least one reactive binder based on silane-functional polyisobutylene, hydrated polybutadiene and/or poly- alpha -olefines and a non-reactive binder from the group of butyl rubbers, poly- alpha -olefines and a non-reactive binder from the group of butyl rubbers, poly- alpha -olefines, polybutenes, styrene block copolymers or diene polymers may be used as one or two-part adhesives/sealants for the production of double glazing. Here, no separate spacer of metal or plastic sections are needed. As the entire edge bond consists of a uniform material, on the one hand the production process for the double-glazing units can be greatly simplifed and on the other the uniform material can be subjected particularly easily to a recycling process after a double-glazing unit has been dismantled, as it not a composite material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for production of a screen by electrolysis. During said process, metal from an electrolyte is deposited on electrically conductive deposit surfaces (2) of a matrix (1) in the electrolyte in such a manner that a screen with screen members (5, 6, 7) and screen openings (8, 9) is formed. The invention firstly proposes to increase the viscosity of the electrolyte to at least 50 mPas; secondly to add a protective agent (11) modified by ions to the electrolyte, said protective agent (11) being removed during deposition from each outer side (12) of the screen members (5, 6, 7) which form; thirdly to eliminate the second procedural step; and fourthly to introduce an electrically insulating protective substance (13) into the screen openings (8, 9) which form when the matrix (1) is in the electrolyte, and so that the protective substance (13) does not deposit on the outer sides (12) of the screen members (5, 6, 7) which form.
