TIER UP [5 records]

Record 1 2000-09-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cranes (Hoisting and Lifting)
  • Cranes (Construction Sites)
DEF

A lifting apparatus especially made to be fit at top of scaffolding.

CONT

Our model is of a Scaffolding Crane. The main objective of this project was to devise a way to elevate roughly 300 pounds of equipment from the floor to the top of the scaffolding. The maximum range the transporter must move is from the floor up to the top of the fourth tier of scaffolding or 16 feet.

Record 2 1993-12-23

Subject field(s)
  • Paper Manufacturing Processes
CONT

A number of design approaches were taken to control the sheet flutter problem, including changes in the pocket geometry and the use of air doctors to divert the more damaging air currents. However, the most widely utilized stratagem on existing machines was to switch to a single-felt configuration for the first dryer section where the sheet is most prone toward wrinkling. In the so-called serpentine felt run, the bottom felt is eliminated and the top felt follows the sheet and wraps both the top and bottom dryers. Thus, the felt supports the sheet in the draws between top and bottom dryer cylinders, but also runs between the sheet and the bottom dryer surfaces. The serpentine felt run is effective in controlling sheet flutter up to a point, but instabilities are still evident at higher speeds. Unfortunately, with this arrangement, the bottom tier of dryer cylinders becomes redundant.

  • Fabrication du papier
CONT

On a trouvé différentes façons d'éviter le flottement de la feuille, dont la modification de la géométrie de la poche et l'utilisation de docteurs à air. Mais la technique la plus couramment employée est l'utilisation d'un feutre «serpentin» dans la première partie de la sécherie où la feuille a le plus tendance à se déchirer et à se plisser. Dans le système serpentin on dispose un seul feutre autour des cylindres supérieur et inférieur de façon à soutenir la feuille dans les tirages entre les cylindres sécheurs. Dans la partie basse de la sécherie, le feutre se trouve entre la feuille et le cylindre sécheur. C'est toujours la même face du feutre qui est en contact avec la feuille.

Record 3 1993-10-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Palletization
  • Materials Handling
CONT

High level palletizers... pick up the product at a level above the height of a full pallet and form the tier pattern on a bed. The pallet is raised to the bed level, and the product is transferred... to the pallet. Then, the pallet is lowered one layer, and the next tier is formed in the same manner and placed atop the first. This process continues until the pallet reaches the prescribed height. It is then transferred out to be replaced by an empty pallet which is raised to the bed for a repetition of the process.

OBS

In the high level [palletizer], the case or product enters the palletizer at a level approximately 7 feet off the floor.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Palettisation
  • Manutention
DEF

Palettiseur automatique dont l'alimentation en caisses ou produits s'effectue à environ 2 mètres du sol.

OBS

Les palettiseurs dits "à couches" fonctionnent selon le principe d'une formation d'une couche par juxtaposition, côte à côte, de chaque rang formé, à l'aide de poussoirs placés à 90°.

  • Walls and Partitions
DEF

The tier of rough brickwork which backs up the face tier of an exterior wall for a residence or other well-built brick structure.

Domaine(s)
  • Murs et cloisons
DEF

cloison placée contre un mur, généralement pour assurer une meilleure isolation thermique ou phonique.

CONT

Les murs de ces bâtiments sont réalisés avec des matériaux (...) comme la brique et les agglomérés. (...) On monte ensuite une contre-cloison en briques légères (...) ou en carreaux de plâtre.

CONT

En général, la paroi extérieure est composée par des matériaux pleins (la plupart du temps briques pleines) (...) la paroi intérieure [en général composée de briques creuses] est celle que l'on monte en dernier.
