Patent number: 6740021Abstract: Folding apparatus and systems are described for providing multi-folded products utilizing a folding board having at least one pressurized nip positioned proximate the folding operation. A folded product is directed through a first pressurized nip, comprising a roller and a first surface of a second folding board, positioned upstream of the folding operation and a second pressurized nip, comprising a roller and a second surface of the folding board, positioned downstream of the folding operation. Positioning pressurized nips proximate the folding operation improves the integrity of the folds created within the product and also creates distinct, uniformly oriented fold lines.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2001Date of Patent: May 25, 2004Assignee: Kimberly Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: John H. Evans, Adam Glass, Leslie T. Long, Ronald R. Padak, Ricky W. Purcell

Patent number: 4527481Abstract: An impact sensitive high temperature detonator is disclosed. The detonator comprises an initiator charge of lead azide next to a thin casing wall at the input end, and a mass of finely divided refractory material adjacent to the initiator charge. The detonator can be initiated by a rounded firing pin, which indents the casing wall without puncturing it. In the event of misfire, the casing will remain intact, which facilitates safe removal of the detonator.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 1983Date of Patent: July 9, 1985Assignee: ICI Americas Inc.Inventors: John H. Evans, Kenneth T. Sabotta

Patent number: 4342208Abstract: A locking gas cap for a threaded filler neck having a sealing lip extending peripherally about its axis, the cap comprising a closure member threaded to engage and close the filler neck, a gasket on the closure member for engaging and sealing against the lip, an outer shell providing a hand grip secured to the closure member for rotation thereon, a key-operated lock and at least one lock-actuable bolt connected to the shell for rotation therewith. A race is disposed for rotation in the shell, and a driving connection is provided between the race and the closure member which is torque limited in the direction which advances the closure member on the filler neck and positive in the cap removal direction. A spring is provided for yieldably urging the bolt into engagement with the race. The spring cooperates with a plurality of engaging pockets in the race to provide a positive driving connection between the shell and race in the direction which advances the closure onto the filler neck.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 1978Date of Patent: August 3, 1982Assignee: Stant Inc.Inventor: John H.
