  • Patent number: 5139722
    Abstract: In pressing wet concrete between a ram and a mold to compact the concrete and express water from it so as to produce a molded slab, a layer of filter material is provided between the ram or the base of the mold and the concrete and the filter material is secured by a discontinuous coat of adhesive applied as a transfer to the ram and/or to the base of the mold. The adhesive is applied over a sufficient area of the filter material to secure adhesion of the filter material to the ram or base of the mold. The discontinuous adhesive coating is provided as a pattern of particles which covers substantially the entire area of the face of the filter and is present over between 2% and 15% of the total surface area of the filter material.

  • Patent number: 4675728
    Abstract: A carriage is designed for transport into and out of a pipe, carrying appropriate lighting and a television camera with a lens cover movable from a remote location between covering and uncovering positions. A movable portion carrying two sets of three nozzles, one of each set being equipped to emit a spray of water, liquid penetrant and air, is mounted on the carriage. After an initial visual inspection on a remote TV monitor to verify location and check for the presence of relatively large cracks or flaws, the lens is covered, the inside pipe surface is sprayed first with water for cleaning, then with penetrant which enters any cracks which may be present, and again with water to wash away any penetrant other than that which has entered cracks in the area being inspected. The surface is then dried by the air nozzle, the lens cover removed and a "black light" source turned on, thus rendering visible on the TV monitor any liquid penetrant which is entrapped in small cracks or faults in the pipe.
