The plate stacks are positioned for further processing in a clamping arrangement with clamping elements between stacks. Each element is displaceable by an amount of play X with respect to its neighboring element.

A plate stack clamping element is formed of adjacent leaf springs preformed to diverge where they extend beyond the plate stack. Compression of the diverging portions creates large area contact clamping force against the plate stack.

PURPOSE:To save labor and to improve efficiency by clamping one end of a required sheet layer and dropping same from the other end thereof so that each sheet is handled, which can facilitate an arranging operation and expedite the operation. CONSTITUTION:Just before a clamp moving frame 23 advances, the trailing end portion of a divided sheet layer A' is separated from receiving rolls 6 to be rece...

CONSTITUTION:At a place between the front end head 13 of a spindle and the head 17 of a supportin...

PURPOSE:To enhance stability of operation of a vehicle, in particular, at the time when the vehicle is driven along a curved road, by employing such an arrangement that, when the engine is operated under no load, only one valve other than 1-2 shift valve can be shifted and other shift valves are shifted forcibly to prescribed shift positions. CONSTITUTION:When an accelerator pedal of a vehicle equ...

PURPOSE:To enhance the stability of operation of a vehicle, in particular, at the time when the vehicle is driven along a winding road, by providing a means for shifting shift valves forcibly to a transmission stage excluding the first- speed stage and the highest-speed stage when an engine is operated under no load. CONSTITUTION:When an accelerator pedal of a vehicle equipped with an automatic tr...

PURPOSE:Smoothing the inside of the connected part in order for the tip of spigot of a platic tube not to protrude from the depth of socket having a widened diameter.

PURPOSE:To provide a guide monitor that instructs an accurate fuel condition to drver and indicates the most effective stage of change gear to the driver with lamps.

The apparatus also comprises a gasket which is secured to the lowermost foil side of the screen, around at least ...

A machine sequentially manufacturing a plurality of reinforced substrates such as shoe uppers, comprising a powder deposition station (30) wherein a stencil assembly (42) [Fig. 6] applies powder onto an annular receiving belt (22), the powder being applied in a three- dimensional configuration because of a peripheral spacing element arranged on the cut- out between the stencil (42) and the receivi...

A novel crystallographic modification ( beta -modification) of the pigment C. I. Pigment Red 53:1 is described and claimed which has characteristic reflection values in its X-ray diffraction pattern obtained by means of Cu-K alpha radiation. This novel pigment form is obtained by reacting an aqueous solution of an alkali metal or ammonium salt of the formula 1 (1) with the equivalent...

A B 5 T R A C T A food slicing machine which folds up into a compact storage position includes a motor driven blade mounted on an upright housing. A platform pivotally mounted to the housing supports a sliding food tray which in turn receives a food pusher used to maintain the food against a guide surface during the slicing stroke. A thumb guard pivotally connected with the food tray must be posit...
