A radial tire carcass fabricated by a first stage process has bead portions which are placed over a pair of spaced-apart coaxial bead seats. The bead seats may be segmented radially expandable rings which are expanded by fluid pressure into engagement with the bead portions. The tire carcass is initially positioned on the drum with the bead seats at a spaced-apart distance so that upon expansion o...

PURPOSE:To make release of locking easily and rapidly by applying shake in the vicinity of a lock in the range of the second and the third setting time when the object position is not reached within the first setting time. CONSTITUTION:In the operation of change gear actuators 6, 7, for instance, shift in, shift out, select, when shift, select etc. can not be made within the first setting time A, ...

PURPOSE:To reduce shocks when a clutch is at its coupling in such a way that a shift-down detector and a sudden acceleration detector, and after shift-down, when sudden acceleration is applied. CONSTITUTION:While an accelerator pedal is stepped on, when shift-down is applied, signals (a) from a shift-down detector 45 are given as input together with signals (b) from an accelerator switch 42 which ...

A machine sequentially manufacturing a plurality of reinforced substrates such as shoe uppers, comprising a powder deposition station (30) wherein a stencil assembly (42) [Fig. 6] applies powder onto an annular receiving belt (22), the powder being applied in a three- dimensional configuration because of a peripheral spacing element arranged on the cut- out between the stencil (42) and the receivi...

During the measurement of the length of filamentary materials, for instance a yarn, which is wound into a cross-wound package which is driven by a grooved drum, appreciable errors arise because there is not taken into account slippage. Therefore, with the present method during the winding operation the slip, which is governed by the relationship of the circumferential velocities of the grooved dru...

A spun yarn splicing method wherein ends of both yarns untwisted and positioned in overlapping relationship within a yarn splicing hole are acted upon by a compressed fluid to effect an intended splicing of yarns. Prior to the untwisting operation of the yarn ends, the yarn ends are held and cut, and grasping of the yarn ends are released after the yarns are relaxed and the tension of the yarn is ...

A hands free portable hair dryer holder is provided and is designed to hold a portable hair dryer while in use, allowing a person to use their two free hands on the hair. A mechanism can be built within the holder which will automatically swing the hair dryer up and down while in use so as to prevent excessive heat at one spot on the hair.

The present invention provides an apparatus for producing in a single stroke a forged metal article with a helical contoured surface. The apparatus uses an upper punch with a generally smooth surface which is telescopically received in a punch housing and a lower punch of generally smooth surface which is mounted for free rotation with respect to the axis of the die assembly. This design allows fo...

An electrosurgical generator for use with a living being. The electrosurgical generator is provided with a circuit for determining real power output being delivered to a handpiece. A switching mechanism is also provided to allow alternate selection of the desired power to the desired output port.
