Abstract:
A conveying system for supporting rods in a festoon steamer in which a web of material is suspended in loops upon said rods which are travelling upon a horizontal track, a feed-in mechanism being provided at the entrance of the track for gradually advancing the rods and a second mechanism being operative at the end of the track for discharging one by one the advanced rods.
Abstract:
An endless conveyor for a festoon steamer, said conveyor serving for the movement of support rods for vertically hanging loops of a textile web, in which a portion of the path of the conveyor consists of a horizontal track; the extremities of the supporting rods are carried in support members from the conveyor and are deposited on the beginning of this track. The same rods are picked up again at the end of the track by said conveyor; The support members each contain two movable bolts for locking the supporting rods. A double cam at both ends of the track serves for actuating the locking bolts independently of each other.
Abstract:
A device for cutting slabs from a block of a weak material, such as not yet entirely solidified cellular concrete, comprising a revolvable cage into which the block lying upon a trolley is introduced; the cage is than rolled sidewardly and turned over 90* such that the block is resting upon a second trolley locked in the cage after which one or more cutting wires are passed through the block; finally the second trolley with the slabs is discharged and the cage is turned back 90*, so as to repeat the cycle.
Abstract:
Planes parallel to the upstanding sides of the block, is performed subsequent to a tilting movement around a line parallel to an edge of the bottom of the block by means of an auxiliary supporting surface with at least one cutting wire lying upon said surface.
Abstract:
A device for making a transverse cut between the tail and the anus of the body of a bird which is suspended by its legs from a conveyor track. The device has a cutting disk and a support which can tilt the device about a first horizontal axis and about a second axis, above and parallel to the first axis. Two guide members are connected to the support. The first guide member is in the proximity of the cutting disk and at a short distance above the lower edge of the disk and the second guide member being spaced downwardly from the first guide.
Abstract:
A screen printing machine for multi-color printing on a web which is advanced horizontally on a supporting blanket includes parallel frame halves across which are mounted bridges. Each bridge has stencil holders for journaling the ends of cylindrical thin-walled screen stencils with there being one bridge for each stencil and the bridges extending parallel to the respective stencils. At least one end of a stencil is provided with a gear which meshes with a driving gear mounted in the frame half and protruding upwardly therefrom. The bridge is mounted on a frame half by means of a structure which permits adjustment of the bridge vertically longitudinally and transversely thereof so as to position accurately the stencil with respect to the advancing web.
Abstract:
A BASE IN THE FORM OF AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE CYLINDER IS PROVIDED WITH A SCREEN OF ELECTRICALLY INSULATED SPOTS TO FORM A DESIRED PATTERN. THROUGH AN ELECTROCHEMICAL PROCESS, A METALLIC LAYER OF THE DESIRED THICKNESS IS DEPOSITED UPON THE BASE BUT THE SPOTS REMAIN UNCOVERED WITH METAL. THE OUTER DIAMETER OF THE BASE CYLINDER IS REDUCED TO FACILITATE THE REMOVAL OF THE METAL LAYER THEREFROM. THE METAL LAYER WILL BE THE DESIGNED STENCIL.
Abstract:
A festoon steamer comprising a set of supporting rods travelling through a closed circuit with a horizontal track in which the web is hanging down in loops from said rods, the loops being consecutively formed in a portion of the circuit ahead of said horizontal track and each loop being only picked up by a rod after its completion.
Abstract:
A SCREEN PRINTING MACHINE HAS A PLURALITY OF CYLINDRICAL THIN-WALLED SCREEN STENCILS THE ENDS OF WHICH ARE SUPPORTED IN STENCIL HOLDERS MOUNTED ON A BRIDGE EXTENDING ACROSS THE FRAME HALVES OF THE MACHINE WITH THERE BEING A BRIDGE FOR EACH STENCIL. AN INNER SQUEEGE FOR DYE PASTE IS ADJUSTABLE WITH RESPECT TO THE STENCIL AND IS MOUNTED IN SUSPENSION SUPPORTS AT BOTH ENDS OF THE STENCIL. EACH BRIDGE IS PARALLEL TO ITS RESPECTIVE STENCIL AND THE STENCIL HOLDERS AND SUSPENSION SUPPORTS ARE SLIDEABLY AND LOCKINGLY MOUNTED ON THE BRIDGE. AT LEAST ONE DRIVE GEAR IS DRIVINGLY CONNECTED THROUGH A MATING GEAR ON EACH STENCIL WITH THE DRIVE GEARS PROTRUDING THROUGH THE UPPER SURFACE OF A FRAME HALF AND ALL THE DRIVE GEARS BEING DRIVINGLY CONNECTED TO A SINGLE DRIVE SHAFT MOUNTED IN A FRAME HALF AND DRIVEN FROM A SINGLE MOTOR.
Abstract:
A device for feeding containers such as bottles, jars or tins into continuously advancing carriers of a conveyor for a sterilizer, said device comprising an intermediate transfer member, the containers being advanced in a row upon two or more parallel supply paths, thereafter pushed in transverse direction upon said transfer member which moves between a containerreceiving position and a container-delivering position, said containers finally being transferred to a carrier.
