Abstract:
A conveyor system (10) for flanged containers (24) includes downwardly inclined, laterally-spaced rails (30, 32) for supporting the flanges (25) of the containers (24) as the containers (24) move by gravity toward a take-away conveyor (80). Control elements (36, 38, 40) are provided for permitting each container (24) to move by gravity on the rails into engagement with a leading edge (84)of an adjacent aperture (82) in the take-away conveyor (80) with flanges (25) of each container (24) still supported by a lower section (34) of the spaced rails. Preferably the lower section (34) is movable, and an actuating system (68, 70, 72) is provided for moving it to positively direct a lower trailing end of each container (24) into its adjacent aperture.
Abstract:
A multifunction cleaning wand having a disposable head. The cleaning head is removably attachable to the wand handle. A first cleaning element in the shape of a swab is secured to a retainer by a flexible strap. The retainer is removably attached to the cleaning head. A second cleaning element is attached to the head on a side thereof opposite the swab. A method for assembling the cleaning wand is also disclosed.
Abstract:
Matériaux de polysaccharides modifiées comportant le produit de réaction de polysaccharides mouillables dans l'eau avec un N, N'-méthylènebisacrylamide et leurs procédés de préparation. Ces matériaux sont utiles pour la préparation de produits caractérisés par une augmentation de leur volume et de leur pouvoir absorbant.
Abstract:
Enceinte de distribution de papier en rouleaux possédant des organes permettant de supporter de manière rotative un rouleau de papier et une paire de rouleaux gaufreurs rotatifs entre lesquels passe le papier avant de sortir de l'enceinte. Les rouleaux gaufreurs, dont au moins l'un comprend une pluralité de dents, agissent de concert pour étirer mécaniquement le papier au delà de la limite élastique dans des régions écartées sur toute la surface du papier pour réduire de 25% la résistance à la traction à l'état mouillé dans le sens transversal à la machine et pour accroître de plus de 60% le volume du papier, afin d'obtenir un ruban de papier possédant des caractéristiques améliorées de douceur, flexibilité et absorption.
Abstract:
There is disclosed an absorbent dry-formed fibrous web characterized in that a preponderance, by weight, of the fibres are fine wood pulp fibres of a paper-making length no greater than about 6.35mm. (1/4 in.); these fine wood pulp fibres having experienced a freeness decrement of at least 150 by mechanical working.
Abstract:
An improved transparent electrophotographic element of a conductive support overcoated with a photoconductive nsulating layer. Conductive coatings of the reaction product of a metal salt and phosphorus sesquisulfide are agherently bonded to or embedded into the support ma- tenal to form a stable conductive support that exhibits excellent light transmission and uniform conductivity throughout the element.
