  • Publication number: 20070084959
    Abstract: When an elongate film is initially wound around a core, it is wound under a low winding tension command value T1 corresponding to the length of the core. Then, after the tension is progressively increased at a predetermined rate, the elongate film is wound while its tension is gradually lowered from a high winding tension command value T3.

  • Patent number: 6786471
    Abstract: A diaphragm valve assembly comprising a body defining a valve chamber and first and second passageways through said, a removable, annular valve seat installed in the valve chamber around of said passageways, seat holding means comprising a seat holder shaped to surround said valve seat, a flexibly resilient diaphragm having a valve closing portion and means for holding the diaphragm in position in the valve chamber. The resilience of the diaphragm urges said valve closing portion away from the valve seat. Selectively operable driving means drive the valve closing portion of the diaphragm into contact with the valve seat for closing the valve. A protruding, cylindrical rim portion around said one passageway, and said seat holder define an annular recess adapted to receive the valve seat such that said valve seat is held between said seat holder and said rim portion.
