20090250001 | AUTOMOTIVE TIRE DRESSING APPLICATOR - A tire dressing applicator comprises a support shaft mounted between the ends of a bracket and a plurality of tire dressing applicator foam rollers mounted on the shaft for rotation both with the shaft and in unison with one another and, as necessary when contacting a tire sidewall, relative to the shalt itself to prevent and/or reduce unnecessary roller wear. A drizzle-type system of dressing dispensers pipes drizzles dressing onto the outside surfaces of the rollers and a felt flap spreads the dressing and prevents waste which is characteristic of spray type systems. A quick-release mechanism associated with one end of the roller shaft where it is connected to the bracket permits the shaft to be released for the purpose of replacing worn rollers. Individual rollers are constructed using hard plastic cages which are adhesively bonded in toroidal foam volumes to prevent lateral scrunching or distortion of rollers during use. | 10-08-2009 |
20100116199 | Directional Extruded Bead Control - A micro-extrusion printhead assembly utilized in a micro-extrusion system to form parallel extruded lines of material on a substrate includes a material feed system for pushing/drawing materials out of extrusion nozzles defined in the printhead assembly, a Z-axis positioning mechanism, and a base. The micro-extrusion printhead includes a layered nozzle structure sandwiched between back and front plate structures. The layered nozzle structure includes stacked plates including top and bottom nozzle plates sandwiching a nozzle outlet plate. According to various embodiments, at least one of the nozzle structure materials of the printhead assembly, the output geometry of the printhead assembly, and the internal conduit geometry of the printhead assembly are modified to cause the bead traveling through the extrusion nozzle to be reliably directed (biased) toward the target substrate as it leaves the printhead nozzle orifice. | 05-13-2010 |
20100139558 | Painting application system - A painting system is provided and the system comprises: a first application device comprising opposing sides, the first application device comprises a pole adaptor directly and pivotably attached to the first side of the first application device, and the second side of the first application device is adaptable to receive a paint pad; and a second application device comprising opposing sides, the second application device comprises a handle situated on the first side of the second application device, and the second side of the second application device has a cavity for receiving the pole adaptor when the second application device is attached to the first application device. | 06-10-2010 |
20110168084 | Tire Dressing or Cleaning Apparatus with a Plurality of Mounted Rotating Brushes - An apparatus for dressing and/or cleaning tires of a vehicle. The apparatus has a plurality of brushes in a line, at least some of which further apply fluid onto the tire. | 07-14-2011 |
20110259264 | DEVICE FOR THE APPLICATION OF FLUID COATS TO SURFACES - Device for the application of fluid coats to surfaces. The device includes a main body ( | 10-27-2011 |
20110297078 | Drywall Mud Hopper for Inside and Outside Corners - A drywall hopper assembly that contains a double blade that can apply drywall mud to both interior and exterior drywall corners with no blade change. A zigzag blade can contain two grooves, one for interior corners and one for exterior corners. With this blade arrangement, an operator can quickly move from one type of corner to another without using multiple tools, multiple blades or hand application methods to apply mud. The present invention can contain a pliable release port to present mud equally to an interior or an exterior corner. There can be such a port on both the top and bottom of the blade so that mud is smoothly applied as trim moves through the hopper or the hopper is moved along the trim. | 12-08-2011 |
20120090540 | AUTOMOTIVE TIRE DRESSING APPLICATOR - A tire dressing applicator assembly comprises a linearly arranged series of toroidally-shaped plastic rollers having one or more beveled edges and reinforced for shape retaining purposes by pins which extend axially through the bodies of the elements outboard of a center opening which is adapted to receive a support shaft. | 04-19-2012 |
20120111266 | PROCESSING APPARATUS FOR PREPARING LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTING PLATES - A protective gum solution coating apparatus for coating a protective gum solution on a lithographic printing plate precursor comprises a pair of upstream side rollers in a gum section, a pair of downstream side rollers in the gum section, and a protective gum solution feeding device, wherein, in a plane orthogonal to the axes of the rollers. An upper roller of the pair of downstream side rollers inclines to a direction opposite to a direction where the lithographic printing plate precursor progresses so that an angle “a” between a line which links the centers of the lower roller and the upper roller of the pair of downstream side rollers and a line which links the center of the lower roller of the pair of downstream side rollers and the contact point CP becomes 0 | 05-10-2012 |
20120255488 | Methods and apparatuses for roll-on coating - Methods and apparatuses for a deposition system are provided to deposit a thin coating layer on flat substrates, such as semiconductors or panels. In an embodiment, liquid supplied rollers accepting liquid media provide liquid chemicals to the substrates for coating the substrates. The liquid delivery system can control the flow and the pressure of the liquid to achieve optimum process condition with minimum excess waste. In another embodiment, rollers with non-uniform distribution of liquid media provide a non-uniform thickness profile on the substrates, which can be used to compensate for the non-uniformity of subsequent processes. | 10-11-2012 |
20130340674 | PAPER COATING APPARATUS WITH MULTIPLE HOT WAX APPLICATORS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - A paper coater includes a frame, an entry guide roll and an exit guide roll both carried by the frame and along a path of travel of a continuous paper sheet. The paper coater includes independently controllable hot wax applicators carried by the frame between the entry and exit guide rolls. Each hot wax applicator includes a press roll, an engraved applicator roll opposite the press roll so that the continuous paper sheet is therebetween, and with the engraved applicator roll extending into a hot wax reservoir to pick up hot wax. Each wax applicator includes a doctor blade adjacent the engraved applicator roll to control a thickness of hot wax. At least one selectively operable positioner relatively moves the press and engraved applicator rolls between active and idle positions. The paper coater provides different wax application rates and can be reconfigured relatively quickly between different application rates. | 12-26-2013 |
20140090593 | APPLICATION APPARATUS AND APPLICATION METHOD - Before the application of a liquid application agent to a base material having at least an outer surface of uneven shape, a low-viscosity liquid having a lower viscosity than that of the application agent is applied to a region of the base material, the application agent being supposed to be applied to the region. The low-viscosity liquid is preferably a liquid having compatibility with the application agent. | 04-03-2014 |
20140338594 | MULTI-POLYMER GRIP MEMBER - A grip member and a method of making such a grip member including at least a polymerized region with two or more polymers. The first and second polymers cooperate to each form a portion of the top surface of the region. The region may be combined with a substrate to form a sheet. The sheet may be formed into a grip interface having any of a number of shapes including a panel shape. In the case of a panel shaped grip interface, the panel can then be attached to an underlisting sleeve to form the grip. Some versions of such a grip reduce impact shock and provide a feeling of tackiness in the manner of a spirally wrapped polyurethane-felt grip while allowing the use of multiple colors being polymerized together. The grip may be easily installed onto a golf club shaft and may further accommodate the use of polymers including various different characteristics including level of tackiness or durometer. | 11-20-2014 |
