  • Patent number: 4762589
    Abstract: A process for producing a tubular rubber product such as a rubber hose and a rubber coupling in which a polyamide resin and/or polyester resin layer is formed to the main body of a tubular rubber product. The resin layer is formed either by coating an organic solvent-soluble nylon to the surface of the main body of the tubular rubber product applied with the surface treatment of a halogenoid compound, or by polyamide resin or polyester resin film having a softening point in the vulcanization temperature region and treated with an adhesive mainly comprising a resorcine-formaldehyde resin and a rubber latex or treated with an adhesive rubber mainly comprising a resorcine, a formaldehyde-forming substance and a vinylpyridine-butadiene-styrene copolymer rubber and then bonding under vulcanization onto the main body of the non-vulcanized tubular rubber product.

  • Patent number: 4753698
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing spun bonded nonwoven fabrics which have a highly uniform fleece structure and a uniform weight per unit area. In the method, a plurality of linear ranks of filaments, disposed side by side are spun from a plurality of long spinnerets. The filaments are aerodynamically drawn downward, stretched, and then fixed on a moving screen. The linear ranks of filaments are deflected and set in a pendular movement. The ranks are carried on an air cushion on the moving screen through a spreading section in which the ranks of filaments are turned around and laid down in a criss-crossing and substantially loop-like manner, and are fixed on the screen by vacuum.

  • Patent number: 4749425
    Abstract: A disk wheel, especially a railroad wheel, has a composite construction of a single piece metal hub and a single piece metal rim connected to each other by a wheel disk of fiber reinforced composite material providing exclusively adhesive bonds. The wheel disk transmits shearing stress between hub and rim. The rim is provided with two radially inwardly extending rim flanges. The hub has two radially outwardly extending hub flanges. The shearing stress transmitting wheel disk (12) has a radially outer rim contacting surface (9) adhesively bonded to the rim (3) and rim flanges (7), and a radially inner hub contacting surface (8) adhesively bonded to the hub (2) and hub flanges (6). The wheel disk (12) is inserted into the space between the concentrically arranged hub and rim as long as the composite material is not yet cured and hence sufficiently deformable. The wheel disk is exposed to compression during curing.
