Deflection roller with mechanical stop
Patent number: 6524228
Abstract: A roller (100) for the pressure treatment of fabric webs includes a hollow cylinder (1), rotatable about its axis A and bearing the working roller periphery (4). A non-rotatable crosshead (5) extends through the hollow cylinder (1) along its length, leaving all around a distance with respect to the inner circumference (2) of the hollow cylinder (1). The cylinder (1) is supported at the ends on external support pieces. A support device (10) is arranged on the crosshead (5) and acts radially in the active plane (W) of the roller (100) against the inner circumference (2) of the hollow cylinder (1). The support device transmits from the crosshead (5) to the hollow cylinder (1) the forces that are necessary for creating the line forces exerted by the roller (100). Provided laterally on the crosshead (5) is a hydrostatic support element (30) acting radially perpendicular to the active plane (W) of the roller (100) against the inner circumference (2) of the hollow cylinder (1).

Non woven textile structure incorporating stabilized filament assemblies
Publication number: 20030036329
Abstract: A plurality of substantially parallel continuous filaments, e.g. of cellulose acetate or rayon, and preferably newly formed, are consolidated or partially stabilised, e.g. by application of solvent and pressure, by hydroentanglement, by embossing, or by crimping and stretching. The filament assembly or subassemblies thus produced are further stablised by folding, bundling, twisting or intertwining, e.g. to form braids (10), and are then bonded to a carrier layer or sandwiched between outer layers (12, 14), e.g. by hydroentanglement, melt blowing, spinbonding etc. The stablised filament assemblies may be arranged spaced transversely and may be cut just prior to bonding so as also to provide longitudinally spaced three dimensionally thicker regions, ready for conversion to finished products such as absorbant feminine hygiene products or medical swabs or the like.

Exhaust system for a motor vehicle
Publication number: 20030033801
Abstract: An exhaust system used for a motor vehicle and extending between an exhaust-generating internal combustion engine and an exhaust pipe for release of exhaust into the surrounding environment, includes a three-way catalytic converter disposed in proximity of the combustion engine, a NOx-adsorber disposed upstream of the exhaust pipe, and an exhaust line, which extends between the catalytic converter and the NOx-adsorber, for conducting exhaust. The exhaust line includes an inner tube, an outer tube in spaced-apart surrounding relationship to the inner tube to define a space, and a separation tube received in the space, to thereby define between the inner tube and the separation tube an inner annular gap for conducting exhaust, and between the outer tube and the separation tube an outer annular gap for conducting a coolant. A shut-off device is integrated in the inner tube for regulating the flow of exhaust through the inner tube.

Method for the application of a layer remaining permanently adhesive onto the inside of a breast prosthesis
Publication number: 20030034121
Abstract: A system is provided for application of a layer permanently adhering to the inside of a breast prosthesis formed as a shell-shaped body made from a soft-elastic material, in which a two-component silicone rubber forming the adhesive layer is injected into a mold prior to curing of the body and then cured together with the body. Alternatively, the two-component silicone rubber forming the adhesive layer is first cured in a shell, with the shell then being applied to the body in a mold and then cured again with the body. In a third alternative, the adhesive layer is cured while being joined to a carrier film, with the carrier film then being adhered to the prosthesis sheath which is then filled with addition-vulcanizing two-component silicone rubber and cured in a mold.
