A fabric for supporting a fibrous web is disclosed. The fabric has a layer that includes a plurality of weft yarns and a plurality of warp yarns interwoven with the plurality of weft yarns. The warp and weft yarns define a web-facing side and an opposite machine-facing side. The warp yarns include at least one of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK). In addition, a yarn count, weave pattern, and yarn shape of the fabric are configured such that molten polymer drops are scrapable from the web-facing side leaving an upper support surface that does not blemish a fibrous web supported by the fabric.

Heat- and corrosion-resistant fabric

A woven corrugator belt having a fabric body that has a base layer fabricated from a polyester material and has at least 1 layer of the polyester that runs in both the machine direction and cross machine direction of the belt. The fabric body has a first end and a second end that are joined by use of an inline seam. A material having greater hydrolysis resistance than the polyester may be woven into side portions of the belt for improved hydrolysis resistance.

Hydrolysis resistant woven corrugator fabric

In a spiral link fabric having a plurality of helical coils connected along a coiled perimeter to form a plurality of hinges, each hinge is formed using one of a plurality of connecting rods. The result is a spiral link fabric having a plurality of open channels between each of the plurality of hinges. At least one antistatic stuffer yarn made of polyamide impregnated with carbon is place in at least one of the plurality of open channels to dissipate any electrostatic discharge.

Antistatic spiral fabric

An antistatic polymer monofilament of this invention comprises a polymer composite of a thermoplastic polymer as a matrix and carbon nanotubes as a conductive filler. A process of this invention for manufacturing an antistatic polymer monofilament comprising the steps of blending in an extruder a thermoplastic polymer and carbon nanotubes and extruding monofilaments from said blend. An industrial fabric of this invention, which is usable in nonwoven and papermaking machines, said fabric comprising monofilaments for dissipating static charges, said monofilaments including a thermoplastic polymer matrix and a filler of carbon nanotubes.

Antistatic polymer monofilament, method for making an antistatic polymer monofilament for the production of spiral fabrics and spiral fabrics formed with such monofilaments

An oil and oil filter recycle apparatus useful to consumers who change their own oil comprising the assembly of a receptacle for the oil and oil filter, a support within the receptacle to keep the oil filter from being immersed in dried oil, and a drain unit which is low profile to go under vehicle, invertible to empty its contents into the receptacle for transport to a recycle location, and mated to the receptacle to seal the receptacle and drain unit mutually against leakage while anchoring the support screen in the receptacle inward of the seal.

Oil and oil filter collection and recycle apparatus

Curbside oil filter and oil recycle apparatus comprising a bucket sized to receive an oil filter and its oil, a support within the bucket to maintain the oil filter in a draining position out of contact with its oil, and a lid closing the bucket top against oil spillage should the bucket be upset, the lid having a removable plug through which the oil filter can be passed, the residual oil in the bucket being removable to a mobile container by suction from the bucket through a conduit passing the filter support.

Curbside oil and oil filter recycle and collection apparatus and method

Oil filter elements are processed to be substantially free of oil and thus contamination by passage through a series of counterrotating nip rolls which squeeze the filter element media and carry the separated oil circularly to be doctored off opposite the nip and collected for recycle separate from the filter element media.

Apparatus for the treatment of oil filters for low contaminant recycle

Ready separation of a severed oil filter canister from its filter element is provided by cutting the canister from its base with a single bevel side cutter which does not cause the canister metal to invade or engage the filter element.

Method and apparatus for cutting oil-filter canisters

A cycling oil filter disassembly and recycle apparatus (10) comprising separate operating heads (56, 76, 106) provided for transport of filters (12) and filter components (14, 16, 18) to and from a disassembly facility where the filters (12) are cut, and for transport of disassembled components (14, 16, 18) to recycle receptacles (32, 34, 36) arranged to receive the components transported.

Oil filter disassembly and recycling apparatus

A continuously cycling oil filter disassembly and recycle apparatus and method comprising tandem transport of filters and filter components in a given spaced relation to and from a disassembling facility where the filters are cut while rotatably retained by selectively depressible pins, and the disassembled components shifted to recycle receptacles arranged to receive the components spaced as removed from the disassembling facility

A vehicle theft deterrent diverts engine fuel into a controlled bypass which is openable only by an authorized user of the vehicle code-signaling a controller to actuate a solenoid operated plug to open the bypass for flow of fuel to the engine.

Vehicle theft deterrent apparatus and method

Synthetic mineral compositions, methods and articles are provided in which both high polishability and flame retardancy are achieved, by encasing a particulate flame retardant such as alumina trihydrate with a resin having like polishing characteristics to the synthetic organic polymers of the synthetic mineral.

Polishable, flame retarded, synthetic mineral product and method

Polishable, flame retarded, synthetic mineral product

Cultured onyx, cultured marble, and like mineral-appearing products are provided, as well as intermediates and components and methods therefor through the combination of a locally discontinuous phase comprising a synthetic organic resin portion hardened to a predetermined hardness and a visually distinguishable continuous phase comprising a synthetic organic resin portion separately hardened to the predetermined hardness with the discontinuous phase intimately distributed therein, to form shaped structures having surfaces simulative of onyx, marble, or like naturally occurring mineral in appearance, which surfaces are uniformly polishable in phase undifferentiated relation.
