A bead bundle positioning mechanism is provided to accurately locate one axial surface of each bead bundle prior to radial expansion of the tire carcass. Each bundle (62) is held by a plurality of circumferentially spaced clamping mechanisms (10) each of which has a pair of clamping elements (40,48) respectively engaging the axially inner (68) and axially outer (72) surfaces of the bead bundle (62...

Method of winding conical cross-wound coils at constant thread feed velocity wherein compensation is provided by a storage device for the varying winding speeds from the larger to the smaller diameters of the coils which includes setting a thread storage device in zero position thereof, wherein no thread is being stored, after alternative occurrence of a coil change and a thread break; initially h...

The invention relates to a holder for regrindable counter-blades of cutting or crushing comminution machines by means of a clamping wedge, and brings about a rapid blade change without having to actuate screw connections. This is achieved according to the invention in that the clamping angle of the clamping wedge which tapers towards the comminution rotor and the angle of inclination of the slanti...

A shift control of an automatic transmission including a first transmission section and a second transmission section, which are capable of shifting automatically and independently of each other, and the first transmission section and the second transmission section are simultaneously or alternately shifted, to achieve multi-gear shifts, in which when shifting is to be achieved by shifting the fir...

A system for feeding production and/or packing material onto manufacturing lines, which system has compartment for storing the material; guide tapes for mobile trucks traveling between a storage area and manufacturing lines. The guide tapes define routes selectively traveled along, in use, by the mobile trucks for transporting and feeding the material to the manufacturing lines. A computer control...

Bowling pins are conveyed consecutively in an essentially horizontal plane along a common path alongside of which are loading bins, one each for the reception of a pin in a spotting position, the pins being conveyed along the path for transfer into the first available empty bin, the conveyors being preferably rubber ropes or belts with deflectors which are electrically controllably operated to def...

A preferably sealed lead-acid battery having a microfine glass separator pasting paper integrated with its adjoining plate, and the associated method by which the separator pasting paper is applied directly to the freshly pasted plate.

A method of forming a hydrophlic coating on a substrate comprised of applying a hydrophilic copolymer capable of chemically reacting with a coupling agent which will promote adhesion to the substrate. A polyisocyanate coupling agent is applied to the surface from a solvent solution followed by applying the hydrophilic copolymer from solvent solution. In certain instances, the copolymer and isocyan...

A pipelined digital processor includes control circuits which during a first processor cycle decode a single conditional instruction for controlling performance of a specific condition test during the next (second) processor cycle and decode another instruction word during the second processor cycle for controlling all processing section operations during the subsequent (third) processor cycle. A ...

A curable, storage-stable and solventless single component sealant for pneumatic tires having as its essential sealant functioning components a liquid low molecular weight hydroxy terminated polybutadiene diol, an antioxidant, a polymeric isocyanate, and, a polyurethane catalyst; this sealant can be blended with a sealant optimizing amount of a masterbatch.

A guidance method and system for an automotive vehicle which switches from an electronic navigational signal method to a dead reckoning method when any of the field strengths of three navigational electromagnetic wave signals drops below a predetermined lower limit or vice versa when the field strengths of the three navigational electromagnetic wave signals all exceed the lower limit. Therefore, e...

The invention relates to a front jaw with a baseplate on which two connecting rods, connected in an articulated manner at one end via a joint, are pivotably mounted on perpendicular axles, and with two sole-supporting pivot jaws which are mounted on the joint to be capable of being pivoted about perpendicular axles and are held by a release spring in the skiing position. In such a front jaw, in or...

The invention relates to a front jaw for a release-type ski binding. This jaw possesses a running plate for a ski boot and a baseplate on which two connecting rods are mounted to be able to pivot about perpendicular axes and are coupled at the other end via a running plate, and also a pivotable sole support apparatus with at least one sole support pivot jaw, the axes, assigned to the baseplate, of...
