A continuous flow device for separation of particles of differing densities in a centrifugal force field. Very small particles of differing densities that are normally very difficult or impossible to separate in the useful commercial gravity separation devices can be separated because of the increased settling force due to the centrifugal force field and also the buoyant force on the particles of ...

A heelholder for a safety ski binding comprising a base member, a carriage mounted on the base member for movement in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the ski on which the binding mounted, a retaining spring biasing the carriage to a central, normal position, a pair of cheeks pivotally mounted on the carriage and carrying a heel-releasing mechanism, and a locking mechanism f...

A spindle extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of a ski and parallel to the upper surface of the ski carries sole holder elements normally engaged against a ski boot to hold the ski boot on the ski. The spindle is disposed below the plane of the ski boot sole. If the ski boot exerts force in excess of a predetermined force against the sole holder elements either longitudinally or l...

A radial pneumatic tire and a method of making same. The tire has a discontinuous cord belt reinforcement comprising narrow strips of fabric wound around the tire in a plurality of circumferential overlapping turns. The tire is capable of being built in one stage and shaped into toroidal shape after the circumferential belt is applied.

A process of manufacturing carcass bands which are reinforced by cords and are to be employed in fabricating a radial tire. The process includes the steps of unwinding a plurality of cords from a plurality of reels, respectively, travelling the cords through apertures formed in guide members and entering a rubber coating mechanism, coating the cords with rubber material by means of the rubber coat...

A ply-turning device for use in tire-building is disclosed herein which is adapted to turnup a surplus portion of a carcass ply around a bead core in the manufacture of large size tires each having a pair of axially protruding side portions. The device comprises a plurality of ply-turning vanes being arranged concentrically to a first drum for the formation of a green case and circumferentially in...

Blends of a polyester with a desiccant and one or more of a poly(mono-1-olefin); a rubbery diene/monovinylarene block copolymer; or a poly(mono-1-olefin) and a rubbery block copolymer, optionally with a resinous poly(monovinylarene). Any of these blends can further employ an oil as an additional component.

PURPOSE:To inform the abnormality and failure of a plant easily and to control the plant safely by storing the starting time difference of each part of a process, and when the time difference more than a prescribed value is detected, outputting an alarm. CONSTITUTION:A sequencer 1 is connected to a control part 2 controlling a plant and the outputs from AND gates 16, 19 of the sequencer 1 are appl...

PURPOSE:To use the titled detecting circuit together with other runaway detecting means and to improve the detecting probability by providing the titled circuit with an address setter, an address comparator, a coincidence detector, etc. and comparing a setting address with a current address to detect the coincidence of the whole digits. CONSTITUTION:The address setter 6 sets up a binary number con...

The repair of a reinforced elastomer article having a hollow therein relates to utilizing an amine curable polymer or prepolymer and a cured elastomer patch. The hollow in the elastomer as well as the areas juxtaposition to the patch is coated with a treating agent. The amine curable polymer or prepolymer is then applied to the hollow as well as to the area between the patch and the elastomer and ...

Resilient foam particles and moldings are obtained employing a lightly crosslinked polymer such as a styrene polymer with volatile fluid foaming agent that has low permeability through the polymer. Multiple expansion will permit low density particles for molding.

Elastomers are plasticized with a polymerizable monomer, in homogeneous admixture therewith, by adding the monomer to a latex of the elastomer, free of polymerization initiator, followed by coagulation of the monomer and polymer solids. The coagulated solids recovered from the latex may be compounded with a polymerization initiator for the monomer and a vulcanizing agent for the polymer and, optio...

An electromagnetic sliding shoe brake also referred to as a slipper shoe brake is constructed especially for use in or on rail vehicles, especially high speed rail vehicles. The magnetic core, with its energizing coil, has at least two pole pieces. The sliding brake shoe comprises ferromagnetic pole plates alternating with interconnecting magnetically insulating members. The pole plates, or rather...

A process is described for recovering water soluble copper and manganese compounds from an aqueous solution by reacting the copper and manganese compounds with saturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acids containing 5 to 9 carbon atoms at elevated temperatures forming cupric and manganous alkanoates containing 5 to 9 carbon atoms, and simultaneously removing the water by distillation in the presence o...

The repair of a reinforced elastomer article having a deformity such as a cut, cavity, or an aperture therein relates to utilizing an amine curable polymer or prepolymer and a cured elastomer patch. The deformity in the elastomer as well as the areas juxtaposition to the patch are coated with a treating agent. The amine curable polymer or prepolymer applied to the patch area has no rubber filler t...

An electronic device for an automobile is roughly divided into individual parts and control circuit elements which are mounted in a casing divided into two compartments, according to the present invention. The individual parts are arranged in one compartment and are covered with silicone rubber to improve their water resistance. The control circuit elements are arranged in the other compartment an...

In the continuous production of laminates, especially laminated building boards, one or more base sheets impregnated with phenoplast/aminoplast resin mixture in the presence of acid donor curing agents are pressed together at an elevated curing temperature with decorative sheets impregnated with aminoplast resin in the presence of acid donor curing agents.
