The apparatus 10 includes a pair of stacking stations 18, 20 arranged in a side-by-side manner, a transfer device 22 for dropping negative plates 12 at an assembling point 24, an...

A method and apparatus for applying paste to battery grids wherein the paste is circulated in a primary circuit incorporating an open reservoir wherein the paste is relieved of all pumping pressure and portion of the paste is diverted from the primary circuit into a secondary circuit for delivery to a nozzle which may be selectively opened and closed to deliver paste to the grid, the secondary cir...

PURPOSE:To prevent stacking of a programmable device, by performing the reset operation or the nonmaskable interrupt operation by a microprocessor when a program runs away. CONSTITUTION:When the program processing is executed normally, a timer reset pulse 30 is issued from a decoder 3 at intervals of a prescribed time T2 shorter than a prescribed time T1 of a hardware timer 4, and the timer 4 is r...

A pneumatic tire whose inner wall is provided beneath the crown with a lining which extends at least from one shoulder to the other of the tread and comprises a layer of a sealing mixture capable of flowing into a puncture hole, the layer being covered radially inward by a vulcanized elastomeric partition, is improved due to the fact that the layer of sealing mixture has a base of at least one ela...

In one working operation or in directly successive working operations a tube 2 is extruded having at least two layers of different materials and the wall thickness thereof is structured to be wave-shaped or undulatory, i.e. has thick portions and thin portions at intervals. The thus formed tube sections are then cut from the tube to form the individual inner liners 50. The periodic variation in wa...

A plant to extract meat from small crustacea, specially antarctic shrimps (Kril) consists of a mechanism to crush the carapaces, one for sepg. any readily floating particles, and one for sepg. the meat. A liq. is used to flush away the floats and the sinks are taken by an ejector to the meat separator. - This system has a higher productivity and a better meat yield than conventional methods.

Polyamide materials for the construction of protheses and surgical sundries are made biocompatible by inducing a superficial hydrolysis by treating such materials, either raw or in the form of shaped articles, with a normal multiple solution of hydrogen chloride. Thrice normal or fourfold normal solutions are preferred and the treatment time being a function of the temperature. At human body tempe...

A combined fluid pressure operable running and parking vehicle brake device including an application piston responsive to fluid pressure for exerting a brake-applying force on a vehicle wheel through a brake shoe for effecting either a service or emergency application, a locking piston responsive to fluid pressure independently of the application piston, for locking the brake device in an applicat...

PURPOSE:To obtain a high reliable hollow core reactor by a method wherein when a coil and the interval between the coils of the hollow core reactor are to be fixed, a prepreg tape is wound around the coil, molds having the wave-shaped faces are made to come in contact with the coil, and prepreg is heated to be hardened. CONSTITUTION:The prepreg tape 4 is wound around the coil conductor 2 to consti...
