摘要:
A process and apparatus are provided for the application of a fluoropolymer coating to the threads of an internally threaded fastener. The fastener has a body and a threaded bore extending to opposing ends of the body to define opposing first and second openings in the fastener. The fastener is moved on a conveyor along a path of travel with its threaded bore in a predetermined orientation. As the fastener moves along its path of travel, the first opening is closed by means of an obstructing member, while an air stream carrying entrained fluoropolymer powder is directed from a nozzle through the second opening and into the threaded bore. The nozzle is stationary and is located at an axially displaced position relative to the second opening of the fastener and immediately adjacent the conveyor. Preferably, the nozzle includes a diffuser which directs the air stream and entrained fluoropolymer powder into the fastener bore in a diverging pattern. After the fluoropolymer powder is deposited onto the threads of the fastener, the conveyor moves the fastener through a heating station where the fluoropolymer powder is raised to its melting temperature causing it to melt and fuse into a generally continuous film covering the fastener's threads.

The personal care article comprises a single chamber package and a personal care product. The package comprises a dispensing orifice, a first zone, a second zone and a third zone that are located proximal, medial and distal to the dispensing orifice. The personal care product comprises a first, a second and a third personal care composition with a first, second, and third concentration of hydrophobic benefit material. The first, second, and third personal care compositions are substantially within the first, second and third zones. The personal care product comprises a second concentration that is greater than the first and third concentration of hydrophobic benefit material. The personal care product is sequentially dispensed, such that, the first personal care composition is capable of being substantially dispensed prior to the second and third personal care compositions and the second is capable of being substantially dispensed prior to the third personal care composition.
摘要:
An apparatus for applying a coating to the head-shank junction of externally threaded fasteners in an automated fashion. The fasteners are positioned, head down, on rotating part holders positioned about the periphery of a rotating disc. The part holders may be magnetic or other forms, and are adapted to maintain the fasteners in a generally fixed position during their movement. The fasteners are pre-heated at a heating station during their rotational movement on the disc. A dispenser is then used to apply the coating to the articles, in timed sequence to the movement of the articles. In this fashion, a coating can be applied to selected portions of the entire periphery of the head-shank junction. A method for applying a coating to the head-shank junction of externally threaded fasteners in an automated fashion also forms part of the present invention.
摘要:
A fastener, and a process and apparatus for coating fasteners, in which a resin type material is applied to the fastener is disclosed. A stream of resin type material is directed to each fastener and the threads of each of the fasteners, the threads may be covered over an arcuate variable length including complete 360.degree. coverage. The resin type material applied may be a masking material, a lubricating material and/or an insulating material enabling an accurate and consistent torque-tension characteristic to be maintained during coupling of the fastener in a variety of post-processing environments. Furthermore, the resin type material applied to the fastener is substantially resistant to the deposition of corrosion resistant or preventative materials.
摘要:
This invention describes self-locking threaded fasteners having a patch or patches of fused high-temperature-resistant resin adhered to a portion of the threads, providing self-locking capabilities at temperatures above 400.degree. F., well beyond the range of temperatures attainable using prior art patch materials such as nylon. A process for making such fasteners by spraying finely-divided high-temperature-resistant resin powder onto the threads of a fastener also is claimed.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for applying locking material to an area of a fastener adapted for internal threading. The apparatus includes a support structure for moving a succession of internally threadable fasteners with support structure recesses positioning the fasteners for treatment. The fastener opening is filled with locking material and the fastener heated to soften the locking material and cause adherence to the internal walls of the fastener. A clearance pin can be used to selectively clear a passageway through the locking material either before or after the heating step. A gas pressure source directs a gas stream toward the opening of the fastener to form a passageway through the locking material attached to the fastener.
