The invention relates to an electrical battery comprising a container (1) divided into cells in which are housed plates and separator assemblies (3), each cell comprising an anchorage (9) for the connecting bridges (4) which join the plates of the same polarity, the anchorage (9) serving to support the bridge (4) so avoiding the risk of breakage and a fixing member (8) having wedge-shaped columns ...

In a yarn splicing process comprising steps of allowing a yarn from a bobbin and a yarn leading to a package to intersect with each other in a yarn splicing device; cutting off yarn end portions extending from the yarn splicing device; splicing the cut yarn ends; and re-starting the winding operation for winding up a yarn on a package from a bobbin, the process further includes steps of clamping t...

Before winding, threads are treated with a liquid. For this purpose, there is arranged upstream of the winding system (3-5) a tube (6) which deflects the thread to the bobbin (4). In the wall of the tube, a hole is provided in the region spanned by the thread. The tube is fed with the liquid. The thread is guided in such a way that it touches the tube in a looping region which is lower than the ou...

When loading sheet feeders with stacks of sheets supported by pallets the pallets are each supplied to a lift mechanism and raised by same and then lowered after removing the stack. The pallets are each brought to a lift table which is fixed relative to the sheet feeder, where they are raised by same and after reaching a predetermined height or after removal of the sheets are lowered at least to a...

The device includes a supply device (26) by means of which the stack (6) supplied to the lift table (5) can be brought into a predetermined zero starting position on same. The stack and lift table are brought to a predetermined working height where the sheets are removed from the stack with further rhythmic lifting of the lift table. Through positioning means the position of the corner edges betwe...

In a pressing device for a paper-trimming machine, in particular for three-knife trimmers for three-sided trimming of book blocks, pamphlets or the like, a press ram exerts, from a mechanical drive arrangement, via a lever arm movable about a central pivot and having a pressing rod which receives the press ram, and with intermediate connection of a spring element, a pressing force on the material ...

An adhesive sheet material for use on the skin comprises a backing layer which has upon at least a portion of one surface a pressure sensitive adhesive layer. A removable release liner covers the adhesive layer and a support layer is attached to the backing layer on the surface remote from the pressure sensitive adhesive layer. The stripping load required to separate the release liner from the adh...

Apparatus for inspecting the sealing surface (36) of a container finish (34) that includes a light source (42) positioned to direct light energy onto the container sealing surface as the container is held in stationary position and rotated about its central axis. A camera (48) that includes an array (80) of light sensitive elements (80a through 80n) is positioned and oriented with respect to the c...

In the feeding of a strip of tire building material to a former, it is desirable to achieve a butt-joint between the ends of the strip when it has been wrapped fully around the circumference of the former (which may already have some material which has been wrapped around its surface in a previous operation). As the strip is fed to the former, its length is measured and the diameter of the former ...

PURPOSE:To obtain an organic electroluminescent element which can be easily formed into a thin film and has a large area and a high luminous efficiency by using a conjugated polymer having specified repeating units as a luminescent layer. CONSTITUTION:An organic electroluminescent element having a luminescent layer between a pair of electrodes at least one of which is transparent or translucent, w...

PURPOSE:To minimize the difference in the transmittance of light by a difference in colors and to prevent coloring at the time of a black display by forming >=2 kinds of parts which vary in gap thickness in one display picture element of a liquid crystal cell.
