Patent EP-0806504-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KREMER HUBERT
IPC: D02H1/00
Filed: 1997-04-29
Abstract: A central actuator for thread clamps belonging to a creel of reels has, for each row of reels, positioning rods (50) capable of vertical displacement on which, for each thread clamp (14), a control ramp (49) is formed to shift a spring-loaded bolt (31) which sets the clamp in an open or a clamping position. With each positioning rod is associated a vertically driven shifting lever (51) which acts on the rod to allow it to rest in a first position corresponding to the clamp open setting from which it can be shifted into a second position corresponding to the clamping position. The shifting lever acts on an adjusting part (60) which can be smoothly adjusted and fixed vertically on the rod while a stop (57) can be similarly set on the rod so that the spring-loaded bolt rests on the ramp in a position to support the clamp in its second or clamping position.

Inventor: HIDAI YOSHIHIRO
IPC: H01L31/055
Filed: 1997-01-21
Abstract: The present invention provides a solar-battery-mounted
display structure which comprises a solar battery (16)
having a light-receiving surface (16a) disposed in a
displaying portion, a light-transmissive plate (17) disposed
on the front side of the light-receiving surface and having
a predetermined light-transmittance, and an coating layer
(20) formed on the back surface of the light-transmissive
plate such that the solar battery can securely generate at
least a predetermined amount of electric power. Since an
coating layer is formed on the back surface of the light-transmissive
plate, no coating layer is necessary on the
light-receiving surface of the solar battery. Due to this,
consideration of suitability of such a coating layer to the
light-receiving surface is not required, and discarding or
exchange of the solar battery due to defects in such a
coating layer is not required. Moreover, since the coating
layer is formed on the back surface of the light-transmissive
plate, the incident plane of extrinsic light
equals the smooth adhering surface of the coating layer onto
the light-transmissive plate. Accordingly, the amount of
reflected light or scattered light derived from extrinsic
incident light can be reduced, and therefore, the efficiency
of utilizing extrinsic light can be improved. In addition,
generation of interference fringes (Newton rings) can be 
prevented by the coating layer formed on the back surface of
the light-transmissive plate.

Title: Method of establishing the residual useful life of contacts in switchgear and associated arrangement
Inventor: POHL FRITZ
IPC: H01H1/00
Filed: 1997-01-29
Abstract: In order to establish the residual useful life of earth contacts, it has already been proposed to determine the so-called contact action at the breaker gap as a criterion for replacement in the event of contact erosion and to measure the change in contact action during the switching off stage in order to determine the erosion of the contact tips and convert it into the residual useful life. To that end, with a magnetic drive comprising a yoke, armature and magnet coil, the time taken for the armature to move from the beginning of its movement to the point when the contact starts to open has to be measured. According to the invention, the moment when the armature separates from the yoke of the protective magnetic drive is detected from the voltage at the magnet coil. In this respect, the increase in the magnetic resistance of the magnetic circuit when the armature lifts off is determined. The associated arrangement comprises an evaluation device for determining and displaying the residual useful life, said evaluation device (100) having means (110 - 150) for determining and detecting the voltage at the magnet coil (5).

Abstract: The system of the invention is based on a mechanism comprised
of a mechanical brake of the charge actuating as a brake in both rotation
directions and automatically, thereby being independent of the magnitude
and direction of the resulting torque of cabin-counterweight (charge
torque). The mechanism comprises a toothed motor plate (5) which is
set in motion by a gear (4) integral with the input shaft (3); said driving
plate (5) is mounted by means of a variable trapezoidal threading to the
threaded shaft (6) or output shaft on which the charge torque actuates.
On said shaft (6) are mounted collaterally to the drive plate (5) two
other charge plates (8); two brake discs (10) assisted by a unidirectional
mechanism are arranged between the two charge plates (8). As a function
of the direction of the charge torque adopted by the output shaft (6),
the active brake will be either the left side or the right side, the other
remaining inactive.
