Abstract:
A mounting arm and bracket assembly for supporting for example electronic equipment such as a VDU or T.V. set in a desired position comprises an arm (14) having support means (28) at one end for the equipment and at the other end a base support member (8) rotatable about a generally vertical axis with respect to a member (2) designed to be attached to a substrate, e.g. a desk or table. The arm (14) is mounted for pivotal movement about a generally horizontal axis (12) offset from the axis of rotation of the support member (8) and its pivotal position is adjusted e.g. by a rotary cam (16) engageable with its underside. In alternative embodiments, pivoting about axis (12) is effected by a screw acting on the arm (14) from below or on its free end (15) from above. The mounting member (2) may be in two pieces adjustable relative to each other.
Abstract:
Epoxy adhesive compositions contain a heat activatable catalyst. The heat activatable catalyst includes a tertiary amine catalyst and a novolac resin that has a weight average molecular weight of at least 3000. One-component epoxy adhesive formulations that contain the heat activatable catalyst have unexpectedly good storage stability.
Abstract:
A hybrid yarn filament and sleeve constructed therefrom for protecting elongate members against at least one of EMI, RFI or ESD is provided, along with methods of constructing the hybrid yarn filament and sleeves. The hybrid yam filament has a non-conductive filament and at least one conductive wire filament overlying an outer surface of the non-conductive filament. The hybrid yarn filament is arranged in electrical communication with itself or other hybrid yarn filaments during construction of the sleeve to provide uniform shielding against EMI, RFI, and/or ESD.

Abstract:
A halogen-free flame-retardant compound and method of forming a continuous material therefrom includes compounding poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) with fire- retardant ingredients melamine cyanurate (MC) and melamine polyphosphate (MPP). The compound is then formed into pellets and/or extruded as a thin film or sheet, and also as a filament or yarn, including monofilaments and multifilaments.
Abstract:
A continuous halogen-free flame-retardant filament and method of forming thereof includes providing MC, a phosphorus compound, and PET, and then, forming a mixture of the MC, phosphorus compound, and PET. And lastly, extruding the mixture to form the halogen-free flame-retardant filament. The filament can be braided, woven or knitted into a variety of fabric constructions, such as, for example, sleeves for protecting wires.
Abstract:
A low profile fold protective textile sleeve for bundling elongate members has longitudinally and laterally interlaced monofilament warp and fill yarns. Flat profile monofilaments are employed in the warp direction and round monofilaments in the fill direction. The flat monofilaments are considerably wider than they are thick, and provide the sleeve with flexibility and bending out of the plane of the sleeve. The round monofilaments may be sized so that their diameter is about the same as the thickness of the flat monofilaments, and they can be bundled together so that the effective width of each bundle approximates the width of the flat monofilament yarns with which they are intertwined. The round monofilaments are heat-set along at least a portion of their length to provide biased living hinge regions of the sleeve, while also lending strength and stiffness to the sleeve along the fill direction.
