A pneumatic yarn splicer comprises a splicer body (6) which defines a splicing chamber in which yarns to be spliced are disposed. The chamber has an open side and open ends, and comprises a first portion (16) extending from one end and merging with a second portion (18) extending from the other end. A pad is provided for closing the open side of the chamber, and a port (10) in the chamber wall nor...

The device delivers a sheet stack (1) to a table from which the individual sheets are fed via a separation device, using a transport carriage (4) for delivering the sheet-stack to a delivery point (7). The transport carriage has a stop rail on the opposite side to the stack insertion side and a perpendicular stop rail on the opposite side to the stack delivery point. The drive for movement of the ...

A centrifuge apparatus which comprises a container (10) including a cylindrical member (11) with a lower rim and a piston member with a tubular piston rod (12). A supporting turntable (1) with a first gripping means (27) releasably grips the lower rim when the container (10) is placed thereon, said supporting turntable (1) being connected with a first activating means (5) for rotating the turntabl...

A labeling machine can rapidly change the size of labels cut from a web of labels to match different diameter containers which are then fed onto containers moving along a conveyor. A labeling drum is positioned adjacent to the conveyor for receiving cut labels and applying them onto containers fed along the conveyor. A cutter assembly is positioned adjacent to the labeling drum for receiving a web...

A non-foil composite laminate for an improved container providing an effective barrier for the containment of essential oils and prevention of losses of vitamin C. The non-foil composite laminate comprises an inner barrier layer of amorphous nylon and outer layers of heat sealable olefin polymer, facilitating manufacture while retaining desirable barrier properties.

This invention relates to a cementitious material containing a water-soluble (or water-dispersible) polymer, the material having high flexural strength and improved resistance to water and to environmental conditions, and being prepared by treatment with carbonating agents in the presence of water.

The container in thermoformable and heat sealable material including a hollow casing consisting of a pair of valves (2) joined together by heat sealing along the edge in correspondence with an essentially median longitudinal plane has at least one indentation (5) in its base in which is located the bottom horizontal portion (4) of the heat seal (3); the method for the manufacture of containers inc...

The present invention relates to a process for washing a container, especially a food or drink container, of the bottle type, and intended to be re-employed, especially for a use with foodstuffs, in which: the reusable container is made of a homopolymer or a copolymer or a mixture of polymers, which is transparent and which has an average degree of crystallinity higher than 30%, the thickness of t...

A cement admixture which when added to a cement composition, such as cement mortar or concrete inhibits slump-loss of the cement composition and improve its workability and applicability. The admixture is composed of copolymers from an alkenyl ether, a polyalkenyl ether and maleic anhydride.

The cutoff process of a collector current is divided into an emitter-to-collector voltage recovery period and a collector current cutoff period. During the emitter-to-collector voltage recovery period the resistance of a gate resistor is reduced, and during the collector current cutoff period the resistance of the gate resistor is increased. With this arrangement, the cutoff time is shortened, the...

A novel method for hardening mouldings containing one or more materials, which are reinforced by duroplasts is claimed. A photochemically-activated hardener is added to the duroplast, and the moulding is irradiated. The temperature is continuously maintained below a given maximum. Also claimed is the use of the process to make sanitary components with duroplastic protective casings and a surface l...

A knife is provided with a built-in battery box therein and a bulb mounted on the outlet of the blade. Batteries are received in the battery box and are selectively and electrically connected between the bulb and a button which is movably mounted on side of the knife, such that when the button is electrically engaged between the battery and the bulb, the bulb is lit so as to enable a user to work ...

The slag cement is made by 50-85% slag, 7-30% gypse and 5-30% limestone. The dried slag is mixed with smashed gypse and limestone and then grinded. Its specific surface area is greater than 4500 sq.cm/g. Its intensity exceeds national quality standard for 625R grade silica cement, because calcination process and equipment are omitted. The cost can be reduced by 50%.
