Abstract: In a papermaking machine, the drying section includes a vacuum based system which serves to guide the web and supporting felt (15) from a first drying cylinder (11) to a transfer vacuum roller (10), which has perforations (13) through which a vacuum is communicated into the interior of the roller 10 from of an external suction box (14). The suction box (14) includes lengthwise extending sealing strips (28, 29) located adjacent and bounding the free circumferential surface of the transfer roller (10), which is not overlapped by the felt of the drying section. The sealing strips extend from the suction box 14 to the roller mantel (10a) of the roller 10. These strips are further designed in the style of a doctor blade and are flexibly mounted on the suction box (14) so that they are flexible and biased against the roller 10 by spring action. They extend approximately tangentially to the surface of the roller mantel (10a), contacting it gently.

Abstract: A screw extruder having a cylinder, an extrusion head, a screw in the cylinder and a motor for driving the screw in rotation has insert members which extend into the cylinder to effect plastification and homogenization of the material being extruded. The web of the screw is provided with annular recesses into which the insert members project. Some of the insert members are stationary, in the form of pins projecting radially into the cylinder, while others are movable so as to vary the extent of their projection into the cylinder. The movable insert members may be pins extending radially into the cylinder and movable radially, rotatable threaded pins extending tangentially into the cylinder, rotatable pins extending tangentially into the cylinder and having non-circular portions in the cylinder, or sector-shaped discs which are movable pivotally.

Abstract: A device for winding and unwinding cables onto a cable drum (9) includes a portal-like supporting frame (1) and bracket arms (4) suspended from it. The bracket arms (4) are adjustable in length, and the distance between the bracket arms (4) is also adjustable. Rotatable spindle pins (8) are carried at the lower ends of the bracket arms (4). The bracket arms (4) are configured to be freely resilient in the longitudinal direction, and furthermore the spindle pins (8) are held at the bracket arms (4) so as to be movable transversely thereto. As a result, insertion of the spindle pins (8) into receiving openings in the cable drums is facilitated so that automatic operation is possible practically without malfunction even if there are dimensional errors in the receiving openings of the cable drums.

Abstract: An electrode carrier arm for an electric arc furnace consists of an arm part (10) and of a electrode-clamping device and is produced so as to be current carrying from a material of high conductivity. Between the arm part and the electrode-clamping device there is a flanged connection consisting of flanged plates (11, 12) which limit a cooling-liquid cavity (20, 29) on both sides and which themselves contain passage orifices (21) for the cooling liquid from one cooling-liquid cavity to the other. This allows an effective cooling of the flanged plates and consequently a direct supply of current via the flanged connection when the carrier arm is produced from light metal.

Abstract: A seal on a drive shaft of an extrusion machine having a housing, is provided by a sealing chamber through which the shaft, for example the drive shaft of the shear spindle, extends in entering the housing, and a sealing screw thread on a portion of the shaft in the sealing chamber, the sealing screw thread having a screw direction for propelling material toward the interior of the housing. Sealing material in the form of granular plastic material is fed to the sealing chamber at a controlled rate by a device having a storage container for the granular plastic material, the bottom of the container having a funnel feeding the granular plastic material into an elongate cavity which communicates with the sealing chamber and in which the piston rod of a piston-cylinder unit is reciprocable to propel the granular plastic material into the sealing chamber. The pressure inside the sealing chamber is sensed and the operation of the piston-cylinder unit is controlled to maintain the pressure approximately constant.

Abstract: A viscous shear coupling, comprising a first part in the form of a housing (2), a second part (3) disposed within the housing to define an annular closure therebetween, a first set of annular plates (11) in the enclosure secured for rotation with the first coupling part interleaved with the plates (12) of a second set of plates, secured for rotation with the second coupling part (3) and a viscous liquid at least partially filling the enclosure, wherein the plates are provided with through slots (13, 14) which are arranged so that parts of the slots move into and out of area of axial alignment as the sets of plates rotate relative to one another.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process and apparatus for processing elastomeric material in particular plastic, rubber and a mixture thereof in roller-head-apparatus in which the material to be processed is plasticized and homogenized in an extruder, extruded from an extrusion head provided on the extruder and then is led through an aperture formed between two rollers. It is the object of the present invention, with an especially simple extrusion head in a roller-head-apparatus to produce uniform and dimensionally exact sheets or foils of different thicknesses without changing structural parts. The invention achieves this in that material formed in plate form by parallel outlet surfaces of the extruder head is led through an aperture space formed between a concave cylindrical surface of a stationary forming tool and the circumferential surface of one of the rollers of the calender before the material enters the space between the two calender rollers.

Abstract: To suppress quantitizing ambiguities upon digital transmission of an analog signal, a random access memory (RAM) (13) is connected at the end terminal of a digital transmission line, and has its output connected to an adder stage (15). The adder stage adds the digital value of +1 to the output from the RAM (13). The value of the digitized data word, incremented by +1, is then compared in a subsequent interrogation cycle of the value at the input to the memory and only if the deviation is greater than .+-.1, a comparator, effecting the comparison, provides a "store" signal for transfer of the new value to the RAM (13). The D/A converters, only then, are changed to provide a changed output analog signal.

Abstract: A first succession of workpieces is displaced along a first conveyor path past a work station in steps and a second succession of workpieces is displaced past the work station in steps synchronously with the first succession along a second conveyor path crossing the first path at an intersection adjacent the work station. The workpieces of the first and second successions are alternately arrested adjacent the work station so that as a workpiece of one succession is arrested adjacent the station the workpieces of the other succession are moving and vice versa. A tool at the station works alternately on the arrested workpieces. Thus as a workpiece of one succession is being held stationary and worked on a workpiece of the other succession is being removed from adjacent the station and replaced with the following workpiece of the other succession. The workpieces are transported horizontally generally at the same level and the paths cross at the intersection generally at a right angle.

Abstract: A system is disclosed which allows a container and material to be weighed in the presence of a pressurized gas and reduces the effects on that weighing caused by variations in the gas flow and pressure. The system includes a container which receives material to be weighed and a structure for discharging material from the system. The container is mounted on a scale for providing weight readings and flexibly coupled by at least one inlet to provide a pressurized gas to the container which isolates gas flow and pressure effects transmitted to the container.

Abstract: In order to eliminate crosstalk between adjacent playback and recording heads in a multi-track, multi-head magnetic tape recorder or playback apparatus, the invention provides for tapping off part of the recording current and suitably adjusting its amplitude and/or phase to define a correction current which is applied to the playback head of the apparatus. The voltage resulting from the correction current exactly compensates the voltage induced by the stray magnetic field of the recording head. The correction circuit includes frequency-dependent components which account for the frequency dependence of the crosstalk signals.
