Filed:

Oct 4, 1988

Appl. No.:

7/253118

Inventors:

Eugene M. Lorincz - Cinnaminson NJ
Ronald J. Steele - Wyndmoor PA

Assignee:

Moore Push-Pin Company - Wyndmoor PA

International Classification:

B32B 3500

US Classification:

156577

Abstract:

This invention is a dispenser for a transfer adhesive. The dispenser is less expensive to manufacture than comparable dispensers of the prior art, because it uses a single reel to perform the functions previously performed by two separate elements. A supply reel feeds a transfer adhesive tape to a take-up reel, which also acts as an applicator roller. The supply and take-up reels are connected together such that rotation of one causes rotation of the other. The user holds the dispenser so that the take-up reel presses firmly against the surface onto which the adhesive is to be applied. As the dispenser is moved along that surface, the take-up reel rotates due to friction, depositing adhesive and causing the supply reel to deliver more tape. The take-up and supply reels can be connected by gears or by a friction drive. If gears are used, they can be of a modified form which allows the take-up reel to drive the supply reel in only one direction.

Abstract:

Incorporating a minor amount of a hydrogen bonding additive such as nylon 6 monomer or 2-methyl-pentamethylene adipamide monomer in a nylon 66 high RV polymer for making nylon 66 POY provides unexpected downstream advantages over homopolymer nylon 66 POY, especially in draw-texturing to make bulky yarns for use in hosiery.

Appl. No.:

7/252596

International Classification:

F16H 5502
F16H 5508

US Classification:

74462

Abstract:

A modified gear operates in one direction only. The modified gear can be driven in either direction by a standard gear, but will drive another gear in only one direction. Every other tooth of the modified gear is partly cut away to form a step. The remaining sides are cut away to delay engagement with a driven gear. The sides of the teeth preferably have the shape of an involute curve, and each tooth is preferably cut along a line segment beginning at the midpoint of the top land of the tooth, and continuing along a path generally parallel to one side of the tooth. The step is located at a predetermined radial distance from the top land, this distance being a certain fraction of the total depth of the tooth. The modified gear can be used to drive, or be driven by, a conventional unmodified gear. It can also drive, or be driven by, another gear which has been modified in the manner described above.
