Abstract:
A tool for forming an abradable coating in an aircraft turbine engine module, this module having an annular stator casing and a central rotor which can move inside the casing about an axis, wherein it has a first portion which is attached to the rotor, a second portion which includes at least one first trans-verse arm extending radially outwards and carrying spreading rollers, and a flywheel centered on the axis and configured to be rotated manually by an operator in order to rotate the tool and the rotor within the casing, so that the spreading rollers are capable of spreading a resin in order to form the coating.
Abstract:
A surface treatment device for applying a surface treatment to an inner surface of a hollow engine shaft extending longitudinally along a shaft axis and having an axial shaft length to be treated. The device includes a supply of a surface treatment agent and an elongated rod extending from a proximal end to a distal end with an applicator disposed at the distal end. The elongated rod is insertable inside the hollow engine shaft. An applicator is disposed at the distal end of the elongated rod and wetted with the surface treatment agent. The applicator is engageable with the inner surface of the hollow engine shaft for applying the surface treatment agent to the inner surface of the hollow engine shaft. A pair of markers are disposed on the elongated rod and axially spaced apart from one another at a first axial distance corresponding to the axial shaft length.
Abstract:
Sealant injection systems for injecting sealant into a cavity, the sealant injection systems including a sealant dispensing tip having a proximal end portion, a body portion, and a distal end portion that define a continuous channel to an aperture in the distal end portion for dispensing sealant material into a cavity, where the aperture is surrounded by a compressible material. The distal end portion may have a linear ridge defined on an end face, the aperture being asymmetrically provided relative to the ridge.
Abstract:
The method to radially displace liquid liner inside a pipe includes the step of flowing the liner around a distributive body placed within a pipe gas stream. As the gas streams past the distributive body, the liner coats the pipe homogeneously from top to bottom.
Abstract:
A nozzle assembly includes an inner tubular member having a closed end and an opposed open end for receiving a fluid from a source, at least one outlet extending radially through the inner tubular member proximate the closed end, wherein the closed end is configured for insertion into a bore defined by a sidewall in a work piece. The nozzle assembly further includes a slidably movable outer sleeve, having a distal end, disposed around the inner tubular member, wherein the distal end is configured for contact with an exterior edge portion of the bore. The outer sleeve is normally biased to a first position sealing the at least one outlet from the exterior, and slidably movable to a second position unsealing the at least one outlet upon contact with the edge portion of the bore as the closed end of the inner tubular member is inserted into the bore.
Abstract:
A two-component nozzle (200) for the pneumatic delivery of solid particulates is disclosed. The nozzle generally includes an inner conduit (210) for conveying solid particulates such as superabsorbent polymer particles and an outer conduit (220) for conveying an outer airflow that is directed via a foraminous plate (300) into the path of the solid particulates exiting the nozzle. The outer airflow improves the weight distribution of the solid particulates as they are deposited onto a substrate to form a composite material. The nozzle (200) can optionally deliver other components such as fluff, binders, and water in addition to the solid particulates. A production process for the composite material, suitable for inclusion in an absorbent articles, also is disclosed.
Abstract:
A method for coating the internal threads of a fastener includes a rotatable base for holding the fastener, and an applicator having a discharge orifice extending through its side wall which contacts the internal threads at a single point of tangency, the axis of the applicator being offset from the rotational axis of the base. Thus, an induced side load force is created at the point of tangency for effecting the pressing of discharged sealant into the roots of the threads. Differently sized internally threaded elements can be coated in accordance with the invention while using the same sealant applicator.
Abstract:
An apparatus to apply uniform amounts of adhesive to containers at a high rate of speed. Containers are selected at a variable interval. The containers are positioned against dual spiral timing screws (one timing screw above the other). Turning the timing screws a constant (but adjustable) number of degrees with respect to each other while they rotate at the same speed will either advance a container in a level position or they may be advanced while tilted, forward or backward depending upon the relative position of the upper and lower timing screw. While the container is advancing, it is also being turned so that the upper surfaces of the container may be positioned against a rotating cylinder to which a layer of adhesive is continuously applied. In this manner adhesive may be applied around the entire circumference of a container on the top, inside edge, outside edge or both edges.
Abstract:
An apparatus for the application of a protective coating to the welded or soldered seam of can bodies. Two driven rolls arranged in tandem or series apply a protective coating, typically in the form of a lacquer, to the seam of the cans or can bodies. One of the rolls covers the actual seam and the other roll covers the region neighboring the seam. Both effective regions of the rolls overlap laterally of the seam at critical locations where the protective coating is to be applied to the seams of the can.
