Abstract: A method and assembly for making a power transmission belt having driving teeth on opposite surfaces thereof and a tensile member embedded therein. The disclosure also relates to a belt made by the method and apparatus.

Abstract: A conveyor belt is formed with depressions which are bounded by sealing edges, and tiles corresponding to the outline of the respective depressions are continuously admitted from above onto the belt and inserted into the depressions so as to be in sealing contact with the respective sealing edges. A layer of hardenable synthetic plastic material is then deposited on the belt over the tiles so that the latter are partially embedded in and united by the layer when the same hardens, thereby obtaining a unitary structure. Subsequently this structure is subdivided in plate elements of desired size.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for forming dough and dough pieces to a thickness of as little as 1 mm. The apparatus generally comprises a plurality of powered externally rotated rollers spaced above a plurality of moving conveyor belts. The dough is pressed and stretched without breaking by the action of said rollers and said conveyor belts.

Abstract: The invention relates to a candle-wicking machine which automatically operates to insert a candle wick into a candle after the candle has been formed to its desired shape. A plurality of candles can be wicked at the same time. Essentially, wicking material is cut to length, and then engaged near one end with a wicking rod that is forced down into the candle carrying the wicking material with it and depositing the wicking material into the candle on removal of the wicking rod. The essence of the invention lies in proper association of the wicking material with the wicking rod, cutting the wicking material to proper length, and the engagement of the wicking rod with the wicking material to force it into the candle.

Abstract: A method of, and apparatus for manufacturing a flexible plastics hose the method comprising extruding a strip of a first plastics material and a reinforcing element of a second plastics material, winding said strip into a helix around a driven mandrel and bonding adjacent turns together by pressure applied between the mandrel and roller means external thereof to form a tubular wall of said plastics material and simultaneously winding said reinforcing element around the helix of said first plastics material in spaced apart helical turns and pressing it into the first plastics material by said roller means so as to partially embed said reinforcing element into said tubular wall.
