5 Ways To Tell If Your Crowd Has Had A Good Time
I remember my first gig as a novice DJ. I was hired because I knew the person throwing the party, and I also charged half of what a DJ should be charged for an event that long. I won't lie and tell you that it was a success, because I can tell you for sure that I was nervous and it was pretty obvious. I wasn't as confident in my skills as I am today, and I failed to take notice to the crowd and their reactions to my music. A common mistake among all beginning DJs is forgetting that is about the crowd, rather than you – so it pays to take notice of how the crowd responds.
First off, if you seem nervous about the moves you are making at the booth, the crowd will sense this too, and likewise if you are having fun, the crowd will be having fun too. If people have completely forgotten that the DJ is there and are just enjoying themselves that this is a good sign; and having little verbal feedback from the crowd is just as good as them telling you you've done a great job. If you feel yourself nervous, step back from the booth from the second and collect yourself.

Description BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of Invention The present invention relates generally to shelters and, more particularly, to shelters including collapsible frames. 2. Description of the Related Art Over the years, a seemingly endless variety of tents and other shelters having collapsible frames have been introduced into the market. Such structures are commonly used to provide shelter during camping trips, picnics, parties, military operations and other outdoor activities. Because their frames are collapsible, relatively large shelters may be folded into a compact configuration for storage and transport. The inventors herein have discovered that there are a number of shortcomings associated with the collapsible shelters that have been introduced heretofore. More specifically, the inventors herein have discovered that the frames associated with prior collapsible shelters tend to be difficult to fold and unfold, unstable, and somewhat large when folded. Some prior shelter frames also allow the canopy to sag and form unsightly pockets where water can accumulate, reduce tent headroom and/or ultimately produce an unsightly shelter. For example, a prior open-type collapsible tent is shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. The tent consists of a frame which supports a canopy D. The frame includes four poles A, each of which is secured to a center strut C by a scissors-type linkage B. The scissors-type cross joints B are secured to the poles A by fixed hinges A1 at the top of each pole and sliding hinges A2 which slide along the poles as the frame is moved between the folded and unfolded orientations. The other ends of the cross joints B are secured to the center strut C by a fixed cross-shaped connector F and a sliding connector E which slides along the center strut as the frame is moved between the folded and unfolded orientations. The shelter frame shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 is somewhat unstable because the legs A are not directly connected to one another and, instead, are only connected to one another by the structure formed by the scissors-type cross joints B, the center strut C and the connectors E and F. In addition to being unstable, the scissors-type linkage/center strut/connector structure also reduces the headroom within the tent. This frame is also somewhat difficult to unfold in that an extra person is sometimes needed to push the center strut C upwardly to its completely extended position. With respect to the canopy D, the center strut C is the only portion of the frame that holds the canopy above the poles and, as a result, the canopy will often sag. Another example of a conventional shelter frame is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,607,656 ("the '656 patent") the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. The frame disclosed in the '656 patent is a marginal improvement over the frame illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8 in that stability is increased because adjacent support poles are connected to one another by respective pairs of scissors-type cross joints. Nevertheless, the shelter frame disclosed in the '656 patent suffers from many of the same shortcomings as the frame shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. For example, the canopy is supported by a single central support and, therefore, tends to sag. The central support post is itself supported by a pair of scissors-type cross joints which extend across the interior of the shelter. This configuration reduces headroom within the shelter. Moreover, the lowest portion of each of the scissors-type linkage pairs is half way between the poles, thereby reducing headroom in the area that often serves as the entrance to a tent. Another example of a shelter frame is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 6,035,877 ("the '877 patent") the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. The frame of the '877 patent represents an improvement over previous designs by providing a modified canopy frame design that eliminates a central support member, providing additional usable room beneath the portable shelter. Despite these improvements, shelter frame designs remain difficult to expand and contract, especially for a single user. Nearly all previous shelter frame joints use a single bolt to fasten multiple members together while attempting to allow for rotational movement relative to each other. This arrangement creates friction between members which in turn makes expansion or contraction of the joint more difficult. Consequently, portable shelter manufacturers are caught between two equally undesirable alternatives: tighten the bolts of these joints very tightly or leave the bolts relatively loose. If the joint bolts are significantly tightened, the shelter frame will be more structurally secure at the cost of considerable increased friction. On the other hand, leaving the bolts relatively loose reduces the above mentioned joint friction but increases the "play" in the joints, greatly reducing shelter frame structural integrity, increasing joint wear, and decreasing the lifespan of the shelter. What is needed is an improved shelter frame design that provides maximum usable room within the shelter, structural integrity, and minimal force to expand or contract. OBJECTS AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A general object of the present invention is to provide a collapsible shelter that is superior to those presently known in the art. In particular, one object of the present invention is to provide a shelter frame that is relatively easy to fold and unfold, stable, and still compact when folded. Another object of the present invention is to provide a shelter frame that is less likely to allow the canopy to sag, will not reduce tent headroom and will ultimately produce an attractive shelter. A further object of the present invention is to provide an easily expanded shelter frame. Yet a further object of the present invention is to provide a shelter frame that can be expanded by a single person. