Abstract:
A running length of plastic film is processed by submerging a bight of the film in a bath of treatment liquid and drawing the film longitudinally therethrough by a pair of pinch rolls mounted closely adjacent and parallel to the top surface of the treatment liquid. The pinch rolls mechanically remove adhering droplets of the treatment liquid from the film as it emerges from the bath to thereby prevent non-uniform treatment. The film is washed as it emerges from the nip of the pinch rolls by flowing a rinsing liquid into the exit nip and along the axes of the rolls, and means are provided to prevent mixing the rinsing liquid with the treatment liquid. A property of the treated film, e.g., its light transmissions is continuously monitored and the time of submersion of the film in the treatment liquid is varied in accordance with the monitored property to assure uniform treatment.
Abstract:
A method for simultaneously coating the opposite sides of a paper web which involves employing an opposed blade coating system. Wet coating material is applied to the opposite sides of the web, the wet coated web is passed through the nip of a flexible blade unit comprised of a pair of blades having flat bevelled working surfaces engaging opposite sides of the coated web in opposed relationship with each other for metering the layer of coating on the opposite sides of the web, and thereafter the coated web is dried.
Abstract:
1. A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SANDWICH ELEMENTS, COMPRISING THE STEPS OF SPREADING OUT A FIRST LAYER OF A MIXTURE OF SOLID PARTICLES AND LIQUID RESINOUS BINDER ON A BASE, APPLYING A SUPPORT MEMBER OF FLEXIBLE SHEET MATERIAL ON THE SURFACE OF SAID FIRST LAYER, SPREADING OUT A SECOND LAYER OF A MIXTURE OF SOLID PARTICLES AND LIQUID RESINOUS BINDER ON SAID FIRST LAYER AND SAID SUPPORT MEMBER, THE QUANTITY OF SOLID PARTICLES IN SAID MIXTURE FORMING SAID SECOND LAYER BEING SUCH THAT UPON SUBSEQUENTLY ALLOWING THE SOLID PARTICLES TO SETTLE AND TO FORM A SETTLE LAYER OF PARTICLES WITH BINDER THEREBETWEEN, AN OUTER LAYER OF BINDER IN EXCESS OF THAT WHICH SETTLES BETWEEN THE PARTICLES IS FORMED ATOP SAID SETTLED LAYER, INSERTING ONE SIDE PORTION OF A CORE BOARD ELEMENT OF OPEN-CELLED STRUCTURE INTO AND THROUGH SAID OUTER LAYER AND INTO ENGAGEMENT WITH SAID SUPPORT MEMBER, AND SAID SUPPORT MEMBER SEEPING SAID CORE BOARD ELENENT OUT OF CONTACT WITH SAID BASE, SO THAT SOME BINDER OF SAID OUTER LAYER ENTERS AND IS PICKED UP BY THE CELLS OF SAID CORE BOARD ELEMENT, AND FINALLY ALLOWING SAID BINDER TO HARDEN.
Abstract:
A method and device for coating plastic films in which the thickness of the coating is controlled by passing the coated film under steady pressure past a resilient scraping member in whose surface are embedded solid particles which space the film from the surface of the resilient member.
Abstract:
In a process for coating tapes or sheets with viscous solutions by the air-brush principle, a steam of air flows in the opposite direction to the movement of the web of material and acts substantially tangentially on the formation of the coating. This steam of air is produced by a vacuum between a bar which has an edge in the form of a ruler edge and the tape which is being coated, which moves past it at a close distance.
