Abstract: An epoxy adhesive composition of an epoxy resin and an amine hardener includes a synergistic accelerator of an effective amount of short chain polyol and an effective amount of a dihydric phenol having between about 6 and about 24 carbon atoms. Surfaces of adherends are joined with the dried residue of the epoxy adhesive composition by applying the epoxy resin composition to one or both surfaces, joining the surfaces, and applying pressure, optionally with heating. The joined adherends having the dried epoxy resin composition is another disclosed embodiment.

Abstract: An epoxy adhesive composition of an epoxy resin, an epoxy terminated liquid rubber, filler, and an amine curing package for said epoxy resin is disclosed. Advantageously, a short chain diol will be incorporated into the adhesive in order to enhance reactivity and strength build. Advantageously, a mixture of amines will be used in the curative including multifunctional aliphatic amines that improve adhesion and strength build; tertiary amines which are used to enhance adhesion and strength build, polyamides which can be used to provide flexibility; and amine-terminated rubbers (ATBN) which can improve toughness and impact resistance to the cured system. The preferred short chain diol is glycerin. Surfaces of adherends are joined with the dried residue of the epoxy adhesive composition by applying the epoxy resin composition to one or both surfaces, joining the surfaces, and applying pressure, optionally with heating.

Abstract: An on-line fishing depth indicator is adapted to be placed either in series or in parallel on a typical fishing line in combination with fishing bait. The indicator is adapted to read and store the maximum depth of the bait during a trolling operation under controlled conditions. This permits the user to determine the performance of the bait under certain, predefined conditions. The electronics and pressure transducers associated with the indicator are self-contained in the unit.

Abstract: This invention relates to apparatus comprising carton-forming means (12) and product-loading means (6, 15, 15'), and means to synchronize the carton forming and product loading such that each carton is formed and loaded before each successive carton is formed and loaded. There is preferably a common station for the carton-forming means and the product-loading means. The former (12) is a hollow member having a first opening (11a) in one wall for admitting articles to the interior and a second opening (11b) in another wall for permitting the escape of the content. The exterior of the hollow member cooperates with a forming passage (14) of geometrically similar cross section, disposed beneath a product-loading position (P1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a horizontal form-fill-seal packaging machine in which a horizontal form-fill-seal packaging machine is provided a plurality of modules for carrying out successive stages of form-fill-seal packaging process, the modules being mechanically separate from one another and including at least one stepper motor drive, the stepper motors all being controlled and synchronized by a microprocessor. This results in a packaging machine which can be efficiently fabricated, installed and maintained and which can perform highly accurate, synchronized, high speed automatic wrapping.
