Alternatively, the sealing portions may have a two-layered s...

The mobile reel consists of a trolley (8) with two wheels (9), a handle (30) for manoeuvring it, and a reel (2) to receive the hose. The reel is mounted on the trolley by a hollow supporting arm (4). The arm connects with the water supply and allows the reel to be rotated about a horizontal axis (44) as the hose is reeled in or out. The supporting arm rotates in a socket (6) with a vertical axis (...

A novel vent pin (1) releases air from moulds during ejection and/or vulcanisation of rubber items, especially tyres. This takes the form of a hollow (5) pin, one end (8) closed, the other (6) open. The closed end has small passages, especially 0.12 mm wide at most, forming de-aeration gaps. Also claimed are the method of construction, essentially as described; and a vulcanising mould, especiall...

In a process for transporting a cord reinforced breaker layer strip to a processing unit, especially a breaker layer building drum (4), during tyre manufacture, the strip, which after cutting from a continuous band (30) has parallel side edges and leading and trailing edges parallel to the reinforcing cords and forming an angle of 10-35 degrees with the side edges, is moved forward by two or more ...

The split gearbox (S) and range (R) gearbox are combined with the main (H) gearbox. When changing the individual gearboxes from the neutral position to the coupled position, the range gearbox is changed first, then the split gearbox and finally the main gearbox. Gear shift members of the main gearbox are preferably arranged direct on the drive shaft.

To monitor the paraffin coating applied to a running yarn, at the winder for cross-wound bobbins, the friction behavior is monitored at the surface of the bobbin against the friction drum during bobbin winding. Proportional values for the friction are determined by a continuous measurement of the angular speeds of the friction drum and the bobbin, for comparison with anticipated values during a b...

A damping component (17) is arranged between the fixture flange (10) of the main brake cylinder (1) and the fixture screws (14) of the braking force amplifier (2) penetrating the holes in the fixture flange. The damping component can also be arranged between a piston of the main brake cylinder and a sleeve supported on the piston.

Gray water is discharged to a filter drum with a vertical axis of rotation located with a concentric vessel. The gray water is centrifugally expelled from the drum into the gap between the drum and the vessel. The filter (5) has an inlet (30) for the incoming gray water and an outlet (2) for filtered water. The filter is back-rinsed from time to time through an outlet (20).

A carrier-free strip (3) of glue is placed between a base sheet (1) and a cover sheet (2) which is to be joined to the base sheet. The sheets (1, 2) are glued to one another under pressure. The glue strip (3) is dimensioned so that that its outer contour is smaller than that of the cover sheet. The sheets are welded to one another with a laser weld seam (4) running outside the outer contour of the...

There is a stationary air supply rail (16). The lifter and/or conveyor (22) moves along the rail. The rail has at least one aperture (35-38), which corresponds with an aperture (43) of the lifter and/or conveyor. The second aperture is located in a carriage (19) carrying the lifter or conveyor. The size of the aperture in transportation direction of a sheet is larger than the aperture in the suppl...

Two sensors having differing positional resolution, e.g. a laser radar (12) and a millimeter-wave radar (14) are mounted on the front of the vehicle (10) and are used in combination to detect obstacles on the road surface. If one of the sensors fails, the system operates an alarm or the brakes based on the output of the other sensor. If the laser radar fails, the alarm threshold is increased and t...

A device and method for providing a supply of single sheets wherein each single sheet has a varying thickness. The present invention includes a stack of single sheets that are supported on a lifting platform. The lifting platform includes a compensation device for leveling the stack by compensating for the varying thickness of each single sheet.

The mechanism secures a curved flexible item (10) on the cylinder (2) of the printing press. It has a spindle turning in a groove in the cylinder parallel to the axis of the cylinder. The spindle is in several sections (14.2), each with teeth (17) at the periphery and by which it meshes with a spring-loaded (24) transverse rack (19). The latter is slid in opposition to the spring by an actuator (4...

A method and an apparatus for the radiographic recording of a patient's dentition, jaws, and skull regions invalues seating a patient in a patient chair (9) so as localize the patient in the coordinate system of the radiographic apparatus in an unequivocal position before taking the exposure for a radiograph (87). Furthermore, in accordance with the invention, the radiograph (87) is used for measu...
