Patent HU-T68726-A (HU)
Title: Method of brazing metal surfaces and mixture of covering these surfaces
Inventor: TIMSIT ROLAND SION
IPC: B23K35/363
Filed: 1992-01-24
Abstract: A novel method is described for joining aluminum to metal surfaces by brazing. The method comprises (a) applying as a coating to at least one of the metal surfaces to be joined a mixture of a metal (e.g. Si, Cu or Ge) and a brazing flux, the metal of the mixture being adapted to form a brazable eutectic with one or both of the surface metals, (b) heating the surfaces and the coating in juxtaposed relation to a temperature above the brazing alloy melting point to thereby dissolve oxide film on the surfaces to be joined, cause the metal of the coating to dissolve into the oxide-free aluminum surface and form therewith a brazing alloy layer and form a brazed assembly and (c) cooling the brazed assembly to form a solidified joint between the surfaces. This has the advantage of providing for the joining of metal surfaces, such as aluminum, to aluminium, cooper, brass or steel surfaces, by brazing without the prior formation of a brazing alloy cladding on the surfaces to be brazed.

Patent IL-74953-A (IL)
Title: Clasp with interchangeable ornament
IPC: A44C11/02
Filed: 1985-04-17
Abstract: A clasp with an interchangeable ornament includes a generally solid male clasp piece which is split longitudinally in a manner that it is transversely resilient, like a clip. A hollow female clasp piece has an insertion opening and an inwardly indented shoulder or lip at the insertion opening. When the male clasp piece is inserted into the female piece the shoulder of the female piece locks into a groove formed in the male clasp piece. Longitudinally extending slits in the peripheral wall of the female piece makes it transversely elastic and enables it to tightly hold an interchangeable ornamental sleeve that is fitted over the female piece. The ornamental sleeve in turn prevents the slit peripheral wall of the female piece from separating and assures that the inwardly indented shoulder remains locked in the groove of the male piece. Therefore, the male clasp part can not be a pulled out, except by squeezing the male piece to reduce its transverse cross-section to be smaller than the cross-section of the female piece.

Title: Developing device
Inventor: NAKAJO TAMIKO
IPC: G03G15/06
Filed: 1992-01-23
Abstract: PURPOSE:To provide a developing device in which an image carrier is reproduced without adding hard particulates, etc., having a grinding action in developer and by which high image quality is maintained over a long term. CONSTITUTION:Toner T is prevented from being supplied to a developing roller 33 by controlling bias by a bias impressing means 50 in timing when a non image forming area corresponding to an interval between consecutively passing papers on a photosensitive drum 3 is opposed to the roller 33. Thus, a toner feeding amount to the roller 33 is drastically reduced and the roller 33 directly comes in contact with the non image forming area on the photosensitive drum 3 without interposing the toner T. In such a case, the surface of the photosensitive drum 3 is ground by the roller 33, thereby reproducing the photosensitive drum 3.

Title: Production of tire and device therefor
Inventor: OZAWA MITSUO
IPC: B29C35/02
Filed: 1993-01-25
Abstract: PURPOSE:To vulcanize a green tire without forming a protuberance, such as a rubber column, on a tread part of a finished tire by a method wherein air stagnating between each tread mold and an outer peripheral surface of a green tire is discharged outside only from a gap between split molds adjacent to each other in a circumferential direction. CONSTITUTION:A vulcanizer 10 discharges air stagnating between each split mold 22 and the outer peripheral surface of a green tire only from a seam 32 between the split molds 22 in a vulcanizing process. In this manner, there is no need for providing a vent hole, that has been provided in a conventional vulcanizer for discharging air stagnating in a tread mold. Therefore, air is discharged only from the seam 32 between the split molds 22. In this manner, a rubber column that has been formed by the vent hole in a prior art is never formed on a surface of a finished tire. Thus, an operation for nipping a rubber column off a finished tire is not needed, whereby a tire production efficiency is enhanced to a great extent.
