Abstract:
A sealing blade includes opposite elongated edges (30, 31) and between them a flat (32) and which is adaptable to a blade holder (17) arranged in a coating applicator (25) of a coating device (21) and into contact with a moving surface (11′). The sealing blade has a contact surface (33), which may be arranged against the moving surface and which is 5-15% of the width (W) of the sealing blade (10).
Abstract:
A cake decorating assembly, kit, and method of use comprising a mount which includes a longitudinally extending member. The assembly further comprises a top blade subassembly, a lateral blade subassembly, a gauge subassembly, and a cutting subassembly, all of which may be removably attached to the longitudinally extending member. All of the top blade subassembly, the lateral blade subassembly, the gauge subassembly, and the cutting subassembly may be vertically adjusted relative to the longitudinally extending member, while the gauge subassembly may also be horizontally adjusted relative to the longitudinally extending member. The cake decorating assembly provides for, e.g., the efficient decoration of a cake and further assists, e.g., in the even distribution of frosting on a cake.
Abstract:
A wax grooming tool for a water sports board. The grooming tool includes a plurality of combs extending radially outward from a central portion of the tool toward a peripheral portion of the tool. The plurality of combs allows a user to save time when combining or grooming the wax on the water sports board by reducing the amount of repetitions required to complete the combining or grooming. The unique configuration of the grooming tool further results in creating a swirl pattern in the wax and saved wax by thoroughly grooming the existing wax to a freshly-waxed state.
Abstract:
A film applicator which includes an applicator housing, an applicator blade positioned within the housing, a micrometer secured to the applicator housing and having a plurality of shafts and a plurality of magnets each having one end secured to a respective micrometer shaft and another end in releasable magnetic engagement with the applicator blade.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses an adjustable film applicator which comprises an applicator body, a first knife, a second knife, a first fixing apparatus, a second fixing apparatus, a pair of first adjusting screws, and a pair of second adjusting screws. The first and second knife are adjusted to a first and second height by adjusting the first and second adjusting screws, wherein the second height is greater than the first height.
Abstract:
Equipment for changing a blade (43) in a coating device (51) changes several blades (43) arranged in a band (43). The equipment includes reels (11, 40) connected to the ends of the blade holder (45), for holding the reeled unused and used band (43); transfer devices (13, 20) for moving the band (43) in connection with the blade holder (45), and lifting devices (17) for lifting the band (43) up and lowering it into the blade holder (45). Indentations (44) at least the length of the hollow shaft (52) are arranged at regular intervals on the band (43), and are arranged to permit the blade (43) to be lowered into the blade holder (45).
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for coating at least a portion of a curved surface of a lens with a polarizing liquid are disclosed throughout the specification. For example, there is provided a method comprising providing a lens having a curved surface, and applying a polarizing liquid to at least a portion of the curved surface by shear flow with a flexible apparatus. Other methods are included. Apparatuses include ophthalmic lenses having polarized coatings formed according to any of the disclosed methods.
Abstract:
A spreading unit for bonding machines which is equipped with recirculation systems that take up adhesive from the base of the reservoir in contact with the take-up roller and return it to the storage tank, from which it is sent back to the reservoir; this continuous circulation of the product guarantees that the product will maintain the ideal temperature and viscosity characteristics. The reservoir containing the adhesive taken up by the rollers is bounded by a pair of doctor blades which define an enclosed area in contact with the roller and are mounted on a sliding support, so that they can be moved away from the roller for cleaning, maintenance and similar operations. The reservoir is positioned at a height calculated so that adhesive is transferred to the reservoir by a calibrated gravity system, without being engaged by mechanical devices, and consequently without producing foam.
Abstract:
It is possible to give ultrathin and uniform coating on a flexible web in scraping-off type coating. The distribution of pressure in a web width direction is adjusted by a pressure distribution adjusting device when an excess of coating liquid excessively applied is scraped off by a doctor blade by giving relative pressure to a coating surface of a web and the doctor blade after applying the coating liquid that is more excessive than the desired quantity of the coating liquid on the web by a precoating apparatus while making the web continuously travel.
Abstract:
An apparatus for direct or indirect application of a liquid or pasty medium onto a traveling material web, notably of paper or cardboard, with a support beam which substantially extends in its length direction across the entire width of the material web, is supported in at least two bearing points and includes at least one finish-dosing apparatus. A backing roll opposes the support beam. A relevant bearing point includes two mutually spaced support bars each of which is at its one end jointedly fixed to pivot points of the support beam and at its other end pivotally connected to at least one foundation. At least one prop bar is attached at its one end jointedly to the support beam and is at its other end jointedly fixed to the foundation. A least one of the aforementioned bars is lengthwise adjustable.
