  • Patent number: 6319364
    Abstract: A method of dividing a formed paper web into at least two partial-width webs during production of creped paper in a paper machine having a cylinder with an adhesive coating to which the web adheres. The web is divided in conjunction with the cylinder by one partial-width web being detached by scraping from the outer surface at a first web-detaching point while the other partial-width web, still adhered to the outer surface, accompanies this surface to a second web-detaching point situated downstream, to be detached by scraping from the outer surface, at least one partial-width web being creped off. The invention also relates to a apparatus and a paper machine including such a apparatus having doctor blades forming the web-detaching points.

  • Patent number: 4407349
    Abstract: Improvement in shielding windows having at least two panes, which form an enclosed space by means of a frame, in which space a shield is arranged to adjustably shield the window opening completely or partly. The shield is extendable and retractable out of and in to a storing position in the space, one end of said shield being fixed to a storing device and either the other end or said storing device being fixed to a piston disposed between the panes. The piston is displacable along the panes and corresponds to the cross-section of the space. Either the storing device or the other end is fixed to the frame so that displacement of the piston will cause a relative displacement of the two ends of the shield (extension or retraction). A pressurized air conduit opens into the space on one side of the piston and a second conduit opens into the space on the other side of the piston.

  • Patent number: 4192111
    Abstract: Window including a rectangular frame, which supports and encloses at least two panes separated at a certain distance, a slab being placed between said two panes, said slab having a width corresponding to the width of the panes but having a height which is smaller than the height of the panes, said slab being displaceable up and down by a current of air which is introduced in the frame under the slab and is let out above the slab or vice versa.

  • Patent number: 4026317
    Abstract: A device, such as a sink trap, for the discharging of waste fluid or the like to a sewer connection. The device comprises a fluid inlet means and fluid outlet means. The fluid inlet means conveys the waste fluid to an inner one of several concentrically arranged, vertically overlapping water seals which cooperate to define a plurality of concentrically disposed chambers forming a tortuous path for waste fluid from the inlet means to the outlet means which connects to the outwardmost of the chambers.
