Delle bobine (2) vengono alimentate in successione ad una macchina utilizzatrice (3a) tramite un dispositivo (1) di alimentazione provvisto di almeno un caricatore (4) a cartuccia sostituibile, in cui uno stelo (10), estendentesi da un supporto (5) atto ad essere disposto in una precisa posizione di riferimento rispetto alla macchina utilizzatrice (3a), impegna in modo scorrevole una pluralità di ...

A disposable urinary and fecal waste containment product (10) comprising a separate front urinary pad (12) and a separate rear fecal pad (11) detachably joined together is disclosed. Each of the front and rear pads comprise a liquid impermeable backing, an absorbent core and a liquid permeable facing. The rear fecal pad is preferably substantially square or rectangular and has elastic means (17),(...

A green tyre manufacturing apparatus comprising an unwinding means (8,9) for umwinding tyre fabric in sheet form from a reel (10,11), characterised by a transfer means (6,7) for transferring the unwound tyre component longitudinally thereof, said transfer means (6,7) comprising a first conveyor (18) disposed upstream of the transferring means and a second conveyor (19) disposed downstream of the s...

The spectrometer includes a continuous spectrum light source (1) which supplies a bifurcated fibre-optic probe (3) with light for illuminating the stone (6) under examination. The returned light travels back through the probe to enter a variable monochrome diffraction stage (8-13). In the diffraction stage a grating (11) is mechanically rotated to permit light of gradually increasing wavelength t...

A winding (2) having a winding length constant up to a limiting diameter (D) is applied to a tube (1). To achieve a uniform yarn draw-off tension, even where packages of large mass and correspondingly large diameter are concerned, the winding length continues to be reduced with an increasing diameter. If the tube (1) is made conical, the conicity of the winding (2) is also reduced, thus leadi...

A fabric softening heavy duty liquid detergent, useful for both cleaning and softening laundry, includes certain proportions of sodium linear higher alkylbenzene sulfonate, sodium alkyl polyethoxy sulfate, builder salt (highly preferably a mixture of sodium tripolyphosphate and sodium carbonate), finely divided swelling bentonite and water. Such product is a stable pourable liquid, convenient for ...

A device for cutting successive sheets from a traveling web includes a pair of thin-walled knife-carrying cutting cylinders concentrically mounted over fixed supporting shafts. To prevent ringing of the shafts at high cutting frequencies, due to resonant frequency interference, each support shaft is formed by a body having an inperforate cylindrical wall. The cylindrical wall of the support shaft ...

A hydraulic pressure control valve includes a modulator-controlled solenoid assembly which selectively axially displaces a disc armature adjacent thereto. When not attracted by the solenoid, the armature is biased away from the solenoid by a wave spring. Movement of the armature opens and closes the outlet of a lower body member to a source of hydraulic fluid under pressure. The armature is improv...

The device has force transmission members and consists of stationary switchable magnet poles (9,10;13,14) located axially spaced along the motion path of the part which contains axially spaced magnet counterpoles (2,4) with the same axial spacing as the magnet poles. Both magnet poles are apart of an electromagnet (61) which comprises a coil (12) and a yoke (11) common to both magnet poles which a...

The display unit is made up of a liquid crystal cell with many electrode segments (1 to 65), each of which can be individually activated. A symbol can be portrayed by selecting an appropriate combination of the segments. A separate line of thirteen electrode segments (71 to 83) is provided to alow display of text messages. Some of the segments (e.g. 1,2,3) depict directional arrows. When selected ...

A process for filtering out solid particles from liquids and backwashing the filter operates with a filter drum 5 arranged completely beneath the liquid surface 6, the circumferential surface 7 of which filter drum is covered with a filter medium 8 and through which the flow passes from the outside to the inside. Any backwash apparatus for removing the filter cake from the filter medium 8 is provi...

A document shredder has a cabinet-type base (4c, 4d) and a hood-type top (4) covering the cutting rollers (1, 2), which top has a feed channel (5) for shredded material tapering conically towards the roller nip (3), and in which top the upper limiting edge (K1) of the channel (K), viewed in vertical projection (VP), is laterally offset (a) relative to the roller nip (3). In this construction, the ...

A method of creating a borehole in an earth formation is provided, in a selected direction relative to an adjacent borehole formed in the earth formation. The method comprises arranging electromagnetic source means in a first of said boreholes at a plurality of locations along the length thereof, said electromagnetic source means inducing an electromagnetic field extending into a second of said bo...

An electric iron (10) has a printed circuit board (24) mounted to a rear wall (22) in the iron's housing (14). An operating switch (26) is mounted on the circuit board (24). The operating switch (26) connects the iron (10) to a source of electrical power when moved by a first manual force and disconnects the iron from the source of electrical power when moved by a second manual force or moved resp...
