A compressed gas splicing head assembly in an automatic splicing device for producing a knot-free thread connection by splicing, includes a compressed gas splicing head having a splicing channel with two ends formed therein defining a plane of symmetry in longitudinal direction of the splicing channel, the splicing head having outlets for the splicing channel formed therein, and the splicing head ...

An apparatus for applying a tire material such as carcass ply to a molding drum in a tire molding process wherein the cut leading end of the ply is caused to pressure-adhere onto the molding drum by a leading-end applying and pressure-adhering roller. The molding drum is caused to rotate at an angle less than one rotation, and thereafter the ply is cut by the cutter mechanism, and the molding drum...

A load of dirty shellfish which are arranged in an unordered fashion one above the other and one next to the other is brushed with simultaneous rinsing by a moved brush arrangement, which is pressed against the said load, with simultaneous rinsing using water. This process causes the individual shellfish to be revolved in such a way that they also clean one another by means of mutual abrasion. In ...

1. Electromagnetic drive arrangement having a permanent magnet (10 ; 32) arranged in a movable manner between two magnet poles (1, 2 ; 22, 23) and an actuating element (9 ; 33), which is connected with the permanent magnet (10 ; 32), for a machanical switching operation, - in which the two magnet poles (1, 2 ; 22, 23) are arranged with fixed spacing in respect of each other, said spacing limiting ...

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 ...

Guide conductor for a driverless vehicle which is guided along a high frequency induction field which is generated by the guide conductor and sensed by means of detectors, the guide conductor being a single uninterrupted conductor (12) which forms, in the form of a conductor loop, two conductor branches which are located in parallel at a predetermined distance along the carriageway (10a, 11) and a...
