Multi-axis rotational distributing apparatus

Claim 1

Multi-axis rotational polymeric mixture distributing apparatus including a raw material supplying portion, a supporting portion, a raw material mixing portion, a polymeric mixture accepting portion and a control portion; said raw material supplying portion including a plurality of reservoirs, reservoirs being connected independently with said mixing portion through conduit means; said supporting portion including a base section with generally parallel spaced upstanding end sections, a plurality of frame members each with a large open central area being disposed between said upstanding end sections and rotatably supported thereon, each of said frame members being progressively smaller in size and disposed within said open central area of a next larger frame member, alternate frame members being rotatable about aligned axes with frame members therebetween being rotatable about axes generally perpendicular thereto, the smallest frame member including rotatable holding sections extending inwardly toward one another along an axis perpendicular to the axis of said smallest frame member; said raw material mixing portion including a mixing chamber mounted adjacent said smallest frame member, a plurality of spaced deflector sections selectively positionable within said mixing chamber along the length thereof, means for withdrawing said deflector sections from said mixing chamber and piston means selectively movable within said mixing chamber along the length thereof when said deflector sections are withdrawn therefrom; said polymeric mixture distributing portion including movable delivery means extending from said mixing chamber toward said axis of said holding sections; said polymeric mixture accepting portion including a profile member with a surface having a desired configuration positionable between said holding sections and securable therebetween; said control portion including pump means, valve means and flow monitoring means disposed along each conduit means, independent drive means disposed adjacent the axis of each frame member providing rotation thereof independently of other frame members, programmable memory means and actuating means responsive thereto controlling and activating said pump means, said valve means and said drive means.
