Process for the assembly of groups of plates for batteries, with continuous separator of microporous material obtained from a flat strip suitably folded to create a sequence of parallel horizontal channels in which plates of opposite polarity are inserted. The plates are fed by special distributors and inserted side by side in the required number in the single channels of the separator, forming co...

A bistable actuating solenoid device having an axially translatable armature which is stable at either a first or a second position. The device employs a solenoid winding wrapped around a bobbin having an internal bore with the armature disposed in the bore. A permanent magnet is located at one end of the bobbin for holding the armature in the first position and a spring urges the armature toward ...

Process for the treatment of yarns on their run to at least one bobbin or to a warp or yarn beam. There is applied to the yarn or yarns a flowable anti-adhesive, by means of which the mutual adhesion of the yarn turns adjacent to one another on the bobbin or beam is reduced or prevented. For applying the anti-adhesive to the yarn or yarns, there is used at least one applicator roller, through the ...

A seamless endless belt for battery pasting machines, particularly lead batteries, consisting of an outer endless woven fabric formed by 1 to 3 plies and an inner backing layer formed by multi-strata of non-woven webs, consisting of synthetic staple fibres and of light woven meshes; the outer woven fabric and the inner backing layer being bound together by needling.

A control system for a selector mechanism for a vehicle provided with a clutch (1) and a continuously variable transmission (2) having operational ranges such as a "drive" range and a "reverse" range. A synchronizer (27) is provided for selecting the forward or reverse gears. A selector lever (100) is provided for operating the synchronizer (27) for the selection of the ranges. A control unit (145...

A system for controlling a clutch current of an electromagnetic clutch of a vehicle when the vehicle accelerates downhill. The clutch is normally engaged when vehicle speed is higher than a first reference speed. When the vehicle accelerates downhill at a speed higher than a second reference speed which is lower than the first reference speed, the clutch is engaged to provide an engine braking eff...

A thread splicing apparatus (20) serves for the knot-free connection of threads (10). In the apparatus are arranged a thread splicing chamber (22) and, at a distance from the thread splicing chamber (22), a tube (1) through which fluid flows. The tube (1) serves to receive a thread end (11) to prepare the latter for the splicing operation. The tube (1) possesses a rough inner surface (2, 3, 6) whi...

The charge-acceptance capacity of the negative electrodes of a starter battery, which is greatly reduced at low temperatures under the freezing point of water by an expander additive, can, at the price of only a small deterioration in the cold-startability, be improved by reducing the expander concentration in a part of the electrodes of each of the negative plate groups and/or by these plates con...

Filtration appts. for liqs. laden with solid particles in the shape of a filter canister is equipped with a backflushing device comprising a central stand pipe with a revolving nozzle for a cleaning medium at the top end. The tangential nozzle effects the rotation and the nozzle is permitted to descend from the top by releasing hydraulic fluid which supports the stand pipe. ADVANTAGE - This achiev...

In an automotive vehicle, a shift in speed position is suppressed by increasing a hysteresis amount in vehicle speed between an shift-up vehicle speed and a shift-down vehicle speed when a periodic variation in engine output is effected under the control of a slip control unit, or by inhibiting a downshift for a predetermined length of time during the periodic variation in engine output effected u...

The higher alcohol yield of a hydroformylation process comprising catalytic hydroformylation of olefinic feedstock and hydrogenation of the crude product is improved by separating light materials and desired alcohols from the hydrogenated product, and then subjecting the remaining heavy materials to catalytic steam cracking at 260 DEG -380 DEG C. The fraction of the cracked product which is rich ...

1. A forced induction, coal-fired steam generator for a gas and steam turbine power plant with a gas turbine connected to its exhaust line, a waste heat steam generator connected downstream on the gas-side of the gas turbine and a steam turbine connected to the steam side of the waste heat steam generator, characterised in that the coal-fired steam generator (1) includes at least one sub-stoichiom...

Coatings, which act as barrier layers to inhibit migration of alkali metal ions from a glass surface and/or act as colour suppressing underlayers for overlying infra-red reflecting or electrically conducting layers, are deposited by pyrolysis of a gaseous mixture of a silane, an unsaturated hydrocarbon and carbon dioxide on a hot glass surface at a temperature of 600 DEG C to 750 DEG C.

PURPOSE:To aim at the common use of the engine main body side and the simplification of fitting by enclosing the respective end parts of plural oil passages on the engine main body side in the form of an blank cap so as to be integrally formed and having the enclosed part cut opened according to the necessity so as to fit an oil filter. CONSTITUTION:In the engine of a tractor and the like, an oil ...

PURPOSE:To efficiently treat an oil of by-product by limiting content of methylnaphthalene in the oil of by-product prepared in production of alkylbenzene or alkyltoluene to a fixed value and heating the oil of by-product in a liquid phase in the presence of a specific crystalline synthetic zeolite catalyst. CONSTITUTION:A raw material to be treated having <=2wt.%, especially <=0.5wt.% methylnapht...

The present invention provides an apparatus for continuously coating aligned cords having knots or other enlarged irregularities therein. A cord-alignment baffle means of novel construction located at the cord entrance of an extrusion coating die assembly enables passage of splices such as knots. The baffle means comprises a plurality of cord-alignment apertures, each of which comprises a guide po...

PURPOSE: To improve starting performance and operating characteristics by performing joint type connection from one end of a connecting rod to the first lever arm of an oscillating lever and performing the joint type connection of the other end through a crank pin eccentrically to a rotor concerning a dry shaver. CONSTITUTION: A first lever arm 14 of two oscillating levers 13 and a rotor 9 install...