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, these and other objectives are accomplished by providing a shelter frame having at least two poles connected by a linking assembly having first and second scissors-type cross joints and a linking device. The scissors-type cross joints include first structural members pivotally coupled to respective second structural members, having a rolling element bearing positioned between both member. The linking device is adapted to pivotally secure a predetermined portion of the second structural member in the first scissors-type linkage to the second scissors-type linkage at a point on the second scissors-type linkage vertically spaced from the predetermined portion of the second structural member in the first scissors-type linkage and to also pivotally secure a predetermined portion of the second structural member in the second scissors-type linkage to the first scissors-type linkage at a point on the first scissors-type linkage vertically spaced from the predetermined portion of the second structural member in the second scissors-type linkage. In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, other objectives are accomplished by providing a shelter frame with a canopy support including a head connector and at least first and second canopy support rods. Each canopy support rod includes a first rod member pivotally secured to a second rod member by way of a rolling element bearing joint. The first rod members are also pivotally secured to a respective pole and the second rod members are also pivotally secured to the head connector. As a result, the canopy support provides a greater support area than many prior canopy supports, which results in an aesthetically pleasing shelter canopy that is less likely to sag. The shelter frame may also include linking rods that are pivotally secured to sliding connectors on the poles and to the canopy support rods. The linking rods help drive the canopy support to its unfolded orientation as the frame poles are pulled apart. As a result, the canopy support need not be manually pushed to its unfolded orientation. In accordance with still another aspect of the present invention, each joint of the portable shelter contains a rolling element bearing to allow joint movement with less applied force. In this respect, the shelter frame may be expanded or contracted with less effort from the user. Many other features and attendant advantages of the present invention will become apparent as the invention becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a collapsible shelter frame in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 2 a perspective view of the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 1 in a partially folded orientation; FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the portion of the preferred embodiment identified by circle A in FIG. 1; FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the portion of the preferred embodiment identified by circle B in FIG. 1; FIG. 5 is an enlarged top view of the portion of the preferred embodiment identified by circle C in FIG. 1; FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of the portion of the preferred embodiment identified by circle D in FIG. 1; FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a prior collapsible shelter frame in a folded orientation; FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the prior collapsible shelter frame of FIG. 7 in an expanded orientation; FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a roller element thrust bearing according to the present invention; FIG. 10 is a perspective view of a roller element ball thrust bearing according to the present invention; and FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a rolling element bearing according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The following is a detailed description of the best presently known mode of carrying out the invention. This description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention. The scope of the invention is defined solely by the appended claims. As shown by way of example in FIG. 1, a shelter frame 100 in accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a lower frame member 101 and a canopy support 103. The lower frame member 101 includes four upwardly extending poles 102 that are connected to one another by four pairs of scissors-type (or x-type) cross joints 105. Each of the scissor-type cross joints 105 are pivotally secured to another linkage and to one of the poles 102. The cross joints 105 are secured to the poles 102 by fixed connectors 106, which are secured to the top of each pole, and sliding connectors 104 which slide along the poles. The exemplary canopy has supporting rods 112, each of which is pivotally secured to a head 107. The canopy supporting rods 112 are also pivotally secured to respective linking rods 110 and fixed connectors 106. The linking rods 110 are pivotally secured to respective sliding connectors 109. The fixed connectors 106 act to pivotally mount two side rails 108 and a canopy support rod 112, as best seen in FIGS. 1, 2, and 5. The fixed connector bracket 118 secures to the top of pole 102 while providing three pivotal mounting areas off the pole 102. Each of the side rails are preferably mounted in the same arrangement by a securing bolt 116 passing through an aperture in the end of side rail 108, rolling element bearing 116, and fixed connector bracket 118. In this fashion, the rolling element bearing 114 is positioned between the side rail 108 and the fixed connector bracket 118, allowing each joint to pivot with reduced friction. The canopy support rod 112 is shown in FIG. 5 as being secured to pole 102 in a similar fashion to side rails 108, except for a lack of a rolling element bearing 114. Optionally, this joint may include a rolling element bearing 114 to reduce friction during movement. The poles 102 may include a locking assembly which locks the sliding connector 109 in place when it reaches the location shown in FIG. 1. Preferably, each locking assembly may consist of a button that is forced through an aperture in the pole 102 by a spring to which the button is attached. In operation, the button is depressed as the sliding connector 104 moves from the unlocked position shown in FIG. 2 to the locked position shown in FIG. 1. Such depression may be accomplished manually, or by means of a cam surface on the bottom side of the button. Once the button is depressed, the sliding connector 104 will pass over the button until a corresponding aperture on the sliding connector 104 is aligned with the button. The button will then be forced by the spring through the sliding connector 104 aperture, thereby locking the sliding connector 104 in