Abstract: This invention relates to tufted floorcovering articles, including carpet tiles and broadloom carpet. In particular, this invention relates to tufted floorcovering articles made from the family of polymers known as polyester. Specifically, this invention relates to tufted carpet tile products made from polyester. The polyester carpet tiles meet commercial performance specifications and are fully end-of-life recyclable.

Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for hydraulically adjusting and setting a fixed position of an axially displaceable shaft and rotary chipper disc combination, without requiring an attachment to or obstruction of an end face of either end of the axially displaceable shaft. A rotary chipper disc recoil mechanism is also provided for the purpose of detection of unwanted axial and radial forces placed upon the rotating shaft caused by unintentional chipping of metal, and for limiting consequential damage caused by the unintentional chipping of metal and other non-wood materials.

Abstract: A floating platen system for use in connection with a packaging system that processes tube stock continuous film media to form bags that are filled with product. The floating platen system includes a floating platen that is maintained in a substantially stationary position by use of magnetic forces acting on the floating platen.

Abstract: A disc type wood chipper that utilizes a high percentage of the energy required for chipping but not substantially utilized in the material size reduction within the machine to produce chips of a small enough size such that the chips produced can be turned into wood flour or wood pellets with the expenditure of very little additional energy.

Abstract: Apparatus for limiting the amount of debris that is disbursed in and around a disc type wood chipper when the disc is being treated with high pressure air. The apparatus includes a casing that surrounds the chipper disc having a stationary section and a removable section that can be detached from the stationary section to provide access to about 90° of the disc. A shield is hinged to the stationary section of the disc that has a vertical wall and an arcuate cover that can be moved over the exposed section of the disc which contains and directs debris in the chippers exhaust system when removed by high pressure air that is directed at the front face of the disc.

Abstract: An adjustment mechanism for a rotary disc chipper apparatus includes an axially displaceable shaft attached to a chipper disc, at least one gear disposed in relation to the axially adjustable shaft and a drive member engageable with the at least one gear to produce axial movement of the axially displaceable shaft and the chipper disc.
