Title: Coating method
IPC: B05D7/22
Filed: 1964-02-12
Abstract: A process of coating the inside surfaces of a heated tub-like article which is separated from a fluidizing source comprises withdrawing fluidized coating powder from the fluidizing source to immediately contact the inside surfaces of said article while the article is at a temperature sufficiently high to fuse the powder and is being rotated and vibrated whereby the coating powder is coalesced into an even adherent layer on the inside surfaces of the tub-like article.  By the process tubs, pails, buckets and barrels may be coated with polyvinyl chloride, copolymers of vinyl chloride with vinyl esters or vinylidene halides, cellulose esters, epoxy resins, polyamide resins, polyethylene, or chlorinated polyethylene, or chlorinated polyethers. The surface to be coated may be metallic and may be sandblasted, etched, degreased or phosphated before coating.  There may be a final post-heating step.

Abstract: 356,135. Escapement mechanism. SIEMENS-SCHUCKERTWERKE AKT.- GES., Siemensstadt, Berlin. Feb. 28, 1930, No. 6737. Convention date, March 1, 1929. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Acts]. [Class 80 (iv).] Motor - driven escapement mechanism consists of two members connected by an " energy accumulator." By rotating one of them energy is stored until, on reaching a definite position, a locking device is released and the accumulated energy is discharged, moving the second member into the next position. When a cam lever 8 is driven by a motor in the direction of the arrow a spring 7 is compressed, but an angle lever 5 on which it acts is prevented from moving until the lever 8 has acted on a roller 9, to move a ratchet lever 3 out of one of a series of notches 2, against the action of a spring 4. Immediately the lever 3 is released, the spring 7 rotates the angle lever 5, the spring 4 at the same time pushing the lever 3 into engagement with the next notch. This is repeated for each step of the movement. The last notch 10 is made large so that the action cannot continue beyond it. During movement in the opposite direction the lever 3 slides over the notches 2. In a modification, two sets of notches and two ratchet levers are used to give a stepping action in both directions, a flat spring being used in place of the coiled spring 7. In a further doublesided arrangement, four coiled springs are used, a different arrangement and construction of the lever and cam disc being described. By adjusting the initial tension or compression of the springs, or by adjusting the relative positions of the parts, the quick action of the mechanism may be increased. The Specification states that energy accumulators, other than springs, may be used, e.g. a piston carried airtight in a cylinder.