place. The button may be depressed to release the sliding member 104 when the user desires to fold the frame 100. Turning to the canopy support 103 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, each canopy support rod 112 consists of two rod members pivotally connected to one another by an intermediate pivot connector. The intermediate pivot connector includes a pair of stop boards which prevent the rods 112 from pivoting past the unfolded orientation shown in FIG. 1. As noted above, one end of each canopy support rod 112 is secured to a fixed linkage 106 and the other end is secured to the head 107. The preferred head 107 includes four head connectors, each of which consists of a pair of parallel walls that mate with the three parallel walls on the rod member 112 ends. The connectors are secured to the rod member 112 ends by a nut and bolt. As illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2, and 6, one end of each linking rod 110 is pivotally and slidably connected to the corresponding canopy support rod 112 by a sliding connector 109. Best seen in FIG. 6, sliding connector 109 is made up of sliding member 120, rolling element bearing 114 and securing bolt 116. Within the end of linking rod 110 is an aperture of similar size to an aperture in sliding member 120. The securing bolt 116 passes through the apertures in both sliding member 120 and linking rod 110, as well as the rolling element bearing 114. In this manner, the rolling element bearing is situated between the linking rod 110 and the sliding member 120, reducing frictional movement about the sliding connector 109. Thus, as the linking rod 110 slides against the canopy support rod 112, the linking rod 110 may pivot and change angles to accommodate its change in position. Best seen in FIGS. 1 4, side rails 108 form scissor-type joints by way of two different joint types: cross joints 105 and rail end joints 113. The cross joints 105, best seen in FIG. 3, are formed by crossing side rails 108 at their centers, where apertures sized to accept securing bolt 116 are located. The joint 105 is created by aligning the side rail 108 apertures, placing a rolling element bearing 116 between the side rail 108 apertures, then securing these components together with securing bolt 116. As with previously described joints, the rolling element bearing 114 provides reduced friction movement between the side rails 108, requiring reduced force to contract or expand the cross joint 105. The rail end joints 113 function similarly to the previously described cross joints 105, but instead are located at the end of side rails 108, as best seen in FIG. 4. As with cross joints 105, the rail end joints 113 have a rolling element bearing 114 positioned between two side rail 108 ends and are held together by a securing bolt 116 that passes through apertures in the side rails 108 and rolling element bearings 114. In this manner, the rolling element bearing 114 reduces the friction between the side rails 108 as the rail end joints 133 flex. As seen in the preferred embodiment of FIGS. 2 6, rolling element bearings 114 are included within the various joints of shelter frame 100. Preferably, such rolling element bearings are at least included between the side rails 108 of the shelter frame to provide significant reduction in joint friction. Although any rolling element bearing type may be used for rolling element bearing 114, roller bearings (see FIG. 11) and thrust bearings (see FIGS. 9 and 10) are preferred. Typically, rolling element bearings with a contact angle of less than 45 degrees have a much greater radial load capacity and are classed as radial bearings, whereas bearings which have a contact angle of over 45 degrees have a greater axial load capacity and are classed as thrust bearings. When the loading characteristics of both radial and thrust bearings are combine, they are often classed as complex bearings. Most rolling element bearings consist of rings with an inner ring and an outer ring (a raceway), rolling elements, and a cage (rolling element retainer). The retainer separates the rolling elements at regular intervals and holds them in place within the inner and outer raceways, allowing them to rotate freely. The above mentioned rolling elements are generally ball-shaped or roller shaped. The rollers are found in a few typical styles, including cylindrical, tapered, needle and spherical. Other classification methods include the number of rolling rows (single, multiple, or 4 row), separable and non-separable (inner or outer ring can be detached), and thrust bearing that carry axial load in one or two directions. Balls geometrically contact the raceway surfaces of the inner and outer rings at points, while the roller's surface provides a line of contact. Generally, ball bearings exhibit a lower frictional resistance and lower face run-out in rotation than roller bearings. This makes them more suitable for use in applications which require high speed, high precision, low torque and low vibration. Roller bearings, however, have a larger load applications requiring long life and endurance for heavy loads and shock loads. A cut-away view of a typical roller bearing can be seen in FIG. 11. Thrust bearings are designed for pure thrust loads, and can handle little or no radial load. The rolling elements in a thrust bearing can be a ball, needle or roller, depending on its use. FIG. 9 illustrates an exemplary roller thrust bearing while FIG. 10 illustrates an exemplary ball thrust bearing. Since the joints of shelter frame 100 will typically encounter some axial loading during use, it is preferable that the rolling element bearings 114 support at least some axial load. In this respect, roller bearings and thrust bearings provide the most benefit in regards to their above mentioned characteristics. However, it should be understood that other rolling element bearings may be used with the present invention to provide improved functionality over the prior art, so long as the rolling element bearing is capable of rotating and of supporting the loads associated with the joints of shelter frame 100. In addition to the benefits of friction reduction, these rolling element bearings act to reinforce the bolt holes in the cross bars, increasing the overall strength of the shelter frame 100. Such reinforcement also serves to increase the product lifespan and overall durability of the shelter frame 100, providing superior performance when compared to prior art designs. Although the invention has been described in terms of particular embodiments and applications, one of ordinary skill in the art, in light of this teaching, can generate additional embodiments and modifications without departing from the spirit of or exceeding the scope of the claimed invention. Accordingly, it is to be understood that the drawings and descriptions herein are proffered by way of example to facilitate comprehension of the invention and should not be construed to limit the scope thereof. * * * * *

