  • Publication number: 20120295024
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for applying a coating of adhesive to laminate cover material in a profile wrapping operation. The apparatus can include a slot nozzle, a pressure roller, and a drive roller. The drive roller and pressure roller are movable to first positions in which the drive roller and pressure roller are spaced from the laminate, and second positions in which the drive roller and pressure roller contact the laminate to feed the veneer over the slot nozzle. The apparatus may be used to apply adhesive to raw veneer provided in strip form and to laminates provided in roll form.

  • Patent number: 4240730
    Abstract: A unique gear drive control means is provided for causing the execution of various operations in the camera processor, such as driving the light sensitive medium to the exposure station, cutting the medium, driving the medium through a second transport means, and driving the medium again through the second transport means, along with a receptor sheet, which sheets are thereafter introduced into the entrance portion of a diffusion transfer processor. A single motor turns both the rocker itself and three gears mounted thereon, which gears sequentially actuate various drive gears of the processor to carry out the various film manipulation steps.

  • Patent number: 3949771
    Abstract: A combined washer and aspirator device which is readily adapted to both aspirate and wash material from a solid body in a confined space. The washer-aspirator device is especially constructed to be utilized in conjunction with a hepatitis test wherein the device can remove and/or wash serum from a detection carrier such as a spherical ball. In a preferred embodiment, the device has a probe with an orifice for holding the ball in a suspended state as it is washed and aspirated.
