Abstract: A detonating impact tool 10 has a manual recycler that works by manually pressing the tool and a fastener 25 against a work piece 51 to push a front housing 12 into a main housing 11 against a compression spring 30. This charges a detonation chamber 15 with a fuel and air mixture that is precompressed and detonated to drive a piston 20 and its impact rod 22 forward, driving the fastener into the work piece. On completion of its impact stroke, the piston clears an exhaust port 31, allowing exhaust gases to escape through an exhaust passageway 32. Following this, purging air rushes in through inlet 27 as the exhaust gases collapse; and as the tool is retracted from the work piece, pumping seal 26 draws purging, cooling, and recharging air into detonation chamber 15 as front housing 12 is returned to its forward position by the spring.

Abstract: An electromechanical gating mechanism (10) comprises an electrical energy generating system for generating electrical energy in response to and utilizing energy derived from mechanical motion consciously generated by an intelligent agency. An electronic decision making apparatus (24) is solely powered by the electrical energy generated by the electrical energy generating device. The decision making apparatus (24), which may include a non-volatile memory, is adapted to receive information, to make one of a set of possible decisions based on the information and on its logic and/or data in its memory and to generate a specific low power electrical output in response to a selected one of the set of possible decisions being made. A mechanical gate (28) has at least two positions. An electrical to mechanical energy conversion device (27) serves for converting electrostatically the low power electrical output into a minute mechanical force/movement and for applying the minute mechanical force/movement to position the gate in a selected one of its positions.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB88/00342 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 8, 1990 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 8, 1990 PCT Filed Apr. 29, 1988 PCT Pub. No. WO88/08775 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 17, 1988.A utility knife comprises a lower elongate part shell 1 and an upper such part shell 3 forwardly fitted with interengaging wedging surfaces whereby they clamp together on relative longitudinal movement. This movement is achieved by turning nut 2 on shank 8 to bear on wall 30. The loosening of the nut 2 to unclamp the part shells and thus permit blade 43 to be pushed forward with slider 42 by pushbutton 41 does not separate the part shells 1 and 3 since the end spur 9 of the shank 8 still rides on arresting web 37. Maximum unscrewing of the nut, however, permits separation e.g. for access to stack of spare blades 60 resiliently held at 59 in the rearward part of shell 1 (now unencumbered by the conventional screw-shank), but does not lead to loss of nut 2 because of a complementary detent configuration 25 at the end of the shank and in the end wall 2a of the nut prevents complete nut/shank separation. Spur 9 can be upwardly sloping at its underside and thus constitute an auxiliary clamping means for part shell 1 against part shell 3.

A rotatable valve body (502) is positioned within the valve chamber (505) and a valve passageway (509) of variable cross-sectional area is provided either in the chamber or on the valve member. The effective area and length of the flow passageway interposed between the inlet (506) and outlet (508) to the valve is adjustable to regulate flow by moving the valve body relative to the valve member. Various accessories can be selectively attached to the valve body including a backplate (510) which facilitates single-handed operation and an optional cover plate (550) which may be secured to the backplate to provide security from patient tampering. In the preferred embodiment the valve housing and internal valve members are fabricated from dissimilar plastic materials of different hardness to improve the sealing therebetween. In another embodiment, the flow passage has two circumferential portions (850, 860) interconnected by a bridge (855) to provide flow regulation over substantially 360 DEG  range of rotation.

Abstract: Pictures or other objects hung on a wall could be illuminated hitherto by means of compact lamps in an unsatisfactory manner in terms of design. In order to achieve an improvement both in respect of the construction and the design, the picture rail is constructed as a profile rail (6) which serves at the same time as an electric conductor and is connected to a current supply. The hanging elements (7) are likewise constructed as electric conductors and are in connection via contact heads with the respective electric phase of the profile rail (6). A lamp (11) can then be attached to the hanging elements (7), the support parts of which lamp form the electric conductors at the same time. This enables a filigree-type design if thin or possibly springy wires are used. <IMAGE>
