Abstract:
The invention relates to a support plate of a doctor in a fiber web machine. The support plate (10) is designed to be removably fitted to a blade holder (16) and to support a doctor (15) in the blade holder (16). The support plate (10) includes sensor devices (18) for detecting that a drop through has accrued either upstream from the doctor or at the doctor. The invention also relates to a doctor assembly of a fiber web machine and a method in a doctor of a fiber web machine.
Abstract:
A cake decorating assembly, kit, and method of use comprising a mount which includes a longitudinally extending member. The assembly further comprises a top blade subassembly, a lateral blade subassembly, a gauge subassembly, and a cutting subassembly, all of which may be removably attached to the longitudinally extending member. All of the top blade subassembly, the lateral blade subassembly, the gauge subassembly, and the cutting subassembly may be vertically adjusted relative to the longitudinally extending member, while the gauge subassembly may also be horizontally adjusted relative to the longitudinally extending member. The cake decorating assembly provides for, e.g., the efficient decoration of a cake and further assists, e.g., in the even distribution of frosting on a cake.
Abstract:
A coating apparatus includes: a slot die configured to apply coating solution on a support by discharging the coating solution from a tip of a slot and forming a coating solution bead in a clearance between the tip of the slot and the support; a pipe through which the coating solution is fed to a pocket of the slot die; an orifice formed in the pipe at a position nearer a circumference of a circular cross section in a radial direction of the pipe in relation to a center of the circular cross section; a forward tapered inlet channel which is formed at an entrance side of the orifice in the pipe and whose aperture narrows to the orifice; a rearward tapered outlet channel which is formed at an exit side of the orifice in the pipe and whose aperture grows toward a downstream.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to construction tools. The present invention includes tools used for applying mastic or mud to a work surface, for example, a flat box mastic applicator tool, blade assembly, and/or blade adjustment system, that have many improvements too numerous to mention all in the Abstract. The flat box mastic applicator may include unique walls. The blade assembly may have a non-uniform cross section, e.g., a blade holder with thinner areas and/or material removed at various locations along its lateral length. The blade holder may have a larger size outer end(s) to withstand bending or braking. The blade holder may have and arched shape, ribs or bumps for holding a blade more firmly, and a ridge or bump at its outer edge to act as a dam. The blade adjustment system may include symmetrical pins or posts and a tapered leaf spring. See further improvements herein.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for coating are disclosed. The coating apparatus of the present invention, which include: a transporting part configured to transport a substrate; a coating part configured to coat a coating material on the substrate; and a squeegee installed to remove an excessive coating material after the substrate passes through the coating part and being moveable along a transporting path of the substrate, can carry out the coating operation and the squeegeeing operation together, thereby reducing the lead time of the coating operation of the substrate and increasing the productivity. By integrating the conventional coating device and squeegeeing device, the space required for installation can be saved, and the quality of coating can be improved because conditions for coating can be adjusted.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses an adjustable film applicator which comprises an applicator body, a first knife, a second knife, a first fixing apparatus, a second fixing apparatus, a pair of first adjusting screws, and a pair of second adjusting screws. The first and second knife are adjusted to a first and second height by adjusting the first and second adjusting screws, wherein the second height is greater than the first height.
Abstract:
A fastening structure which fixes a doctor blade to a holder is provided, which includes a cylindrical portion provided on one surface of the holder with which a doctor blade is overlapped, a through hole having an inner diameter larger than an outer diameter of the cylindrical portion and penetrating through the doctor blade. In the fastening structure, while the cylindrical portion is inserted through the through hole with a gap between an outer circumference of the cylindrical portion and an inner circumference of the through hole, an end portion of the cylindrical portion is pressed to be expanded in an outer circumferential direction and then bent towards the doctor blade, to thereby fix the doctor blade to the holder by supporting it between the end portion and the one surface of the holder.
Abstract:
Equipment for changing a blade (43) in a coating device (51) changes several blades (43) arranged in a band (43). The equipment includes reels (11, 40) connected to the ends of the blade holder (45), for holding the reeled unused and used band (43); transfer devices (13, 20) for moving the band (43) in connection with the blade holder (45), and lifting devices (17) for lifting the band (43) up and lowering it into the blade holder (45). Indentations (44) at least the length of the hollow shaft (52) are arranged at regular intervals on the band (43), and are arranged to permit the blade (43) to be lowered into the blade holder (45).
Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus for coating at least one substrate web (19) or laminating at least one substrate web (22) onto a substrate web (19) that is coated with adhesives (21) so as to form a laminate (24). Said apparatus comprises a dosing device that is assigned to an application roller (16) used for applying adhesive (21) as well as a counterpressure roller (17) which is allocated to the application roller (16) and between which the at least one substrate web (19) is fed in order to apply the adhesive (21). The dosing device (14) is disposed so as to be movable relative to the application roller (16) in order to adjust a width of the dosing gap (28). The inventive apparatus is characterized in that the dosing device (14) encompasses at least two different areas (34, 37) which can be selectively assigned to a closing gap (28) in order to apply adhesive (21).
