A spincasting technique for forming a syntactic insulation layer around a pipeline includes rotating a drum while or after injecting components for forming syntactic insulation material into said drum. In this manner a syntactic material is formed in which larger, low density, microspheres are biased towards the inner surface of the insulation layer.

A fixture for a segment of tape, on which an IC chip is mounted, comprises two support members. The tape is held between the support members and is connected to external circuits by way of conductive projections formed in one of the support members. The fixture protects the chip from damage during testing before it is incorporated in a circuit.

A disposable hygienic support for cleaning and drying reactive diagnostic strips, these strips exhibiting a reacting surface portion in contact with which a fraction of biological material to be analysed is placed. The support comprises a substantially rigid covering (1) and an element of absorbent material (3) fixed therein.The element is accessible from at least two opposite ends of the covering...

The invention relates to a safety lock for lifts, which, when necessary, stops a descending lift cage by acting upon a cable 16 running along the lift shaft and fixed to the arresting apparatus of the lift cage. The safety lock according to the invention is constituted by a free- standing device 6 placed at optional height along the said cable and incorporating an eccentric member 14 which is mano...

The rescue equipment lowers a person at controlled speed from a building. It comprises a drum (9) rotating in a housing (1) and with a rope or steel band (10) winding on and off it. - A round recess in the drum has a truncated-cone wall against which a mating round brake shoe (13) works, prevented from turning in the housing and detachable if necessary. A rotary component (16) slides the shoe in t...

The headgear (1) has a hood (2) with a frame (2') and one or more holders (3) for the support straps (6-8). The frame is made of a porous, energy absorbing and shape permanent material and the holder is arranged within the frame. There are protruding parts (4) in the hood on to which the support straps are attached. A front section (31) of the frame is intended to cover the front part of the crown...

The invention relates to a transportation trolley for flowers, plants or the like, comprising a chassis (1) with at least two swivel castors, two vertical partitions (3, 4) extending at two opposite sides of said chassis and a number of horizontal trays (5) extending between said partitions. For making said transporation trolley versatile in its use the position of the partitions (3, 4) can be var...
