Abstract:
In an apparatus of this invention which applies refractory material in either wet or dry form onto the inner surface of a furnace, the improvement is characterized in that all the devices inevitable for the lining operation including an operator's seat are effectively mounted on the transport car thereof which can be steered readily in any direction around the furnace.Due to the above construction, the lining apparatus of this invention can conduct the spraying operation with great mobility and reliability.
Abstract:
A hydromassage device for use in jetting air and pressurized water into a pool of water and including eyeball means readily adjustable at the user's option to direct the issuing jet in different directions. Existing non-adjustable hydromassage devices can be retrofitted with the adjustable eyeball, or the adjustable eyeball may be mounted directly in a socket of the main body of the massage device as manufactured.
Abstract:
System for handling and applying a non-suspended refractory slurry to ingot stools used in the production of steel ingots, including an apparatus capable of selectively applying refractory slurry to ingot stools which receives slurry from a storage tank. An agitator is provided in the tank to continually agitate the slurry, and wet air is used to clean the lines carrying the slurry when they are not being used for application of slurry to prevent clogging.
Abstract:
The fixed joint of the swing diffuser assembly includes a tee connected to the gas supply line. The swing joint includes a second tee. The upper leg of the swing diffuser comprises dual parallel pipes having elbows turnable in the ends of the tees. The dual pipes together comprise the upper leg and with the two joints provide the structural rigidity which particularly allows the joints to be constructed of molded plastic and the pipe of reinforced resin.
Abstract:
Apparatus for adjustably disposing a shower head at any one of a plurality of different elevations while maintaining the shower head at a preselected angle. The mounting means includes a hollow elongated element and housing means for effecting the automatic adjustment of the shower head angle and for conducting shower water from a base member of the mounting means to the shower head.
Abstract:
GIANT ARTICLES ARE SOMETIMES SO SHAPED THAT THE ORIFICES TO BE SECURED TO THE NOZZLES OF A MULTI-NOZZLE INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE SHOULD DESIRABLY BE POSITIONED AT DIFFERENT DISTANCES FROM THE FRAME OF THE MOLDING MACHINE INSTEAD OF THE CONVENTIONAL UNIFORM DISTANCE. THREADABLE ADJUSTABLE MEMBERS PERMIT ADJUSTMENT OF LENGTH OF INJECTION NOZZLE THROUGHOUT A RANGE SUCH AS ONE CENTIMETER WITH A ZONE OF CLOSE TOLERANCE SLIDING CONTACT BEING LOCKED INTO NON-LEAKING AND NON-ROTATIONAL RELATIONSHIP BY THE ACTION OF RELATIVELY HIGH PLASTIC PRESSURE. SUCH PRESSURE INFLUENCED ZONE, A PLURALITY OF O-RINGS, AND WEEP HOLES PREVENT ANY PLASTIC FROM SWEEPING TO THE ADJUSTABLE THREADS. FURTHER MEMBERS WHICH CAN BE INSERTED AND SECURED BY COUPLERS FOR LENGTHENING A NOZZLE.
