Abstract: The flexible rear window of a cabriolet's folding top has a predefined folding area. For reasons of appearance, however, the rear window according to the invention departs from the known state of the art in having a constant thickness of material over its entire area. The folding area is instead defined by a material with a different modulus of elasticity from the surrounding plastic material. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The tool 10 includes a fixture 16 for locating a coaxial cable 11 lengthwise in a predetermined position and for confining the tool 10 to turn about the axis of the cable 11. Pivotally mounted on the fixture 16 is a cutter arm 31 having a pair of spaced blades 40, 42 positioned to cut the cable 11 to two different depths at two axially spaced locations. After the cutter arm 31 has been pivoted downwardly to an active position, the tool 10 is rotated about the axis of the cable 11. As in incident thereto, one blade 40 cuts an outer insulating jacket 15, an outer conductor 14 and an inner insulating sheath 13 away from an inner conductor 12 while the other blade 42 simultaneously cuts the outer insulating jacket 15 away from the outer conductor 14 at an axially spaced location.

Abstract: A disposable, anti-needle strike, anti-drug abuse syringe (1) which reduces the frequency of accidental needle strikes to health care workers and prevents health-threatening reuse of the needle by drug abusers. The syringe (1) has a needle carrying base (6) and an attached hypodermic needle assembly (2) which are relocatable within the syringe cylinder (60) from a distally disposed first position to a proximally disposed second position. A piston assembly (50) having a detachable stem (40) moves reciprocally and axially through the syringe cylinder (60) to expulse fluidic medication and to selectively engage the needle carrying base (6) at the distal bore of the cylinder, whereby to relocate the needle carrying base (6) and its attached needle assembly from the first position to the second position. The needle carrying base is anchored at the second position, such that the used needle (2) extends into and is shielded by the syringe cylinder (6). The stem (40) is then detached from the piston assembly (50) and inserted through the now open orifice at the distal bore of the cylinder. The stem (40) is locked at its final position within the syringe cylinder to create a disposal cartridge with the needle shielded and rendered irretrievable therewithin.

Abstract: The arrangement according to the invention is intended to even-out the energy consumption in that the consumer is constrained as far as possible to delay the consumption of electrical energy until low-load periods. In this arrangement, it should not be necessary to monitor the respective tariff continuously. This object is achieved by the arrangement having an indicating device (6) for the respective tariff in force and by the arrangement being provided with a selector switch (4) for preselecting a tariff, the associated electrical equipment being supplied with voltage only when the preselected tariff or a cheaper tariff is in force. At its simplest, the arrangement is designed in the form of a mobile socket equipment. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method for producing photopositives, in which a photopaper web of unexposed photopaper passes for exposure through a photoprinter, before the photopaper is developed in a developing machine, is to be improved in such a way that the handling of the not yet developed and fixed photopaper is facilitated and made more economical. According to the invention, the photopaper web is handled in a dark room before being introduced into the photoprinter and then introduced therein, protected from the light, directly from this dark room. The device for carrying out the method is characterised in that the photoprinter is located in the area of the dark room and, for introducing the unexposed photopaper and removing the exposed photo- paper, is accessible from the interior of the dark room.

Abstract: An electronic controlled fluid suspension system in which a change in a vehicle attitude is expected in advance by an advance control means responsive to a driving state detected by a driving state detection means, and the current vehicle attitude is feedback-controlled by a feedback control means. The shares of the advance control amount and the feedback control amount are calculated by a share determination means so that final control amount is determined based on the shares. Fluid flow to and from the fluid suspension is controlled by a fluid flow control means in response to the final control amount. In such control system, the advance control and the feedback control are smoothly switched, which results in improved maneuverability and stability of the vehicle.

Abstract: A needleless hypodermic injector has a first sub­stantially cylindrical section (A) and a second substantially cylindrical section (B) movably mounted in a first end of the first section. The first section (A) comprises a hollow cylinder (44) defining a chamber for a substance to be administered, the chamber having therein an externally communicating orifice (55) at a second end of the first sec­tion and a piston (47) slidably mounted in the hollow cylinder. The second section comprises spring means in the form of a coil spring (16) and a plurality of disc springs (17) arranged in an axial row for driving the piston in the first section from a retracted position in which the hollow cylinder contains the substance to be administered to an extended position in which the substance is substantially com­pletely discharged through the orifice from the chamber. A bushing (18) is slidably mounted between the piston (47) and the spring means and is capable of engaging the piston as it travels from the retracted position to the extended posi­tion. Latch means (21,22,23,24) are also provided for locking the bushing and thereby the compressed spring means in the retracted position. With the above arrangement, when the latch means is released from the bushing, the compressed spring means rapidly impacts the bushing against the piston to provide a first, high skin piercing pressure to the substance to be discharged through the orifice and thereafter moves the piston to the extended position at a second, lower discharge pressure. The coil spring remains under substantial compression at the extended position and sufficient disc springs are present to ab­sorb recall energy caused by the piston bushing suddenly reaching the extended position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a supporting wheel (1) for vehicle trailers, which has an outer tube (6) consisting of two parts (7, 8) and an inner tube (5) which is guided adjustably therein and can be extended by means of a spindle (12). The two outer tube parts (7, 8) are screwed to one another (9), the spindle (12) being connected via a friction coupling (8) to the upper tube part (7). The friction coupling (18) has a low moment of friction, which is however larger than a inner moment of friction of the unstressed screw arrangement (9) between the two outer tube parts (7, 8). When the wheel is unstressed, by means of the spindle (12) both the inner tube (5) is moved and also the two outer tube parts (7, 8) are screwed to one another, in which process the lifts are added together. When the wheel is stressed, the friction coupling (18) slips, as a result of which the tube screw arrangement (9) is blocked and only the inner tube (5) can be moved with relatively small manual forces. <IMAGE>
