A device for comminuting refuse of all kinds, which comprises in a housing two drawing-in shafts driven so as to run in opposite directions to one another and extending parallel and spaced apart from one another, on which shafts blade discs which are arranged offset axially with respect to one another and engage in one another are provided fixed in terms of rotation, which blade discs have on thei...

Pneumatic yarn splicing method and apparatus for spun yarns. Suction nozzles for controlling yarn ends are arranged on both the sides of a splicing nozzle with a nozzle hole for jetting a compressed fluid. The sucking action of the yarn end control nozzle is stopped when or after the treatment of the yarn ends is completed, and then, a compressed fluid is jetted from the splicing nozzle to effect ...

Equipment for continuously measuring the length of an endless material, such as a yarn, which is being wound up on a machine into a circular package, the machine comprising a movable member whose position depends upon the diameter of the package. The measuring equipment comprises a movable transfer member mechanically coupled to the movable member of the machine, and therewith cooperating photoele...

This toe-fitting for safety ski binding is of the type intended for operating in conjunction with a boot supporting device and includes a boot supporting plate movable across the ski and adapted, during its movement, to cause through a cam mechanism the translation along the ski axis of a slide controlling the release spring in order to reduce the resistance thereof to the ski boot release movemen...

If materials to be unloaded are raised, moved and set down by a crane, the pivoting and positioning of the load hook must take place as quickly as possible. For this purpose, a radio-controlled, pivotable load hook arrangement with battery is provided, so that the load hook can be radio-controlled from a remote location by the crane driver during loading and unloading of the material to be unloade...

The invention relates to a heel hold-down of a ski binding, having a guide plate which is guided on a guide rail and on which a bearing block is arranged. On the inside of a transverse wall of the bearing block, the latter bears engagement cams. Supported in its side walls is an axle on which a spring housing and a sole hold-down with a tread bar are mounted. Arranged on the axle is a leg spring w...

The invention relates to a safety ski binding, having a pivotably mounted sole holder which engages releasably by pivoting movements in the vertical and horizontal direction. The invention is based on the object of designing a safety ski binding using constructionally simple means in such a way that the release force in a forward fall is reduced in relation to the vertical release force, but loose...

The process for manufacturing pneumatic tires comprises as essential step the manufacture of a tire body by winding cords or cables (3, 23, 35). The cord or cable is withdrawn from a supply reel (7) under constant tension and laid around and anchored to the bead cores (2; 22; 36; 39) arranged at both sides of the tire. In addition a peripherally extending belt is applied which again can be formed ...

A tire for two-wheel vehicle comprising a casing formed of a crown with a tread and two sidewalls each terminating in a bead intended to rest on a tire rim and an inner tube glued in manually removable manner to the inner wall of the casing in the region of the crown is improved due to the fact that the inner tube is glued under circumferential tension to the casing so that its inside equatorial r...

A stitch-through fabric includes a layer of diagonal or biased-extending filling yarn elements 196 to provide new aesthetic effects and multi- dimensional stability not previously known with this category of fabric. The yarns are laid by a carriage 154 driven along a path inclined to the fabric-forming direction of the machine and a layer of conventional filling yarns may also be supplied by a car...

A force transfer mechanism whereby an input force from a lever arm is transmitted from a resilient member through a block of deformable material to provide a push rod with an operational force. The deformable material is retained in a housing with a plurality of radial openings. A friction pad located in each of the radial openings is brought into contact with the deformable material. A sleeve whi...

A self shift type gas discharge panel in which pluralities of buses are respectively provided on a pair of substrates disposed opposite each other, electrodes are respectively connected to the buses and shift channels are set up in row and column directions with arrays of discharge points formed between the opposed electrodes of the substrates to enable shifting of a discharge spot in the row or c...

A method for producing a prepreg roving, which comprises impregnating a composition comprising an unsaturated polyester, an unsaturated monomer and a polyisocynate compound in a filamentary reinforcing material, and then heating the impregnated reinforcing material to react the unsaturated polyester with the polyisocyanate compound; and a method for producing a fiber-reinforced plastic article, wh...

A system for handling valuable documents within a monetary institution includes a main data processor (HD) and a plurality of control units (SE) or branch data processors (FD). Arranged to co-operate with those control units or branch data processors is a document-handling intermediate means (IE, UE) said means having individually identifiable cassettes. Means are provided which when there is rela...

Particulate polystyrene containing blowing agent and having improved expandability is based on polystyrene having a weight-average mean molecular weight of not more than from 130,000 to 180,000 and a molecular weight distribution curve in which the high molecular weight flank drops steeply. The expandable polystyrene particles are produced by polymerizing styrene in aqueous suspension in the prese...

The invention relates to pre-expanded plastic beads based on poly-para-methylstyrene with the following properties: (a) the bead size lies between 0.2 and 3 cm, (b) the thermal stability, measured in accordance with DIN 53,424 is above 110 DEG C., and (c) the bulk density is below 35 g/l. The corresponding expandable plastic beads are prepared through the polymerization of para-methylstyrene in a...
