  • Patent number: 4638950
    Abstract: An apparatus for applying liquid to mill rolls has a bar with two longitudinally extending manifolds. Into the bar are inserted spray nozzles and associated diaphgragm valve structures. One of the manifolds is for the supply of coolant and/or lubricating fluid to the nozzles via the valves. The other manifold has a control fluid (air) under pressure which is used to operate the diaphragm valves to connect or disconnect the supply of coolant/lubricant. To control the control fluid each diaphragm valve unit has a solenoid operated valve for selectively connecting the air at pressure in the second manifold to the diaphragm valve.

  • Patent number: 4520645
    Abstract: In a processing device which includes a pair of rotatable rolls and a support for supporting a coil of foil-like material, a device is provided for feeding the leading end of the outer turn of the coil of foil-like material into the gap between the rolls. The device comprises a structure which is movable along a path which brings it close to the periphery of the coil and to the roll gap. The structure includes suction apparatus for picking up the outer turn of the coil and apparatus for blowing air over a surface of the leading end of the foil to cause the leading end to tauten and enter into the roll gap.
