  • Publication number: 20040256444
    Abstract: The invention relates to a window envelope (1) having two flat sides, which form the front and rear sides (2, 3) thereof and are joined to each other at the edges thereof. Said window envelope also comprises an address window (5), which is made of a transparent material and which is distant from the window envelope (1) edges. Said window envelope is characterized in that the material of the address window (5) is extended to one of said edges and continues at least partially on the rear side of said window envelope (1) in a coincident manner.

  • Patent number: 5012255
    Abstract: A motor vehicle windshield is formed with a transparent vapor-deposited metal coating for windshield heating and with an antenna for radio reception. Preferably, the metal coating is connected to an inner conductor of a coaxial cable leading to the radio receiver, while the outer conductor of the coaxial cable is connected to chassis or ground potential. A slot (10, 20, 30, 40, 55, 56) in the metal coating is dimensioned to have a length of some harmonic of one wavelength in the FM frequency band, a width smaller than a half wavelength, and a minimum spacing a from the supply buses on each side of the windshield.

  • Patent number: 4946114
    Abstract: A yarn roll carrier tube and method of employing same to effect uniform compression of a yarn roll mounted on said tube is disclosed. The tube includes a central compressible portion, a contoured portion at one end, and an annular opening having a recessed stop portion at the other end. The tubes are sized such that the contoured portion may be inserted into and frictionally retained within the annular opening of a similar tube by a predetermined mount dictated by the position of said stop shoulder by the exertion of a compressive force exerted by one said tube against the other. Yarn rolls mounted on adjacent said tubes are partially compressed by the insertion of one tube into the other into said nested position, said insertion resulting in a preferential compression of the central portions of the yarn rolls. Subsequent compressive forces of a greater magnitude when exerted against the tubes result in axial foreshortening of the tubes and greater compression of the yarn rolls.

  • Patent number: 4852332
    Abstract: Filamentary or thread textile material is wound onto lap creels (2), which are capable of being pushed, in a telescoping manner, one into the other to form stacks (3). Each stack (3) is covered with a film tube or hose (6) which is shrunk onto the stack for holding together the individually wound lap creels (2). Immediately prior to a treatment, several stacks (3) are formed into a column, which is compacted by an axially effective compression. The slackened tension of the film tube (6) is then re-established by renewed shrinkage thereof prior to or at the start of the treatment of the textile material. Film material capable of repeated shrinking, especially heat shrinking is used for this purpose.

  • Patent number: 4729526
    Abstract: A sleeve type lap creel has two outer sleeve sections (1, 2) and an intermediate sleeve section (3) arranged in axial alignment with one another. The outer sections form substantially hollow cylinders. The intermediate section is formed by carrier ribs (8, 9) extending axially from each outer sleeve section toward the other sleeve section. The carrier ribs are circumferentially spaced so that the ribs of one outer sleeve section fit between the ribs of the other outer sleeve section. Initially, the ribs (8, 9) are fully extended and interconnected, for example axially or in the circumferential direction by frangible bridges (15). By pushing the outer sections toward each other the frangible bridges are broken and the ribs of one section move into the other section and vice versa. The ribs have projections (16) which fit into recesses (17) of the sleeve sections for arresting the ribs in the sleeve sections in a plurality of different positions, whereby the length of the lap creel is changeable.

  • Patent number: 4667895
    Abstract: Axially extending ribs (7,8) are evenly distributed around the circular circumference of a lap creel. Upper ribs (7) protrude radially outwardly from the outer surface of a shell (5) of the lap creel in an upper carrying portion (1). Lower ribs (8) protrude radially inwardly from the inner surface of the shell (5) in a lower carrying portion (2). The radius of the upper carrying portion (1) is smaller than the radius of the lower carrying portion (2). Radially outer limiting surfaces (9) of the upper ribs (7) have a smaller radius than the inner radius of the shell (5) in the lower carrying portion (2). The radially inner limiting surfaces (10) of the lower ribs (8) have a radius which is larger than the outer radius of the shell (5) in the upper carrying portion (1). The limiting surfaces (9) of the upper ribs (7) have a larger radius than the radius of the limiting surfaces (10) of the lower ribs (8).

  • Patent number: 4272037
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lap creel made of rod shaped carrying members (1) which form, together with ring shaped fixing elements (2-6) a circular cage. The carrying members (1) project radially outwardly across a portion of the fixing elements (2-6). A fixing element (2) arranged at one end of the lap creel, has inwardly opening grooves (10), the number of which corresponds to the number of carrying members (1). Through these means the appropriate end of the lap creel receives a free-space inner cross-section which corresponds to the outer cross-section of the opposite end of the lap creel. The outer surfaces (7) of the carrying members (1) form parts of a shell which is shaped so that an imaginary enveloping of the lap creel in the central region has a contraction (8). The lap creel thus receives a bi-conical shape; that is, a shape which occurs if two truncated cones at the smaller of the end face diameters are arranged end to end.

  • Patent number: 4180219
    Abstract: A lap creel comprising rod shaped carrier elements is used, for example, in the textile industry for winding up textile threads or yarns. For this purpose the rod shaped carrier elements are held together by holding or fixing elements which together with the carrier elements form a circular cage from which the carrier elements protrude radially beyond the holding elements. A plurality of holding elements may be arranged along the lap creel. The individual rod shaped carrier elements have a tapering shape so that the lap creel itself has a conical shape with a largest diameter end and a smallest diameter end. At the largest diameter end the holding element encircles the carrier elements so that the latter face radially inwardly. At the smallest diameter end, the carrier element surrounds the holding element so that the carrier elements face radially outwardly in the form of ribs.

  • Patent number: 4176811
    Abstract: A conical yarn carrier comprises yarn supporting surfaces in the form of longitudinal rods which are held together by securing rings to form a cage having a circular cross section. Radially extending openings and longitudinally extending slots or channels are provided between the rods. These slots or channels extend lengthwise between adjacent yarn carrier rods and approximately from the middle of the yarn carrier axially to its upper edge and overlap with said openings. The yarn carrier further comprises a ring element located on the carrier surface forming rod. The ring element is axially displaceable within certain limits and comprises radially inwardly extending projections guided in the slots or channels.
