Apparatus for heat treating plastic belts

Apparatus performs programed rotating, stretching/shrinking and heat treatment necessary to fabrication of high-performance plastic belts. Belts can be treated in lengths varying from 7 to 48 in., in widths up to 1 in., and in thicknesses up to approximately 0.003 in

Apparatus for forming drive belts

An apparatus for manufacturing belts, such as seamless belts, is provided, the apparatus has relatively movable rollers that are mounted in an oven. A belt blank, for example, of a thin polyester film, is rotated on the rollers as heat is applied. Four rollers, each mounted on a separate roller assembly, are movable along appropriate tracks while a fifth centrally located roller is stationary. A pair of dc motors are operatively connected to a speed reduction gear assembly to provide a pair of rotating drive shafts that extend into the oven. One rotating shaft drives all of the rollers through a rotational gear assembly while the other drive shaft is capable of positioning the movable rollers through respective rotating threaded shafts. Control devices are provided for controlling the motors while measuring devices are operatively connected to the positional drive shaft to indicate the position of the rollers

Shock-absorbent mountings for bearings

Inner and outer concentric rings are separated by a number of S-shaped rectangular leaf springs. The spring mounting will protect a bearing and its shaft from shock

High impact pressure regulator Patent

High impact pressure regulator having minimum number of lightweight movable element

High impact pressure regulator withstands impacts of over 15,000 g

High impact pressure regulator used with a high impact gas scannograph withstands impacts of over 15,000 g. By the passage of fluid through the first and second chambers of the regulator, the pressure of the scannograph is regulated from a specific input valve to the desired output pressure valve
