A method of making coreless hollow filament bundles comprises winding a hollow filament 20 around a drum 22 having a number of axially extending vanes 24. The winding is formed in layers, each layer being a helix and adjacent layers being wound in opposite directions axially of the drum so that all the turns of the helix forming one layer cross all the turns of the helices forming the adjacent lay...

PURPOSE:When auxiliary transmission is shifted to low speed range, a member to terminate differential function of differential mechanism is connected with manual operation system of the auxiliary transmission, to prevent from loss of traction force of front and rear wheels on slippery region.

PURPOSE:To ensure and facilitate the packing of fine particles excellent in stability and tight preservability through a considerably simple process by filling bags with the particles deaired by compression, while making thereof by means of an intermediate member. CONSTITUTION:A film 1 is delivered in sequence while being folded on the center thereof. A square tube-shaped intermediate member 3 is ...

A sytem and apparatus therefor which stores and processes flexible strip materials and particularly tire manufacturing components such as the tread portion. A portable storage unit has a pair of hollow, cylindrical-shaped spools loosely supported on a pair of cradles within a frame. A pair of annular flanges adjacent the ends of each of the spool surfaces engages stop plates on the frame to retain...

PURPOSE:To make a battery thinner, by covering a group of electrodes with a synthetic resin body of a film or sheet form, and furnishing synthetic resin valves laminated plurally on the surface to contact with the main surface of the electrode plates, not overlapping each other. CONSTITUTION:A group of electrodes consisting of positive electrodes, negative electrodes, and separators, is covered an...

An ultrasonic medical diagnostic imaging system is disclosed having an articulated mounting structure for supporting a television image display monitor component. The structure includes a first arm mounted for pivotal movement about a first substantially vertical axis. A second arm is pivotally connected to the first arm for movement about a second movable vertical axis displaced from the first ax...

A surgical fastener is made from a blend of a lactide/glycolide copolymer and poly(p-dioxanone).

The invention relates to an alpine-ski and cross-country-ski binding having a sole plate which can be mounted on the ski such that it can pivot, against the force of a release spring, about a vertical pin which is perpendicular to the surface of the ski, having a front retaining device for the ski boot, having a releasing heel retainer and having an intermediate support which bears the front retai...

A safety ski binding includes a base member having a sole holder pivotally supported thereon, and a locking mechanism biased by a locking spring can releasably hold the sole holder in a downhill skiing position. The locking mechanism includes a control surface provided on the rear portion of the sole holder and a locking lever biased by the locking spring into engagement with the control surface. ...

A heel holder includes a base plate, a bearing block supported on the base plate, a binding housing pivotally supported on the bearing block, a control lever pivotally supported on the bearing block and engaging a control element on the binding housing, a release spring which biases the control lever, and a two-arm release lever which is pivotally supported on the control lever and has on a load a...

A safety ski binding having a plate which is rotatably supported for movement about a ski fixed vertical axle. The plate has a front and a rear clamping device for a ski shoe thereon. The rear clamping device, namely, a releasing heel holder, is provided with a pair of sole down-holding members. At least one of the two, preferably both, sole down-holding members are pivotally supported for movemen...

Iron powder of high compressibility and low bulk density is made by atomizing a stream of molten steel by means of a conical jet of water at a rate in excess of 10 cubic meters water per metric ton of steel, the half cone angle is between 40 DEG and 60 DEG , preferably 45 DEG ; and air suction is provided in a region upstream from the cone, adjacent to the stream at a pressure of 0.02 to 0.20 bar...

Masterbatches useful for lightweight polyamide molding or extrusion comprise polyamide, a pore-forming agent and a fusible binder that is compatible with the polyamide. Admixture of the masterbatch and granular polyamide polymer results in a polyamide composition which can be molded or extruded into a product having increased homogeneity and expansion uniformity.

PURPOSE:To reduce the weight of an obtained energy absorbing material and at the same time to improve its energy absorption performance, impact resistance and dimensional accuracy, by performing in-mold molding of pre-expanded particles prepared by using a specified resin as a base resin. CONSTITUTION:Pre-expanded particles prepared by using, as a base resin, a resin obtained by allowing a high-de...
