Disclosed is a method of applying a multiple-layer enamelling on electrically conductive substrates by electrophoretic deposition of a first coating layer of electrophoretically depositable aqueous coating agents onto which a second coating layer of a first pigment- and/or effect-creating base enamel coating agent is applied wet-in-wet, and the first and second coating layers thus produced are the...

The breaker for crushing rocks and stone etc has a discharge conveyor device with associated magnetic belt separator. A switching element (12) is mounted in the conveyor direction (X) in front of the separator (7) or at its inlet edge. This is so that the discharge conveyor device is switched off when the material layer in front of the magnetic separator exceeds the designated spacing between the ...

A reel (1) of yarn has a device for braking the thread drawn from the reel. The device comprises, within a housing (60), a rotating bobbin (70) which is wound round by the thread (10) and undergoes a braking action. Pref. the braking action is stepless and magnetic, i.e. the bobbin has in its spindle (72) a first magnet (94) while in the housing there is a second magnet which can be displaced alon...

An open-cell foam of a cross-linked polyolefin possessing uniform physical properties, a high degree of expansion, and a high open-cell ratio can be produced with high operational efficiency and high material utilization by a method which comprises thermally shaping under pressure a foamable and cross-linkable polyolefin composition capable of being heated with a microwave, then heating the compos...

In order to improve the adhesion of a coating to a surface consisting of a synthetic organic polymer, the surface is subjected to a plasma treatment in a reactive gas atmosphere. The duration of the treatment (T) and/or the reactive gas pressure (p) are chosen such that the coating adhesion (FA), considered as a dependent variable, assumes at least approximately a maximum value (FAmax).

For the detachable fixing of a brake cable assembly (4) to an internal shoe brake for automotive vehicles, one end (18) of the brake cable assembly (4) and the end (17) of a bushing (2) of the brake are coupled by means of a retaining clip (10). The retaining clip (10) consists of an elastic C-section sleeve which envelopes the ends (17, 18) of the bushing (2) and of the brake cable assembly (4) a...
