摘要:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for making sheets from reinforced elastomeric ribbon. The apparatus has a lead-in mechanism on which the ribbon is received for preliminary orientation. The apparatus also employs a transfer mechanism that incorporates a shuttle head which is supported by a primary carrier disposed over the assembly mechanism. The shuttle head is capable of being protracted from its normal position over the assembly mechanism to a position over the lead-in mechanism where it is also engaged by a stabilizing carrier which assures precise orientation of the shuttle head during its operative movements with respect to the lead-in mechanism. So stabilized the shuttle head: engages and grasps the ribbon presented by the lead-in mechanism; raises the ribbon off the lead-in mechanism; retracts to position the ribbon above the assembly mechanism; and, accurately deposits the ribbon on the assembly mechanism. A guillotine mechanism severs the incremental strip deposited on the assembly table from the ribbon. After the shuttle head disengages from the incremental strip the guillotine mechanism is moved out of contact with the incremental strip so that the incremental strip can be transferred laterally by an indexing mechanism to the degree required for receipt of a successive incremental strip without inadvertent interference between the strip, or strips, being indexed and the guillotine. To achieve indexing the assembly mechanism employs a continuous belt that is accurately indexed by a unique arrangement of interacting brake and transport clamps. For most purposes, successive strips will be deposited in continguous, lateral juxtaposition, and in order that the successive strips stick together a stitcher is provided to cycle a stitching roller along the abutting edges of successively deposited incremental strips.

A rinsing device having a plurality of rinse modules, each of which has at least one circular turret adapted to transport containers through the rinsing device. The turrets are arranged to rotate about a substantially horizontal axis, the axis being offset from the horizontal by an angle sufficient to ensure drainage of cleaning fluid from the containers under the influence of gravity. The containers are preferably supported around the periphery of the turret with their longitudinal axes parallel to the axis of rotation of the turret.

The present invention relates to apparatus for edging reinforced elastomeric fabric and a preferred method for the operation thereof. One embodiment of apparatus includes a frame, a table for support of the elastomeric fabric, at least one extruder assembly adjacent the table for the application of a suitable elastomeric material directly onto an edge of the elastomeric fabric and means for moving the elastomeric fabric over the table. In an alternate embodiment, the apparatus includes a frame, means for support of the elastomeric fabric and at least one extruder assembly adjacent the means for support for the application of a suitable elastomeric material directly onto an edge of the elastomeric fabric. The preferred method includes the steps of passing the elastomeric fabric over the means for support, extruding the elastomeric material through the head and imparting a first edge therein compatible with an edge of the elastomeric fabric and joining the extruded material to an edge of the elastomeric fabric by forcing the material into substantially all of the exposed surfaces thereof.

A contact glass composition for use in resistor-type spark plugs is described. The contact glass composition is a mixture of: (a) at least one metal; (b) graphite; and (c) silicon. Additionally, borosilicate glass, barium borate glass, magnesium aluminum silicate, ball clay, and aluminum may also be included in the contact glass composition.

A technique for correcting wavefront aberrations introduced by large primary optical elements in portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The aberrations of the primary element are first transferred to a beacon beam and this aberrated beam is interfered with a reference beam in a holographic medium. These beams are then turned off and a beam from a distant object, containing the same aberrations, is allowed to diffract from the hologram. The diffracted beam from the hologram contains the image of the distant object with aberrations removed. Use of this technique permits the construction of large optical elements inexpensively, since surface tolerances of the elements can be substantially relaxed.
