23089A 21 Energy efficient process and apparatus are disclosed for forming glass fiber packages on a collet (24) which are free of migration. Air from around the fiber forming bushing (12) is passed beneath the bushing whereby it is heated by bushing heat and the heated air is then drawn into a chamber (36) through which the glass fibers (16) pass in heat transfer contact with the heated air. This...

A limited slip differential comprises a bevel gear differential having side gears and planet gears carried by a planet gear support which is capable of limited rotation relative to the carrier. When the side gears carry unequal torques the support tends to rotate and moves a pressure ring axially due to complementary cam surfaces on the support and the ring and this engages a friction clutch which...

The invention relates to a process for recovering nickel from industrial effluents, characterised in that a) the effluent loaded with nickel is allowed to settle in a corrugated-plate separator (1) for the removal of solid constituents contained therein, b) a flocculant is added and the mixture is neutralised with alkali or mineral acid, c) after flocculation, the mixture is again allowed to settl...

The stoma creator has a tapered dilator having a side wall which gently tapers ...

The present specification discloses a disc brake (1) for use on a commercial vehicle. Traditionally drum brakes have been used on the light to medium weight range of commercial vehicles, one disadvantage of conventional hydraulically actuated disc brakes (1) lying in their unsuitability for the provision for a parking/emergency brake, primarily due to the bulk of such extraneous items. The present...

A power-charging system for a transporter cart is disclosed. The system includes a power-supplying electrode (R) disposed along and at a predetermined section of a travelling passage along which the transporter cart automatically runs by power from a battery mounted thereon and a power-receiving electrode (8) attached to the transporter cart and slide-contactable with the power-supplying electrode...

A pre-assembly muff (12; 12a) for fitting a cutting or clamping ring (3) of a pipe coupling. Conventional muffs have a problem in that in service their dimensions change so that an accurate ring assembly ensuring accurate functioning is no longer possible. Only by checking the dimensions of the inner cone (13) of the pre-assembly muff is it possible to determine whether the end of the service life...

Granulation of aluminium chloride and the granulates obtained. The process consists in condensing aluminium chloride taken from a gaseous phase on a wall below 70 DEG C and then heating this wall to detach the granules.

The apparatus is provided, within the conduit (1) for the intake of air and gaseous fuel, with a restrictor member (3) supported by a pivot pin (5); the pin carries further means (7) for the adjustment of the flow section of the duct (9) for the supply of the gas to the engine, which means (7) rotate about the same axis of said restrictor member (3).

Of two edges (14, 16) to be joined together of a multilayer foil, the inner edge (16) is obliquely trimmed in the longitudinal direction prior to the pressing together in such a way that the layer (6) located remote from the surfaces (10, 12) to be pressed together protrudes beyond the other layers. If the two layers (14, 16) are pressed together during the welding operation by means of two tool e...

The upholstery aarticle comprises a filling of feathers between inne and outer casings impervious to them. A layer of synthetic fibre is situated between the casings, the outer one being typically glued to it. The inner casing can also be glued to it, and can be stitched beforehand to form different sections accommodating the feathers. There can be two layers of feathers on opposite sides of an el...