It feels fair that Matt Kalil deserves the poop award this week, right? Again, I didn't bother watching this game because I'm an awful fan apparently, OR(!) the outcome was entirely predictable. Either way, as I review the box score and see that third year left tackle, top 10 NFL pick, and double chin fan […]

I didn't actually watch this game. True story. It's Packers vs. Vikings week, and I couldn't really find much interest in it. What, do we beat the Packers to go to 5-6 on the season? I guess that would have piqued my interest a little bit, but probably not a ton. And it's not like […]

I gotta give it to Josh Robinson this week, but really, it should be Norv Turner. The Vikings defense didn't play AWFUL on Sunday. They played bad, certainly, not know the difference between getting off the field on third down and an asshole from a balloon knot. I don't even know what that means, but […]

In week 10 of the NFL season, the Minnesota Vikings had a bye week. That means, they didn't play that week. You know what I did? I woke up early, was outside by like 10:00 AM, did a bunch of yard work, cleaning out my gutters for the impending snow storm that hit, raked a […]

Have you been to the east side of downtown Minneapolis lately? If you haven't I wouldn't exactly blame you. What are you going to do down there besides kill time before a Vikings game? Visit Town Hall for an expensive in-house beer? Sure, I guess. But no one does that. The east side of downtown […]

The Minnesota Vikings have just completed their 2014 Bye week and first, the good news … We didn't lose! Also good news: As far as I know, no one has been arrested. Now, news may leak in six months that Jerick McKinnon beat his kid with a tree branch or something, I don't know, but […]

The Minnesota Vikings are doing the best they can with major changes going on around them. Despite breaking in a new coach and franchise quarterback, as well as dealing with life without Adrian Peterson, they're still 4-5 and could potentially turn their 2014 season around. With the NFC having a bit of a down year, […]

So, as you MAYBE heard on Tuesday, Adrian Peterson enters a no contest plea in his charges about child abuse, and honestly, I don't know what any of that means. I guess it means he avoids jail time, but I think it also means that "officially" his legal papers don't mention anything about child abuse, […]

This week's Mushroom Stamp of Approval winner is Captain Munnerlyn, CB for the Minnesota Vikings. But really, it goes to the entire defense. WHOA, WAIT. The entire defense? You mean the schlubs that gave up 26 points to a terrible Racists team? A team that had an injured quarterback starting, rusty, for the first time […]

Just, take a second and hear me out here. WHAT IF … And I mean, just "what if", Teddy Bridgewater only had to play the second half every game? The Minnesota Vikings went all Charles Dickens on the Washington R-Words on Sunday, telling the tale of two different halves during a full NFL game. For […]

Personally, I don't think it has quite the same ring to it as "Purple Jesus Diaries", but with Anthony Barr becoming such a defensive, young stud for the Vikings, and with Adrian Peterson preferring to only beat up young studs like his children, it would make more sense to name a Vikings blog after Anthony […]

