A method for determining key yarn properties such as modification ratio and MBB dye uptake rate by measuring yarn bundle filament velocities near the spinneret as they are melt spun.

A ski binding includes a base plate adapted to be secured to a ski, a cover plate supported on the base plate for pivotal movement about a vertical axis, and an adjustable release arrangement for yieldably resisting pivotal movement of the cover plate in either direction away from an initial position. The release arrangement can be adjusted from a side of the binding. Front and rear holding mechan...

Upper and lower rollers have grooves for a bead ring having a clamp area portion produced by a bead winding machine. The bead ring is placed in the groove of the lower roller with the beginning of the clamp area portion in position for pressing by lowering of the upper roller so that the bead ring is engaged by the groove in the upper roller. The rollers are oscillated between the pressing positio...

Tire building apparatus in which a former is mounted on a first rotatable turret, and a component carrier of tubular form is mounted on a second rotatable turret adjacent the first turret. The former and the component carrier are arranged to be relatively movable at a turret station to enable the former to be surrounded by the component carrier so as to permit transfer of a tire building component...

Disclosed herein is a biaxially oriented polyethylene naphthalate film having a center line average roughness [Ra( mu m)] and a film thickness [T( mu m)] which satisfy the following formula: produced by the electrostatic cooling method from polymethylene naphthalate having a resistivity of 1x107 to 5x108 OMEGA .cm as measured in the molten state.

Disclosed is a biaxially stretched polyester film having a modified surface with an excellent bondability, in which both the surface smoothness and the slip characteristic, which are contradictory to each other, are satisfactory. This biaxially stretched polyester film has a multiplicity of ultra-fine protrusions which are an integral part of the film and dyeable with osmic acid. The film is prepa...

A PNEUMATIC TIRE A pneumatic tire and a method of constructing a tire bead for the same, in which the tire has a bead portion (11) which is reinforced by a bead core (20) of wire running around the bead portion and the wire is housed in a circular elastomeric support (16) which forms a cradle in which the wire is located. The bead can be made by winding wire around the preformed elastomeric cradle...

PNEUMATIC TIRE A pneumatic tire (A) includes a body having a crown (10) with a ground-engaging tread portion (20), a pair of sidewall portions (12, 14), as well as a pair of bead portions (16, 18). An annular substantially inextensible bead reinforcing member (36) is positioned in each of the bead portions (16, 18). A carcass ply (30) is positioned in each sidewall (12, 14) and the crown (10) and ...

A grinder for removing a predetermined amount of rubber at a predetermined angle from a raised or recessed area on the sidewall of an inflated tire as the tire rotates. A pair of spaced sensors engage the sidewall area of the tire at predetermined radial spaced locations on opposite sides of the area to be worked. The sensors generate a pair of electrical signals in relationship to the profiles of...

A limited slip differential of the speed sensitive torque biasing type in which a plate type clutch between the case and a side gear is applied jointly by the force of a spring and by the thrust force on the side gear, when the differential is at the stall or low speed condition. As the differential begins to operate and its speed increases the clutch is gradually released by pressurized fluid whi...

A repaired elastomer article having a cut or crack entirely therethrough. A treating agent is located about the cut portion on the inner surface of the article and an amine curable polymer or prepolymer layer resides over said treating agent. A cured elastomeric patch resides over said curable polymer. Since the amine curable polymer cures at ambient temperatures, the repair of the elastomer artic...
