Abstract: A washing pipe is mounted on a washing guide provided on an outer side of an outer cylinder screen of the screw press and includes a washing pipe body and washing nozzles provided in the washing pipe body and configured to discharge washing liquid flowing from an inside of the washing pipe body toward the outer cylinder screen. A washing pipe swing supporter is configured to support the washing guide to allow the washing pipe to swing between a discharge position and a separation position. The discharge position is a position where the washing pipe is mounted on the washing guide and the washing liquid is discharged from the washing nozzles toward the outer cylinder screen. The separation position is a position where the washing nozzles are farther away from the outer cylinder screen than in a state where the washing pipe is positioned at the discharge position.

Abstract: A coil device has a wound portion, a leadout portion led out from the wound portion in a first direction, and an element body covering the wound portion and the leadout portion. A winding axis of the wound portion is perpendicular to a mounting facing surface of the element body and is displaced to a second direction opposite to the first direction with respect to a center of the element body. An outer circumferential surface of the wound portion is distorted so as to bulge outward in the first direction from the outer circumferential surface of the wound portion.

Abstract: A coil device has a wound portion, a leadout portion led out from the wound portion, a terminal including a wire connecting portion connected to the leadout portion, and an element body covering the wound portion, the leadout portion and the wire connecting portion. A winding axis of the wound portion is perpendicular to a mounting facing surface of the element body. The leadout portion has a bent portion bent so as to protrude inward when viewed along the winding axis, and an inner angle of the bent portion is an obtuse angle.

Abstract: A mold shim or insert is disclosed, which is placed between the surface of a forming mold or mold magnet and a fastener strip that is to be molded into a foam object. The mold shim compensates for the variability of the mold surface and provides a more even surface for the fastener strip to seal against —thereby preventing fouling of the strip's fastening elements during the molding process. Alternative embodiments of the invention are not used with a fastener strip, but instead have engaging members on their non-mold-proximate surface for engaging clips or wires which are thereby embedded into the foam object during the molding process.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fastener strip having magnetically attractable particles which are not located across the entire volume of the strip, but rather are incorporated in a discrete, distinct area of the strip. The fastener strip has a base and many hook pieces which rise from a fastening surface of the base. One embodiment has a magnetically attractable body in a row which rises from the surface of the base and is located along a substantially center line of the fastener strip. The magnetically attractable particles are incorporated in the magnetically attractable body and a part of the base located below the magnetically attractable body, and the magnetically attractable particles are not dispersed across the whole area of the base. A method of manufacturing such a strip is also described here.

Abstract: A fastener is disclosed with a fiber-covered element for anchoring the fastener in a finished foam seat cushion, and/or a fiber-covered element for sealing the fastening members of the fastener against fouling during the seat cushion molding process. The fiber-covered elements can additionally be magnetically attractable, and serve to temporarily secure the fastener to the forming mold during the molding process.

Abstract: A sheet material which may be used for a closure system adapted to receive surface fasteners. The sheet material may be used for the manufacture of containers, such as bags and provides a primary form of closure as well as a secondary form of closure which allows for tamper proofing an packaged product prior to its initial opening followed by a one or two part secondary closure system.

Abstract: This invention provides a fastener strip in which fastening elements form a fastener layer on a front face of the fastener strip. Rows of vertical members are disposed along each of the side edges of the fastener layer and each row comprises vertical members formed with an appropriate interval between them for controlling the degree of foam penetration during the molding process. The vertical members anchor the fastener strip to an object during molding of the object and form an effective seal against fouling of the fastening elements.

Abstract: The invention is a fastener strip (10) with vent holes (12) through the base layer (15), underneath hooks (11) or other fastening elements, to prevent air from being trapped beneath fastener strip (10) when it is placed on a forming mold (16) in a foam object molding process. Side sealing means (13), end sealing means (14), and magnetic or other holding means may also be incorporated into fastener strip 10.

Abstract: The invention is a deep-groove fastener which securely retains a seat cover within the groove of a deeply contoured seat bun. The fastener comprises an elongated body generally concave in cross section and having an interior cavity. A plurality of notched ridges are located on the surface of the interior cavity. The notched ridges serve as fastening elements for engaging loop or other material attached to the underside of a seat cover. Anchor elements are located on the exterior, non-cavity surface of the main body, to aid in anchoring the invention within a foam seat bun. The main body additionally comprises two flange-like sealing legs having a relatively flat bottom surface, to seal the sides of the invention against fouling during the seat bun molding process. Magnetically attractable particles are incorporated into the sealing legs, to hold the invention securely to a magnetized seat bun forming mold.

Abstract: The invention is a wire loom constructed from a strip of plastic hook fastener material, which holds a single wire or cable in position, or a bundle of wires or cables together. The wire loom is formed by stretching the hook fastener material along its lengthwise dimension, and has a curled center portion forming a tubular channel in which wires or cable are inserted and retained, and two uncurled end portions. The hook layer side of the loom can be secured to a strip or patch of mating loop material located on a panel, frame member, or other object, to hold the wires or cable in a desired position. An additional strip of loop material may be wrapped around the center of the loom or placed longitudinally on the loom for extra wire-retaining strength.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fastener strip having magnetic powders which are not located across a whole volume of a strip but are incorporated in each discrete distinct area of the strip. The fastener strip has a base plate and many hook pieces which rise from a fastening surface of the base plate. Further, the fastener strip has a magnetic body in a row which rises from the surface of the base plate as well as is located below a substantially center line of the fastener strip. The magnetic powders are incorporated in the magnetic body and a part of the base plate located below the magnetic body, and the magnetic powders are not dispersed across the whole area of the base plate. A method of manufacturing such a strip is also described here.

Abstract: The invention is a hook fastener strip (10), having magnetically attractable wires (13a,b,c,&d) which are located between, and retained by, hook members (11) on the front face of the fastener strip (10). Each hook member (11) is comprised of a shaft (14) and a split-mushroom-shaped head (15). The outer edges of head (15) protrude beyond the sides of shaft (14), and the undersides of the outer edges form ledges (16a&b) which serve to retain the magnetically attractable wires (13a,b,c,&d) within the hook layer of the fastener strip (10). The magnetically attractable wires (13a,b,c,&d) within the fastener strip allow it to be secured to a correspondingly magnetically attractive object.
