  • Patent number: 10709919
    Abstract: Fire suppression systems (10) for vehicles and industrial applications including arrangements of an input bus (24) and output bus (26) coupled to a centralized controller (20) to provide for automatic and manual detection of a fire (H) and manual and automatic system actuation in response to the fire. The arrangements further provide for system information regarding the status and operation of the system components. Additionally, the arrangement of system components provide for expandability and programmability to configure the system for the protection of multiple and variable hazards (H) using customized or programmed detection and/or actuation. The systems include configured connectors (25) and colour coded schemes to facilitate system installation.

  • Patent number: 7458927
    Abstract: An interfolding apparatus including a knife roll, a first interfolding roll, a second interfolding roll, and a transfer roll. The knife roll cuts sheets from a stream of web material issuing from a source in a downstream direction. The first interfolding roll is positioned downstream of the knife roll and receives the sheets. The first interfolding roll rotates in a first direction and the second interfolding roll rotates in a second direction. The first and second interfolding rolls interfold the sheets with additional sheets received by the second interfolding roll. A transfer roll is positioned between the knife roll and the first interfolding roll. The transfer roll has a non-uniform surface configuration and rotates in the second direction and receives the sheets from the knife roll, forms a bend in each of the sheets, and transfers the formed sheets to the first interfolding roll.

  • Publication number: 20070161487
    Abstract: An interfolding apparatus including first and second interfolding rolls. The first interfolding roll is supplied sheets of web product and the second interfolding roll is supplied additional sheets of web product. The interfolding rolls rotate to form a first number of folds in the sheets and rotate to form the first number of folds in some of the additional sheets and a second, different number of folds in at least one other of the additional sheets. The interfolding rolls rotate to interfold the sheets with the additional sheets having the first number of folds to form a stack of interfolded web product and rotate to interfold at least one of the sheets with at least one of the additional sheets having the second number of folds to form a discontinuity in the stack.
