An arrangement that may be used in combination with selected tools having a tooth cutting surface for the care and maintenance such as removing a selected portion of the exposed surface of equine teeth. The selected tool in communication with a source of powered motion and mounted in and supported by a hand piece which is guided into the mouth of the horse. The cutting surface of the powered tool is partially guarded so as to protect fleshy portions of the horse's mouth from being engaged by the cutting surface. The hand piece provides for quick on and off attachment of a selected cutting surface for maintenance of a preselected portion of teeth within the same hand piece or another hand piece sized to ease access to the next selected portion of the horse's mouth. The selected hand piece arrangement may further incorporate a vacuum channel whereby the tooth dust and debris created by the powered cutting surface removing a portion of tooth is sucked out of the mouth of the horse. The motion of the tooth surface removal tool may be changed from rotary to powered reciprocating motion for a selected portion of the teeth or changed to be at a preselected angle. Attaching the powered drive to the rotary cutting surface by means of an adjustable clutch further enhances protection from injury to the inside of the mouth of the horse.

A transverse folding apparatus for folding cut web products into web wipes, napkins, and the like includes a tucker blade which follows a hypocycloidal path for folding the web products. A cutoff roll and an anvil roll cut a web into cut web products. The cut web products are conveyed along a first web path by first and second belts. The second belt also extends along a second web path which extends transversely from the first web path. The first belt extends along the first web path beyond the second web path. The tucker blade moves transversely past the first belt into the first web path to engage each web product and transversely fold the web product into the second web path. A creasing roll along the second web path engages the folded edge of each web product. A pair of stacker infeed belts extend along the second web path and convey the web produts from the second belt to a stacker.

A stack of interfolded sheets is formed from a plurality of groups of interfolded sheets. Adjacent groups are secured or bonded together so that the bottom sheet of each group pulls the top sheet of the next group. In one embodiment of the invention, the strength of the bond is such that when the bottom sheet of a group is withdrawn through an opening in a package for the stack, the bond releases the top sheet of the next group after the top sheet is partially withdrawn through the opening. In another embodiment of the invention, the strength of the bond is such that the top sheet remains secured to the bottom sheet and is completely withdrawn through the opening. The sheets can be secured by an adhesive bond or by a non-adhesive bond.

Stack formed from connected groups of interfolded sheets

Attachment for a binding (1) having straps and fitting a user's boot, the binding attached to a snow gliding or wake boarding device. Upon detachment of one end of each strap of the binding, the ends are attached to a spanning bar (11). A closing lever (10) is mounted to the spanning bar (12,14) to provide a preselected mechanical advantage. A front clip (30) having a niche rod (32) is mounted near the toe end of the binding (33), and a rear clip (20) having a latch (26) is mounted near the heel end. The closing lever is engaged with the niche rod (32) and then with the latch (26), moving the spanning bar downward and tightening the straps around the boot. The first insertion of the boot requires adjustment of the strap tension; subsequent insertions do not require further adjustment. The closing lever (10) is releasable from the latch, loosening the straps for boot removal. The latch may be fitted with a cable release and a safety lock (28) to prevent disengagement of the closing lever from the latch.

A method and apparatus of coreless rewinding of retail-sized logs wherein the logs are developed alternately side-by-side on small diameter elongated mandrels.

A method and apparatus for transversely sealing multi-ply diaper webs including an ultrasonic horn assembly above the web and an anvil assembly below the web, and including orbiting the two assemblies with points of orbit intersection at two spaced apart points on the web and with one of the assemblies being resiliently mounted so as to yield when the two assemblies come in contact during sealing.

Apparatus and method for ultrasonic sealing disposable diapers

Apparatus for producing disposable diaper type products such as diapers per se and training pants in which leg elastic strands are captured between a pair of webs which are thereafter united with a fluff pad-equipped web and wherein guide members are employed for traversing the elastic strands to abut leg openings in the diaper type product.

A cutting apparatus for fiberglass insulation and the like for use at home or on construction sites. The apparatus includes a workboard with a groove thereacross and a blade which may be moved through the groove to cut fiberglass insulation placed on the workboard. An elongated handle attached to the blade allows insulation to be cut from a standing position. Fiberglass leavings are collected in a chamber associated with the groove so as to not impede the cutting operations. Collection of the leavings and cutting from a standing position reduce the respiratory hazard associated with airborne fiberglass fibers. The apparatus permits individual pieces of fiberglass insulation to be cut to size in a non-factory setting quickly and without waste of material.

Apparatus for job-site cutting of insulation

A method of forming and bonding fluff pads for diapers and the like wherein both the steps of forming and bonding are performed on the same vacuum drum.

Method of forming and bonding fluff pads

A method and apparatus for operating a diaper-producing machine where a series of unfolded diapers are advanced along a path containing a plurality of stackers each having a folding blade, the apparatus having means for periodically altering the movement of one blade to permit diaper movement past that stacker to a subsequent one, thereby continuing stacking while a previously completed stack is removed.

Method of operating a diaper producing machine and apparatus

A method and apparatus for transversely folding diapers which includes advancing a series of unfolded diapers along a horizontal path, orbiting a tucker blade for each diaper through said horizontal path to fold the diaper and deliver the now-folded diaper to a vertical path, and displacing the orbit of the tucker blade upwardly out of the horizontal path whenever a defective diaper appears in the series.
