    摘要: In an air lock for continuous introduction into and/or removal of workpieces from spaces (1, 4) separated atmospherically, the individual substrates (3, 13) are transported through a transfer channel (24). At least one lock chamber (7a-7m) serving to accommodate the substrates (3, 13) is arranged movably in the transfer channel (24). During the substrate transport in the transfer channel (24), the lock chamber (7a-7m) is atmospherically separated both from the exterior (1) having normal pressure and from the coating chamber (4). The air lock (2) includes a carrousel lock which has a carrousel housing (24) and a lock chamber wheel (10). On the periphery in the lock chamber wheel (10) individual lock chambers (7a-7m) are provided, in which the workpieces (3, 13) to be brought into the chamber to be loaded (4) are inserted freely accessible on the normal pressure side. By turning the lock chamber wheel (10), the substrates (3, 13) in the lock chambers (7a-7m) are transported from the coating station [sic; loading station] (A) to the transfer station (B) into the treatment chamber (4) diametrically opposite the normal pressure side. In the transfer station (B) the substrates (3, 13) are removed from the transfer channels (7a-7m) by means of a transfer device (17′) and are available for further treatment in the treatment chamber (4).

    摘要: For coating substrates (17,18,20,21,22) in a vacuum-coating chamber (2) the substrates are introduced by an air lock into the coating chamber (2) and moved along a transport path in front of the coating sources (50a,b,c,d) producing a coating cloud. To this end, the substrates (17,18,20,21,22) are led past the coating sources (50a,b,c,d) by means of holding devices (24) arranged movably on a transport belt (9) during at least two successive coating phases. During the one coating phase, the substrates (17,18,20,21,22) are oriented along one transport direction T.sub.3 oriented towards the coating sources (50a,b,c,d) such that essentially the substrate bottom of the cylindrical substrate is coated. During the subsequent second coating phase, the substrates are oriented in front of the coating sources (50a,b,c,d) in a direction T.sub.4 opposite the transport direction T.sub.3, wherein the substrates (17,18,20,21,22) are oriented such that essentially the cylindrical side surface is coated. By this method, the substrates (17,18,20,21,22) are coated successively in an identical manner and independently of possible substrate positions with relation to the coating sources (50a,b,c,d) during the coating process. Bottle-shaped containers, in particular, plastic bottles are vapor-coated with a gas- or fluid-barrier layer using the method. The coating sources (50a,b,c,d) include thermal vaporizers and/or plasma cathode sputter sources.

    摘要: A coating material to be evaporated in an evaporator cell disposed in a vacuum chamber is fed in the form of a wire to the evaporator cell in accordance with the depth of the molten bath, by a wire transport including a motor-driven shaft or roller and a counter-roller mounted on a movably journaled lever which in turn is movable via an electromagnetic actuator against the force of a spring means. A wire feed tube is arranged between the wire transport which draws fusible wire from a remote supply and feeds it to the evaporator boat where the wire is evaporated for coating a band-type substrate. The feed tube has a straight section which receives the wire concentrically from the transport and a gooseneck section toward said evaporator boat which twice deflects the wire to provide three points of contact with the inner wall of the tube, thus accurately positioning the wire while preventing clogging of the outlet orifice.

    摘要: A stationary support device for the drainage wire screen of a fiber web forming section. The cover ledge over which the drainage screen passes has a front edge which the screen passes and then the drainage surface beneath the wire screen diverges from the wire screen in the wire screen advancing direction. The cover ledge is of hard material. The front part of the cover ledge is supported by a support at a rigid pivot joint. The rearward part of the cover ledge is supported by wedge surface connections for permitting adjustment of the tilt orientation of the cover ledge with respect to the drainage wire. Leaf type clamping springs disposed between the cover ledge and the support, disposed rearwardly of the front joint and disposed forwardly of the wedge surface connections. The clamping leaf springs being connected to the cover ledge by tie rods at the center of the spring and to the support by tie rods at the ends of the springs. In an alternate embodiment, the clamping element is an expandable pressure hose connected at opposite sides by tie rods to the cover ledge and to the support. A ball and socket joint enables the slide disk and the wedge shaped angle inclination surfaces to seat together.

    摘要: The invention concerns a process and a circular knitting machine for the production of knit goods with combed-in fibers, in which an amount of fibers synchronous with the needle cylinder rotatory speed is fed to a teasing cylinder rotating at high speed, transferred by the latter to the comb-in zone, and taken from the needles in the comb-in zone without contacting the teasing cylinder. To prevent the development of areas overfilled with fibers or short of fibers in the finished knit goods on account of the contact-less fiber feed, during or before abrupt reductions or increases in the rotatory speed of the needle cylinder, at least temporarily smaller or larger amounts of fibers are fed to the comb-in zone than corresponds to the synchronous amount of fibers.

Two continuous-loop forming wires wrap about the forming cylinder and pulp is discharged through the nozzle into a gap formed by the two wires. A method of operation of the wet forming section includes the step of swiveling both the head box nozzle and an inlet roll (upon which one of the wires is wrapped) around the forming cylinder in a circular arc.

    摘要: An evaporator boat for an apparatus for coating substrates in a vacuum coating chamber consists of a shallow, trough-shaped piece of an electrically conductive material, the boat being heated by direct passage of current through it. The evaporator boat has an elongate hexagonal plan, the configuration of the recess within the boat for containing the material to be evaporated corresponding approximately to that of the boat. Lengthwise opposed ends of the evaporator boat are provided each with an approximately rectangular, perpendicular flat area. The flat areas together form two directly opposed parallel clamping surfaces of the evaporator boat so that when the evaporator boat is heated, two active evaporating zones form on both sides of the point of contact between the delivered wire and the evaporator boat.
