Abstract: The invention relates to an allergy test chamber comprising at least one inlet for supplying allergen-free air, especially fresh air, into the chamber. Said chamber is characterised in that the at least one inlet (23) for allergen-free air is provided with an air flow distribution device (26, 27), and in that the allergy test chamber (20) also comprises at least one inlet (25) for allergen test particles, such as plant pollen or mite faeces, and at least one outlet (24) for removing air loaded with allergen test particles from the chamber by means of suction. Said outlet (24) is arranged at a distance from the inlets (23, 25) for allergen-free air and allergen test particles. Said air movement principle i.e. introducing air into the chamber, mixing it with a defined quantity of allergens, and removing by suction the allergen-loaded air to another area of the chamber, enables uniformity of the distribution of the allergen particles in the test chamber to be significantly improved, compared with known allergy test chambers wherein allergen-loaded air is circulated in the test chamber.

Abstract: Two or more metal sheets (1, 2), at least one of
which has a protective layer made of material having a
low vaporization temperature, are welded to each other
by means of a laser beam after that a gap (G 1 ) has been
provided between the sheets to enable the vapours of
the protective material which are created during
welding to escape. The gap (G 1 ) is obtained by
exploiting the elastic return of one of the sheets
starting from an elastically deformed condition in
which this sheet is brought following the engagements
of the device (5) which is used to clamp the sheets (1,
2) with each other during welding. In a first stage,
the clamping device (5) is closed to bring the sheets
in complete contact with each other, by causing the
above-mentioned elastic deformation of one of the
sheets, in a second stage, the clamping device is
opened again by a limited extent, until a predetermined
position is reached, so as to define a gap (G 1 ) between
the sheets having substantially predetermined
dimensions.
