US Patent:

7432480, Oct 7, 2008

Filed:

Dec 9, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/527860

Inventors:

Timothy E. Wilson - Wakeman OH, US
Howard Podolny - Medina OH, US
Raymond J. Baxter - Vermilion OH, US

Assignee:

Nordson Corporation - Westlake OH

International Classification:

H05B 6/02
H05B 6/10

US Classification:

219629, 219635

Abstract:

In an induction heater, preheated, pressurized air is further heated in the heating cabinet and also drawn into the coil tube via a suction fan. The simultaneous pulling and pushing of the twice-heated air through the tube provides superior air flow to pick up more moisture from the can ends being dried. The tube ends rest on upwardly concave collars and are held in place by gravity, with a single screw acting as a stop above to prevent upward movement. Removal requires only removing the single screw at each end then lifting the tube straight up out of the cabinet, which is facilitated by providing a hinged cover on the cabinet.

13/104235

Inventors:

Raymond Baxter - Vermilion OH, US
Howard Podolny - Medina OH, US
Robert Zuccarelli - Amherst OH, US

Assignee:

Nordon Corporation - Westlake OH

International Classification:

B05D 3/02
H05B 6/04

US Classification:

427543, 219660, 219653

Abstract:

An induction heater includes an electrically conductive coil that produces an alternating magnetic field when current is applied to the coil. The magnetic field is used to heat metal containers such as tubular containers. The coil extends about a heating path of travel that extends along the longitudinal axis of the coil. A transport device is provided to move the container through the magnetic field such that the longitudinal axis of the container is generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the coil. This allows for heating the container at the twelve and six o'clock positions. The transport device functions to roll the container along the heating path. In a preferred embodiment, the coil is wrapped about a core with a generally rectangular shape. Ferromagnetic members may optionally be used to further shape the magnetic field. The methods and apparatus may be used for regular or irregularly shaped containers.

Filed:

May 23, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/447431

Inventors:

Donald R. Scharf - Amherst OH
Raymond J. Baxter - Vermilion OH

Assignee:

Nordson Corporation - Westlake OH

International Classification:

B05C 500

US Classification:

118320

Abstract:

An automated coating system includes a first coating station where a coating material is sequentially applied to bearing assemblies while a first side of each bearing assembly faces upward. A conveyor sequentially moves the bearing assemblies to a turning station where the bearing assemblies are turned over. The conveyor then moves the bearing assemblies to a second coating station where coating material is sequentially applied to the bearing assemblies while second sides of the bearing assemblies face upward. The conveyor then moves the bearing assemblies to a rotating station where an inner bearing race is rotated relative to an outer bearing race to promote even distribution of the coating material.
