摘要:
A modular power-driven knife having an annular rotary blade (58), the structure of which knife can be varied through choice of standardized, i.e., compatible, components to accommodate different operators and different tasks. The components include plural elongated handles (54) to accommodate different sized hands; plural headpieces (52), each having a transmission for driving an annular rotary blade (58) and identical means by which any of the handles (54) are attachable in a first orientation, and each differently constructed to support a replaceable blade housing (56) of predetermined size and construction different from housings supported by other headpieces, including a construction for angling the blade housing (56) and blade relative to the extending handle (54); adjustable thumb supporting pieces (60) for the handles; handle adapters (64) to reposition the handles; pistol grip handles; drive cable casing connectors (62); and replaceable blade housings (56) securable to the headpieces (52) for supporting replaceable rotary annular blades (58). The modular construction is designed to allow adjustment between or among parts to accommodate different physiologies of users and different modes of use and different tasks for which the assembled knife may be used. The handles (54) provided for the modular knife are of improved shape that reduces unwanted areas of pressure concentration on the gripping hand while at the same time providing as firm a grip as possible for a given gripping force. A method of selecting the proper handle size is provided.
摘要:
A glove having patterned polyurethane coating adhered to outer surface. The coating is about 1/32 inch high and about 1/16 inch wide to give the glove slip-resistant and gripping properties. The coating is formed from (a) a pre-mixed thixotropic component, a non-thixotropic component in a 2.5 to 1 ratio, and an accelerator, and (b) a cross-linking agent. The method of manufacturing the glove involves applying a mixture of (a) and (b) as a strip to the glove, allowing the strip of coating to wet the fibers and then curing at a low temperature for a relatively short period of time.
摘要:
Yarn and a knitted safety glove or other article made of the yarn (13), which has a core (10) of at least one strand (20) of high strength liquid crystal polymer fiber such as Vectran HS fiber surrounded by one (12) or two (12,14) wrappings of high strength synthetic fiber, preferably high strength liquid crystal polymer fiber such as Vectran HS fiber or high strength aramid fiber, or high strength stretched polyethylene fiber, or a combination of high strength fibers. One embodiment of the yarn includes a wire strand in the core. In one embodiment the fiber core strand (30) is of 200 to 1500 denier and has one to fifty filaments of 4 to 500 denier. In another embodiment, a second high strength synthetic core strand is included.

摘要:
Cut-resistant yarn suitable for machine knitting and machine-knitted protective articles of apparel, more specifically, flexible gloves, at least in part made from such a yarn and also such gloves having a slip-resistant coating, preferably polyurethane, applied in a predetermined pattern to the outside surface of the gloves. The yarn utilizes a core of synthetic fibers held in a bundle by two initial wraps of low denier synthetic material having widely spaced turns or by a plastic coating on, or by a plastic matrix for, the fibers. One or more strands of metal wire or glass fiber are disposed about the core. The initial wraps or plastic that bundle the core create a uniform, cylindrical shape to the multifilament fiber core that is believed to increase cut-resistance and that promotes uniformity in yarn diameter as subsequent wraps are applied, and prevent sharp bends in the wire or glass fibers disposed about the core. Additional wraps cover the wire or glass fiber.
