Abstract: Profiles or sectional shapes formed of elastic masses, especially rubber, are equipped with velour bands or tapes. The application of the velour bands is accomplished in the already formed profile which is still in a heated state, by slightly pressing the band carrier into the mass. The apparatus utilizes a guide element operatively associated with an injection disk or nozzle of an extruder, in order to deposit the velour band into the material at the extruder outlet. The profiles thus formed are used as sealing profiles in the window guides in the automotive industry.

Abstract: A method of, and apparatus for, automatically and uniformly drawing-in elastomeric material into worm extruders comprising at least one draw-in roll for the material mixture, arranged in spaced relationship in front of the extruder worm or screw and driven independently of the worm. The draw-in roll is driven in a manner such that it only can transmit a predetermined adjustable rotational moment which is limited towards an upper range, or, if desired, the rotational speed of the draw-in roll is controlled as a function of a maximum upwardly limited pressure prevailing within a draw-in or infeed pocket between the draw-in roll and the worm or screw.

Abstract: A change device for sieves used for filtering plastic materials. The change device comprises a sieve holder having a bore for the throughflowing material and a slot extending transversely thereto, in which there are sealingly retained in work position sieve supports or carriers containing sieves. By means of a work cylinder it is possible, without interrupting the transport of the material which is being processed, to eject and replace the contaminated sieve by a new sieve. The rapid change device is particularly suitable for installation in an extruder for fabricating rubber hoses for automobile tires, the installation of such rapid change device advantageously being accomplished between the extruder and the injection head.
