Patent number: 6958173Abstract: A system and method for applying adhesive to at least a first end of a rod-shaped member, such as a cotton swab stick includes a carrier, an adhesive applicator, and a rotator device. The carrier conveys the rod-shaped member or stick in a machine direction and also allows rotation of the rod-shaped member about its longitudinal axis. The adhesive applicator includes an application surface positioned to engage the first end of the rod-shaped member. The application surface includes at least one discharge passage for applying adhesive to the first end of the rod-shaped member. The rotator device rotates the rod relative to the application surface and about its longitudinal axis as the rod-shaped member is conveyed along the application surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2004Date of Patent: October 25, 2005Assignee: Nordson CorporationInventors: Wesley C. Fort, James Keough, Leslie J. Varga

Patent number: 6336740Abstract: A cover for a paint can for use with automatic paint stirring equipment is disclosed in which the paint can has a tubular cylindrical sidewall with an open top and a radially inwardly protruding chime around the open top of the can. The cover assembly includes a lid dimensioned to overlie the open top of the paint can and having a spout along its outer periphery. A paint stirrer is rotatably mounted to the lid and at least one locking foot removably secures the lid to the paint can. The locking device includes a stem pivotably mounted to the lid, a radially outwardly extending foot secured to one end of the stem and a handle secured to the opposite end of the stem. The stem is pivotal between a locked position in which the foot extends underneath the can chime, and an unlocked position in which the foot is spaced radially inwardly from the can chime.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2001Date of Patent: January 8, 2002Assignee: Dedoes Industries, Inc.Inventor: James A.

Patent number: 4930151Abstract: A call forwarding device includes a plurality of selectively interconnectable channel switches, each having a rotary port connected to a different outlet port of a telephone rotary switch and a modem port connected with a different modem of a facility answering site. An inbound call on any channel switch rotary port is initially directed to the modem port of the same channel switch for answer by the connected modem. If this modem fails to timely answer, the call is automatically re-routed internally of the answering site to the modem port of another, available channel switch for answer by its connected modem or is automatically re-routed to the rotary port of another, available channel switch and call forwarded externally to a backup answering site for answer by a modem thereat.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 1989Date of Patent: May 29, 1990Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Paul B. Walton, James Keough, Richard L. Demers, Leland A. Denny, Jr., Robert E. Kaiser, Cornellius Moses, Jr., Vijay N. Wagh
