PURPOSE:To enable the reduction in the electric discharge performance of a rapid-use lead storage battery during preservation to be suppressed by holding a drying agent between the separator and the glass mat. CONSTITUTION:Silica gel powder of 100-150 mesh is interposed between a separator and a gasket. As a result, the silica gel absorbs the moisture existing in the battery thereby preventing any...

PURPOSE:To prevent a short-circuit to the positive pole strap caused by falling off of active material and/or piling up of sponge lead by a method wherein spacers, whose positive pole strap side is made to be lower than the negative pole strap side, are provided while the projections, which prevent the spacers from floating and are thinner than the thickness of the negative pole strap, are prepare...

PURPOSE:To simplify the structure of a clutch control device for an automobile and improve the responsing characteristics of the device by providing an oil chamber resisting the spring tension in a regulator valve and supplying high work pressure oil to the oil chamber when the clutch is disengaged.

PURPOSE:To improve the responding characteristics of the clutch for an automobile and durability of each part by operating a solenoid valve in cooperation with a shift lever to shut off hydraulic oil supplying a torque converter and supply high hydraulic oil to a clutch release servo.

PURPOSE:An anti-skid control system, devised to make anti-skid control in braking only by lowering and raising of the brake pressure.

Heat-insulating cellular glass having a surface on which an adhesive layer and a coating layer are formed. The adhesive layer comprises a solidified mixture of water glass, and a porous substance containing polyvalent ions of metals, such as Ca, Mg, Ba and Al, and the coating layer comprises a laminate of flakes of a laminar mineral. This cellular glass is widely used as a heat-insulating material...

A system for transporting various kinds of cops to an automatic winder which includes a number of winding units. The winding units are divided into a plurality of winding sections, whereby a kind of cops from a spinning frame are supplied to and unwound on one of the sections. A cop supplying passage and an empty bobbin returning passage are provided between the sections and the spinning frame so ...

An improved rotary centrifuge seal is disclosed of the type formed from a rotatable ring member (40) and a non-rotatable ring member (42) having a sealing face of each in contact to provide a dynamic seal between rotatable and stationary centrifuge elements. This improved seal is provided with means for entrapping solid particulate matter generated at areas of contact (44) and means for directing ...

1. Electrical lead accumulator with limited maintenance, comprising in a casing a group formed of positive and negative plates and separators, immersed in the electrolyte, a separator filling the space between a positive and a negative plate, said separator being constituted of a microporous material of unwoven fibres, characterized in that the separator is constituted by one or more layers, the u...

An apparatus for joining sheet segments, typically rubberized, to one another to form an elongated strip, wherein a strip composed of sheet segments joined together is conveyed into a joining zone between rear and front conveyance zones in such a manner that the strip has a trailing end portion slightly projecting rearwardly from the rearmost ends of guide rails extending through the joining zone ...

A safety toe clamp for a ski binding is disclosed wherein a ski boot sole holder is pivotally mounted for lateral movement on a body member provided with adjustable spring means urging said sole holder in a forward direction. Each of a pair of surfaces on said body member is each oppositely disposed outside of the central axis of the body member and adapted to cooperate with corresponding surfaces...

Polyesters are combined with UV-stabilizing substances in order to produce an end product, such as a film, sheet, ribbon or filament, by mixing polyester granules and the UV-stabilizing substance in powdered form at an elevated temperature such that at least the exterior surface of the polyester granules is soft, thereby to cause the powdered UV-stabilizing substance to adhere to the individual po...

The mold release properties of a molded polyurethane foam are improved by including the foamable mixture to be molded, a reaction product of a polysiloxane and an organic monoisocyanate or polyisocyanate.

A method is disclosed of making sintered parts with cryogenically-produced powder derived from scrap metal, such as machine turnings. The scrap metal is subjected to two impacting operations (such as by use of a ball milling machine). The first operation is carried out with the use of a refrigerating agent (to lower the temperature of the scrap metal below its ductile-brittle transition temperatur...

Methods are disclosed for embrittling scrap metal for comminution and for subsequent or simultaneous treatment of the comminuted metal powder to improve sintering kinetics and prevent oxidation of alloying ingredients. A first embrittling method impacts the scrap metal at a temperature below its ductile-brittle transition temperature to cryogenically provide scrap metal powder. The scrap metal is ...
