In order to reduce the magnetic resistance, the armature (27) of an electromagnet is provided with a hole (28) into which a soft-magnetic cylinder (36) projects. In consequence, the magnetic flux can enter the armature from the outside and the inside. The cylinder (36) has a continuous hole (28) through which a plunger (40) which is arranged on the piston can project in order to operate a valve bo...

The invention relates to an electromagnetic actuator unit which has an adjusting sleeve (39) which can be displaced on the pressure tube (20). Said adjusting sleeve (39) allows the magnetic resistance in the iron circuit of the magnet to be changed. In this way, the magnetic force can be calibrated with a constant coil current.

A control system for a vehicle such as an automobile comprises a device for storing data for determining a driver's age, a group of various sensors for sensing driver's operations and a controlling system which estimates a driver's characteristic from information supplied from the sensors, and which modifies a response characteristic of any one or more of steering system, brake system and accelera...

A vehicle traction control device having a control device for controlling the torque of the drive wheels by controlling the throttle in order to match the slip rate of the drive wheels with a target slip rate in order to prevent excessive slip caused by excessive torque in the drive wheels. The traction control is provided with a device for determining whether or not the road being driven on is a ...

The warp creel on a tyre cord loom has a thread tension regulator. Cross bars which hold the tension eyes, advance in the loom direction as the reel unwinds, and is reduced in diameter. The creel is arranged on a frame (1) with a series of support pillars in rows to hold the spindles on each side for the reels (2,3,4) to be mounted. Attached to the pillars are rollers in pairs, with the space betw...

PURPOSE:To decrease air leakage by providing a seal substance of a pneumatic tire with a specified viscosity and with a crosslinked structure partly. CONSTITUTION:A pneumatic tire has a seal substance layer forming a continuous layer between two vulcanized rubber compsn. layers placed on the inner face of a carcass ply of the tire. The seal substance exhibits viscosities of 1X10<5> poises at 10 de...

The ski binding has a sole holder which can be swivelled up counter to the force of a release spring about an axle mounted in a bearing block, the latter being mounted likewise swivellably, if appropriate by means of a swivel plate, about a vertical axis, which is fixed to the base plate, and is loaded by a return spring. Furthermore, a blocking member is provided on a spring-loaded blocking lever...

The safety binding is esp for downhill skiing. It comprises a slide board with a lower part mounted on it and a detachable upper part attached to the boot. The upper and lower parts (2,4) can be connected in force-locking and/or positive locking manner by a push-in connection, for example the upper and lower parts can each consist of at least one plate which mutually engages with the other. These ...

Thermoplastic compositions for the production of metallic mouldings, containing A) 40 - 70 % by volume of a sinterable, pulverulent metal or of a pulverulent metal alloy or a mixture thereof, B) 30 - 60 % by volume of a mixture of B1) 50 - 100 % by weight of a polyoxymethylene homopolymer or copolymer and B2) 0 - 50 % by weight of a polymer which is immiscible with B1) and can be removed thermall...

The umbrella is installed in a fixed position and is supported on a fixed vertical tube (1). This fixed tube (1) forms a guide for an inner sliding tube (3) which has a fitting (12) attached to its upper end. Arms (5) which support the umbrella fabric, are pivoted to this fitting and are extended radially when the inner tube (3) is in its lowest position. In this position, the arms (5) are suppor...

A process is described for the preparation of isocyanate-based foams. The foam is usually produced using chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as blowing agents. CFC-containing blowing agents can be replaced by alkanes, for example pentane, or water, which forms carbon dioxide. In this case, it is necessary to simultaneously use flameproofing agents. Surprisingly favourable product properties are obtained if...

The invention relates to an alarm device with a monitoring circuit. There are provided a number of setting elements for setting a secret code and a corresponding number of keys for arming or disarming the device. By means of brief actuation of the keys matching the code, it is armed and, by means of longer-lasting actuation of the keys, disarmed.

Flexible foam is prepared using 1,1,1-trichloroethane as the sole or predominant auxiliary blowing agent.