Gargoyle: Web Interface for Router Configuration
The Gargoyle project is working on an alternative web interface for better router configuration. The project has now reached its first stable version 1.0.
Gargoyle is a router interface for devices of the Linksys WRT54G series and other small routers such as the La Fonera. The software is based on the recently released OpenWrt firmware Kamikaze and targets not only power users but speaks especially to the average user as well. It provides functions not usually found in router firmware, such as smart DynDNS support, QoS and used bandwidth monitoring.
Among the enhancements of the stable version 1.0 are improved bandwidth quotas, a new Web authentication system and new access restrictions. The version shows "significantly improved stability" and developers fixed some major bugs. The features unify Gargoyle into an attractive Web interface that is "at least as easy to configure as any existing firmware."
Downloads of the software are available at the Gargoyle website. Installation can be in one of two ways: install the Gargoyle image on the router, or install the OpenWrt Kamikaze firmware followed by the Gargoyle packages. BUt be careful: a firmware installation error can permanently disable your router. Be sure ahead of time that your device supports OpenWrt. A Gargoyle FAQ provides further background and guidance.

As for being miffed with GH – well, I hold grudges, so their crappy treatment of GV (as well as so many other actors) will not be forgotten, lol Log in to Reply EricasEvilTwin October 30, 2009 I'm over the issue of how they treated GV, what I am not over is how they treat their talent in general. Not only did they treat GV like his contributions to the show had been irrelevant, they did the same to SJB, RiH, GF and VM to name a few. He is simply part of a much larger issue.

That 90210 is less work and more money, lol Log in to Reply samrocks October 30, 2009 I'm just psyched because 90210 = beach setting, and beach setting = Greg shirtless.

Log in to Reply marilyn35 October 30, 2009 I'm thrilled for Greg and thrilled that I get to see him in all his glorious hotness in a show that will USE him. I stopped watching GH when they dropped Rick Hearst from contract status because he wasn't one of their faves. Greg Vaughan, Natalia Livingston, Sebastian Roche, ALL the Quartermaine actors, and so many more I cannot list them have been unceremoniously dumped to feature the boring mob. The faves of a dying show. It doesn't matter who they bring back, the audience has lost respect for the those who make these bonehead decisions. Done with GH forever, but I still can watch Rick, Greg and hopefully Natalia elsewhere. 90210….I put you on my DVD, along with B&B and dropped GH. Log in to Reply Cyberologist October 31, 2009 I agree GH has alienated a lot of viewers with sloppy storytelling.. I can only stomach it on clips. I can see my favs without the rest of the garbage. Log in to Reply diallo41 November 3, 2009 :bigsmile: I have to agree. the sloppy story telling and mistreatment of really good actors makes GH tough to watch. But 25 years later what can I do.

Norfolk Southern Dedicates Expanded Lancaster, Pa., Rail Yard In Honor Of Former NS Vice President And State Senator H. Craig Lewis
LANCASTER, Pa., Oct. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In a private ceremony today attended by Norfolk Southern (NYSE: NSC) CEO Wick Moorman, Lt. Governor Jim Cawley, State Senator Tommy Tomlinson, Drexel University President John Fry, and numerous government and business officials, family and friends, NS renamed its Dillerville Yard here in honor of H. Craig Lewis. After serving as state senator for the 6th District in Bucks County for five terms (1975-1994), Lewis joined NS as vice president corporate affairs in 1997, retiring from the railroad in 2009. He died unexpectedly earlier this year.
"Because of his experience and respect from both sides of the aisle in Harrisburg, Craig was a key part of our integration of Conrail's assets in Pennsylvania in the late 1990s," said Moorman. "He later led our passenger and transit policy team and managed many complex projects, including the sale of Conrail's Boonton Line to New Jersey Transit and the NS phase of the Lancaster Northwest Gateway Project. Craig brought energy, creativity, and humor to every initiative and was able to bring diverse perspectives together in a collaborative manner. Dedicating our yard in Lancaster in honor of Craig is a fitting tribute."
"As a state senator, Craig Lewis dedicated himself to community service and economic development," said Cawley. "That is why Norfolk Southern could not have selected a more appropriate project to dedicate to his memory.""Craig was a fine man who honorably served his district and constituents," said Tomlinson. "I am proud to have followed his legacy in the Senate and to have called him my friend." "Craig was a dear friend and a trusted colleague. He quickly grasped the strategic importance of the Northwest Gateway Project for the City of Lancaster, Franklin & Marshall College, and Lancaster General Health," said Fry. "He became our partner in addressing the many technical and logistical hurdles involved with making this project a reality. I am very pleased that Norfolk Southern has chosen to honor Craig for his service to their company and to this community by naming this rail facility the H. Craig Lewis Yard." The expansion of Lewis Yard began in early 2009 following several years of studies and design and will be completed next month. The yard expansion is part of the Lancaster Northwest Gateway Project, a $75 million plan to remediate and redevelop approximately 75 acres of urban brownfields to enhance economic development opportunities in the City of Lancaster by connecting the city street grid system, creating urban green spaces, and providing campus development sites for Franklin & Marshall College and Lancaster General Health on land formerly owned by Armstrong World Industries and NS. The final segment of the Gateway Project will begin in the spring of 2014 when the railroad transfers ownership of approximately 28 acres of its yard east of Dillerville Road to Franklin & Marshall and Lancaster General. This work is expected to take 12 months to complete. Norfolk Southern Corporation is one of the nation's premier transportation companies. Its Norfolk Southern Railway Company subsidiary operates approximately 20,000 route miles in 22 states and the District of Columbia, serves every major container port in the eastern United States, and provides efficient connections to other rail carriers. Norfolk Southern operates the most extensive intermodal network in the East and is a major transporter of coal, automotive, and industrial products.

