Abstract: An automatic spraying apparatus comprising storage tanks each storing therein each one of at least two liquid components which are mixed to produce hard urethane foam, a pump for feeding said each liquid component under pressure, a spray gun for mixing said liquid components fed from said pumps and spraying the mixture, a mechanism for displacing said spray gun in a plane spaced apart from and substantially in parallel with a surface to be sprayed, and a control unit for controlling the displacement of said spray gun so as to follow a predetermined path.

Abstract: A polyisocyanate foam having isotropic cells is manufactured by a foaming operation in an apparatus comprising a mold composed of side walls capable of extending and returning, or folding and unfolding, in directions perpendicular to the free rising direction. Mold extending means are provided to spread out the side walls of the mold perpendicular to the free rising direction. While the foamable composition is in a creamy state, it is allowed to rise freely in one direction (the free rising direction), while the side walls of the mold are in their folded condition, until a height detecting means is actuated.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing non-yellowing polyurethane shoe soles which comprises coating a non-yellowing polyurethane composition on the inner surface of a mould for shaping soles, subsequently casting a foamable polyurethane composition into the mould, and curing the compositions, whereby a non-yellowing polyurethane outer layer and a foamed polyurethane sole base are formed and integrally united together to give the shoe sole; and non-yellowing shoe soles thus obtained.
