The invention relates to a collecting container for roving tubes on spinning and twisting machines, having a pivotably mounted bottom flap. The object on which it is based is to reduce the outlay and the space requirement and to lower the proportion of manual activity. This object is achieved in that the collecting container (1) for roving tubes is movable along the machine, a spring (3) is connec...

The impingement plates used for intercepting the spherical metal or alloy particles thrown off in the production of spherical metal or alloy powders by atomising a rotating consumable ingot have a porous surface and are preferably heat-resistant and are wetted by a film of liquid, so that continuity, regeneration and the rate of evaporation of the falling film are regulated.

An automatic guided vehicle travels for a predetermined distance by detecting the distance covered, and thereafter stops when the mark located at the desired stopping point is detected by at least one sensor. Obstacles on the route, and cumulative error therefore have very little influence on the vehicle's travel, so that accurate travel control is obtained.

An improved limited slip differential unit includes a torque transmitting coupling which provides for two separate stages of driving action from a drive train to two axle shafts connected to the differential unit. A first stage of operation provides for normal differential action of the unit with no tendency to limit such action or to lock the two axle shafts to each other in their driving relatio...

This invention relates to aqueous dispersions or latices of phosphazene rubbers which are useful in the production of coatings and foams, particularly where fire resistant materials are required, and to the resulting coatings and foams prepared using such latices.

To determine the rock-burst tendency of deposits, in particular coal seams, the mechanical properties of the minerals as well as of the country rock are determined. To this end, bores are made in the mineral, and deposited there is a measuring probe which has pressure plates which can be moved against the borehole wall. These pressure plates are acted upon by an increasing hydraulic pressure, or b...

In a flat picture screen having two panels (1, 2) of which the one projects upwards and downwards and the other to the left and right, and both are provided on their respectively projecting edge regions (connecting strips 13, 14, 15, 16) with a row of electrical connections (5, 6) on the inside, the drive part is designed as follows: a conductor film (7) which is coated on both sides and is fitted...

An installation for damping torsional vibrations in a gear drive, especially between the crankshaft and an output shaft of internal combustion engines, in which a gear wheel on the output shaft is connected with the output shaft by a friction clutch and an elastic coupling connected operatively in parallel thereto. To obtain a space-saving and operationally reliable structural unit to be assembled...

In the case of a device for the control of a gearbox in a drive system with a controllable drive engine and a clutch, the clutch can be adjusted to an intermediate position in which a clutch torque other than zero can be transmitted, which is at the same time less than the maximum clutch torque possible. When changing gear, the clutch is completely disengaged before shifting out of the old gear. F...

An accelerator control device for a drive engine (1) of a motor vehicle is proposed for adjustment of the engine speed nm to the new transmission speed when shifting gear. By means of the device the engine (1), whilst shifting gear, is brought to a target speed nz, which differs from the speed of the transmission input shaft (synchronous speed) according to the driving condition of the motor vehic...

A device is proposed for controlling the fuel metering device (12) for the drive engine (1) of a motor vehicle for adjustment of the throttle position set by an engine control (8) to the throttle position (transducer 10) selected by the driver after changing gear when re-engaging the clutch (3). The device has a driving condition detection system (7) which detects at least one of the driving param...

The invention relates to a device for the automatic or semi-automatic control of an engine and of a clutch of a motor vehicle by means of a clutch and engine control device and a device (transducer) for actuation of the engine control device and a device for actuation of the clutch control device. In order to permit a finely regulated starting of a motor vehicle, a shaft encoder determining the sp...

Apparatus for measuring inertial specific force and angular rate of a moving body by means of a plurality of accelerometers mounted on mutually perpendicular axes, each accelerometer Ax, Ay, Az, being mounted for vibratory movement along its respective axis. The apparatus further includes a drive for vibrating each accelerometer to produce output signals and a signal processor for deriving from th...

Image reproduction condition data requisite for reproducing the images of plural originals are stored in a memory. In the system, certain of the data are automatically rad and set up to implement circuits which process image data successively for all the originals. A master processor communicates with intermediate processors. The implement circuits are controlled by subrodinate processors, which i...

In a processing plant in which workpieces are conveyed to selected work stations according to a programme, the computer programme chosen for the plant operation and representing a simulated operating schedule is run through during the actual operation of the plant in synchrony with the latter. The plant comprises a number of sensors by means of which data on actual events taking place in the plant...

This invention is directed to a curable molding composition which comprises a mixture of (a) one or more fibers with a melting point or a glass transition temperature above about 130 DEG C., (b) a poly(acrylate) characterized by the following empirical formula: wherein R is the hydroxy-free residue of an organic polyhydric alcohol which contained alcoholic hydroxyl groups bonded to diffe...

An adhesive for adhering fibrous materials, particularly polyester fibrous material to rubber is disclosed, which comprises polyhydric phenol-polysulfides, resorcin excess resorcin-formaldehyde condensates, and RFL solution composed of resorcin-formaldehyde condensate and rubber latex.
