Abstract: A layer of a neat resin in powder form is deposited either on a mold surface or on a bulk thermoplastic composite fiber reinforced sheet. The resin layer is adjacent to an insulated wall of a compression mold. The bulk sheet is preheated and compression deformed with the powdered resin. The heat from the sheet flows to and melts the powder layer producing a resin rich layer. The insulated wall permits the heat of the sheet to be retained sufficiently to melt the powdered resin. In the alternative, the neat resin powder may be replaced with a preformed film of thermoplastic resin compatible with the sheet resin. A structural homogeneous integral molecular bond is formed between the neat resin layer and the sheet.

Abstract: A short inking unit is known which has a dipping roller which dips into an ink fountain, an application roller which inks the printing forme, and a screen roller which transfers the ink from the dipping roller to the application roller. In this short inking unit, the doctor blade of a scraper device rests against the screen roller. For the purpose of avoiding scraper smears, the scraper device can also be constructed to alternate in the axial direction. The disadvantage is that in this known inking unit ink passes between the screen roller and the doctor blade when the ink is scraped off, which leads to an accumulation of ink  on the rear side of the doctor blade. It is a disadvantage that the known inking unit has no device for preventing the accumulation of ink. The short inking unit according to the invention is a short inking unit with a screen roller which is displaceable in the axial direction. In this manner, ink is prevented from accumulating on the rear side of the doctor blade device, even in the case of alternating doctor blades. The invention can be used in all short inking units with a screen roller. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A switching mechanism for use e.g. in a circuit breaker of an underground electric substation has a movable rod (10a) which causes opening and closing of an electrical contact (5, 6) and a hydraulic operating system (9, 11, 12, 13, 14). The hydraulic operating system (9, 11, 12, 13, 14) uses a hydraulic fluid which has a high flammability temperature or is incombustible. Thus, even if such fluid leaks from the hydraulic operating system (9, 11, 12, 13, 14), the risk of fire or explosion is minimised. The hydraulic operating system (9, 11, 12, 13, 14) may have a sealed tank (15) for the fluid, preferably with a variable volume expansion chamber (24). In a further development, the hydraulic operating system (9, 11, 12, 13, 14), and possibly parts of the movable rod (10a), is enclosed in a casing (39, 44) which is sealed and is filled with a gas which does not support combustion therein. Thus, the risk of fire or explosion is further reduced. The casing (39) may have a variable volume expansion chamber (51).
