SPIRAL ADVANCE/RETREAT ACTUATION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18439880 titled 'SPIRAL ADVANCE/RETREAT ACTUATION DEVICE
The spiral advance/retreat actuation device described in the patent application includes a first strip material, a second strip material, an inner guide member, an outer cylindrical wall, and a strip material storage container.
- The strip material storage container has a first storage chamber for spirally storing a first strip material and a second storage chamber for spirally storing a second strip material.
- The inner bottom surfaces of the storage chambers are sloped to descend as they move away from the axis.
- The first and second strip materials transition from a cylindrical configuration state to a separated state within the storage chambers.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in automated packaging systems to efficiently store and dispense strip materials. - It could also be applied in manufacturing processes that require precise control over the feeding of strip materials.
Problems Solved: - Provides a compact and organized way to store and dispense strip materials. - Ensures smooth transition of strip materials from a cylindrical configuration to a separated state.
Benefits: - Increases efficiency in material handling processes. - Reduces the risk of tangling or misalignment of strip materials. - Saves space and allows for better organization of materials.
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Strip Material Storage and Dispensing System This technology could revolutionize the packaging and manufacturing industries by streamlining material handling processes and improving overall efficiency.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the sloped design of the storage chambers contribute to the efficient storage and dispensing of strip materials? 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits of implementing this spiral advance/retreat actuation device in manufacturing facilities?
Original Abstract Submitted
The spiral advance/retreat actuation device includes a first strip material, a second strip material, an inner guide member as a strip material guide unit, an outer cylindrical wall, and a strip material storage container. The strip material storage container includes a first storage chamber that spirally stores a first strip material that has transitioned from a cylindrical configuration state to a separated state, and a second storage chamber that spirally stores a second strip material that has transitioned from a cylindrical configuration state to a separated state. The inner bottom surface of the first storage chamber and the inner bottom surface of the second storage chamber are sloped so as to descend as they move away from the axis.
