Abstract: A probe duct (1) which can be used in endoscope techniques is described, this duct being made of a flexible material for the purpose of leading through flexible auxiliary instruments, for example forceps, electrodes or the like, and for the purpose of delivering and removing a flushing liquid. The probe duct (1) is designed as a tube (2) with a smooth inner wall surface (3), and the outer circumferential surface (5) has a structuring (10) which is made up of a plurality of essentially radial support beads situated at a distance from one another. The ratio between areas of greatest and smallest wall thickness is approximately 2:1, and the bead distribution corresponds to approximately twice the greatest wall thickness.

Abstract: Depending on the operating conditions, the wort leaving a lauter tun or a mash filter can have high solids contents. However, high solids contents lead to increased iodine numbers and increased fatty acid contents. As a result, the taste stability of the beer deteriorates. The novel apparatus and the novel process are to provide worts of low sludge content by simple modification of the existing plant. For separating sludge and wort, the lauter tun is followed by a separator with a lower quietened zone, in which the sludge concentrates, and an upper zone which receives the sludge-free wort, so that the almost sludge-free wort can be taken off at the top of the separator and the sludge can be taken off at the bottom of the separator. Wort production for brewing beer. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Storage containers which can be subdivided by means of removable partitions, in particular storage boxes with partitions which can be pushed into grooves, are known. In order to prevent the partitions from moving, causing mixing of the stored items thus separated from one another, the partitions (2) are provided, according to the invention, with resilient locking devices (3) which engage behind an edge (8) on the side wall of the box (1) in their end position. The locking device can be designed as a spring tongue (3), which is attached laterally to the upper rim of the partition. The spring tongue can engage under an edge from the inside. Advantageously, the arrangement is such that release of the locking from outside, e.g. through a perforation in the wall, is facilitated. It is however also possible to bring the locking device into engagement with the edge of a peripheral rim or of a label support. <IMAGE>

Title: Falzapparat mit Bandgeschwindigkeitssteuerung
Inventor: BRETON RICHARD EDWARD
IPC: B65H45/30

Abstract: Ein Falzapparat (20) umfasst eine erste Bänderanordnung (84), welche Bogenmaterial (30) erfasst und entlang aufeinander zu gerichteter Falztrichter (106,108) bewegt, um es zu falzen. Mit der Verschmälerung des Abstandes zwischen den Falztrichtern erfaßt eine zweite Bänderanordnung (118) das Bogenmaterial und bewegt es zwischen den Falztrichtern fort. Die erste Bänderanordnung umfaßt eine erste Anzahl von an einer ersten Seite der Falzlinie angebrachten Bändern und eine zweite Anzahl von an einer zweiten Seite der Falzlinie angebrachten Bändern. Die zweite Bänderserie umfaßt ein Paar Rillbänder (114,116), welche sich aus den Bändern heraus zu dem Einlaßteil des Falzapparats erstrecken. Die Laufgeschwindigkeit der Bänder und Rillbänder wird durch den Einsatz von Geschwindigkeitssignalgebern (252,254,256), welche mit der Laufgeschwindigkeit der Bänder und Rillbänder angetrieben werden, koordiniert. Durch ein Steuergerät werden die Geschwindigkeitssignale verglichen und ein gewünschtes Verhältnis zwischen den Laufgeschwindigkeiten der Bänder und Rillbänder aufrechterhalten. Es wird angenommen, daß die Rillbänder normalerweise mit der gleichen Geschwindigkeit angetrieben werden. Jedoch kann ein Rillband um eine Nuance schneller angetrieben werden als das andere, wenn eine im Bogenmaterial vor seinem Eintritt zwischen die Rillbänder entstandene Verformung auszugleichen ist. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1990-01-02
Abstract: A container for liquids is disclosed, wherein the container (22) has an improved self draining means featuring a radially inclined ramp (36) which slopes downward from the container pouring spout (32) in the radially outward direction. Beneath the drain ramp is an annular channel (46) which receives liquids gravity draining from any azimuthal location on the ramp (36), and routes the liquids to a drain hole (38), returning the liquids to the container reservoir. One or more projections (48) may be disposed within the annular channel (46) to partially block it. This arrangement prevents any plastic shavings or other debris within the channel from migrating or being washed by the draining liquids to a location visible to the user or to the drain hole where such debris may contaminate the contents of the container.

Abstract: To stably control clutch engagement torque of a multidisk friction plate clutch (1045) provided between two rotary members (1029, 1033), without being directly subjected to the influence of friction plate wear or of fluctuations in friction coefficient between two clutch plates, the coupling apparatus comprises a pilot clutch (1061), a main clutch (1045) and dual cam ring members (1053) disposed between the two clutches. When the pilot clutch (1061) is engaged by an actuator (1063) in a first direction, since a first slidable cam ring (1047) rotation is limited by the pilot clutch relative to a second fixed cam ring (1049), the first slidable cam ring (1047) is shifted in a second opposite direction by a cam thrust force to engage the main clutch. The coupling apparatus is suitably incorporated in a differential gear assembly mounted on automotive vehicles in order to controllably and stably limit the differential motion between two shafts.
