Patent EP-0232485-B1 (EP)
IPC: F16B13/06
Filed: 1986-11-22
Granted: 1991-04-17
Abstract: A dowel-like device is described for locating a component (1) having a through-bore (33) relative to a reference part (2) provided with a bore (34), the through-bore and the bore having the same inside width. In order for the dowel to permit an accurate, repeatable positioning of the component on the reference part without loss of precision, it is provided with a cylindrical bushing (3), which is elastic in a radial direction at least over part of its length and is internally conical. A rotatable bolt (9) extending axially into the conical bushing section (4) is locked against movement in the axial direction and cooperates with a cone member (7) which extends into the conical bushing section, so that upon rotation of the bolt, the cone member moves axially, causing its exterior surface to push outwardly against the bushing. This expands the bushing into firm contact with the wall of the bores in the component and the reference part.

Abstract: A slurry tanker 1 has a housing 2 which is divided by an upright internal partition 3 into a forward tank portion 4 and rear tank portion 5. The partition 3 is sealed to the walls of the housing 2, apart from an aperture 6 at the bottom of the partition 3. The forward tank portion 4 has a one-way ball valve 8. In use, the valve 8 allows air to be exhausted from the forward tank portion 4, as the tanker 1 is filled with slurry. However, as the tanker 1 is emptied, the valve 8 prevents air entering the forward tank portion 4. Thus, the rear tank portion 5 is substantially emptied before the forward tank portion 4 begins to be emptied. In this way, the weight of slurry tends to be maintained at the forward end of the tanker 1, especially when part-full. This can be especially advantageous where the tanker 1 is a trailer. The invention applies both to vacuum and non-vacuum tankers.

Abstract: The present invention provides a disposable absorbent article such as an incontinent pad that is both comfortable and suitable for absorbing and containing large volumes of body liquids rapidly without leakage, especially a subsequent gush of liquid. Such an absorbent article comprises a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious backsheet, a layered expandable absorbent core positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet, at least two resilient shaping members, an acquisition channel, a liquid acquisition zone and at least two liquid impervious shelves. The present invention also relates to an absorbent article provided with an expandable overwrap having an expansion means for allowing the overwrap to expand when the absorbent core swells when wetted. The liquid impervious shelves comprise a multiplicity of shelf layers formed from a portion of the backsheet being folded. The liquid impervious shelves channel the flow of liquids toward the lower layers of the absorbent core and encourage use of the bottom and sides of the layers, thereby providing more efficient use of hydrogel materials. An anti-bunching bead may be placed on each liquid impervious shelf between the shelf layers to provide stability to the absorbent article.

Filed: 1987-03-10
Granted: 1991-07-24
Abstract: The vane of the impeller in a high-speed or mixed-flow centrifugal pump for the conveying of liquids which contain high or low concentrations of strands or strips of vegetable, plastic or other material has a convex inlet edge whose curvature increases gradually in a direction radially outwardly from the axis of rotation at such a rate that the resultant of the centrifugal force and the resistance encountered by a strip or strand at a particular point of the inlet edge is invariably tangential to the respective point of the inlet edge. This ensures that the strips or strands do not overlie and circulate with the inlet edge but are entrained by the resultant force to become separated from the vane. The stagnation paint of the vane in a region which is remote from the axis of rotation is disposed at the suction side of the vane; this also contributes to prevention of accumulation of strips or strands along the inlet edge.

Abstract: A waveguide switch with four outputs or inputs (A, B, C, D) normally has one rotor (2) with three passages (3, 4, 5) with which, as appropriate, two waveguide connections can be effected in specific rotor positions. In two switching positions only the central waveguide passage (3) conducts HF signals, whereas in the two other switching positions both curved passages (4, 5) simultaneously conduct HF signals. Whereas the transmission losses in the central passage are low, a very high reflection level has hitherto been obtained in the two curved passages because of the points of inflexion. In order to improve the transmission characteristics, it is proposed to design the curved passages with an elliptical shape. For this, the longitudinal passage (3) is narrowed toward the central point of the rotor, so that sufficient space is provided for the curved portion of the lateral passages. The circular shape of the curved passages (4, 5) can also be approximated by a facet-like shaping of the side-walls. The points of inflexion (8 or 9) thus created result in only insignificant changes in the transmission characteristics.

Abstract: In such an angular-position measuring system for measuring the angular position of two objects that can be rotated relative to one another, a dividing plate (TT1), which is connected to one object, has on its surface (O1) an angle scale (WT1) whose involute-shaped graduation marks (TS1) proceed from a basic circle (GK1) centred at the midpoint (M1) of the dividing plate (TT1). This involute-shaped angle scale (WT1) is scanned in two diametrically mutually opposing angle scale ranges (WB1a, WB1b) by a scanning device connected to the other object. The scanning device has a semiconductor laser, four deflecting mirrors (US1a-US1d), two linear scales (LT1a, LT1b), and a photoelement. The measured values for the relative angular position of the two objects are determined from the periodic scanning signal delivered by the photoelement. Since the graduation marks (TS1) of the involute-shaped angle scale (WT1) do not fan out, measurement inaccuracies are avoided. <IMAGE>
