The yarn (1) is wound onto a cross-wound package (4) by means of a grooved drum (3), and a first sensor (6) is provided for determining the circumferential speed of a member rotating synchronously at the speed of the traversing yarn. A second sensor (7) determines the position of the yarn (1) on the package (4) in relation to the longitudinal axis thereof, and a correction factor is derived from t...

PURPOSE:To make a device compact by connecting a bevel gear type intermediate differential device that interlocks with an output shaft and a bevel gear type differential device for the front or rear wheel using a hollow shaft and housing them in the casing of the power transmission device of a horizontal engine type 4-wheel drive car. CONSTITUTION:The drive power of an engine 10 is divided into si...

PURPOSE:To perform both heat collection and heat-insulation with the same tank by a method wherein a thin heat-insulating material is arranged between heat-collecting panel and water, and a surface of the heat-collecting panel which contacts the heat-insulating material is treated so that infrared lays are sufficiently reflected. CONSTITUTION:1 is a heat-collecting panel and 2 is a reflecting surf...

PURPOSE:To make a container compact and make terminal fitting simple by installing a convexity for fitting outer terminal and safety valve accommodation part in one divided case and installing a convexity for fitting outer terminal and a projecting piece which covers a cut groove installed in the safety valve accommodating part in the other divided case. CONSTITUTION:When cases 1 and 2 are faced, ...

PURPOSE:To reduce occurrences of strand being cut under drawing-out by vertically placing a package so rewound that the tapers on both ends have a certain specific angle, and by drawing the long glass fiber to the central pat right over the interior surface of the package at a speed below a specified level. CONSTITUTION:If a cake of a long glass fiber dried and solidified is rewound into a package...

PURPOSE:To enable the strong wind having a constant wind velocity and a constant direction to be secured continuously by allowing the line in adiabatic and airtight structure to be moored in the air by a baloon and opening a part of the upper and the lower ends of the line and installing a windmill power generator in the neighborhood of the opened part at the lower end. CONSTITUTION:The line 2 in ...

PURPOSE:To surely lock a vehicle with compact construction, in a tricycle and the like where a driving shaft is extended to both sides of a unit formed with an engine or the like as the integral unit, by providing a stopper gear and lock pawl, disengageably arranged in the stopper gear, in a driving shaft system. CONSTITUTION:In a small and light weight tricycle and the like, in which an engine or...

An improved process for the preparation of cycloalkanols and cycloalkanones by the liquid phase oxidation of a cycloalkane having from 5 to 12 carbon atoms in the ring by means of a gas containing molecular oxygen to obtain an oxidation mixture containing cycloalkyl hydroperoxide and acids, and the subsequent decomposition of such cycloalkyl hydroperoxide to cycloalkanols and cycloalkanones. The d...

A cam adjusting assembly for a rotary cutter blade in a shrimp peeling machine. The assembly includes a retention member disposed for movement in a slot in a retention gear with a cam means being selectively positioned along the length of the slot and maintained in a desired position by a biasing means which connects the cam member to the retention member thereby permitting the shrimp cutting blad...

Adjusting apparatus for a shrimp processing machine to adjust the depth of a rotary cutting blade relative to a shrimp clamping assembly in which a plurality of different width shims, each adapted to be moved independently of the other shims, are rotatably fixed to a pin extending from a mounting bracket attached to a machine frame post. The shims can be moved from an operative to inoperative posi...

A bipolar sphinctertome for use in endoscopic retrograde sphincterotomy procedures includes an elongated, flexible, plastic tube (12) having either a single or a double lumen and includes a segment near its distal end (20) which is both flexible and conductive. This segment is connected by a wire (24) extending through the lumen to a terminal at the proximal end of the device adapted to be coupled...
