Boundary Air Layer Modification Structure For Heat Transfer Roll
US Patent:
4476636, Oct 16, 1984
Filed:
May 14, 1982
Appl. No.:
6/378478
Inventors:
Frank R. Gross - Akron OH
International Classification:
F26B 1308
US Classification:
34114
Abstract:
The invention relates to a simple mechanical system to effect removal, reduction or change in composition of boundary layered atmosphere associated with web passage around a heat transfer roll. In effect, the purpose of the invention is to eliminate the layer of air between the web and the heat transfer roll, or to eliminate as much air as possible so that better and more intimate contact is achieved between the web and the heat transfer roll, or to change the pressure and composition of the atmosphere, thus assuring higher efficiency of heat transfer from the roll to the web. The mechanical structure can involve a squeeze roll positioned between the heat transfer roll, squeezing the boundary layer of air attached to the web out prior to web contact to the heat transfer roll. In addition, the squeeze roll could utilize some type of vacuum associated with it. The invention further contemplates reducing the temperature of the boundary layer of air by cooling it and by utilizing stationary boundary layer removal bars and/or squeeze rolls.
Boundary Layer Control Rolls
US Patent:
5174047, Dec 29, 1992
Filed:
Apr 3, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/679734
Inventors:
Frank R. Gross - Akron OH
Assignee:
Gross Technology Corporation - Akron OH
International Classification:
F26B 1308
US Classification:
34117
Abstract:
At least one boundary control roll is disposed adjacent a moving web of paper or like material being imprinted with ink. The web of paper has opposing planar surfaces, and at least one such boundary control roll is positioned in transverse non-contacting proximity to a planar surface of said web and rotated counter to the direction of travel of the web. If multiple rolls are used, the rolls on opposing sides of the web should be coacting and counter-rotating. The boundary layer formed about the peripheral surface of each roll is adjustably positioned within the boundary layer on adhering to the moving web. By colliding the respective boundary layers, a zone of interference is created and the boundary layer of the web is significantly reduced in thickness. In this manner, the thickness of the hot solvent-laden boundary layer adhering to each side of the web is effectively reduced.
Horseshoe Display Plaque
US Patent:
D359012, Jun 6, 1995

US Classification:
D11132
Insulating Panel
US Patent:
4102099, Jul 25, 1978
Filed:
May 11, 1977
Appl. No.:
5/795739
Inventors:
Frank Robert Gross - Akron OH
Rubie Cook Gross - Akron OH
Rubie Cook Gross - Akron OH
International Classification:
E06B 712
US Classification:
52171
Abstract:
An insulating panel comprising a plurality of transparent plastic members, usually tubular and substantially rigid, positioned in parallel relation and extending over one surface of a glass sheet, and a transparent plastic cover sheet extending over at least the one surface of the glass sheet and the plastic members and secured to marginal areas of the glass sheet to form a unitary hollow insulating structure therefrom. Or two plastic cover sheets may secure tubular plastic members in the open center of an open center frame.
