摘要： The clamp serves to position the mouth of an air duct against the surface of the exhaust manifold of an automotive engine so that hot air may be drawn into the duct. The clamp is a spring steel strap of U shape with shoulders at midlength of the limbs. Endwise of the shoulders the arms converge in a vee to accommodate various shapes of manifold pipes. The U neck of the clamp fits within the throat of the air duct, holding it by expansion, while the arms hold the exhaust manifold by contraction. The complete kit includes the clamp, an air duct, and a cover to enhance the collection of hot air. The kit serves to restore the hot air collection function in older vehicles which have lost original parts.

摘要： A method and apparatus for automatically applying a flying splicing tape to a roll of sheet material. The roll of sheet material is defined by a width and includes an outer-most layer. With this in mind, the method includes lifting a portion of the outer-most layer away from a remainder of the roll. The lifted portion is then cut to form a leading edge that is otherwise spaced from a remainder of the wound roll. To this end, the cut is made at a defined spacial location along the outer-most layer such that the leading edge is radially aligned with a defined application line relative to a circumference on the wound portion of the roll. In other words, when the outer-most portion is subsequently wound back onto the roll, the leading edge will be aligned with the defined application line. The splicing tape is then applied to the wound portion of the roll at the defined application line, such that the splicing tape extends across at least a portion of the width of the roll. In one preferred embodiment, the splicing tape is applied in a straight fashion relative to an axis of the roll. Finally, the leading edge is adhered to an outer surface of the splicing tape. More particularly, the leading edge is positioned relative to the splicing tape such that the outer-most layer covers a first section of the splicing tape, whereas a second section of the splicing tape remains exposed. In another preferred embodiment, the applied splicing tape is cut to form a trailing end that is substantially aligned with a side of the roll.

摘要翻译： 一种用于将飞行拼接带自动应用于片材卷的方法和装置。 片材卷由宽度限定并且包括最外层。 考虑到这一点，该方法包括提升最外层的一部分远离辊的其余部分。 然后将抬起的部分切割成形成与剩余卷绕辊隔开的前缘。 为此，在沿着最外层的限定的空间位置处进行切割，使得前缘相对于辊的卷绕部分上的圆周与限定的施加线径向对准。 换句话说，当最外面的部分随后被卷回到卷上时，前缘将与限定的施加线对齐。 然后，在限定的施加线上将接合带施加到辊的卷绕部分，使得拼接带延伸穿过辊的宽度的至少一部分。 在一个优选实施例中，接合带以相对于辊的轴线的直线方式施加。 最后，前缘附着在拼接带的外表面上。 更具体地，前缘相对于拼接带定位，使得最外层覆盖拼接带的第一部分，而拼接带的第二部分保持暴露。 在另一个优选实施例中，将所施加的拼接带切割成与所述卷的侧面基本对准的后端。

摘要： An alignment and latching apparatus for a drive mechanism for data tape mini-cartridges. The alignment and latching apparatus enables the drive to use a new mini-cartridge while retaining backward compatibility with older smaller mini-cartridges. The mini-cartridges have a plastic top cover and a rigid metal baseplate. For some embodiments, an alignment datum is defined by three reference points on the bottom of the mini-cartridge baseplate. In other embodiments, the alignment datum is split with two reference points on the top of the baseplate and one reference point on bottom of the baseplate. Alignment and latching forces are applied on both the plastic cover and onto the baseplate. In some embodiments, alignment force on the top cover is provided by flat springs. In alternative embodiments, alignment force on the top cover is provided by spring loaded rollers. Alignment force on the baseplate is provided by rollers or cam surfaces, pushing upward if a split datum is required and downward if a bottom surface datum is required.
