Abstract
Abstract Ejecting means, in a slot die head to extrude plastic material in a strip, whereby material left in the slot die head after extrusion has ceased can be removed, comprising a piston mounted with its crown flush with the inner wall of a distributing passage in the slot die head, so that, after the slot die head has been opened by separately upper and lower parts thereof, the piston can be moved hydraulically to project into the distributing passage to lift the residual material away from the wall of the distributing passage containing the piston to facilitate grasping of the material by an operator and stripping from the slot die head.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
155 words
In an extruder to process plastic materials, a slot die head formed by co-operating upper and lower parts, said upper and lower parts being separable and having inner walls defining a distributing passage, whereby material fed under pressure to said slot die head can be distributed over the width of said distributing passage, said upper and lower parts also defining an outlet slot through which the extruded material can be discharged from said slot die head, and an ejecting piston arranged displaceably in said slot die head, said piston having a crown disposed in a normal position of said piston flush with one of said inner walls of said upper and lower parts which define said distributing passage, and means projecting said piston from said flush position with one of said inner walls into said distributing passage, whereby the material is lifted off the surface of said distributing passage to enhance removal of the material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
155 words
In an extruder to process plastic materials, a slot die head formed by co-operating upper and lower parts, said upper and lower parts being separable and having inner walls defining a distributing passage, whereby material fed under pressure to said slot die head can be distributed over the width of said distributing passage, said upper and lower parts also defining an outlet slot through which the extruded material can be discharged from said slot die head, and an ejecting piston arranged displaceably in said slot die head, said piston having a crown disposed in a normal position of said piston flush with one of said inner walls of said upper and lower parts which define said distributing passage, and means projecting said piston from said flush position with one of said inner walls into said distributing passage, whereby the material is lifted off the surface of said distributing passage to enhance removal of the material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
The invention claimed in claim 1, wherein said ejecting piston is positioned at the end of said slot die head opposite to an end thereof at which said outlet slot is provided and is inclined relative to the direction of extrusion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The invention claimed in claim 1, wherein a plurality of ejecting pistons are provided in said slot die head.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
43 words
The invention according to claim 1, wherein said means for projecting said piston comprises hydraulic means including a second piston operatively connected to said ejecting piston, said second piston being subjected to hydraulic pressure for moving said ejecting piston into said distributing passage.
