International Classification:

B05C 502

US Classification:

118302

Abstract:

An improvement is provided in a coating system including a dispenser, a coating outlet for delivering a coating material to a surface of a moving workpiece to which coating is to be applied in a desired pattern, and a dispensing control for producing control signals in a predetermined fashion for initiating and terminating the release of coating material to the outlet. The improvement includes a wiping member selectively advanceable and retractable relative to the coating outlet for wiping excess coating material therefrom and a cleaning control responsive to predetermined control signals from the dispensing control for advancing and retracting the wiping member in a predetermined fashion.

Abstract:

A ball rebounding device for practicing kicking of a soccer ball. The inventive device includes a rebound panel for receiving an impact from a ball and directing the ball therefrom relative to an angle of incidence of the ball against the rebound panel. An anchor assembly is mounted behind the rebound panel for precluding motion of the rebound panel relative to a ground surface. Lateral guide panels can be coupled to opposed sides of the rebound panel to guide the ball in a desired direction.

US Classification:

Abstract:

A waterproof article for use in, for example, protective clothing. The article prevents liquid water from penetrating through to undergarments while at the same time permitting moisture vapor such as perspiration to pass out through the article. The article is thus both breathable and waterproof. The article is layered: a microporous hydrophobic outer layer which permits the passage of moisture vapor but resists penetration by liquid water at pressures up to about 345 Kn/m. sup. 2 ; a hyrophilic inner layer permitting the transfer of moisture vapor but preventing surface tension lowering agents such as those contained in perspiration and/or body oils from reaching the hydrophobic layer.
