Abstract:
A monolithic conveyor belt structure comprising an elongate, substantially planar base belt having a pair of integrally formed, flexible, fabric reinforced, longitudinal sidewalls protruding from its top face. The integral construction prevents delamination of the sidewalls from the base belt, and the fabric reinforcement in the sidewalls strengthens the sidewalls against deterioration due to repeated flexure of the belt, and due to contact with pulleys, turn disks, sliding surfaces, etc. The belt may include cleats between the sidewalls, such as transverse paddles or upstanding nubs, to assist in conveying material on very steep inclines.
Abstract:
A system for covering and supporting a conveyor belt system. The conveyor belt system is supported in large measure by a structural support tube. The structural support tube is simply a tube or pipe of the conventional type. Disposed through the center of the tube are a plurality of internal support pipes. In turn, auxiliary support pipes, smaller in diameter than the internal support pipes, may traverse the interior of the internal support pipe and extend out either end. Attached to the auxiliary support pipes is a conventional belt conveyor system. The belt conveyor system is, in turn, enclosed by a top cover and a lower enclosure. All of the parts are held securely together using readily available materials such as angle iron. The present invention is extremely flexible providing the capability of easily constructing 40, 60, 80 and 120 foot spans of conveyor system. In addition, it is possible to provide an open conveyor, a partially enclosed conveyor, or a totally enclosed conveyor. The parts used in the device are interchangeable, conventional, and are easily shipped and assembled.
Abstract:
An apparatus for removing bulk materials from a laterally enclosed storage area wherein the apparatus may be substantially buried within the bulk material (11). The apparatus includes a support column (16) mounted at a base into a support floor (25). An auger (17) is attached with an axial mount at the base of the support column for enabling rotational declination of the auger from (i) a vertical orientation wherein the auger is nearly parallel with the vertical axis of the support column, (ii) through intermediate angles of declination (54), to (iii) a substantially horizontal orientation (55) wherein the auger is adjacent to the support floor. The suspension cable (61) is coupled between the support column and auger to enable selective adjustment of auger declination. A rotational displacement drive (35) is coupled to the support column to rotate the column about its vertical axis, along with the attached auger. A rotational drive motor (51) is mounted at a distal end of the auger. Rotation of the auger, along with revolution of the support column provide for progressive removal of conical layers of surface material with each 360 degree revolution. Continued declination to the horizontal level enables the total volume of the storage area to be out loaded. A torque assist device (60) is coupled at the distal end of the auger (17) and includes a moving track (61) or circular rim configured to engage the bulk material to thereby provide a tangential, forward force to the auger (17).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to new phosphonous acid derivatives, especially to .alpha.-amino-phosphonous acids and processes for their production. The new phosphonous acids are valuable chemotherapeutica in the treatment of pathogenic bacteria, gram-negative bacteria and yeast.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an aqueous process for reducing particle size of organic pigments by milling the crude pigment in the presence of a water soluble styrene copolymer dispersant, optionally a defoamer, optionally an additive, and greater than about 10 wt. % water, and isolating the organic pigment.
Abstract:
An enclosed granular or powdered material storage reclaimer, having a floor, a vertical column at the center of the floor, conveyor means disposed below the floor, elongate transfer device hingedly attached to the column, an anchor pedestal for anchoring the bottom end of the column to a footing structure below, and a downwardly directed annular opening formed in the center of the floor, said opening having an inside wall and an outside wall, said annular opening being concentric with the vertical axis of the column and designed to receive granular or powdered material transported there by the elongate transfer device, such that the column may be directly supported by the anchor pedestal and the footing structure, and the conveyor means need not be located directly beneath the center of the column. Such an enclosed granular or powdered material storage reclaimer wherein the conveyor means comprises an air slide conveyor. Such an enclosed granular or powdered material storage reclaimer wherein the floor is sloped downward and away from its center.
Abstract:
A pigmented thermoplastic resin composition comprising:(A) a thermoplastic resin;(B) a metal phthalocyanine pigment; and(C) 0.5 to 30% by weight, based on the weight of the pigment (B), as agent imparting heat stability to component (B), of a sulphonated imidomethyl phthalocyanine having the formula I: ##STR1## wherein Pc is a phthalocyanine residue optionally substituted by up to 4 chlorine or bromine atoms;M is hydrogen or a metal capable of forming a metal phthalocyanine;m is a vlaue within the range of from 0.05 to 1.0;n is a value within the range of from 0.1 to 4.0; andX is a residue such that, in combination with the group ##STR2## it form a 5-, 6- or 7-membered cyclic imide.
Abstract:
A mullion system includes a universal reinforcement key, that joins window frame members and when anchored in a window frame opening or against other window frame joining members, contributes to bearing the load on the window frame unit. The system also includes a mull strip member with end caps designed to weep moisture away from and out of the window frame unit.
Abstract:
A power director enables a user to apply power through one or more power outlets via one or more switches to a cluster of electrical devices, for example, the components of a desk top computer system. A typical computer system may have a CPU chassis, monitor, printer, CD-ROM and a document scanner each of which may have its own power line cord. The housing of the current power director has internal storage spaces or bays for coiling the excess portions of the power cords of the various computer components to eliminate the tangled mess associated with such systems. The electrical outlets are located in a component bay within the housing separate from but adjacent to the line cord storage bay to be accessible to the plugs of the line cords of the electrical devices sought to be controlled. The component bay contains a first printed circuit board (PCB) which carries the electrical outlets and a second PCB that contains an electrical surge protection circuit, a fault isolation circuit and the switches. The first and second PCBs are initially manufactured as a single PCB having a V-shaped groove which permits the single PCB to be broken into the first and second PCB parts, by hand, prior to installation in the component bay. The power director housing is able to support the weight of a 70 pound electrical device, such as a computer monitor, on its top surface.
