Abstract: A machine for individually dispensing die cut pressure-sensitive labels from the carrier web of a label train. An AC synchronous stepping motor rotates a pair of drive rolls for a predetermined time period sufficient to move the label train from a supply roll past an infrared detecting member to a discharge end of the machine. The web moves downwardly over the discharge end of the machine and partially discharges an individual label. A microswitch is actuated upon complete dispensing of a label, which sends a pulse through appropriate control circuitry to reactuate the stepping drive motor which advances the label train to partially dispense the next label. The infrared detecting member senses the density difference of the label gap between adjacent labels on the moving web and sends a stop signal to a timer of the control circuitry which will deactivate the motor at the end of the predetermined preset time period.

Abstract: A torque limiting clutch having at least two friction surfaces placed under pressure by pre-compressed helical springs employed for eliminating adjustment and compensating for wear of said clutch during use.

Abstract: The present invention relates to provide new crystalline zeolite catalyst (ZKU-catalyst) having the superior catalytic activity and selectivity and the long period of the catalytic life.One of the method of said catalyst (ZKU-2 catalyst) lies in crystallizing the starting zeolite preparation in the presence of the crystallization conditioning agent of crystallization of tetraalkyl (methyl or ethyl or combination thereof) ammonium cation.Another method of said catalyst (ZKU-3, 4 catalysts) lies in crystallizing the starting zeolite preparation in the presence of both said conditioning agent of crystallization and the substance capable of forming the seed and/or the skelton of crystal. The ZKU-3 catalyst is manufactured using the seed of crystal, while the ZKU-4 catalyst is manufactured using the seed and the skelton of crystal.

Abstract: An improved method for cleaning a water well by creating a pulsating action at the lower inlet end of the well casing. The well casing is sealed to form a generally airtight enclosure. A water level sensing probe is placed within and extends generally throughout the casing. A vacuum is formed in the well casing by pumping the air therefrom which raises the water column within the casing to a predetermined height. The water level sensing probe signals the height of the water column as it rises within the casing. The vacuum is destroyed upon the water column reaching a predetermined height and the weight of the descending water column forces the water outwardly through the casing openings and into the surrounding strata.

Abstract: A bulk material handling and reclaiming device of a nature that can be added to or substituted in known reclaiming installations. Bulk material such as coal delivered by a conveyor from a mine normally is delivered by a conveyor in large quantities during the period of mine operation to storage areas where it is stacked in mounds covering circular or rectangular storage areas. The new reclaimer has a cage on which a plurality of sets of buckets are moved in either direction by chains to which the buckets are pivoted, the chains endlessly surrounding the cage. The chains are driven to move in either direction in channel tracks. The cage is nonrotatably supported and bodily moved in straight or arcuate paths in either direction toward one or another end of stacked bulk material in storage areas.

Abstract: A shearing cradle to support a sheep in a reclined position on rollers. Shearing device situated between a pair of rollers, so that as the rollers rotate, the sheep is shorn by the shearing device.

Abstract: A composite pressure sensitive adhesive construction contains a central release liner, a layer of an adhesive on each side thereof, and optionally, an exterior release liner on at least one of the adhesive layers. The central release liner and the exterior release liner contain release coatings on surfaces thereof which contact the adhesive layer. The pressure sensitive adhesive construction may be utilized in sealing pipe insulating jackets wherein the exterior release liners are removed and the adhesive construction is applied to the opposite longitudinal ends or sides of the insulating jacket cover. The insulating jacket may then be stored until utilized whereupon the central release liner is removed, the jacket inserted about the pipe, and a sealing connection then made by pressing the two exposed adhesive layers together.

Abstract: A mechanism for stopping operation of a valve, comprising a plunger slidably mounted in a portion of a valve actuating system for actuating the valve, a stopper engageable and disengageable with the plunger to prevent or allow sliding motion of the plunger thereby operating or stopping the valve, and controlling means detecting phases of a valve actuating cam and operating an actuator for actuating the stopper in response to the detected phases, whereby the plunger and the stopper are engaged and disengaged always immediately after a lift of the cam ends.

Abstract: A tire patch that has a center rubberized fabric body assembly including overlaid pairs of plies of fabrics, each ply of each pair being a roughly half-moon shaped fabric piece positioned in superimposed but reversed relation to its companion, which pairs of plies are in gradually increasing size from top to bottom of the patch assembly, and top and bottom cover sheets for the patch assembly which has pairs of opposed concave shaped side and end edges to facilitate assembly into a tire carcass adjacent to the tire bead thereof.

Abstract: A belt winch apparatus for holding a belt at the side of a load carrying trailer vehicle the apparatus having interlocking means so that the apparatus can be supported by interlocking between the tie rail and the outer side of the vehicle tray and hold the belt under tension holding the load while in the same position.

Abstract: A novel glycopeptide is disclosed, which consists of a sugar moiety having a structural formula ##STR1## and a peptide moiety linking to the sugar moiety through N-glycoside bond. The glycopeptide is isolated from organs of normal animals, especially kidney, or urine from healthy human being, and has a biological activity of inducing lesions of kidney in animals. The lesions of kidney induced by an injection of the glycopeptide are very similar to spectrum of human glomerulonephritis. Accordingly, an experimental model for study on human glomerulonephritis is established.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel means placed internally of a tubeless type pneumatic tire, placed upon the drop center rim to effectively transfer heat from the crown and shoulder portions to the sidewalls and the mounting rim during rotational operation thereof by affecting puffs or forcing of the air adjacent the drop center rim up toward the tread and sidewall portions, effectively transferring heat from the tread and sidewall portions down into the heat sink provided by the rim.

Abstract: A method of and an apparatus for producing a seat cushion member by laminating a sheet of decorative surface material, a sheet of usual polyurethane foam material and a reinforcing web of fabric material in the above order, and subjecting the laminate to heating by a conventional heating unit and, at the same time, to high-frequency dielectric heating by a high-frequency welder to locally fuse required portions of the sheet of usual polyurethane foam material thereby welding the three layers into an integral structure.

Abstract: A grinder pump cutter assembly having a pair of cutting blades mounted on the cutter disk which extend at a hook angle to substantially the center of the disk. The blade is multi-surfaced, with the surfaces thereof being angled toward the periphery of the disk to break up centralized matter and disperse it into cutting engagement between the disk and cutter ring. Both the disk and cutter ring are also characterized by bores passing through juxtaposed circumferences thereof. The bores each have a hook angle associated therewith to define the sharpness of the cutting edges and to further provide a turbulence of self-purging action within the bores.
