A tire building machine including a drum having a set of radially movable segments at each end thereof and being covered with a cord reinforced rubber sleeve, a set of radially movable fingers are disposed adjacent the axially outer ends of the drum and an auxiliary drum including a turn-up bladder is disposed axially outwardly of each set of fingers. The drum is axially contractible and radially ...

A tire building machine of the expandable bead lock type employs an elastomeric specially shaped radially expanding bead lock including a shaping and turning bladder which includes an air passage system therethrough. The elastomeric bead lock is confined for radial expansion in an annular outwardly opening chamber in the form of an isosceles trapezoid in radial section with the elastomeric bead lo...

1426004 Sterilizing containers ELI LILLY & CO 4 Sept 1973 [19 Sept 1972] 41547/73 Heading A5G The interiors of containers are sterilized by repeatedly sparking a focussed, ultra-shortpulsed laser beam therein. The container may contain a gas such as air or, preferably a manatomic gas, e.g. A, Ne, He or Xe. Typical procedures employ from 100 to 10000 consecutive pulses of 5 nanoseconds to 5 microse...

The composition contains a) polyvinylpyrrolidone as odour-binding component and b) at least one vehicle. Component b) can be water and/or alcohol or a pharmaceutical and/or cosmetic vehicle. The composition can be used in deodorising products.

The invention relates to the glass industry and more particularly to glass carrying a multilayer reflective coating, a metallic layer being in contact at least on one side with a metal oxide or semiconductor layer. The invention proposes to remove, especially in the region of the edges of the glass sheets, at least the upper coating layers, without attacking the glass, i.e. the possible layers ...

The novel herbicidal compositions contain, as active ingredients, a) 5 to 95 parts by weight of at least one compound of the general formula I and b) 95 to 5 parts by weight of at least one herbicidal compound which does not come under the formula I. They can also be composed of a mixture of components a) + b). In formula I, the symbols R1, R2, X and n have the meanings given in Paten...

1509265 Moulding an integral tyre and wheel MONSANTO CO 4 July 1975 [5 July 1974] 28212/75 Heading B5A [Also in Division B7] An integral tyre and wheel composed of mouldable elastomeric polymeric material having a Young's modulus of 800-1250 kg./sq. cm. (see Division B7), may be prepared by injection compression or rotational moulding. For example, the mould illustrated may be used to make two ide...

A combined nozzle for air and fuel to a fluidized bed (20) comprises two fixed portions (1, 10) mounted at the top and bottom of an air chamber (4) and a movable, withdrawable portion (2) which connects the two fixed portions and is guided by them. The movable portion blocks the lower fixed portion (10) outwardly and conducts air and fuel to the upper fixed portion (1). Further, there is a device ...

Synthetic rubber-black-plasticizer masterbatches are prepared in a particulate form, in contrast with their normal massed form, by a process which involves halogenating the rubber-black masterbatch after coagulation, but before addition of the plasticizer.

The roll formation of polymer coated regenerated cellulose films is substantially improved by incorporating in polymer coatings for such films from 0.25 to 4% by weight, based upon the weight of the polymer coating, of finely divided cellulose fibers having an average particle fiber length within the range of from 10 to 150 microns.

Epoxide resin foams are manufactured by curing a mixture which contains an epoxide resin, a blowing agent, a surface-active agent and the tetraglycidyl ester of cyclohexanone- or methylcyclohexanone-2,2,6,6-tetrapropionic acid, with a Lewis acid or an addition compound or complex compound of a Lewis acid. The foams obtained show a homogeneous pore structure and no tendency to crack formation, and ...

The present invention provides a carbon-carbon composite material consisting of a matrix carbon and a fibrous reinforcing carbon, said matrix carbon and fibrous carbon consisting substantially of amorphous carbon and forming an interface without an intervening third material, wherein said composite material has a fracture surface showing a uniform vitreous light reflection, but when it is used as ...

Provided in a casting mould (30) are a number of shaped parts (32) corresponding to the number of the contact pins and into which the contact pins (6) are pressed in a manner forming a seal either solely by the pressure of the plastic material flowing into the casting mould, or in addition by a press-on means belonging to the casting mould. For this purpose, the shaped parts and the contact pins (...
