Automatic wax dipping system
10207908 · 2019-02-19 ·

An automatic wax dipping system is an apparatus that dips multiple bottles into wax without the manual input of a user. The apparatus includes a basin, a first receptacle, a second receptacle, a first set of heating elements, a track mechanism, and a motorized belt. The basin upholds components of the apparatus. The first receptacle houses oil and the second receptacle houses wax. The first set of heating elements heat the oil which in turn heats the wax. The track mechanism includes a plurality of rails and an at least one motorized belt. The plurality of rails upholds multiple bottles and directs the path of multiple bottles across the present invention. The at least one motorized belt forces the multiple bottles through the plurality of rails in specific lengthwise sections where the multiple bottles may require additional force.

Food Movement and Control within a Container for Food Preparation
20190021373 · 2019-01-24 ·

An apparatus and method for controlling the movement of a food product in a container is described. The apparatus can be cleanable, portable, and fully automated. It can include a main container for holding the food product and one or more other containers for holding a substance, such as liquid. The main container can be moved between the one or more other containers so that the food product is immersed in the substance (e.g., liquid) in the one or more other containers. Any of the containers can be heated to heat the food product. This movement of the main container can be used run fully automated cycles (e.g., sprouting, rinsing, soaking, cooking, cleaning, etc.) that do not require user interaction.

20190017939 · 2019-01-17 ·

A deformation verification system of a vehicle body includes a dip tank in which fluid is contained. The dip tank has a transparent window from the outside to see the inside. A moving device is configured to lower the vehicle body into the fluid, to move the vehicle body in the fluid and to raise the vehicle body. A camera is installed to detect the form of the vehicle body through the transparent window.

Activator applying device, hydraulic transfer apparatus incorporating the same activator applying device, and article with hydraulically transferred pattern manufactured with the same hydraulic transfer apparatus
10179340 · 2019-01-15 · ·

Activator applying device including a receiving pan that stores an activator for activation of a transfer film, and a spreading roller that rotates while being dipped in the activator in the receiving pan and applies the activator that has adhered to the surface thereof in a dip section of the activator applying device to the transfer pattern in a different section of the activator applying device. The activator is fed to the receiving pan in an amount greater than the amount of the activator applied to the transfer pattern, and an excessive activator is discharged through a discharge port of the receiving pan. The activator is applied to the transfer pattern with the discharge port being located on the side where the activator is drawn up from the dip section, and the discharge port being located at the position of a streak caused by uneven dispersion of the additive pigment.

Immersion treatment installation
10179342 · 2019-01-15 · ·

An immersion treatment installation, which includes at least one immersion tank in a way known per se. A conveying system brings the items to be treated up to the immersion tank, into the space inside the immersion tank, out of it and away from it. The conveying system includes at least one transporting carriage, which has a carrying platform, which is pivotable about a pivot axis and to which at least one item can be fastened with the aid of a connecting structure. This connecting structure is movable on its own to such an extent that, with increasing pivoting from the unimmersed position, the distance between the item and the pivot axis becomes increasingly greater under the influence of gravitational force.

PROCESS FOR CONTINUOUSLY GALVANIZING ELONGATED ARTICLES
20190002213 · 2019-01-03 ·

A method of continuously galvanizing elongated articles conveys a plurality of the elongated articles side by side in a group through several stages. One stage is a cleaning stage that uses cleaning media to remove contaminants. Another stage sprays flux on the elongated articles and removes excess flux therefrom. The group of elongated articles is then heated. A kettle heats a galvanizing bath comprising zinc and aluminum. The galvanizing bath is circulated into the bottom of a trough and the group of elongated articles is conveyed through the galvanizing bath in the trough. The group is then cooled.
