Abstract: A powder sprayer unit which provides improved spraying of powder onto printed sheets of material produced in printing presses. The powder sprayer includes a source of pressurized fluid, a source of powder, a mixer and a distributor. The mixer includes at least one fluid inlet positioned to receive fluid from the fluid source, and at least one powder inlet positioned to receive powder from the source of powder to mix the fluid and the powder forming a fluid/powder mixture. The distributor-includes a disperser positioned to disperse the mixture as it flows to a plurality of nozzles. The nozzles are positioned to spray the dispersed mixture onto specified areas of printed sheets of material having passed through the printing press.

Abstract: A spray-shower pipe is equipped with flat fan nozzles having a dome-shaped indentation directed to the pipe inside and located inside a nozzle base formed with a recess that conforms with and engages the outer surface of the pipe wall and an annular extension of length corresponding to the pipe wall thickness at the circumference of the opening in which the extension is snugly seated. The front surface of the extension facing the inside of the pipe has a curvature which corresponds to the curvature of the pipe wall inside surface. The dome-shaped indentation is formed with an aperture that forms an angle with the longitudinal axis of the pipe that is slightly less than 90.degree., typically 83.degree..

Abstract: Described is a powder stick which includes a shrink film sheathing thereon. The material of the shrink film sheathing is a plasticizer-free hard PVC film having a modulus of elasticity of from about 2400 to 3000 N/mm.sup.2, with the shrink film being from about 50 to 200 .mu.m in thickness.

Abstract: A spray shower (10) is equipped with flat fan nozzles (17), having a dome shaped indentation (21) directed to the pipe inside, and located inside a nozzle base (12), attached to the outer surface of the pipe wall, at which the adjustment at the nozzle discharge orifice (22) in relation to the longitudinal axis (24) of the spray-shower (10) results from a corresponding fixation of the nozzles (17) inside the nozzle base (12). The flat fan nozzle has at the outer circumference several sides (20) and on the inner circumference of the nozzle base (12) are tip stretched corresponding sides (19) used as stops for the sides (20) of the flat fan nozzles (17). An arrangement of the spray-shower in such a manner obtains the advantage of a quick and problemless assembly of the flat fan nozzles in the required exact position, without the need for special skills of the assembler. Time consuming controls of the exact position of the nozzle discharge orifice after assembly and eventual correction is no longer necessary.

Abstract: The invention relates to an ink capable of producing writing or marking on a non-absorbent or impermeable surface, which can easily be wiped off. The disadvantages inherent in the known inks are overcome by adding ester compounds of a certain composition to the ink.
