  • Patent number: 9114636
    Abstract: The invention relates to a printing machine having at least one printer unit comprising at least one inkjet printhead, a central printing cylinder, and a drive motor of its own dedicated to the central printing cylinder. A conveying path of a printing material web through the printing machine has at least one first section and one second section, each defined by contact points of the printing material, which have motor-powered rotation bodies. At least the first section has a dedicated first measuring device for measuring a web tension of the printing material web in the first section. At least the second section has a dedicated second measuring device for measuring the web tension of the printing material web in the second section.

  • Publication number: 20050264095
    Abstract: A wheel is provided with a corrosion resistant coating, such as a powder coating. The powder coating of the wheel in interaction with the interior of the tire creates a virtual inner tube for the wheel, thereby improving the air retention characteristics of the wheel and tire assembly. Alternatively, the wheel could be provided a flexibly resilient plastic strip, such as an adhesive backed urethane, to cover the area where the tire is in contact with the wheel.

  • Patent number: 4030136
    Abstract: Record storage apparatus including a pack of coaxially arranged rotating flexible disks uniformly spaced by means providing interstices through which pressure fluid is normally supplied at a preselected flow rate to maintain the disks stabilized in substantial parallelism during rotation. The pack is split at a selected axial position to cause a disk at each side of the split to spread and create a gap into which a transducer is insertable. A movable means concentrically disposed within the pack and positioned at the said selected position sealingly isolates the interstices at one side of the split from those at the opposite side. After insertion of the transducer, flow rate of pressure fluid to the disks at one side of the movable means is increased to restore the disks at said side to stabilized condition and concurrently fluid pressure load the particular disk at one side of said gap operatively against the transducer.

  • Patent number: 3934771
    Abstract: The bracket supports transmitter cone and control components of a standard radar scope at points entirely within the interior of a police patrol car, just to one side of the driver's position for convenient manipulation by him or by an accompanying officer.The bracket is of limited and substantially uniform width throughout and, as frictionally held to the vehicle's upholstered driver seat back rest, it presents an upper horizontal plate portion which rests on and is cushioned by the back rest, upon which plate portion the scope cone is stably and adjustably mounted. A rearwardly and downwardly angled integral projection of said portion provides a clamping lip to assist in frictionally but releasably mounting the bracket to the seat back, without tearing or other damage to the latter.
