Abstract:
A method of assisting in the seaming of a papermaker's fabric using a seam assist device is disclosed. The seam assist device is comprised of two portions. Each portion having an attaching edge that is attached to a predetermined distance from the ends of the fabric by fitting spiral or loop elements into voids in the surface of the fabric and anchoring the elements using a binder or pintle. Connecting edges on each portion are then connected together, thereby causing the two attached ends of the fabric to be brought together for seaming.
Abstract:
A connector for conveyor belts and the like includes a plurality of connection elements disposed in a side-by-side relationship to extend across the end edge of an associated belt. Each of the connection elements includes outwardly disposed shank portions with free ends shaped for insertion into the opposite faces of the belt, and inwardly disposed loop-shaped center portions arranged to mesh with a like connector on the opposite end of the belt. A generally flat cover element has a central aperture through which the center portions of the connection elements are inserted, and is deformable for folding the cover element over the end edge of the belt and onto the opposite faces of the belt to cover the shank portions of the connection elements on both sides of the belt.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for facilitating the installation of a safety seat and device therefore. A thread through tool is provided to guide a seat belt. The thread through tool can be formed into a handle and a clasp in which the handle can be inserted through a safety seat and pulled, such that a seat belt clasped in a clasp portion of the tool will be more easily inserted through a proper installation path of a safety seat. The thread through tool can be fashioned from a semi-rigid strip with various portions adapted to form hinged portions and fastening areas strategically placed to facilitate formation of the tool from the strip. The fastening area can include hook and loop material or other easy fastening means.
Abstract:
The fastener comprises curved incorporated claws (4) serving to fix it to one end of a conveyor belt. The lower fixation plate of the fastener comprises curved raised edges (6) intended to make the points of the claws (4) enter under the small bars of ports (5) arranged by shearing and stamping in the lower fixation plate. The points of the claws (4) are locked along the lower front and back ridges (9) by the flattening of the small bars of the ports (5) during the final tightening of the fasteners during their fixation on the end of a conveyor belt.
Abstract:
An expandable monofilament pintle, either solid or hollow, that is inserted in a channel formed by a plurality of intermeshed loops at the ends of a papermaking fabric is expanded by means of exposure to either chemicals, high temperature, or some other form of triggering mechanism to pull the fabric ends closer together to form a tight seam.
Abstract:
An eyeglass holder for automobiles and the like to secure and hold eyeglasses in folded vertically aligned position engagement. The holder has a spring-urged engagement area accessible by depressing a portion of the holder. The engagement area receives and holds the eyeglasses between a fixed element and the movable access portion of the device.
Abstract:
An object of the invention is to provide a guide means for propelling a threading member for a flexible hinge pin through the interdigitated loops of belt fasteners in order to join belt ends together. A further object of the invention is to provide a method of threading the flexible hinge pin through the loops of the fasteners. One form of guide means for achieving these objects comprises a support plate for the underneath of the fasteners and a roller for contacting the top surface of the fasteners so as to act on an abutment on the threading member and so propel it through the loops, the roller being mounted at the trailing end of the guide means on an arm which is fixed to he support plate at the leading end of the guide means. Another form of guide means comprises one or more rollers for supporting the underneath of the fasteners and one or more rollers for contacting the top surface of the fasteners so as to act on the abutment of the threading member, the rollers being mounted at or adjacent to the trailing end of the guide means on arms extending from a body portion of the guide means. The guide means may be arranged to interdigitate the loops in advance of the threading member.
