20100288193 | Film Transfer Tool with Application Head Moveable between Exposed and Stowed Positions - A film transfer tool includes an application head which is adapted to be moved to a stowed position and a reel assembly having a wall and two stopping members extended therefrom. The reel assembly and a shell have an active member disposed therebetween. The active member has a looped passage that the two stopping members are adapted to move thereon and the two stopping members can make the reel assembly position in a retained position in which the head extends outside the shell, and release the reel assembly from the retained position in order that the head is stowed inside the shell. | 11-18-2010 |
20120279441 | SYSTEM FOR CONTINUOUS FEEDING OF FILLER MATERIAL FOR FRICTION STIR WELDING, PROCESSING AND FABRICATION - The present invention relates to tools and methods for disposing, coating, repairing, or otherwise modifying the surface of a metal substrate using frictional heating and compressive/shear loading of a consumable metal against the substrate. Embodiments of the invention include friction-based fabrication tooling comprising a non-consumable member with a throat and a consumable member disposed in the throat, wherein consumable filler material is capable of being introduced to the throat in a continuous manner during deposition using frictional heating and compressive/shear loading of the filler material onto the substrate. Preferred embodiments according to the invention include such tools operably configured for applying a force or displacement to the filler material during deposition. Especially preferred embodiments can include using various powder-type consumable materials or combinations during the deposition process to obtain a continuous compositional gradient in the filler material yielding a functionally graded coating on the substrate. | 11-08-2012 |
20120279442 | SELF-REACTING FRICTION STIR WELDING TOOL WITH THE ABILITY TO ADD FILLER MATERIAL - The present invention relates to tools and methods for welding, coating, repairing, or otherwise modifying the surface of a metal substrate. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide self-reacting friction stir welding tools which have an internal channel that allows filler materials to be added to the weld joint or otherwise friction stir processed area. Embodiments also provide friction stir tooling having upper and lower shoulders disposed at a fixed distance from one another and connected by a fixed split-pin. The tooling can be configured for automatically dispensing varying amounts of filler material into the tooling in response to variations in thickness of a substrate being processed. | 11-08-2012 |
20140033970 | Method and Device for Coating of a Medical Implant - The invention relates to a method for coating of a medical implant that can be used to apply a calcium salt to the surface of a medical implant easily and without expensive coating equipment and little expenditure of time. | 02-06-2014 |
20140174344 | FEED ROLLER TYPE SYSTEM FOR CONTINUOUS FEEDING OF FILLER MATERIAL FOR FRICTION STIR WELDING, PROCESSING AND FABRICATION - The present invention relates to tools and methods for disposing, coating, repairing, or otherwise modifying the surface of a metal substrate using frictional heating and compressive/shear loading of a consumable metal against the substrate. Embodiments of the invention include friction-based fabrication tooling comprising a non-consumable member with a throat and a consumable member disposed in the throat, wherein consumable filler material is capable of being introduced to the throat in a continuous manner during deposition using frictional heating and compressive/shear loading of the filler material onto the substrate. Preferred embodiments according to the invention include such tools operably configured for applying a force or displacement to the filler material during deposition. Especially preferred embodiments can include using various powder-type consumable materials or combinations during the deposition process to obtain a continuous compositional gradient in the filler material yielding a functionally graded coating on the substrate. | 06-26-2014 |
20140299051 | FRICTION APPLICATION DEVICE - The invention relates to a friction application device having an application element which is movable by means of a moving device on a surface of a workpiece and in a relative movement with respect to the surface of the workpiece, wherein at least one supporting tool which is in contact with the application element and prevents bead formation on the application element is arranged in the contact region between the application element and the surface of the workpiece. | 10-09-2014 |
118077000 | Running length work | 4 |
20160039242 | MARKING DEVICE FOR A PERSONAL MOBILITY VEHICLE - A marking device that is supported by a personal mobility vehicle, such as a scooter, is movable from a first position, in which the marking device does not contact the riding surface, and a second position, in which the marking device contacts the riding surface. The marking device includes an attachment portion and a marking portion that creates markings on the riding surface as a result of frictional contact with the riding surface. The marking device can also include an actuation portion which is accessible to the user and allows the user to move the marking device to the second position. In one arrangement, the marking device includes an elastic marking member which is configured to bend in order to maintain contact with the riding surface. | 02-11-2016 |
20160159139 | MANUAL APPLICATOR - The invention relates to the field of manual applicators, and in particular a manual applicator for applying a material on a substrate such as a sheet of paper. The manual applicator comprises a housing, an applicator endpiece projecting beyond a front opening of the housing, and a C-shaped handle. In a first section plane and in at least one section plane different from the first section plane and not parallel with the first section plane, the housing presents the same external outline adapted to be pressed into an internal outline of the handle, thereby enabling the handle to be fastened in a first orientation and alternatively in at least one second orientation different from the first orientation, the handle being oriented in the first section plane in the first orientation and in the second section plane in the second orientation. The first and second section planes are substantially in alignment with a longitudinal axis of the housing. | 06-09-2016 |

20130327267 | VALVE DEVICE FOR HIGH VOLTAGE CABLE INSULATOR MANUFACTURING - A valve device for use in a feeding apparatus releases raw material into raw material processing machinery for the manufacture of high-voltage cable. The valve device includes a valve body including a first valve member having a conical shape and including at least one opening extending between a tip of the first valve member and a corresponding base portion of the first valve member, and a second valve member including at least one cover element. One of the valve members is rotatable with respect to the other valve member between a first operating position in which the at least one cover element uncovers the at least one opening, thereby allowing the raw material to flow through the valve device, and a second operating position in which the at least one cover element covers the at least one opening, thereby preventing raw material from flowing through the valve device. | 12-12-2013 |
20160184858 | Dispenser for Thread Treatment Compound - A thread conditioner dispenser is provided as well as a method of conditioning thread. The dispenser has a storage and dispensing unit and a cap unit. The storage/dispensing unit has multiple resilient plinths and a generally planar base defining a cavity. Notches are defined between the plinths. Multiple linear channels are defined in the base. One channel connects each notch with a diametrically opposed notch. The plinths define a cylindrical sidewall. The cap has a cylindrical sidewall defining an outwardly flaring mouth to engage the plinths. One of the cap inner sidewall and the storage/dispensing sidewall has an annular recess. At least one lug is formed into the other sidewall for engagement with the annular recess. Thread may be passed through one of the notches and into one of the channels and withdrawn through the diametrically opposed notch while the cap sidewall is engaged with the storage and dispensing sidewall. | 06-30-2016 |
