This invention relates generally to the packaging and preservation of granular products. More specifically, the invention relates to an apparatus and method for flushing undesirable residual gases from a flow of granular product during a packaging of the product, the displacement of the undesirable gases from the product preserving the product's freshness.

This invention relates generally to the distribution of a flushing gas during a packaging process. More specifically, the invention relates to a system and method for cooling and distributing a flushing gas during such a process that utilizes the gas' lower temperature and increased density to both maintain the flushing gases' placement within a packaging container and displace any undesirable gases there-from.

This invention relates generally to the distribution of a flushing gas during a packaging process. More specifically, the invention relates to an apparatus and method for the distribution of a flushing gas that displaces an undesirable gas from a packaging container during such a process, the apparatus and method optimizing the displacement of the undesirable gas within the container while also minimizing associated equipment costs and cleaning efforts.

An apparatus for precisely cutting lengths of strip material includes a supply of strip material, a feed mechanism for conveying the strip material from the supply and a reciprocating cutter mounted downstream of the feed mechanism. An adjustable stop is movably mounted adjacent the cutter for engaging an end of the strip material and setting a precise length of the strip material being cut. An adjustment mechanism is coupled to the stop for moving the stop relative to the cutter along a longitudinal axis of the length of the strip material being cut.

A system for continuously manufacturing security tags involves supplying housing stock material in a continuous web from a supply station and then forming housing cavities in the housing stock material without separating the continuous web. Resonator strips are inserted in the housing cavities downstream of the plastic forming. The housing cavities with the inserted resonator strips are closed and sealed with lid stock material which is placed over the open ends of the housing cavities. Bias strips are attached to the outer surface of the lid stock material remote from the housing cavity. Cover strip material is then placed over the bias strips and outer surface of the lid stock material.

Enhanced controls added to conventional heating and air conditioning equipment provides a uniform comfort environment though out the structure. Enhanced control module monitors variously placed sensors within the structure and activates a conventional fan. The fan mixes air throughout the structure maintaining a uniform comfort though out economically.

A system for forming and sealing envelopes stuffs each envelope with an insert. Envelope blanks are received and fed to an envelope former. The envelope former partially forms the envelope blanks with a sealed longitudinal end and an open longitudinal end. Insert blanks are fed and are formed into inserts. The inserts are moved along longitudinal axes and into the open longitudinal ends of the partially formed envelope blanks parallel to the envelope longitudinal axes.

An adjustable rotary vane pump for changing the direction and rate of fluid flow through the pump. The pump comprises a first pump housing having a generally cylindrical chamber therein along a central axis of the housing. A second housing is provided having a second chamber therein coaxially oriented with the first housing. An insert member is provided in the second housing having an aperture therein of a given eccentricity. The insert member is slidably adjustable for rotational movement within the second housing for providing varying cross-sectional dimensions for the fluid flow through the pump. A rotor is disposed in the housing coaxial with the first and second housing. A plurality of vane members are provided on the rotor which respectively engage the walls of the first chamber and the insert member within the pump.

Harmonic vibrations in a signature machine due to the inertial influence of a reciprocating mass comprising grippers and associated parts are reduced by using a planetary gear drive and a weight secured thereto; momentum of the gripper mass is countered by another rotating weight. The planetary gear drive may be either epicyclic or hypocyclic, depending principally upon the length of the reciprocal stroke.
