Abstract: A device for converting a rotary movement into an axial movement is provided in which a spindle (1) with an external profile, a nut (2) which surrounds this spindle, can rotate relative thereto and has an inner profile (20), and suitably profiled roller bodies (3), between the spindle and the nut, are provided. In this case, the roller bodies have two different profiles one of which produces an axial force-fit with respect to the profile on the spindle and the other produces a corresponding axial force-fit with respect to the profile on the inner side (20) of the nut. 
<??>The profile on the inner side (20) of the nut is preferably constructed in the form of relatively coarse grooves, of V-shaped cross-section, while a single-start fine thread is designed on the outer side of the spindle. On the outer circumference of the roller bodies (3) arranged between the spindle and nut there are provided, in alternating sections with respect to each of the coarse grooves, correspondingly coarse grooves (32), matching the inner side of the nut, and in each case a number of finely designed grooves (31) between them, which fine grooves (31) correspond to the single-start fine thread (10) on the spindle.

Date May 19, 1988.A record player in which a magazine is provided with compartments for storing a number of rigid and flexible disk-shaped recording media. For playing the disks, they are removed only to an extent necessary for the disk drive to engage bores of the disk. Each compartment has a bottom with a semi-circular recess at a side of the magazine from which the recording media are removed for being played. This recess has a diameter that is substantially longer than the diameter of the respective disk to be played, so that the disk can rotate freely while being played. Each compartment, furthermore, as a storage recess above the semi-circular recess for storing the disk. To play the disk, the latter is lowered from the storage recess into the semi-circular recess, but the lowering of the disk is such that the disk will not contact the bottom of the semi-circular recess, so as to allow free rotation of the disk within the semi-circular recess.

Granted: 1993-09-01
Abstract: A porous body (6) is introduced in a housing (2), having a lid (3), and a yarn (8) for the application of a medium is passed through the said porous body. The medium is fed to the preparator (1) through a pressure line (5). In order to introduce the yarn (8) the lid (3) of the housing (2) can be opened and the yarn (8) introduced through a slot in the body (6), which is facilitated by open yarn guides (13). Since only the amount of medium which is to be applied to the yarn (8) is conveyed, a return line for any excess medium is superfluous. As a result, contamination of parts of the machine needed to guide the yarn through the preparator (1) is avoided, and the design of the apparatus is simplified. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Each train is equipped with an on-board device for detecting the position of the train with respect to the track and with a transmitter-receive communicating with a central station. The central station has an instantaneous storage of the relative positions of all of the trains in the network, storage of the itineraries of each train, the characteristics of the network related to the speed range, and of the performance of the rolling stock in service. The central station constitutes the organizing unit of the system and comprises a transmission at regular time intervals of messages containing the identification numbers of the trains in circulation which are authorized to follow their route, taking account of position information received from these trains by the central station and of speed range parameters contained in the storage. The device on board each train constitutes an execution unit of the system and recognizes the identification number of the train with which it is associated and controls the stopping of the train in the absence of the identification number in the message which it receives from the central station.

Date Feb. 7, 1991.A medical apparatus to be worn in the mouth comprises a battery-fed measuring unit (15) including a clock generator (18) and a counter (20) for counting the pulses of the clock generator. Accuracy of the time measurement decisively depends on the precision of the oscillating frequency of the clock generator. In the invention, there is used a clock generator (18) wherein frequency precision is low. When the counted value of the counter (20) is read into an external evaluating unit, the measuring unit supplies a reference time required by the clock generator (18) for generating a number of pulses. The evaluating unit calculates the time corresponding to the counted value under consideration of the length of the reference time. Thus, the evaluating unit measures the cycle length of the pulses of the clock generator, and this cycle length is multiplied by the number of the counted clock pulses. In this manner, time measurement is performed in a precise manner without requiring a highly precise clock generator.
