In a circular loom having two or more shuttles, at least one shuttle is provided with a tip portion which is upwardly or downwardly deviated out of the center line of the shuttle, and some warps are kept on the warp line during shedding motions. Said warps are moved downwardly or upwardly by the deviated tip portion of the shuttle. Some healds Hb, Hc are provided with elongate mails such that in o...

A refuse shredder, which includes a rotor assembly and a housing, has removable shredder hammers which are adapted for replacement without disassembly of the rotor. The hammers have compound slots formed in the hammer bodies and have entry openings leading to the slots, whereby they are mounted on vertical hammer shafts of the rotor assembly.

X-ray image detection apparatus in which an image detector is pivotally mounted on a carrier arm which in turn is pivotally mounted on a vertical column. A sprocket wheel and chain arrangement operatively interconnects the image detector, the carrier arm and the vertical column such that as the carrier arm is pivoted about a horizontal axis in one direction relative to the vertical column, the ima...

A flow-through centrifuge free of rotating seals. The centrifuge includes a frame having three spaced apart horizontal plates which carry a central bowl, a countershaft and a tube-supporting hollow shaft. A motor is arranged to drive the frame at an angular velocity of omega . The countershaft is driven by a stationary pulley on the motor and drives the bowl at an angular velocity of 2 omega . Th...

The invention is concerned with improvements in a web draw-in system for a web printing press comprising printing units with register rolls around which the web is trained, a draw-in bar to be attached to the leading end of the web and two tractive elements extending along the side frames of the press and guided by bend pulleys following the web path in the press. The tractive elements extend from...

The invention provides an apparatus for removing an animal from a shell. The apparatus has a tubular helical main portion having an inlet, an outlet and an attachment portion for coupling the apparatus to a source of high pressure fluid. The apparatus may be inserted into the shell and coupled to high pressure fluid which urges the animal from the shell.