Two mold halves together form a mold cavity and one of the mold halves is fitted with a plurality of ejector rods that can be reciprocated so as to push a molded article out of that half. At least some of these ejector rods are formed with throughgoing passages terminating adjacent the inner ends thereof at nozzle openings. Air and a treatment fluid, such as a demolding liquid, can be injected into the mold interior through these rods, the nozzle openings in the ends of the rods being covered during the normal molding operation.
1. A molding apparatus comprising:
a first mold half;
a second mold half forming with said first half a mold cavity and formed with a bore between said cavity and the exterior;
means operatively connected to said first mold half for moving same toward and away from said second mold half to open and close said cavity;
an elongated ejector element in said bore having an inner end displaceable into said cavity and an outer end lying outside said mold halves, said element being formed with a passage extending between said ends;
means operatively connected to said element and shiftable relative to said second mold half for displacing said element between a first position with said inner end within said cavity to eject a molded article from said cavity and a second position with said inner end generally flush with an inner surface of said cavity; and
means including a source of mold-wall treating release liquid connected to said passage at said outer end for injecting a portion of said liquid into said cavity in said first position of said element, said ejector element being formed with means for training a spray of the liquid from said
2. The apparatus defined in claim 1 wherein said element has an end face at said inner end and said passage is provided at said inner end with a laterally opening nozzle adjacent said face and recessed in said bore in said second position, said laterally opening nozzle being exposed in said
3. The apparatus defined in claim 2 wherein said element is constructed and arranged for displacement by said means for displacing through such a stroke that in said first position said end face lies flush with said inner wall and in said second position said nozzle is directed so that liquid issuing therefrom strokes the inner wall of said cavity both in
4. The apparatus defined in claim 3 wherein said element has a plurality of such nozzles opening in different directions.
The present invention relates to a molding apparatus and more particularly to the injection molding of synthetic-resin articles.
A synthetic-resin article is usually cast in a mold constituted of a pair of mold halves together forming a mold cavity. A liquid synthetic-resin mass is injection into this cavity and is hardened therein. Thereupon the two mold halves are separated and ejector or knockout rods are fitted in one of the mold halves and are advanced so as to free the molded article from the mold. Typically one of the mold halves is substantially more intricately shaped than the other so that the molded article on separation of the two mold halves can be relied on to remain in this half, which is also usually the lower mold half and which is provided with the ejector rod or rods.
Between each molding operation it is frequently the practice to spray the interior of the mold with a release agent or similar treatment fluid. This is usually carried out by the operator of the molding device who manually sprays the interior by means of a spray head carried on a hose connected to a source of fluid. This spray head is directed at the surfaces to be treated while a valve is actuated to propel the fluid with gas pressure from the end of the head.
Such an arrangement has the considerable disadvantage that it requires the operator visually to gauge just how much of the treatment fluid is applied. In addition the operator must usually place his hand between the mold halves, creating the possibility of serious injury to him.
It has also been suggested to provide automatic devices which swing in between the separated mold halves after ejection of the molded article and automatically spray a dosed quantity of treatment liquid into the mold cavity. Such arrangements are relatively complicated and quite expensive. Also they rarely supply a sufficient amount of treatment liquid to the upper mold half. Such automatic devices are necessary however when the treatment fluid includes a noxious element, as is particularly the case with polytetrafluoroethylene emulsions, lacquers, posttreatment agents, and pretreatment agents.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved molding apparatus.
Another object is the provision of an improved apparatus for applying a fluid treatment agent to the interior of a mold cavity.
Yet another object is the provision of such a system which is relatively inexpensive and which automatically applied an even coating to the entire interior of the mold cavity, i.e. to both the upper and lower mold halves.
These objects are attained according to the present invention in an apparatus wherein the ejector element is formed with a longitudinally throughgoing passage extending between its inner and outer ends. A source of treatment fluid is connected at the outer end of the passage so that a portion of the treatment fluid can be injected into the cavity in the position of the element wherein its inner end penetrates within the mold cavity. Thus after molding and ejection of a molded article and before withdrawal of the ejector element to a position with its end face flush with the inner wall of the mold cavity, the treatment liquid is sprayed into the mold cavity so as evenly and automatically to coat all its interior surfaces.
According to another feature of this invention the ejector element has an end face and is formed with a nozzle which is connected with the passage and which lies adjacent (i.e. flush with) the end face so that this nozzle is recessed in the mold half during the molding operation. This prevents any of the synthetic-resin mass of which the article is formed from entering into this nozzle and blocking it. A plurality of such laterally open nozzles may be provided in order evenly to coat the entire interior of the mold cavity. It is also possible according to the present invention to form each of these ejector elements with a sintered metal head or a sintered-metal portion through which the fluid is ejected.
