Patent number: 4602727Abstract: The present invention provides a rotary feeder system having a rotor housing with an intake opening and means for discharging material spaced apart side walls. A rotor is positioned with its radially extending blades disposed within the rotor housing and its two ends of its shaft each extending through an aperture in one of the side walls. The shaft bearing and interconnection to the rotating means are each disposed outwards of the rotor housing and the apertures are sealed about the rotor shaft by a sealing assembly comprising a washer, a seal having a first and second ring wherein the second ring extends inward beyond the inner circumference of the first, said ring merging into a flange pressing upon said washer, and a retaining plate which bears against the second ring, tightening it against the washer. The washer and second ring of the seal are preferably formed of tetrafluoro-ethylene resin, and all joints between components within the rotor housing are welded to fill any crevices.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 1984Date of Patent: July 29, 1986Assignee: Wm.

Patent number: 4322472Abstract: An aqueous adhesive composition containing a graft copolymerized product of low amylose starch and acrylamide with rheological and remoistening adhesive properties suitable for coating low basis weight kraft paper on transfer roll coating equipment to make remoistenable sealing tapes. The desired properties of the adhesive composition are obtained by a controlled graft copolymerization together with a simultaneous gelatinization of the starch at temperatures below 210.degree. F. and with the essential addition of cupric or ferric ions before initiating the reaction. The resulting coatable adhesive has a comparatively low viscosity as required for transfer roll coating while retaining the improved adhesion properties of the acrylamide.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 1980Date of Patent: March 30, 1982Assignee: Alco Standard CorporationInventors: Mark L.
