PURPOSE:To provide superior reliability and mass production by separating a spare battery from a main battery and by providing a circuit formed by connecting a diode and a current limiting resistor in series and in parallel to a switching means between the positive electrode terminals of both the batteries. CONSTITUTION:A main battery (A) and a spare battery B are of existing types. The battery B ...

PURPOSE:To make a storage battery device superior in both reliability and mass- productivity by separately forming a main battery and a spare battery, directly connecting the positive electrodes of both batteries to each other, and connecting the negative terminal of the spare battery to the nearest automobile body via a switch means. CONSTITUTION:A main battery A and a spare battery B are mono-bl...

A laying roller for textile yarns which, via a central air supply, supplies two air feed channels which are separated from each other. Each channel feeds air via a respective one of two porous sintered bearing bushings which are axially separated from each other. The air passing through the porous bushings builds up an air cushion for supporting a surrounding roller shell.

To clean bobbin sleeves placed on bobbin carriers, a sleeve monitor (24) sends data to a control (27) on the dimensions and location of any residual yarn winding (72) still on the sleeve (41). The control (27) activates the sleeve stripper according to the measured data. Also claimed is an assembly with a sleeve monitor (24) at the distribution path (9), to measure the dimensions and location of a...

Absorbent prod., e.g. nappy for small child or incontinence comprises: (a) an external layer (2) impermeable to fluid, (b) an internal layer (3) permeable to fluid, (c) an intermediate tampon (4), with defined absorbent power (P), (d) a visual display (20) of the degree of humidification of the tampon (4), calibrated according to the absorbent power (P) and characteristics of the absorbent prod. V...

The removable timer is applied to the control units (68) of a control actuator (62). These devices have a ferrule part (10) and a pipe connector part (12) which are connected to each other mechanically and are connected electrically by contact pins. The timer is carried inside an intermediate housing (14) which fits, by a mechanical connection, between the ferrule (10) and the pipe connector. ADVA...
