Appl. No.:

09/949700

Inventors:

Scott A. Beale - Saratoga Springs NY
Warren R. Hartwell - Rehoboth MA
Paul E. Bartley - Riverside RI

Assignee:

WRH Industries, Ltd. - Fall River MA

International Classification:

A23P 100

US Classification:

264337, 99324, 99426, 106 382, 106 386, 249134, 426515, 426523

Abstract:

Non-stick mold, tool or apparatus is used to convert a liquid or semi-solid material to an end product after the application of a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time. The non-stick mold, tool or apparatus includes a planar portion having at least one cavity. The cavity defined by a side wall that extends downwardly from the planar portion to a closed end. The non-stick mold, tool or apparatus is made from a blend of a fluoropolymer component and a food grade silicon rubber component.

Appl. No.:

9/049817

Inventors:

Scott Andrew Beale - Clifton Park NY
James Michael Ritter - Bennington VT

Assignee:

Tonoga Limited - Petersburgh NY

International Classification:

B65G 1100
B65G 1300

US Classification:

193 2R

Abstract:

A chute for supporting and facilitating transport of packages has a skived PTFE film adhesively bonded to a transport substrate. A pressure sensitive adhesive is pre-formed on and bonded to an entire surface of a first side of said skived PTFE film. Prior to installation, a release liner covers the adhesive. After the release liner is removed, the skived PTFE film with the pre-formed adhesive is attached to the substrate through the application of pressure to an opposite side of the film. The exposed opposite side of the film provides a lubricious transport surface on which packages move continuously without build-up. The film has a thickness which accommodates significant abrasion wear over time while continuing to provide a lubricious transport surface. The skived PTFE film may contain a carbon filler to prevent static electric build-up. The film can be applied over the whole transport substrate or only to wear paths.

Appl. No.:

9/410297

Inventors:

Scott Andrew Beale - Clifton Park NY
James Michael Ritter - Bennington VT

Assignee:

Tonoga Limited - Petersburgh NY

International Classification:

B65G 1100

US Classification:

193 20

Abstract:

A non-stick liner for facilitating the transport of objects along a stationary transport substrate comprises a fabric coated with PTFE, or a laminate of multiple layers of fabric coated with PTFE. The laminate may include a conductive material to dissipate electrical charge buildup. The liner may be selectively applied to identified portions of a stationary transport substrate where buildup, blocking, bridging, or sticking of objects has or is likely to occur. The liner may be mechanically fastened or adhesively bonded to the stationary transport substrate.
