Abstract:
Carpet material with at least a proportion of uncleaned used carpets is shredded to form a fiber-like wooly mass. The carpet material contains a thermoplastic binder with a low melting point, for example polypropylene, which can be derived from the used carpets or be added. On at least one side of the carpet material, a cover layer of wood chips is provided. The carpet material, together with the layers of the adhesive-coated wood chips which form the cover layers, is compressed to form the molded part or panel, at a temperature which lies above the plasticizing point of the thermoplastic binder, but below the plasticizing point of any other thermoplastic components of the carpet material.
Abstract:
A device for applying a treatment medium, especially in foam form, to a running web of material, especially a rug web, with an application beam extending transversely to the web of material, the application beam having a longitudinal slot, through which the treatment medium emerges onto the web of material. On the side opposite the slot an elastic cushion which presses the web of material against the sliding surface of the application beam is arranged on the back of the web of material. The cushion may be an inflatable elastic hollow body or a foam material cushion.
Abstract:
In order to pattern a web using a method for applying a liquid to the moving web on which a cohesive liquid shroud falling on the web from above is interrupted in a pattern, a fluid medium is blown transversely against the falling shroud to displace portions thereof without affecting its cohesiveness.
Abstract:
A method for pretreating a staple-fiber carpet yarn (5) before it is processed to make a carpet, in order to reduce the hairiness and fuzz accumulation associated with such yarns. The surface of the carpet yarn (5) is exposed for a brief time to the action of a temperature which is very high relative to the characteristic temperatures of the carpet yarn material. This can be carried out in a singe burner (100) through which the carpet-yarn threads (5) are guided in their lengthwise direction.

Abstract:
In order to achieve improved flow properties for a flushing medium charged with rock particles freed during the drilling phase, an injection drilling anchor is provided with anchor rods, coupling members, injection valves, an intermediate member containing a non-return valve, as well as drill head, which are designed such that these components are connected one to the other below one another always by screw fittings, so that in the assembled state one has a fully homogeneous structure from the drill head upwards. The drill head has an external thread extending uniformly over the full length and consequently has a uniform diameter, so that after drilling has taken place, starting from the mouth of the borehole, a spacer can be pushed within the borehole along the full length of the borehole over the anchor rods to any desired point. The anchor rods are provided over their full length with a uniform internal threading, sot hat a cutting to a particular length does not hinder their utility for use in the framework of the injection drilling anchor. The coupling members, the injection valves, intermediate member and the drill head for this purpose comprise tubular cylinders which correspond in terms of their internal and eternal threading with the anchor rods and which each have a stop function for the positional screwing together of the parts.
Abstract:
A rock anchor consists of a body member formed as a drilling-rod (1), which at one end carries a drill-head (2) and has externally over its whole length a coarse thread, for example an approximately round thread (3). The drill-head (2) is welded to the drilling-rod (1). The drilling-rod (1) has only at its forward region, that is adjacent the drill-head (2) peripheral bores (6), whereby the aforesaid forward region, from the drill-head (2), extend over a length of at most 20 cm. The bores (6) extend at an angle to the axis of the drilling-rod (1), namely, from inside to outside in a direction from the drill-head (2). This rock anchor serves simultaneously for making a drilling, whereby the tubular body member serves for the supply of the hydraulic fluid, which passes into the bore-hole via an hydraulic bore (5) in the drill-head (2) and the aforesaid peripheral bores (6) and passes back to the outside of the drilling-rod (1) with the drilling fines produced. After completion of the drilling a mortar suspension under pressure is injected via the aforementioned body member, which likewise flows via the bores (6), so that the borehole is gradually filled with the mortar base of the borehole. The rock anchor according to the invention has considerable structural simplicity and likewise is simple to handle, so that broken rock can readily be stabilized by means of it.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for applying a pattern to a continuously advancing web with a foam containing treatment medium. The pattern may be generated in the foam prior to or after the foam is transferred to the web. In one embodiment, the pattern is generated using two foam feeding devices arranged to form a patterned layer on a revolving element positioned over the web. The forward velocity of the web and the speed of rotation of the revolving element are controlled to obtain the desired pattern effect on the web.
Abstract:
An expansion plug has at least one tensioning member, an expansion means formed by a system of at least two expansion tubes encircling the tensioning member and fitted one within another, each of the expansion tubes being provided with a series of slots which are equally spaced in a circumferential direction to retain peripheral sections of the expansion tubes between the slots, the slots extending over a part of a length of the expansion tubes, the tensioning member and the at least two expansion tubes being dimensioned and shaped so that by inserting an axial relative movement the peripheral sections are radially expanded in order to achieve an anchoring effect, the slots of the at least two expansion tubes having a shape which is helical in relation to an axis of a respective one of the expansion tubes, the slots having a slope such that the slope of radially adjacent ones of the expansion tubes are of mutually opposite hand, the expansion tubes being arranged to be non-rotatable relative to one another.
Abstract:
Carpet material with at least a proportion of uncleaned used carpets is shredded to form a fiber-like wooly mass. The carpet material contains a thermoplastic binder with a low melting point, for example polypropylene, which can be derived from the used carpets or be added. Furthermore, a duroplastically hardening binder, for example phenolic resin, is added to the carpet material. The carpet material is compressed to form the molded part or panel with these two binders, at a temperature which lies above the plasticizing point of the thermoplastic binder, but below the plasticizing point of any other thermoplastic components of the carpet material.
