A delivery mechanism for a sheet fed printing press in which a rear edge guide in the form of a traverse member guides the rear edges of the downwardly settling sheets into a condition of register. A brake assembly is provided for engaging the trailing edges of the sheets to decelerate them, the assembly being horizontally adjustable to accommodate sheets of different length and the traverse membe...

PURPOSE:To prevent sudden stopping of the automobile at the time of the change from the forward drive over to the backward drive by constructing the retreat prevention apparatus such that it will not be operated immediately when a speed change gear is shifted from R to N and R to first speed while the automobile is running backward. CONSTITUTION:An output shaft 2 provided with a transmission case ...

PURPOSE:To lower the costs required for construction of a wind-activated power plant which is operated at the top of the high support tower, by enabling to decrease the safety factor of strength of the plant through employment of such an arrangement that its windmill and generator unit are mounted on the support tower in a vertically movable manner. CONSTITUTION:A square support tower 15 constitut...

The invention consists of a splicer device to disassemble and recompose yarn mechanically, whereby the splicer device comprises facing disks to untwist and retwist mechanically two yarns positioned between the two disks, a cutter to eliminate excessive tail ends of yarn protruding from the two disks, a crank to set the two disks in rotation, a cam to actuate the cutter that eliminates the excessiv...

Wire-shaped thread guides are provided with a rectilinearly extending fastening leg (1) and with an adjoining helically-wound wire-winding portion (3) which forms a thread-guide eye (6) and a threading slot (7) leading to it and limited by a thread catch hook (5). In order to achieve automatic threading-in and to make the thread guide suitable either for a right-rotating or left-rotating thread-ba...

Before the start of the winding operation, the inner thread end (2) is guided via a thread-guide device (6) on the winding spindle (5) and is fixed. At the end of the winding operation, the outer thread end (3) is likewise inserted into the thread-guide device (6), and the two ends (2,3) are retained and drawn into the interior of the clew (1). At the rear end (14) of the clew (1), the inner threa...

A system for controlling an infinitely variable transmission is provided with a vehicle speed sensor for sensing vehicle speed and for producing a signal when the vehicle speed exceeds a predetermined value, a neutral range sensor of the transmission, a drive range sensor, and an accelerator pedal release sensor. The system further has an actuator for cutting off fuel. When the vehicle coasts unde...

Material is deposited onto and implanted into a substrate by directing a beam of ions against a target, comprised of the material to be deposited, so as to sputter neutral particles and ionized particles from the target towards the substrate. The ionized particles are accelerated to energies sufficient to penetrate the substrate and be implanted therein and provide a strong bond. Sputter cleaning ...
