Abstract:
A BULKHEAD OF IMPROVED IMPACT STRENGTH AND COMPRESSIVE LOADING PROPERTIES IS MOLDED IN PLACE DURING THE FABRICATION OF REPAIR OF A STREAMER CABLE ASSEMBLY. FABRICATION IN PLACE IS MADE POSSIBLE BY A SPLIT MOLD ASSEMBLY HAVING REMOVABLE SECTIONS AND EITHER SPLIT OR SOLID MANDRELS. THE BULKHEADS MAY ALSO BE FABRICATED AS A SEPARATE UNIT FOR USE IN OTHER APPLICATIONS.
Abstract:
A pickup head generates an output pulse for each ferrule and thus each product being sorted by a sorting machine. The train of pulses are fed to a shift register, whereby sensing a bad product causes the shift register to count down at a rate determined by the series of pulses. An ejector is triggered to eject the bad product when it is carried in register with an associated ejector.
Abstract:
Cylindrical cans each with one closed and one open end are metered one by one between a pair of differentially corotating driving wheels having resilient rims that grasp each can by the closed end and spin it against a rotating printing wheel so as to imprint a band of ink completely around the can; and the can is then discharged downwardly onto a ramp guide on which it rolls in the direction of spin, away from and out of the apparatus. The ramp guide includes levers activated by the can to inhibit metering of the cans into the apparatus if there is a stoppage and backing up of the can flow; and to meter a predetermined amount of ink to the printing wheel on passage of each can, so that just the right amount of ink is printed on, regardless of the rate of flow of the cans.
