Slitter for plastic film - has upper and lower plastic jaws with separate plastic tooth carrier held firmly in recess in upper jaw

A splitting device (1) for plastic film has a simpler design, which simplifies handling. The slitting teeth (9) are positioned at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the upper (2) and lower (3) jaws of the device (1) and are supported in a beam-shaped carrier (8) which has a greater width than the teeth (9). A recess in the upper jaw (2) which holds the teeth carrier (8) is designed as a trough (28) open at the bottom and has projections (27) which hold the teeth carrier (8) firmly in the jaw (2). The jaws (2,3) of the splitting device (1) are manufactured in polyamide (6), while the teeth carrier (8) is a 50% glass reinforced polyamide 66. USE/ADVANTAGE - Continuous slitting of plastic films. A simpler construction allows easier mfr. and handling. Tooth design ensures a slitting rather than a tearing action.

Methods for manufacturing a paint roller and component parts thereof

Described is a method of making a laminated paint roller wherein a perforated strip of thermoplastic material is advanced, the perforated strip having holes there-through. A lubricant is applied to the inner surface of the advancing perforated strip of thermoplastic material. The lubricated, perforated strip of thermoplastic material is helically wound around a cooled mandrel so as to form a helically wound strip wherein the inner surface of the perforated strip faces the cooled mandrel and the outer surface of the perforated strip faces away from the cooled mandrel. The wound perforated strip is advanced along the cooled mandrel. A layer of adhesive is applied onto an outer surface of the wound perforated strip. A strip of composite cover material is helically wrapped about the wound strip and over the layer of adhesive, the outer surface of the composite cover material comprising a pile fabric, and the inner surface of the composite cover material comprising thermoplastic. A compressive force is applied upon the composite cover material to urge the composite cover material, the layer of adhesive and strip of thermoplastic material together against the cooled mandrel, thereby laminating the inner surface of the composite cover material to the outer surface of the strip. A method of making a composite cover material is also disclosed.
