An improved flexible die and cylinder for mounting such die. The flexible die consists of a substantially planar, flexible, sheet of metal which has been etched to form a cutting edge. The ends of the die include a plurality of spaced holes for mounting the die to the cylinder. A pair of depressions in the exterior of the cylinder mount lock bars. The lock bars include a plurality of pins which engage the holes in the die. The cylinder includes a support segment and a transport segment. Air pass...

A device for producing strip-shaped coatings of adhesive substance on moving webs or blanks, preferably of paper, board or the like, utilises a cylinder, rotating at the rhythm of the strips to be applied, having a longitudinal and annular groove and being surrounded on all sides by a housing with the exception of a narrow discharge slit required for transferring the adhesive substance. The device is particularly characterised in that a longitudinal groove extending at an angle or in herringbone...

A prophylactic which sits atop the glans penis, ahering to the annular region about the urethral opening and having integrally attached, adhesive covered extensions which lie adhered along the surface of the glans penis. The invention is manipulated during installation by holding a semi-rigid support structure which is either removable from the backside of the adhesive covered annular surface and extensions or integral to the same annular surface and extensions. An absorbent material is provided...

A method and a kit for adhering a glans cap, or micro-condom, to the glans of the penis. The kit contains a liquid adhesive and an applicator, a liquid solvent and an applicator, and a glans cap having a minimum of a reservoir, a pre-applied adhesive coating on the proximal surface of the annular flange, and a through-passage from the proximal surface of the annular flange into the reservoir.

A reusable adhesive envelope and a method and apparatus for making same. The envelope includes a pouch adapted to receive the contents and having an open edge. A flap is mounted adjacent this open edge and may be folded about a flap fold to close the pouch opening. The exterior of the pouch mounts a protective strip. The interior face of the flap mounts a pressure sensitive adhesive, which is initially covered by a release liner. Upon removing the release liner the adhesive on the flap may be se...

Blanks removed from a paper web are cut for the making of card envelopes with a printed closure or for the making of so-called banker envelopes with a broad closure. Blanks cut for the making of card envelopes must be turned in their plane before being conveyed for the following processing. The apparatus for turning the blanks includes a turntable with suction air bores, segmented rollers, a belt acting as a slideway and conveying chains.

The present invention relates to the insert for the drum of a device for producing shaped pads from fibrous material. These inserts are attached to a disk of the drum and are designed in accordance with the shape and size of the pads to be produced. To simplify the retrofittability of the device or the drum for the production of pads of another size or shape and the number of drum inserts which must be kept in stock, it is provided that the drum insert consists of a base body, which, in turn, co...

An approved method and apparatus for forming clasp envelopes. The apertures extending through the top and bottom panels of the envelope body and the clasp receiving aperture extending through the top flap are formed after the envelope has been completely assembled save for the folding of the top flap for shipping. This ensures that the apertures extending through the top and bottom panels of the envelope body are in perfect registration. Reinforcement tape is applied on the top flap of the envel...

Machine for producing envelopes has a flap folding apparatus whereby the flap of an envelope is optionally folded against its rear side, or after being previously folded is opened once again, or is folded against the front side of the envelope. The apparatus has a first suction cylinder and delivery discs. The invention is particularly characterized in that between the first suction cylinder and the delivery discs there are provided a second and third suction cylinder preceded by an adjustable s...

An apparatus for defiberizing a web of compressed material into fluff and then forming the fluff into pads, and a method of use of the apparatus. The apparatus includes a hammermill or other machine for performing the actual defiberizing. The fluff is then drawn by vacuum which is contained within a shroud, into insert molds which form fluff pads in any shape and contour desired. The insert molds are assembled into a drum which turns continuously such that the vacuum is applied to only certain o...
