Abstract: Method and apparatus for dyeing textile articles in which the articles are confined in bulk but in orderly fashion in a dyebath up to a level therein, the dyebath is loaded with dye liquor to cover the articles and the liquor is circulated through forceful sprays directed towards the articles from above said level.

Abstract: An ampule holder for supporting ampules on the body of a syringe is provided. The ampule holder includes an annular hollow cylindrical body with an inner circumference adapted to engage and support the ampule. The hollow body is held in abutting contact with the barrel of the syringe by an annular ring attached to the hollow body and extending about the body of the syringe. The annular hollow cylindrical body may be transparent to permit any legend on the ampule to be viewed visually through the hollow body.

Abstract: A pallet having feet anchored to a platform by locking rings wherein each foot comprises a hollow tapered cup-like shape with a flange near the top of the foot, wherein the flange includes a plurality of slots, wherein each locking ring includes a flange of size and shape equal to the flanges of the feet, wherein each locking ring further includes a plurality of hooks which are insertable into the slots of the foot flange, and wherein the flange of each foot engages the underside of the platform while the flange of each locking ring engages the top side of the platform.

Abstract: A horizontal baling apparatus including a horizontally reciprocally movable compression ram for compressing material into a totally enclosed baling chamber where the side and top walls of the baling chamber may be opened providing access thereto for wrapping of a formed bale. The side walls have two pairs of interengageable elements for locking and unlocking same with respect to the baling chamber. One of the interengageable elements of each pair is secured to one side wall and the other of the interengageable element of each pair is secured to a fluid-operated cylinder piston arrangement which in turn is secured to the other of said side walls. One of said pairs of interengageable elements is located adjacent the outer lower end of the side walls and the other pair of interengageable elements is located atop the side walls. Fluid control means are provided for sequential operation of the two cylinder piston arrangements for improved opening and closing procedures.

Abstract: A horizontal baling apparatus including a horizontally reciprocally movable compression ram for compressing material into a totally enclosed baling chamber which is defined by an end platen, a compression platen on the ram, a bottom wall, and movable side and top walls. The end platens and bottom wall are adapted to receive bagging material thereover, which is held secure during formation of the bale, after which the baling chamber may be opened by opening the side and top walls, and the bagging material wrapped substantially totally around the six bale sides while the bale is held under compression, and after which appropriate strapping may be applied around the wrapped bale, likewise while the bale is under compression.

Abstract: A baling apparatus and method utilizes a reciprocable ram which cooperates with a baling chamber having a fixed wall platen at one end and having movable side wall means which is locked in its closed wall forming position during baling strokes of the ram but which is movable to an open position so as to afford access to baled material thereby to facilitate enveloping the baled material with a bagging sheet on the ram and by another bagging sheet mounted on the fixed platen toward which and away from which the ram is movable during baling, the bagging sheet which is associated with the ram being arranged with its central portion overlying the baling face of the ram and with its peripheral portion disposed in a bagging chamber disposed about the periphery of the ram and having vertical and horizontal doors which during baling operations are closed but which are opened after a bale is formed in order to allow manual access to the bagging sheets whereby the bagging sheets are wrapped and tied about the baled mate

Abstract: An all-plastic drum construction permits a variety of sizes and capacity of drum by utilizing an extruded tube for the drum side walls of selected diameter and length proportional to the drum capacity desired. An injection molded bottom closure is welded to the bottom end of the tube by a thermoplastic bonding material having dispersed iron particles which are excited when exposed to induction heating thereby facilitating the melting of the thermoplastic. This welding material is disposed within a cavity defined by the bottom closure and bottom end of the tube and when subjected to induction heating and pressure fills the cavity to effectuate the bond between surfaces of the bottom closure and bottom end of the tube. A tight head drum is formed by securing by a similar welding technique a top closure to the upper end of the tube. In forming an open head drum, a thermoplastic chime is initially welded in similar fashion to the upper end of the tube.

Abstract: An all plastic tubular drum is blow molded into the selected configuration from an extruded parison. The parison is provided with at least two spaced circumferentially extending thickened sections. These thickened sections are captured in a compression mold cavity during the blow molding cycle. Thereafter the captured thickened sections are compression molded into outwardly extending projections, undercuts, reinforcing gussets, or the like.

Abstract: A new peach tree of standard size, which yields heavy crops of large fruit in about the last week of July to the first week of August in Avon, Ohio. The tree is spreading in habit and of normal density. Fruit has an attractively patterned overcolor a golden ground color; fruit is large, freestone, of rounded, attractive shape, and has firm, juicy yellow flesh with some red flecking. The tree, being self-fertile, may be planted alone in a home garden without having to plant a pollinator tree within pollination distance.
