Title: A coating-powder spray gun
Inventor: MICHAEL HANSPETER
IPC: B05B5/03
Filed: 2002-02-28
Abstract: The invention relates to a high-voltage powder spray gun, in particular for spraying metallic powders. The rear terminal segment (60) of a powder tube (38) and the front terminal segment (58) of a hookup tube (56) are inserted far enough in axial and sealing manner to subtend between their overlap ends (69, 78) a powder-tight, electrically insulating expanse (76) to preclude electrical leakage currents. An electrically conducting bush (42) runs over the outer overlap end (78) of the hookup-tube/powder-tube connection to shunt any electric charges that might issue at the outer overlap end (78) between the hookup tube (56) and the powder tube (38). This powder spray gun preferably also is fitted with an electrically grounded shielding sheath (90), preferably a helical compression spring, which is configured radially away above the outer overlap end (88), said sheath being configured between the rear terminal segment of the hookup tube (56) and the front end of powder hose (84) slipped over said rear terminal segment. This configuration prevents arcing on the hand of an operator in the event electric charges were to issue between the powder hose (84) and the hookup tube (56).

Title: Polymeric stabilizers with high affinity to pulp
Inventor: THOMPSON THOMAS FRIEND
IPC: C08K5/00
Filed: 2000-09-07
Abstract: Selected polymeric stabilizers with pendant nitroxide, hydroxylamine or hydroxyammonium salt groups B are water soluble or water dispersible and have high affinity to pulp or paper. These stabilizers prevent the loss of brightness and enhance resistance to yellowing in pulp or paper, especially pulp or paper containing lignin. These compounds are added at various points in the paper-making process, especially at the wet ends, making the need for water soluble or water dispersible materials having high affinity for pulp or paper essential. This performance is often further enhanced by the presence of one or more coadditives selected from the group consisting of the UV absorbers, the polymeric inhibitors, the nitrones, the fluorescent whitening agents and metal chelating agents. Combinations of hydroxylamines or their salts, benzotriazole or benzophenone UV absorbers and a metal chelating agent are particularly effective.
