PURPOSE:To hold a spool always in the neutral position and eliminate a trouble of hiccough phenomenon or the like, by controlling a pulley control valve by a single solenoid valve and preventing a pulsation of the oil pressure acting in a pressure oil chamber. CONSTITUTION:A V belt driven continuously variable transmission provides a pully control valve 10, which is provided between a pressure oil...

PURPOSE:To reduce the number of parts and the weight, in an oil strainer assembling device for an automatic transmission of an F.F vehicle, by forming an oil sump directly in the lower wall of a trans axle case then mounting an oil strainer from the jointing face with the trans axle housing. CONSTITUTION:Automatic transmission 1 is provided with a trans axle case 2 to be jointed at the jointing fa...

In a process of producing mechanically alloyed composite powder, a mixture consisting of at least one metallic powder and at least one non-metallic powder or of a plurality of metallic powders is ground in a drum mill in which a large amount of energy is introduced into the material being ground. To obtain composite powders having reproducible properties for mechanical technology, the powders are ...

A device for guiding yarn as it is wound on a package from a source at a constant speed. The yarn passes over a yarn guide member which is supported on a holder. The holder is resiliently supported transversely to the direction of the yarn travel through the guide member for compensating for changes of the yarn tension during winding of the yarn onto the package.

1319495 Ammination catalysts BADISCHE ANILIN-& SODA-FABRIK AG 22 Oct 1970 [23 Oct 1969] 50118/70 Heading BIE [Also in Divisions C2 and C3] Amines are produced by reacting an alcohol with a stoichiometric excess of ammonia or a primary or secondary amine at elevated temperature and pressure in the presence of hydrogen and a supported hydrogenation catalyst containing elemental Co, Ni and Cu in the ...

The incidence of peritonitis is reduced in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis by irradiating the peritoneum access tube connection with ultraviolet (UV) radiation so as to have an antimicrobial effect on the fluid flow path defined thereby prior to draining and infusion of dialysis fluid therethrough. The apparatus for effecting UV irradiation of the dialysis fluid flow path includes a hous...

According to the method of the invention for removing at least one layer of reinforcing elements (4), such as steel cords, etc. from a breaker or belt (6) located between the tread area (3) and the carcass (5) of a rubber tyre; the tread area of the tyre is first removed down to the layer of reinforcing elements by rasping off this tread area, and afterwards each reinforcing element (4), for examp...

A method is disclosed for achieving improved reduction efficiency and economy in the reduction of particulate metal ores, e.g. iron ore, in a vertical shaft, moving bed reactor having a reduction zone in which a heated reducing gas is caused to flow through a portion of the ore bed to reduce the metal ore thereof to metal; e.g. sponge iron. The improved efficiency and economy is achieved through a...

A powder metallurgy consolidation process in which the unconsolidated metal powder is placed in a sealable mold; the mold is evacuated and sealed; the mold is placed in an open top container larger than the mold; the space between the mold and container is filled with a free flowing refractory powder, preferably minus twenty mesh powder graphite; and the sealed mold and its contents are heated in ...

Oil emerging from a storage tank and containing all forms of pollution is placed in extensive surface contact with an underlying washing liquid having a greater specific gravity, on to which it diffuses, gives up to it material soluble therein and, in the absence turbulent flows causes solid particles to sink into it after which it rises up and makes room for newly-arriving contaminated oil. This ...

This invention relates to polyurethane-polyurea cellular elastomers having excellent energy absorbing properties over a wide temperature range and at various impact speeds and, more particularly, to the production of such elastomers by reacting a polymer polyol, an aromatic polyamine and, an aromatic glycol with an organic polyisocyanate. The elastomers are useful as energy absorbing components in...

This application relates to the use of alkyl alkanoates having molecular weights no greater than 74 as blowing agents in the production of flexible slabstock polyurethane foams. Compared to the blowing agents (fluorocarbons) widely used commercially in producing such foams, the alkyl alkanoates are more efficient in that they produce a greater volume of gas per pound of blowing agent.
