A process for the separation of foreign matter from a liquid, which process comprises mixing a stream of contaminated liquid containing dissolved gas with a stream of induced gas to provide a multi-phase flow, subjecting the multi-phase flow to turbulence and shearing thereby to produce a well dispersed bubbly liquid stream, passing the bubbly liquid stream into a vessel which contains the liquid ...

PURPOSE:To perform abrupt travel/stop operation without changing step of pedal even under deflock operation by interlocking a differential device with the pedal. CONSTITUTION:A cam 28 for pressure operating a shift fork 26 through stepping under initial non-travel/stop operation range (a) and following travel/stop operation range (b) to the deflock side is fitted over a rotary support 12A rotatabl...

Method and apparatus are disclosed for the pasting of foraminous battery plate substrates with viscous, thixotropic pastes using an extrusion type bifurcated nozzle.

PURPOSE:To ensure the gripping of a thread by forming a flange part of a collet with three flanges having cutouts, in a pile and by rotating the intermediate one of them upon switching so that a thread is gripped. CONSTITUTION:A flange part 14 of a collet 13 is formed with three flanges 14a, 14b, the intermediate flange 14b being rotatable relatively to the flanges 14a on both sides thereof. When ...

PURPOSE:To wind the titled yarn around an inexpensive paper tube bobbin without the bobbin deformation and winding collapse due to the winding pressure, by winding a multifilamentary yarn around the paper tube bobbin with a ring twisting frame winder by a winding method of reducing the winding width gradually with time under a specific winding tension. CONSTITUTION:A thermoplastic synthetic multif...

A transverse cutter for fine papers consists of two mutually co-operating cutter rolls, of which one is directly driven by two electric motors. The upper cutter spindle is driven with the lower cutter spindle by a gear wheel driver at each end, which drive has an inclined set of teeth with constant pitch circle diameter and can be adjusted by axial displacement to be free from backlash. By means o...

An incontinence device consisting of a rectangular pad of absorbent material incorporating along its upper surface at least one strip of a skeleton polyester foam material, the function of which is to enable urine to flow rapidly to the surface of those regions of the pad not immediately saturated by urine. In a preferred embodiment there are provided three strips of skeleton foam, two peripheral ...

A knotting arrangement, especially for spool frames for warping and other textile machines in which the orbital knotting head is connected to a suction tube and has a freely movable clamping body, e.g. a ball, therein which, when air pressure is supplied to the suction tube can press the ball against a seat to hold the yarn end. The clamping body is not connected to any elements within the head an...

The invention relates to a process for transferring metal ions from an aqueous liquid to a non-aqueous liquid and then to another aqueous liquid. The non-aqueous liquid contains one or more complexing agents and is kept separate from the aqueous liquid releasing metal ions by one or more microporous hydrophobic membrane(s). The non-aqueous liquid is circulated through two or more transfer zones in...

Apparatus and method for inspecting the finish of transparent containers, particularly glass containers, which include facility for directing diffused light energy laterally through the container finish as the container is rotated about its central axis. A camera includes a plurality of light sensitive elements disposed in a linear array angulated with respect to the container axis to view the ext...

Apparatus for positioning and maintaining a substrate within a tire mold. The substrate receives an applique which is to be transferred to the sidewall of a tire during the curing process. The substrate is of steel construction and is adapted to engage a receiving member within a circumferential surface of the tire mold. The receiving member is magnetized to attract the steel substrate and to reta...

Paint compositions suitable for forming decals which can be applied to vehicle tire sidewalls. The compositions comprise a saturated elastomer having a glass transition temperature not higher than -40 degrees C., a pigment which is preferably titanium dioxide in an amount in the range of 0.5 to 10 times the weight of elastomer, and a solvent. Compositions of this invention are resistant to ultravi...

A release binding for cross-country, downhill and telemark skiers. Owing to stronger plastics skis and new bindings which do not release in the event of a fall, etc., the number of injuries in cross-country skiing has increased and the type of injuries has worsened. Telemark skiing, which is now rapidly gaining ground, also increases the demands for release bindings for cross- country skiers too. ...

PURPOSE:To simplify the control of a CPU, by inhibiting a response signal transmission to a CPU and restarting to a storage section based on a memory cycle end signal formed in the storage device, when an error takes place after the start from the CPU. CONSTITUTION:When a START signal comes to a storage device from a CPU, the signal is fetched to a register and starts a control circuit via an OR g...

A safety ski binding mounted on a member movable with respect to the ski but fixedly secured thereto. A release of the ski boot from engagement with the ski binding is initiated by forces applied to the heel holder. The heel holder is movable about both a vertical axis and a horizontal axis so that it is responsive to not only vertical and horizontal applied forces by the ski boot but also diagona...

An umbrella with an oval canopy comprising a center pole (1), a plurality of long main ribs (12), and a plurality of short main ribs (31). The center pole (1) consists of upper and lower poles (1') (1'') slidably fitted. Each long main rib (12) consists of a proximal long main rib (16) and a long distal rib (19) slidably fitted to the proximal long main rib (16) through a slide member (18). Each s...

Herbicidal compositions containing as active ingredients quaternary bipyridylium herbicides and additionally containing as a safety factor, an odorant alkyl carboxylic acid such as valeric acid and butyric acid.

PURPOSE:To judge whether a fault occurs to a CPU or a circuit without requiring any complicated procedure by allowing each control system to transmit normal/abnormal status information on the system and that on another control system. CONSTITUTION:At respective control systems A-D, pieces of their normal/ abnormal status information and pieces of normal/abnormal status information on other systems...
