Abstract: An apparatus for automatically making sandwiches consisting of an upper and lower breadpiece with foodstuff disposed therebetween. The apparatus comprises an upper and a lower support with a lower and an upper breadpiece dispenser and a foodstuff dispenser connected to the upper support. A sandwich station is formed on the lower support and the apparatus is movable to a lower breadpiece dispensing station wherein a lower breadpiece is dispensed on the sandwich station. The apparatus also is movable to a foodstuff dispensing station wherein foodstuff is dispensed from the foodstuff dispenser onto the lower breadpiece, movable to an upper breadpiece dispensing wherein an upper breadpiece is disposed on the lower breadpiece with the foodstuff disposed therebetween, and movable to a discharge station wherein the sandwich disposed on the sandwich station is moved to a sandwich discharge position.
Abstract: There is described a device comprising, in combination with a wheel supported structure adapted to be moved on the road surface, an assembly having vertically elongated compartments for storage of long pot-life viscous components adapted to co-react when mixed together and to form promptly hardenable compounds adapted to form a layer on said road surface, to provide a sign thereon or to form a primer base for laying down and adhesively securing a tape thereto. The assembly also includes means for supporting and laying said tape on the freshly formed layer, as well as pneumatically operated motor and control means for controlling the movements and the sequence of operations of the device.
Abstract: A method is disclosed for applying rather viscous line marking material to road surfaces whereby simultaneously with the manufacturing of marking strips in the same continuous motion crossribs from the same material are shaped on the marking strips. The marking material flows out through a slit between the back edge of the bottom side and the lower edge of the back wall of a storage box, a periodical up- and down movement being imparted to this back wall for shaping the ribs, preferably by means of fast upward driving impulses each of one followed up by a separate downward driving impulse. Preferably the material is forced to flow out substantially in a direction at an angle of at least 30.degree. to the direction of movement of the storage box and the trailing end thereof is kept in engagement with the road surface.
