Abstract:
Coat-in-place assemblies and methods to provide an aesthetically pleasing sprinkler assembly. A coat-in-place assembly includes a sprinkler body having a proximal portion and a distal portion, a thermally responsive trigger disposed adjacent the distal portion; and an escutcheon centered about the distal portion of the sprinkler body to define a void between the sprinkler axis and the escutcheon. A coating-inhibiting-cap encloses and protects the thermally responsive trigger between the sprinkler body and the cap. The cap extends into the void and is radially spaced inward relative to the escutcheon so as expose surfaces of the escutcheon for coating.
Abstract:
A method and a system are provided to form deletion windows on a glass substrate. The method includes the steps of applying a provisional masking substance of the glass substrate for masking predetermined regions of said glass substrate. The method also includes applying a reflective material on the glass substrate including the provisional masking substance. The method further includes applying heat to the glass substrate for removing the provisional masking substance of the glass substrate forming the deletion windows.
Abstract:
A shadow mask having two or more levels of openings enables selective step coverage of micro-fabricated structures within a micro-optical bench device. The shadow mask includes a first opening within a top surface of the shadow mask and a second opening within the bottom surface of the shadow mask. The second opening is aligned with the first opening and has a second width less than a first width of the first opening. An overlap between the first opening and the second opening forms a hole within the shadow mask through which selective coating of micro-fabricated structures within the micro-optical bench device may occur.
Abstract:
To prevent a height difference from being produced between a metal sheath and a paint layer formed on a vane surface of a vane body. A coating apparatus includes a jig (10) adapted to support a guide vane (V) equipped with a metal sheath (S) for covering a leading edge portion (LE); a nozzle (4) adapted to spray paint onto a vane body (Va); a robot (5) adapted to move the nozzle; and a control unit (6) adapted to control a spraying operation of the nozzle (4) and robot (5). The jig (10) includes a movable covering body (15) adapted to separably cover the metal sheath (S) and cover an exposed portion (Ta) of adhesive between a lateral edge portion (Sr) of the metal sheath (S) and the vane surface (Vd) of the vane body (Va), and a covering body drive unit (20) adapted to move the movable covering body (15) between a state in which the movable covering body (15) covers the metal sheath (S) and a state in which the movable covering body (15) is separated from the metal sheath (S) while covering the metal sheath (S). The control unit (6) performs control to make transition from a sheath cladding coating mode to a finish coating mode.
Abstract:
A rotary atomizing head (4) is mounted on a front end side of an air motor (3). A shaping air ring (9) with air spout holes (10, 11) formed therein is provided on the rear side of the rotary atomizing head (4). The shaping air ring (9) is formed of a conductive material and is connected to ground. External electrode units (13) are provided in the periphery of the rotary atomizing head (4). A film cover (17) made of an insulating material is provided to cover an outer peripheral side of the air motor (3). A semi conductive member (21) is replaceably mounted to an adaptor (16) provided on an outer peripheral side of the shaping air ring (9). A rear end part (21B) of the semi conductive member (21) is made in contact with a front end part (19D) of the film cover (17). A front end part (21C) of the semi conductive member (21) is made in contact with the shaping air ring (9).
Abstract:
An organic layer deposition apparatus, and a method of manufacturing an organic light-emitting display device using the organic layer deposition apparatus. The organic layer deposition apparatus includes: an electrostatic chuck (600) that fixedly supports a substrate (500) that is a deposition target; a deposition unit (730) including a chamber (731) maintained at a vacuum and an organic layer deposition assembly (100) for depositing an organic layer (63) on the substrate (500) fixedly supported by the electrostatic chuck (600); and a first conveyer unit (610) for moving the electrostatic chuck (600) fixedly supporting the substrate (500) into the deposition unit (730), wherein the first conveyer unit (610) passes through inside the chamber (731), and the first conveyer unit (610) includes a guide unit (614) having a receiving member for supporting the electrostatic chuck (600) to be movable in a direction.
Abstract:
Aspects hereof relate to a holding fixture for holding portions of a shoe during painting. The fixture has a lower jig and an upper jig. The lower jig has an outer wall from which a contacting surface extends. The contacting surface is sized to apply a compressive force to the midsole along a desired paint line, and prevents paint from moving onto the midsole below the contacting surface. The top jig has a lower surface configured to be placed in contact with the top surface of the midsole when the midsole is held in the lower jig and is shaped to apply a downward and outward force on the midsole at an edge defined by the top surface of the midsole and the outer perimeter surface of the midsole, to thereby prevent paint from moving onto the top surface of the shoe portion.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for coating a partial area of a workpiece. The invention proceeds from a method in which a screening element (15, 19) is arranged on the workpiece (10) in order to delimit the partial area to be coated. According to the invention, the screening element (15, 19) is magnetic at least during an application of a magnetisable coating material in order to allow simple and hence inexpensive coating of a partial area of a workpiece. The screening element (15, 19) is demagnetised to remove the accumulated coating material. The coating material accumulated on the screening element (15, 19) can thereby be removed very simply and quickly, and hence inexpensively.
