Abstract: A device which can dispense at least one pesticide which comprises a base unit (10) containing tanks (40, 42) for the pesticides and a wand (100) including valves (212, 134) to control dispensing of the pesticides, an electrode (280) to place an electrostatic charge on one pesticide, and a pulsing unit (128) to pulse the flow of one pesticide.

Abstract: Molding apparatus for molding articles without a seam or parting line even though the articles may have severe backdraft portions. The apparatus includes a flexible mold of relatively thick and self-supporting wall construction which is deformable by the application of fluid pressure differential to thereby release the finished article from the mold. One modification of the mold also has a thick radially extending flange which forms a seal with a vacuum pot when the mold is simply set in the pot. One modification is directed to a male and female type mold in which the outer female mold is expanded to be withdrawn from the article and the inner mold portion collapses inwardly so as to be withdrawn from the article.

Abstract: Molding apparatus for molding articles without a seam or parting line even though the molded articles may have severe backdraft portions. The apparatus includes a one-piece flexible mold which is deformable subject to the application of fluid pressure, a vacuum pot large enough to accommodate the flexible mold therein and means for applying vacuum to the pot such that the mold may be expanded by the vacuum thereby releasing the molded article. The vacuum pot is provided with upwardly extending projections positioned in the bottom of the pot and the mold is provided with a restraining ring member for supporting the mold wall and for acting in conjunction with the upwardly extending projection to control the mode of expansion of the mold.

Abstract: Apparatus for molding, for example, a seamless brake drum female mold having a plurality of radially inwardly extending grooves and ridges. The apparatus includes a generally hollow one-piece distensible and flexible hollow male mold having an annular side wall having a plurality of radially extending projections and undercuts and includes an outer core box positioned around the flexible mold and defining an annular cavity with it. The apparatus further comprises a packing mandrel for supporting the hollow flexible mold while mold material is packed around it and a vacuum mandrel to be inserted within the flexible mold to cause the collapse of the flexible mold so that the molded article can be lifted off the flexible mold despite the radially extending projections.

Abstract: Molding apparatus for molding articles without a seam or parting line even though articles may have severe backdraft portions. The apparatus includes a one-piece flexible mold which is deformable by the application of a fluid pressure differential to thereby release the finished article from the mold. The mold has a self-supporting, radially extending annular flange which forms a seal with a vacuum pot when the mold is set in the pot and the flange has a downwardly extending annular projection or lip which fits freely over the outside diameter of the side wall of the pot. The downwardly extending projection is of sufficient inside diameter to allow the flange to be easily set upon or removed from the vacuum pot and the flange also has sufficiently close tolerances with respect to the outside diameter of the pot as to accurately align and center the mold in the pot.

Abstract: Molding apparatus for molding hollow articles without a seam or parting line even though the articles may have backdraft or undercut portions on both the inside and outside surfaces. The apparatus includes a generally one-piece flexible mold having a generally thick self-supporting wall construction which is deformable by the application of a fluid pressure differential. The mold includes a generally hollow outer portion and a generally hollow inner portion integrally formed with and extending upwardly from the bottom wall of the outer portion, said mold portions defining an upwardly opening generally annular cavity into which hardenable material is placed.
