  • Patent number: 6891125
    Abstract: A decanting system and method of use for a product made of viscous material, particularly a chemicotechnical substance that is discharged from a portioning deuce (10,11) in the form of a product string (12) and cut into its final portions includes a device to cut through the product string (12). The cutting device includes a laser whose beam (15) is directed transversely to the product discharge direction and passes through the product string (12) in order to cut it into portions.

  • Patent number: 6676319
    Abstract: In the outer sleeve there runs a threaded spindle which is mounted in a bearing sleeve (5) and on which a piston (30) is movable up and down. The outer sleeve (1) is in relation to its inner diameter Ad considerably longer than with known glue sticks. The ratio of the inner diameter Ad of the outer sleeve (1) to the length AL of the part of the outer sleeve which serves for receiving a rod-like adhesive mass (10) here lies in the region of 1:6 to 1:15. This however according to the invention demands that the threaded spindle is configured such that it simultaneously serves as a conveyor worm. Thanks to the special configuration of the piston (30) is spite of the great length of the threaded spindle there is achieved a bending-breakage stabilization.

  • Patent number: 5971225
    Abstract: A new method fills a dispenser with cyanoacrylate adhesive from the rear. The container is sealed by a pressed-in base section (4). The latter has a vent opening which can be sealed, preferably by a plug (68) pre-mounted on it. Preferably the contacting surfaces of the container and this base have an oval shape. In this novel method, the container is first filled, while the end is still open. The base is then pressed in, sealing it onto the container. In so doing, the air displaced, is released through the base vent. During the final phase of pressing-in, the vent is plugged, irreversibly sealing it. Also claimed is an adhesive dispenser, essentially as described, with further preferred detail of the seals, the pipette construction of the container and a slot valve in the plug unit. USE--A dispenser filling method and dispenser, especially suitable e.g. for a super glue.

  • Patent number: 5795436
    Abstract: The invention relates to an adhesive stick having a plunger anchoring the stick composition and a sleeve surrounding the stick composition, in which the propelling device for the upward and downward moving of the stick composition, which device at the same time serves as the actuating element, is formed together with the sleeve and the plunger as a one-part injection moulding. This propelling and actuating element (1) is designed in the form of a plate and is provided with lateral reinforcing webs (2) and is bonded on both sides to the plunger plate (0); it has at the vertex a pressure plate (3). Anchorage elements for the stick composition on the plunger plate (0) are designed in the form of bristles (6).

  • Patent number: 5581980
    Abstract: A process for producing a stick of adhesive, having a rotatable base part with rotary spindle, which spindle is engaged in a holding element for the stick material (plunger, small basket, anchoring disc), which holding element is fitted into a sleeve surrounding the stick material. The rotary spindle, provides controlling movement of the stick-shaped adhesive material either up or down. The sleeve (2) together with the plunger (1) is formed in a one-part injection molding which is joined, via predetermined breaking points (3), to the sleeve wall. For the assembly, the base part, with rotary spindle is pushed through a centered recess in the plunger until the lower periphery of the sleeve comes to rest against the upper part of the base part.

  • Patent number: 5556010
    Abstract: A glue stick with a piston supporting the stick substance and a shell surrounding the stick substance is disclosed. A drive mechanism for up and down movement of the stick substance is formed in the nature of a piston connecting rod coupled to the piston, which at the other end is coupled to an actuating element which can be actuated from outside the shell. The drive element can be formed as a rod (2, a, 30, 40, 52) or as a flexible band (2C). The actuating element can be formed as a double ring (3), as a toggle joint (17), as a tongue shaped double wheel (32), as a wheel (41), or as a semi-circular solid wheel (53). preferably formed as a one-piece injection moulding. For assembly of the glue stick is pushed in to the shell from the open side, and then the glue stick substance is poured from above into the hollow space of the shell, becoming anchored on or in the piston when it set.
