IPC: B30B15/10
Filed: 1993-05-21
Abstract: A cutting or bending machine is described with a combined clutch and brake mechanism (1). 
     Conventionally, combined clutch and brake mechanisms are desirable as they are more compact and cheaper than separate units. However, considerable heat is generated which limits the productivity of a machine with a combined mechanism. 
     The present invention provides cooling means by way of impeller means (41) and a guide duct (45) directing the air flow uniformly through the entire volume of the combined clutch and brake mechanism (1), preferably to the outer peripheral edges of the mechanism. Thus generated heat is dissipated continuously and the machine can be operated more productively. The impeller fan and the guide duct may direct the air flow axially or radially.

Abstract: The thread retainer consists of two retaining members (1, 2) which are arranged relative to one another in such a way that a gap (21) having a curved cross-sectional shape and with a width continuously uniform in the direction of action and a continuously increasing cross-sectional contour is formed. As a result of the one-sided mounting, the retaining members (1, 2) acting as levers form a gap which is rectilinear in the direction of action. Retention of a weft thread is brought about by a partial looping of one of the retaining members and the surface friction occurring thereby, with the result that a nip is avoided, so that damage to the thread is prevented. <IMAGE>

When the mode selector (151) is used to select the wrapping mode, the support post moving mechanism lowers the coin support post (70) by a distance substantially corresponding to the thickness of one coin each time the coin support post (70) receives a coin during the period between the time that the coin stacking device stacks coins in a number that is smaller than a predetermined number to be wrapped in one wrapped coin roll and the time that the coin support post (70) receives the predetermined number of coins. The thus constituted coin wrapping machine can be made compact and can prevent coin jamming with a mechanism of simple structure and wrap coins in a desired manner.

Abstract: This invention includes lead titanate containing La, and at least an element which forms a six-coordinate bond with oxygen atoms and which is selected from the group consisting of Mg and Mn. Accordingly, this invention provides a ferroelectric thin film which is imparted with a high c-axis orientation property while the film is formed. In addition, this thin film does not require a polarization process as with a bulk crystal. 
     The ferroelectric thin film is manufactured by the steps of: positioning a MgO single crystal substrate 9 disposed in advance with a foundation platinum electrode by a sputtering method on the surface of a substrate heater 10, exhausting a chamber 7, heating the substrate by the substrate heater 10, letting in sputtering gases Ar and O₂ through a nozzle 14 into the chamber 7, and maintaining a high degree of vacuum. Then, high frequency electric power is input to a target 1 from a high frequency electric power source 8 to generate plasma, and a film is formed on the substrate 9. In this way, a ferroelectric thin film containing, for example, [(1-x)·Pb 1-y La y Ti 1-y/4 O₃+x·MgO], where x=0.01∼0.10 and y=0.05∼0.25 can be manufactured.
