Abstract: A friction ring (12) for reel shafts (10), having on its inner periphery a friction surface (22) for frictional engagement with the reel shaft (10), and on its outer periphery a plurality of radially projecting leaf springs (24) that are inclined relative to the radial direction in a uniform direction (D) of rotation, each leaf spring having a base portion (26) held in a slot (28) of the friction ring (12), wherein each leaf spring (24) is adapted to be bent back into a recess (30) of the friction ring (12) on the side facing forward in the direction (D) of rotation and is supported on a wall (32) of this recess on the opposite side.

Abstract: An apparatus for applying liquid onto web material (12), the apparatus including a transport system (10) for the web material, a slot nozzle (20) extending across the web material (12) and arranged for applying the liquid onto the web material, and at least one guide shaft (26) that extends in parallel with the slot nozzle and is arranged such that it guides the web material (12) closely past the slot nozzle (20), wherein the guide shaft (26) is configured as a tube and connected to a fluid source (30).

Abstract: Apparatus for application of primer with the aid of vacuum, includes a reservoir (26) for liquid primer, an applicator nozzle (14) having an applicator chamber (16) and a suction chamber (18), a supply system (24, 26) for supplying primer from the reservoir (28) to the applicator chamber (16), a suction system (30, 32) for withdrawing air and primer from the suction chamber (18) and a separator (34) for separating primer from the withdrawn air and recirculating the separated primer into the reservoir (28), wherein the separator (34) is a cyclone.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing coated profile members (10), wherein a foil (16, 36) is cut to a predetermined width and wrapped around the profile member so as to form a butt seam extending in a longitudinal direction of the profile member, and the foil (16, 36) is cut by a cutting beam (24) in a condition in which an edge strip of the foil projects beyond the profile member (10), while a face of the profile member is used as reference for the position of the cutting beam.

Abstract: A building board with coating includes at least one end face (7) covered by two superposed layers (10, 12) of a sheet material, and a layer (11) of filler material is applied between the sheet layers (10, 12).

Abstract: The applicator device (AV) for hot-melt adhesive (HK) comprises a housing (1) with an adhesive feeder element (2) and an adjustable nozzle slot (3) to let out the adhesive by pressure. The nozzle slot (3) can be adjusted by means of two nozzle sliders (4) that can be displaced linearly and continuously towards each other from a zero position to a maximum open position with the purpose of adjusting the width (B) of the adhesive applicator. Both sliders (4) are displaced synchronously or independently towards each other, whereby both sliders (4) can be displaced towards each other by the same distance and/or by a different distance from the center (0) of the application width (B) of the nozzle slot (3).