Thus in accordance with the present invention it is possible to replace one or all of the ejector rods of a conventional molding apparatus with ejector rods having nozzles and throughgoing passages according to the present invention. Then these ejector rods are used to coat the interior of the mold, being automatically controlled so as to emit a spray after the molded article has been removed from the mold and before the injection mold refills the mold cavity with a mass of synthetic resin. A particular advantage of the invention is that the treatment fluid is applied at those areas most likely to benefit from the coating, as the knockout or ejector rods are traditionally provided at the deepest parts of the lower mold half.
Furthermore the device according to the present invention, by using the ejector rod or rods also as a spraying device, not only simplifies the molding apparatus but also achieves better results. This is due in part to the fact that the extended or advanced ejector rods are themselves coated with the treatment fluid, usually a release agent such as a polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion. The injection of the usually cool or room-temperature treatment fluid through the ejector rod or pins helps in the cooling of the mold which must be at a temperature low enough to insure proper hardening of the synthetic-resin mass. This increased cooling capacity allows faster cycling of the press and produces better molded articles.
It also lies in the scope of the present invention to blow water or hot air into the mold cavity through the ejector rods. This is done simultaneously as the ejector rods are pushed into the mold cavity to push out a molded workpiece so as to eliminate the possibility that a low-pressure zone created under the workpiece holds it in the mold half. This type of ejection eliminates the formation of so-called white spots on the finished molded article. It is also within the scope of the invention to spray the treatment agent into the mold cavity before the workpiece or molded article is entirely pushed therefrom.
The above and other objects, features, and advantages of the invention will become more readily apparent from the following description reference being made to the accompanying drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is vertically sectional and partly schematic view of an apparatus according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a large-scale partly broken away view illustrating the end of an ejector rod according to this invention;
FIG. 3 is a view similar to that of FIG. 1 illustrating the apparatus in another position;
FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 2 illustrating another ejector rod according to this invention; and
FIGS. 5-10 are small-scale sectionally schematic views illustrating the functioning of the apparatus according to the present invention.
As shown in FIGS. 1-3 the apparatus according to the present invention basically comprises a mold having a lower half 1 and an upper half 2 together forming a mold cavity F. The lower half 1 is fixed and is formed with a plurality of parallel and vertical bores 17 in each of which is received a respective ejector rod 3 mounted on a vertically displaceable support plate 18. A hydraulic cylinder 11 serves to vertically reciprocate the support plate 18 and another such cylinder 9 (FIG. 5) serves to vertically reciprocate the upper mold half 2.
As also shown in FIG. 2 each rod has an end face 3' which is planar and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A of the respective rod. In addition each rod if formed with a passage 6 terminating short of the end face 3' and connected at its upper end to four angularly equispaced nozzle holes 7 opening at right angles to each other and to the axis A. These passages 6 are all connected to a manifold passage 4 in the plate 18, which passage 4 is in turn connected by a flexible hose 5 to a pump 12 and a compressor 13. Treatment fluid from a source 15 can be fed to the hose 5 by pump 12, or the blower 13 may be operated to blow air into the passages 4 and 6. A controller 14 is connected to the cylinders 9 and 11 and to the pump 12 and blower 13.
FIG. 4 shows an ejector rod 3" whose passage 6' terminates short of its end face which is formed by a disk 8 of sintered metal, here sintered copper beads. The pore size of this sintered-metal disk 8 is such that synthetic resin cannot wet and enter into it.
The molding arrangement according to the present invention functions as follows:
To start with as shown in FIG. 5 two mold halves 1 and 2 are pressed tightly together by the cylinder 9 and the cylinder 11 is actuated to withdraw the support plate 18 so that the end faces 3' of the ejector rods 3 lie flush with the inner surface of the cavity F.
Thereafter as shown in FIG. 6 an extrusion apparatus 10 connected to a runner hole 16 of the upper mold half 2 fills the cavity F with a synthetic-resin mass M.
Once this mass is hardened the cylinder 9 is operated to lift the upper half 2 as shown in FIG. 7.
Thereafter as shown in FIG. 8 the cylinder 11 is actuated to raise the plate 18 by a distance D/2, where D is the entire stroke of member 18 between its positions shown in FIGS. 5 and 9. Simultaneously the blower 13 is operated to inject air into the mold cavity F under the hardened mass M so as to free it from the lower mold half 1.
The mass M is subsequently removed from between the mold half 1 and 2 and the plate 18 is further lifted by another distance D/2 so that the ends 3' thereof project well into the mold cavity F.
Finally as shown in FIG. 10 the cylinder 9 is operated to lower the upper mold half 2 either particlly or entirely back to the lower half 1 and pump 12 is operated so as to spray the entire interior of the cavity F with a polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion. Thereafter the cylinder 11 is operated to withdraw the knockout rods 3 to the position shown in FIG. 5. The mold is then closed, if it has not already been closed, and the cycle described above is repeated.

