US Patent:

50606832, Oct 29, 1991

Filed:

Jan 24, 1991

Appl. No.:

7/645261

Inventors:

Carl G. Seiz - Hatfield PA
Clyde G. Robinson - Lansdale PA

Assignee:

Continental Installers Corporation - Perkasie PA

International Classification:

B08B 308
B65H 23192

US Classification:

134 64R

Abstract:

A process and apparatus for removing oxides, millscale and other impurities from continuous metal strip longitudinally fed at regulated speeds from a coil at one end through a series of horizontally aligned treatment stages, including three shallow pickling tanks, to a recoiler at the other end. The pickling tanks are constructed of granite slabs formed into a V-shaped cross section near the ingress and a flat ramp near the egress. Variable speed pinch rolls at the ends of each tank regulate the immersion of the strip in the tanks.

Appl. No.:

6/704285

Inventors:

Carl G. Seiz - Hatfield PA
Clyde G. Robinson - Lansdale PA

Assignee:

Variable Control Systems, Inc. - Telford PA

International Classification:

B60T 822

US Classification:

193 40

Abstract:

The speed of a pallet as it descends down a pair of inclined rails in a flow rack is controlled by a series of speed-control wheels mounted on axles fastened to frame members located underneath the pallet. A tapered roller bearing is interposed between each axle and wheel to mount the wheel for combined rotary motion and axial motion. Brake pads are mounted on the frame member for engaging a braking surface on the wheel as it moves axially in response to the pallet load. The brake pads apply friction to the wheel for slowing the speed of the pallet. A bar is provided adjacent the lower end of each rail for engaging the speed control wheels on the pallets to increase the axial pressure thereon and to increase friction for arresting the pallets and separating the same.
