  • Patent number: 7927669
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for applying coatings, such as in particular varnishes, to surfaces is provided. The apparatus includes a metering head that has at least one nozzle which can be actuated by a control signal. The method includes the steps of: moving a base having a surface that is to be coated along this surface relative to a metering head and/or moving the metering head relative to a surface of the base, and applying a fluid coating material to the surface through a nozzle in response to at least one control signal generated by a computer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 30, 2003
    Date of Patent: April 19, 2011

  • Patent number: 6691753
    Abstract: A pneumatic tire for motor vehicles has a running surface profile designed in the direction of rotation, with two shoulder regions (S1, S2) each being a constituent of a row of shoulder blocks, and with a middle region (C) separated from them by circumferential grooves (2) running in the circumferential direction; this middle region encompasses the width of the circumferential grooves (2) and covers a minimum width of 60% of the width of the running surface (B), is free from circumferential grooves running in the circumferential direction and is equipped with a number of V-shaped running rills (1), which open into the circumferential grooves (2) and whose V-peaks rest at least essentially on the equator line (M—M).

  • Patent number: 4076143
    Abstract: An improved rectangular shaped pressed glass sealed beam lamp unit is provided which includes a molded projection disposed at a particular location on the lens and reflector members to provide more reliable hermetic sealing when joined together at their peripheries. Specifically, the molded projections are provided on the back sealing surfaces of each rim region to reduce unwanted deformation which otherwise occurs when these members are initially formed by pressing the glass in molds. Said molded projections disappear for the most part during the aforesaid heat sealing assembly although the glass material remains in the rim region after joinder.
