Title: Model gun with automatic bullet supplying mechanism
Inventor: KUNIMOTO KEIICHI
IPC: F41B11/56
Filed: 1998-12-08
Granted: 2001-08-07
Abstract: A model gun with automatic bullet supplying mechanism, which comprises a slider provided to be movable along a barrel and a movable member provided between a bullet holding chamber and a pressure receiving portion to be movable along moving directions of the slider. A first gas guiding passage for guiding gas supplied through a gas leading passage from a pressure accumulating chamber to the bullet holding chamber and a second gas guiding passage for guiding the gas supplied through the gas leading passage from the pressure accumulating chamber to the pressure receiving portion are provided in the movable member to be coupled with each other and, during a period in which the gas leading passage is opened by a movable valve, the movable member is operative to cause gas pressure to act on a sham bullet in the bullet holding chamber so as to move the sham bullet forward from the bullet holding chamber and, after the sham bullet has moved forward from the bullet holding chamber, to cause gas pressure to pass through the first gas guiding passage and simultaneously to act on the pressure receiving portion so as to move the pressure receiving portion back with the slider, in accordance with the difference in resistance against gas flow between the first and second gas guiding passages, and further to move back together with the slider for making preparations for supplying the bullet holding chamber with a sham bullet from a magazine.

Abstract: A window construction for vehicles such as motor coaches is disclosed which includes a window panel that overlaps on the exterior of the vehicle body at least one of the edge portions defining the window opening. In particular, the window includes a window panel which is mounted to the vehicle body and on the exterior thereof at least partly covers the edges of the vehicle body which define the window opening, especially the window jams. Mounting the window panel flush with an exterior surface of the vehicle body facilitates insulation and sealing of the window and allows placement of draft seals between the exterior surface of the vehicle body and the panel so that they do not protrude into the window opening. The hardware used to fasten the window panel to the vehicle body is affixed to the panel in a marginal portion which extends beyond the window opening so that the hardware does not protrude substantially into the window opening and into the field of view. The window panel includes a central portion for substantially covering the window opening and a marginal portion integral with and extending outwardly from the central portion for covering at least one of the edge portions defining the window opening, preferably at least one of the window jams. When the vehicle includes two or more adjacent windows separated by a post, generally the respective window jams, the marginal portions of the window panels for the adjacent openings cooperatively cover an outside surface of the post. With this construction, the panels provide a smooth substantially continuous outer surface uninterrupted by window jams or posts. This not only provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance from the outside of the vehicle, but also facilitates cleaning of the vehicle and reduces wind noise.

Abstract: Procédé et appareil d'assistance de composition en vocal utilisant un modèle de comportement d'appel d'un individu qui permet d'améliorer le système de reconnaissance d'un nom introduit vocalement correspondant à un numéro de téléphone désiré. Lorsque la personne décroche le combiné, une activité est déclenchée dans un modèle neuromimétique du comportement d'appel de la personne, ce modèle neuromimétique prévoyant que différents numéros seront vraisemblablement appelés, et donnant des valeurs prédictives telles que le jour de la semaine et l'heure du jour. On construit le modèle en entraînant l'ordinateur neuromimétique avec les données issues de l'historique d'envoi et de réception d'appels de l'utilisateur. La sortie auditive d'un système de reconnaissance vocale automatique et la sortie du modèle utilisateur sont intégrées de façon à sélectionner le numéro qui doit être très probablement le numéro désiré par le locuteur. Le système peut également assurer une assistance-annuaire automatique en prononçant le numéro à haute voix plutôt qu'en le composant. Selon une version de l'invention, le système représente un annuaire personnel d'un individu, maintenu sur cet ordinateur personnel. Selon une autre version, le système sert d'annuaire pour un site physique ou virtuel donné, des informations, concernant l'organisation institutionnelle du site ajoutées à des historiques d'appels d'individus, étant utilisées pour suivre des modes d'appels et établir des prévisions d'appels vraisemblables dans le site.

Abstract: A self-closing valve for a packaging container, especially a thin-walled plastics bottle, has an outwardly concave valve head (22) joined to an outer margin (20) by a flexible connecting wall (24). The connecting wall has a frustoconical outer portion (56) and a cylindrical inner portion (57) joined together at an elbow (58). The inner portion (50) is joined to the valve head at a thin, inturned flange (60). The outer portion (56) of the connecting wall is frustoconical and moves between downwardly inclined and upwardly inclined positions as the valve advances to its dispensing position. It accordingly imparts a bistable operating characteristic to the valve. The elbow of the connecting wall acts as a spring to retract the valve head quickly after dispensing. Th e flange (60) acts as a living hinge, with substantially no flexural stiffness, so that subsequent deformation of the valve head to allow venting is not resisted.

Abstract: A description is given of an encapsulation for the connection end or the termination end of a strip heater cable (20) which in the core (21 - 24) has a plurality of electric conductors (21, 24), and over the core has an insulating outer sheath (25) made from a thermoplastic fluoropolymer material. The encapsulation (10) comprises a moulded part (30) which consists of the same fluoropolymer material as the strip heater outer sheath (25). The moulded part (30) holds an end section of the strip heater core and is welded to the strip heater outer sheath (25) such that together with the latter it surrounds the connection end or the termination end in a hermetically tight fashion. The encapsulation according to the invention is distinguished by a high heat resistance and good mechanical stability. It is therefore suitable, in particular for applications in a rugged environment and, if required, also in an environment which poses stringent requirements on safety.
