Title: Fabrication of time piece hand - with method of facetting hand on circular support
IPC: G04D3/00
Filed: 1972-08-28
Abstract: The fabrication method is for a time piece hand with a longitudinal facet. The needle (3) to be machined is placed on a curvilinear surface (12) so as to arch or bend the needle longitudinally. The facet is then cut by machining with a cutting tool (13), by rotation of one of the two elements needle and tool, with respect to the other. The needle may be fixed to the curved surface by adhesive. By the aid of a countersink device a radius corresponding to the radius of the outline of the needle, it is possible to cut several facets at once.

Title: Molten salt electrolysis of nuclear waste including filtering
Inventor: KONDO NARUHITO
IPC: C22B60/02
Filed: 1999-09-09
Abstract: A waste treatment apparatus treats radioactive contaminated waste from a nuclear fuel material handling facility to decontaminate the radioactive contaminated waste by using an electrolytic molten salt, and reuses the electrolytic molten salt so that any effluents are not produced. Radioactive contaminated waste (10) from a nuclear fuel material handling facility is subjected to electrolysis by a molten salt electrolysis unit (20) to decontaminate the waste (10). The used salt (16) used for decontaminating the waste (10) is filtered to separate nuclear fuel materials (19) from the used salt (16). The filtered salt (18) is reused by the molten salt electrolysis unit (20). The salt adhering to the decontaminated waste (12) is recovered by an evaporating unit (59), and the recovered salt (15) is reused by the molten salt electrolysis unit (20).

Title: Electric motor with injection-moulded insulation, particularly for hand machine tools
Inventor: BERGER GEUNTHER
IPC: H02K15/02
Filed: 2000-12-19
Abstract: An electric motor, in particular for hand machine tools, has a rotor comprising a laminated core 11 wit slots 12 (fig.4) for holding a winding. The rotor laminations are assembled by stamping; beads 15 (figs.4,7) hold the core 11 together. In order to increase the stability of the laminated core 11, longitudinal bores 24 (fig.7) are provided through the core. The bores 24 are completely filled with plastics material during an injection moulding process. The injection moulding process also forms slot liners 22 (fig.4) in slots 12, core end layers 13, and rotor shaft 17 comprising shaft stubs 171 and 172, from plastics material. Slot liners 22 (fig.4) are formed integrally with slot seals 21 which are in the form of closeable flaps. Steel journals 18 and 19 may be placed in the injection mould and thus also enveloped by the plastics material during moulding. Journals 18 and 19 may extend as far as laminated core 11, being fixed by toothed anchor discs 26 (fig.5) embedded in the end layers 13 of plastics material. Instead of a steel insert part, a journal of plastics 191 may be moulded from plastics material in one piece with shaft stub 172. Also disclosed is a fan 28 (fig.5) mounted on a shaft stub and a commutator 29 mounted on a journal. Production of the rotor is greatly simplified and the construction reliably prevents the appearance of an electrical potential on the outside of the tool if a fault occurs.
