Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for controlling the edge of pulp mass in a web former, the web former comprising a space formed by two wires or the like, into which space the pulp mass is fed. The wires or the like are supported on a chamber units, which each time include at least one chamber for receiving the water removed from the pulp mass. In conjunction with the side edge of the said web former are arranged pulp mass edge control means, which include an edge sealing part. The edge sealing part extends, in the lateral direction of the web former, by a distance between the chamber units in such a way that it will prevent the pulp mass edge from passing and/or spreading in the lateral direction of the web former into the area of the said edge of the web former. The invention also relates to a method for controlling the pulp mass edge in a web former.

Abstract: A seal has a non-woven fabric folded along lines transverse to the opposite side of the seal and secured by adhesive to fabric strips. The non-woven fabric forms elongated cells with a plurality of the cells receiving inserts to increase seal stiffness. By securing one of these strips to a stationary component of the sealing surfaces, the opposite strip may expand or collapse relative to a movable sealing surface to accommodate excursions of that surface. Multiple layers of cells may be provided in the seals. The inserts may have various cross-sectional configurations including circular, triangular or rhombic and formed of tubes, solid rods or coiled springs.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a sealing device serve to preclude the passage of water and debris between the conventional gaps in a deck. The water sealing device comprises an elongated member preferably formed of natural rubber with weather and ultraviolet resisting additives, but may be formed alternatively of vinyl or other resilient plastic materials as desired. In each embodiment, the seal has a pair of upwardly extending flanges along the top of each opposed edge. The sealing device fits tightly within the gap between the boards of a deck, preventing the passage of water and/or other debris between the boards. The flanges are biased outwardly, creating a watertight seal between the boards and the sealing device. Further sealing may be provided by the use of an adhesive and/or caulking compound at the time of installation of the seals, as desired.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for maintaining a fluid seal with a moving substrate. The apparatus includes an enclosure and a cap. The enclosure has a first surface and a second surface with the first surface being in sealing contact with the moving substrate. The cap seals off the second surface of the enclosure. The cap is secured to the enclosure at at least two spaced apart locations and has a non-secured portion that is capable of deflecting independently of the enclosure. The apparatus further includes means for introducing a pressurized fluid into the enclosure. The pressurized fluid creates a net force on the enclosure of zero and a force on the cap which causes a portion of the cap to deflect. The deflection of the cap allows the first surface of the enclosure to remain in sealing contact with the moving substrate.

Abstract: An injection hose intended for sealing expansion joint in concrete structures. The hose is in the form a continuous hollow extrusion (12), made of elastic, flexible material, with a continuous longitudinal bore (10) and at least one longitudinal groove (16).

A coupling layer (15) is provided between the fastening rail (11) and the molded seal (19).

Abstract: The leakproof sealing device for the lower arm of a spark erosion machine (also known as an electrical discharge machining (EDM) device) is made to fit a variety of existing spark erosion machines, each having different size windows. A slidable metal band is mounted on the outside of the tank and spans the window. Spring mounted rollers maintain tension on the metal band and allow the metal band to move from side to side across the window. A structural frame mounted external to the tank forms a leaktight seal between the tank and the band. A hole is formed in the metal band through which the lower arm of the erosion machine passes and a semi-leaktight seal is formed between the arm and the metal band.
