The invention provides an apparatus for removing an animal from a shell. The apparatus has a tubular helical main portion having an inlet, an outlet and an attachment portion for coupling the apparatus to a source of high pressure fluid. The apparatus may be inserted into the shell and coupled to high pressure fluid which urges the animal from the shell.

PURPOSE:To provide a foaming inhibitor capable of inhibiting or killing the foaming of slag by blending calcium aluminate as a base with specified amounts of Al and C, in a small amount and in a short time. CONSTITUTION:This foaming inhibitor for slag contains 20-50% calcium aluminate, 10-30% Al and 10-20% C or further contains the proper amount of metallic iron powder. Al and C in the inhibitor c...

PURPOSE:To facilitate the mounting and dismounting of a fluid transmittion unit, by disposing the output shaft of the fluid transmission unit in the inside of output shaft of a V-belt type stepless speed change gear unit, and by splinedly fitting the fluid transmission unit to the end part of the output shaft. CONSTITUTION:The output shaft 310 of a fluid transmission unit 300 is disposed in the in...

An apparatus and method of setting a bead ring against the plies of a tire carcass on the shoulder of a building drum includes a carrier member with a retractable bead support flange. As the carrier member pushes the bead firmly against the carcass plies, the bead support flange is also pushed against the carcass plies, and the flange partly retracts under the pressure. Then, a fluid operated pist...

To obtain openings or outlines in ceramic substrates (1) and to avoid the known pressing operations, use is made of optical laser beam pulses (4) which are applied to said substrates. Each pulse produces a hole (O) in the substrate. Either the light beams or the substrate are moved along a line of movement (F1, F2) corresponding to the opening or outline to be executed. The perforation is advantag...

Downwardly extending members are molded on the inside of a synthetic resin battery case cover and bear against the bridging members of battery plate assemblies or upward bulges of the battery plates to hold the latter vertically in place. The downwardly extending thermoplastic members may be heat-softened at their ends at the time the cover is fused onto the rest of the battery case, or they may b...

A package and a method to produce said package are provided comprising a wound body of strand having an outer cylindrical portion; and an elastic membrane wound about the cylindrical portion of said body, the membrane being wound to a sufficient thickness and being stretched sufficiently to partially collapse when the strand is withdrawn from the body such that the membrane captures the strand of ...

An article is coated with a base coat derived from a particulate fluorocarbon polymer, mica particles or metal flake and a liquid carrier and a top coat derived from the same ingredients. The concn. of mica particles or metal flake in the top coat is 10-90% of that in the base coat. The polymer is of a monoethylenically unsatd. perfluorocarbon and/or perfluorocarbon ether monomer, which may have s...

A fuel system for an internal combustion engine includes a pump/injector having an actuating winding to which power is supplied by a first electronic means. A first control signal is supplied by a second electronic means to energize the winding and a second control signal is supplied by a third electronic means to de-energize the winding. The third electronic means calculates the time at which the...

A fuel system for supplying fuel to an engine includes a nozzle positioned to direct fuel into a combustion chamber and an electromagnetically operable pump for supplying fuel to the nozzle. A first electronic means supplies power to a winding of the pump to cause delivery of fuel and holds the pumping piston of the pump until it is required to fill the pumping chamber of the pump. A second electr...

A fuel injection pumping apparatus includes a stepped body with a nozzle head mounted at the narrower end and an electromagnetic actuating means located in the wider end. A pumping plunger is mounted in a bore in a valve mounting having a flange located against the step defined between the wider and narrower portions of the body. The mounting also carries valve element having a head which is sprin...

Procedure and device for cutting pieces of material to order, from a band of material, by using a cutting table equipped with a vacuum installation for holding the band of material in place and a workable, longitudinal and traverse slide on the cutting table, running along the desired cutting lines, which is controlled by a data processor for marking and data control, as the carrier of a cutting t...

A plant to extract meat from small crustacea, specially antarctic shrimps (Kril) consists of a mechanism to crush the carapaces, one for sepg. any readily floating particles, and one for sepg. the meat. A liq. is used to flush away the floats and the sinks are taken by an ejector to the meat separator. - This system has a higher productivity and a better meat yield than conventional methods.
