A cargo vessel has two pontoons 1 arranged on the sides of the vessel, with members for propelling and guiding the vessel. The pontoons 1 support a framework 3 which can be moved vertically in relation to the pontoons 1. The framework 3 supports a float element 8 which can be submerged to varying degrees in the water, as a result of displacement of the framework relative to the pontoons 1, in orde...

The construction component is three-dimensional, self-locking, and permits formation of straight, angled, arc-form or vaulted structures without adhesive or binder. It has opposed cones in peripheral positions, comprising alternating convex whole and concave half cones which impart a significant sinus curve to each side. - Where several such structures are combined in alternating assembly (with ha...

The relevant invention concerns a device for the guiding, i.e. leading, of an object in a certain direction or position, via a pathway for the object, in such way that the device's shape can be varied as a function of the pathway's position, i.e. orientation, relative to the object. An object refers for example to a wire, pole, pipe etc.An example of an area of application is the manoeuvring of wa...

The low current conduit comprises an electrical single conductor in an insulating casing which has a hollow space with an inner diameter equal to the sum of the diameter of the single conductor and its corresponding connecting lead. This allows the latter to be inserted in the casing together with the conductor. The single conductor has an excessive length in the over-dimensioned hollow space of t...

A laboratory mill is described in which the back directly motor driven grinding disc is stationary in the axial direction. The front stationary disc can be moved towards and away from the back disc to adjust the degree of grinding. - Used for determining the moisture content, protein determination or similar labortary on plant seed. (Provisional Basic previously advised in Week 8347)(0/1)

The device for washing box-shaped objects comprises an arm on which are fitted four rotating brushes which (with their motors) are fitted on scissors for moving them sideways. The scissors are fitted on a central, rotatable shaft in the arm and are activated by a hydraulic piston and cylinder assembly and a draw spring. - The shaft is in turn activated by a piston and cylinder arrangement which ro...

The appts. uses at least one percutaneous limb electrode which comprises a pliant, insulated cable in one end of which is a stimulation electrode for limb insertion, and a rigid introductory unit whose front part forms a stiff entity with the electrode. The introductory unit comprises a metal catheter with an internal diameter greater than the external diameter of teh cable. At the rear end of the...

The pontoon bridge of reinforced concrete comprises upper and lower parts joined to each other by a seal. The two parts are produced as individual units, and have flanges on at least two opposing outer wall tops. A flange is also provided on the top of a further intermediary outer wall.

A frame part 1 for a hinge is secured to a door frame 4 by means of two anchoring screws 2. To permit adjustment of the frame part relative to the door frame, the screws 2 are designed to cooperate with through-holes in the frame part and can be acted on via screwdriver slots 2b from the outside. A locking nut 3 which bottoms in a widened part of the hole fixes the frame part in the position set b...

The unwinding machine comprises a frame on which a turntable, supporting the roll, is mounted. A central member protruding from the turntable is of smaller dia. than the internal dia. of the roll, so that as the rope or thread is unwound from the inside of the roll it comes to bear against the member and causes the turntable to rotate. - A brake mechanism hinders rotation of the turntable when the...

An adjustment arm for brake mechanisms on a vehicle involves two, preferably lagged, springs (29, 31) designed as single direction couplings in a housing (7) of which one is deployed in the direction of power of the brake release action between the housing (7) and a fixed coupling bar connector to the brake shaft (1) and operates a blocking action in this direction. The other single direction coup...
