PURPOSE:To enable responsive power transmission without slippage, improve the durability of a V-belt, and remove the sense of incompatibility at the time of speed change on restarting by driving a speed change motor in line with the change gear ratio of a pulley, when braking is removed or a throttle is opened after quick application of braking. CONSTITUTION:After quick application of braking is d...

PURPOSE:To carry out rapid speed change at the time of quick application of braking while enable responsive power transmission without slipping at the time of restarting, improve the durability of a V-belt, and remove the sense of incompatibility at the time of speed change by operating a speed change motor at the same time as the quick application of braking. CONSTITUTION:The position of a movabl...

There is provided a process for inspecting a splicer provided for splicing yarn ends upon the occurrence of yarn breakage or the like in an automatic winder, the process comprising the steps of, after splicing yarn ends, taking up the spliced yarn at a low speed and restraining the yarn on the yarn supply side to impart a predetermined tension to the yarn, detecting whether yarn breakage indicativ...

Sheets gripped at 7 by their front edges are transported under deceleration until their release above stack 4, with gripper carriages 6 being guided, at least over a partial section 9a of the sheet-transport path 9, independently of endlessly revolving conveying chains 5. The gripper carriages 6 are, over the partial section 9a, released from the conveying chains 5, are transported at a reduced ra...

An oil pump driving device (5) drives an oil pump (70) combined with a transmission (1) coupled to an engine (E) for supplying working oil to lubricate the transmission (1) and enable the transmission to make gear shifts. The transmission includes a first power transmitting mechanism (50) for connecting the output shaft (81) of an electric motor (80) to a drive shaft (71a) of the oil pump (70), an...

A method of improving wear-resistance characteristics of a porous metal machine part by densifying the part throughout its thickness. The method includes the steps of ultrasonically cleaning the part to remove impurities from the pores of the part and then drying the part. The part is then exposed to cryogenic temperatures generated by a cryogenic liquid during a period of time. The period of time...

Cooking appliance with a plate made of a heat-transmitting material, such as glass ceramic, with controllable heat sources which are arranged distributed under, in or on top of the plate and can be heated by means of direct or indirect heat transfer, electrically and/or by gas, and/or by other heat-supplying media, the plate having at least two kinds of heat sources which use different types of he...

The apparatus comprises a frame (1, 3, 5) which supports at least an X-ray source (7) and an X-ray detector (9) and is attached to a base (13) which is provided with wheels (19, 21) enabling displacement of the apparatus on an approximately horizontal floor surface. In order to prevent cables lying on the floor from colliding with the wheels (19, 21) during displacement, so that the wheels could b...

A variable sheet sized sheet feeder adapted to be reloaded while running in a dual tray mode. A dual tray sheet feeder having a sheet transport (121) to reload a stack of sheets from a holding station (104) to an active feed station (102) is provided.
