A polyester film, which is substantially non-oriented and whose main component is polyethylene terephthalate, is formed as a some shape, for example, a package, at a condition causing no yield point. The formation ability of the polyester film for forming is improved, and a formed body having a good uniformity in thickness can be obtained. Further, the range of the temperature condition causing no...

A flowable material from which plaster, coverings, cladding or shaped articles can be obtained, comprises a mixture of: a finely-particulate base material from clay tiles fired at below 1000.degree.C; a hydraulic binder; and a particulate inorganic insulating foam material. These components may be mixed by the manufacture or by the user, on site, and formulated into a slurry.

A unique steer/drive control system is featured for steering a material handling vehicle by the use of directly coupled traction and steering motors. The steering motor is fabricated as a hollow shaft dc motor, whose inner ring represents the rotor, and whose outer ring represents the stator. The stator is connected to a frame of the vehicle carrying the steering and drive wheel. The rotor is inte...

A retractable covering devices, in particular, light control window covering (30) including a lobed head rail (10) to prevent creasing and/or skewing of the window covering when rolled up, the head rail (10) having means (20,25) for attaching the window covering which ensures proper alignment of the window covering (30).
