Abstract: A continuous business form which includes a series of connected blanks adapted to be subsequently processed into multi-ply lottery tickets, envelopes or like articles, is produced from an endless web of sheet material. Each blank is developed from an odd number of continuous panels which span the width of the web wherein adjacent, non-abutting panels define the various plies of each article, and wherein one surface of certain of the non-abutting panels is provided with an adhesive which is not activated for adhering to other panels of the form until after original indicia has been applied to the non-abutting panels which are thereafter superposed in overlying relationship for producing the continuous series of multi-ply forms wherein each ply contains original, directly applied indicia.

Abstract: In the production of safety glass with a plastic sheet as an intermediate layer, wires such as electrical heating wires, are fixed on the plastic sheet in their final (for instance, undulating) shape in a stressfree condition.

Abstract: Surfaces of thermoplastic parts are welded by placing a star-shaped heating element in-between the parts. The element is a coiled wire jacketed in plastic which melts during the welding. The resulting bond covers a relatively large area. The method is used for providing a saddle flange to a thermoplastic tube.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for insulating a plurality of electrically conductive elements and to produce electrical cable where the method includes heating the unformed insulative material and conductive elements, applying pressure and simultaneously removing heat with a pair of rollers at a relatively low temperature and applying pressure and heat to preselected regions only of the insulative material. The method and apparatus further allow preselected portions of the cable to be unbonded so as to facilitate access to the conductive elements by simply interrupting the application of pressure to the preselected portions. The heat, press and cool and press and bond method may also be accomplished in a step and repeat process using presses to insulative flexible circuits. The above method and apparatus provide more reliable bonding at an accelerated rate of production.

Abstract: Organic fibrous materials especially cellulosic and other textiles are rendered flame resistant upon treatment with an emulsion containing either (1) an organic bromine containing material having at least 65% bromine such as polyvinylbromide, (2) polyvinylbromide and an N-methylol agent such as trimethylolmethylglycoluril, (3) polyvinylbromide and a metal oxide such as antimony oxide, and (4) polyvinylbromide, N-methylol agent and metal oxide. The emulsions are applied to various fibers by the pad-dry-cure technique. The finish contained the added quality of wrinkle resistance and rot resistance. The treated textiles, including polyester/cotton blends remain highly flame resistant through innumerable laundry cycles.

Abstract: The invention is a process for building a lamination of a fiberglass reinforced polyester resin on a rotating continuous belt forming a spirally rotating mandrel consisting of pouring resin on the top of the mandrel from a substantially horizontal surface, depositing chopped strands of fiberglass onto the surface of the resin and impressing the chopped fiberglass into the resin with parallel strands of a suitable material. The specific method of pouring the resin onto the mandrel surface and the application of chopped fiberglass and parallel strands are also part of the invention.

Abstract: This invention involves manufacturing a conveyor belt by applying tension on a group of steel cords used as the belt tensile member, wrapping the tensioned steel cords with the rubber sheet to make a core body, sticking a based duck or a breaker and a covering rubber sheet in turn on said core body to build a belt, vulcanizing the belt and winding the resultant belt, in which the application of the tension to the group of steel cords is carried out by a plurality of pulleys on which hang a plurality of like weights respectively, and a winder.

Abstract: Apparatus for use in the manufacture of a wiring harness includes a platform upon which the harness leads are supported. Each of the leads comprises an outer thermoplastic sheath containing a conductive core, and the apparatus is provided with a thermoplastic tape dispenser whereby thermoplastic tape can be dispensed onto the harness leads. A heater is provided for heating the mutually presented surfaces of the leads and the tape, and a pressure member urges the heated surfaces of the tape and the leads into contact so that the sheaths of the leads fuse to the tape. The heater, the dispenser and the pressure member define a unit which is movable along the length of the leads fusing tape to the leads as it progresses. The heater means can take a number of different forms including hot air blowing apparatus and radiant heating apparatus.

Abstract: A labeling machine including means for feeding a continuous web having thereon a series of labels of a given length but with certain of the adjacent labels thereon spaced differently than other adjacent labels, and having thereon control elements related to such differences in the label spacing, the machine further including label severing means operable to cut off the terminal labels in the web at their given lengths regardless of the different spacings therebetween, and means controlled by the control elements on the web and operating the severing means to cut from the web the labels in uniform length and without having attached thereto any web portions providing spacings between adjacent labels. .Iadd.