From a humble beginning as an area sales officer for a multinational company here in 1989, Nimmagadda Prasad, a first generation entrepreneur, made his mark in the pharmaceutical sector with his Matrix Labs.
Mr. Prasad is on the boards of CARE Hospitals, Asian Institute of Gastroenterology, Sakshi Newspaper & TV and Bharati Cements. He is also on the Executive Board of the Indian School of Business.
Beginning his entrepreneurial journey with the acquisition of a sick pharmaceutical company Herren Drugs in May 2000, Mr. Prasad went on to become a billionaire within a matter of just six years. When he sold his brain child Matrix to US pharma giant Mylan in August 2006, he became richer by Rs. 570 crore. He then joined the board of Mylan by investing about Rs. 115 crore from what had made from the sale.
The Vadrevu Nizamapatnam Port and Industrial Corridor (VANPIC) project conceived in 2007 had Prasad's Matrix Exports and Ras Al Khaimah as promoters. He also invested in MAA Television among others later.
However, the VANPIC project did not take off and came under the CBI scanner as part of its probe into the illegal assets case against Kadapa MP Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy.
Born into an Army officer's family in 1961 Mr. Prasad with Masters Degrees in Science and Business Administration started his career as a management trainee in Indian Molasses Company in Delhi in 1984. He then joined French multinational Rhone Poulenc Chemicals (now Sanofi-Aventis) in 1989 as area sales officer at Hyderabad and was later elevated as the regional sales manager.
He joined Vorin Laboratories in 1993 and went on to become its Managing Director in 1995. He was appointed as CEO when Ranbaxy acquired controlling stake in Vorin Laboratories in 1999. Quitting Ranbaxy in 2000, he turned entrepreneur by taking over ailing Herren Drugs and renamed it as Matrix Labs.
Mr. Prasad then went on to acquire several Indian and foreign companies. He shared his personal wealth worth around Rs. 30 crore with his staff for their housing and children's education when in Matrix Labs.

Big BangSyllabification: Big Bang
Definition of Big Bang in English:
The rapid expansion of matter from a state of extremely high density and temperature that according to current cosmological theories marked the origin of the universe.
A fireball of radiation at extremely high temperature and density, but occupying a tiny volume, is believed to have formed around 13.7 billion years ago. This expanded and cooled, extremely fast at first, but more slowly as subatomic particles condensed into matter that later accumulated to form galaxies and stars. The galaxies are currently still retreating from one another. What was left of the original radiation continued to cool and has been detected as a uniform background of weak microwave radiation
Example sentences
- From a massive explosion, the big bang, the universe started and has been expanding ever since.
- Gamma Ray Bursts are the most violent explosions the universe has seen since the big bang, astronomers say.
- Some of the matter ejected by the big bang forms galaxies, like our very own milky way.
