Abstract: An apparatus for the separating and renewed applying of an incoming material web on winding machines to a winding sleeve, a separating knife and an applying brush, fixedly connected to the latter, being swivelled into the path of the material web for separating, and the separating knife being accelerated by a hydraulically driven motor, controlled by a stepping control motor, by means of a shaft at an angle of up to 130.degree., whereupon the separating operation is performed at from 230.degree. to 260.degree. and the shaft comes to a standstill again after about a further 90.degree.. In this way, transverse separating of a material web is possible even at high speeds. In order to avoid deformations of the separating knife, the shaft of the hydraulic motor is provided with a compensating shaft.

Abstract: An aqueous rinse-aid composition for kitchen utensils is provided wherein an anionic hydrotrope and a blend of two specifically defined nonionic surfactants are utilized which has been shown through empirical research to surprisingly yield improved results. One of the nonionic surfactants is an alcohol alkoxylate (as defined) and the other nonionic surfactant is a block copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide (as defined). The composition is suitable for use at a temperature of up to at least 180.degree. F. in the absence of excessive foaming, spotting and film formation.

Abstract: Rows of finger blocks are mounted to a frame body of a rotary industrial shredder laterally parallel to respective ones of the counter-rotational pair of shafts so as to be moveable slightly, but meaningfully, during the shredding operation while maintaining tight clearance relationships between the fingers and cutters. In such a manner, waste material, particularly waste fibrous material such as waste carpet, may be stripped satisfactorily from the cutter and spacer discs carried by the shafts. Preferably, the finger blocks include unitary cutter and spacer fingers extending inwardly towards the shafts in respective opposed relationship to cutter and spacer discs carried thereby.
