Separate streams of saturated brine and a dose mix of liquid sugar or dextrose, water and additional ingredients useful in curing, are strained, metered and combined whereafter the combined stream is cooled and stored against need in curing operations.

A manufacturing process and apparatus for making surgeon' gloves utilizing a plurality of pallets, each pallet with a plurality of glove forms thereon, moving sequentially through a plurality of stations which form a closed loop. The pallets and glove forms are removably mounted to facilitate substitution of other pallets with other sizes of forms.

A manufacturing system having one or more loading and unloading stations and a plurality of spaced apart numerically controlled machine tools, the operation of which is effected by direct computer control. The manufacturing system includes a workpiece supply system comprising a closed loop trackway on which one or more cars are supported for guided movement to the various stations. The car carries a pallet on which a work holding fixture with a workpiece is secured, and transports the pallet to ...

Reduction of radial runout of a tire tread is combined with reduction of variation of radial force exerted by the tire on a load roll representing a road surface. The variations (i.e., in force and/or in runout) are measured by known electronic circuitry which also provide signals used to regulate the amount of and determine the location of material to be removed from the tire by grinding. Reduction of force variation is made by grinding wheels positioned to remove material at the lateral edges ...

An apparatus is provided for continuously and automatically forming a fastening material in the form of a sheet or strip containing a multitude of filament-like fastening formations protruding from at least one surface thereof and capable of hooking engagement with similar or differently configured formations provided in a second sheet or strip. In one form, the filamentary formations are continuously or intermittently molded in a plurality of preformed strips of plastic which may be extrusion f...

A manufacturing machine such as an automatic assembly machine is disclosed which includes a work station which can include linear motion devices and rotary motion devices. A conveyor system is disclosed for transporting a workpiece to and from the work station, and a positioning arrangement is disclosed for precisely positioning the workpiece to the work station.

A process for making a dispersion-based asbestos strand for later twisting to form a yarn comprises (a) forming an elongate continuous stream from an aqueous coagulable dispersion comprised of asbestos fibres, water and dispersion-forming chemicals; (b) coagulating said dispersion in said stream to form a self-sustaining asbestos fibre strand containing coagulated dispersion-forming chemicals together with uncoagulated residues thereof and water; (c) while said strand is in an untwisted state re...

Cheese is manufactured by conveying a separated curd intermittently for at least one cycle about a first closed conveying path until it develops, turning the curd during each cycle, and standing the curd during each cycle until it knits, and conveying developed curd for at least one cycle about a second closed conveying path until it heals. Prior to the healing step, developed curd may be fed to a mill and cut into pieces. Salt may be applied to the pieces by a blower during each cycle along the...
