US Patent:

57859965, Jul 28, 1998

Filed:

Nov 27, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/757203

Inventors:

James G. Snyder - Newark OH

Assignee:

Owens Corning Fiberglas Technology, Inc. - Summit IL

International Classification:

D01D 518

US Classification:

425 8

Abstract:

A fiber manufacturing apparatus including a spinner, mounted on one end of a rotatable shaft, and a source supplying two streams of at least one molten thermoplastic material to the spinner. The spinner includes a radial extension, a radial wall, and an outer peripheral wall. The radial extension is mounted to and extends radially out from the shaft. The radial wall is mounted to and extends radially out from the radial extension. The radial wall includes an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer periphery. The peripheral wall is disposed around the outer periphery of the radial wall and has a plurality of orifices for centrifuging fibers from at least one molten thermoplastic material. During the operation of the spinner, the radial extension directs one stream of molten thermoplastic material through at least one flow hole to the lower surface of the radial wall and to orifices of the peripheral wall. As the spinner rotates, another stream of molten thermoplastic material is deposited directly onto the upper surface of the radial wall and travels along the upper surface to orifices of the peripheral wall.

Appl. No.:

8/395542

Inventors:

James G. Snyder - Newark OH

Assignee:

Owens Corning Fiberglas Technology, Inc. - Summit IL

International Classification:

B29B 900

US Classification:

425 8

Abstract:

Apparatus is provided for extending the life of spinners by means of reinforcement which includes a plurality of arms secured to the bottom wall of a spinner either individually or via an annular plate from which the arms extend. The reinforcement applies a radially inward force on a flange extending from the top or center of an outer sidewall of the spinner. The arms exert the radial force as the result of offset cams, due to a prestressed condition which is released after the reinforcement is installed in a spinner or otherwise. If the spinner includes both a center flange and an upper flange, the reinforcement may be installed to engage the center flange with gussets interconnecting the center flange and the upper flange at least at locations corresponding to the reinforcement to thereby provide reinforcement for both flanges. If the reinforcement is formed integrally as an annular plate with arms extending therefrom, the flange to be directly reinforced can be notched to receive the reinforcement by a bayonet coupling motion.

Appl. No.:

8/502038

Inventors:

James G. Snyder - Newark OH

Assignee:

Owens-Corning Fiberglas Technology Inc. - Summit IL

International Classification:

C03B 3704

US Classification:

65461

Abstract:

The method for forming fibers by introducing molten material into a spinner having a peripheral wall having a plurality of orifices and centrifuging the molten material through the orifices to create fibers, discharging gases from an opening in a first annular blower, the first blower positioned radially outward from the spinner, and where the gases from the first annular blower converge radially inwardly with respect to the spinner axis to partially attenuate the fibers and influence the flow path of the fibers towards a direction parallel to the spinner axis, and discharging gases from an opening in a second annular blower, the second blower being positioned radially outward from the first blower, and where the gases from the second annular blower converge radially inwardly with respect to the spinner axis to complete the attenuation of the fibers and influence the flow path of the fibers.

International Classification:

C03B 3706

US Classification:

65458

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for distributing fibrous material includes establishing a flow of fibrous material, positioning at least two flow distributors in a position to direct a gaseous flow into contact with the flow of fibrous material, such as a flow of glass fibers, each flow distributor having an outer surface having one or more openings for the emission of gas, an inner surface having one or more orifices for the emission of gas, and a pressurized source of gas in contact with the inner surface, the inner surface being moveable with respect to the outer surface to intermittently align some of the openings with some of the orifices, thereby enabling gas from the pressurized source of gas to be emitted through the inner and outer surfaces and into contact with the flow of fibrous material to distribute the fibrous material, and moving one of the surfaces relative to the other of the surfaces to control the emission of gas from the flow distributor.

Appl. No.:

8/314034

Assignee:

United Technologies Corporation - Hartford CT

International Classification:

F16J 1548

US Classification:

277 53

Abstract:

A brush seal assembly includes a tab extending outward and engageable with a brush seal retainer. Various construction details are disclosed that provide a tab that prevents rotation of the brush seal during use and also prevents reverse installation of the brush seal assembly. In a particular embodiment, a brush seal assembly for installation within a carrier includes a tab that fits radially within a cut-out in a retaining means. Engagement with the cut-out prevents rotation. The tab extends outward from the low pressured side of the brush seal assembly. If installed in a reverse orientation, the tab engages the carrier to block installation of the retaining means.
