Filed: 1993-06-28
Abstract: An image forming apparatus having means for separating a transfer medium bearing member (5) from an image bearing member (1), which can change fixing speed according to the kinds of the transfer medium employed. As the transfer medium is borne and conveyed to a fixing device (8) by the transfer medium baring member which is separated from the image bearing member, the unfixed toner images are not disturbed by or re-transferred onto the image bearing member and a long conveyed belt is not needed. When the same drive source rotates the transfer medium bearing member (5) and the image bearing member (1), the apparatus can be further miniaturized.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une soupape d'inversion (101) hydraulique pour le système de frein d'un véhicule automobile équipé d'un système d'antiblocage et d'antipatinage à l'accélération et fonctionnant, dans le cas du système d'antiblocage, selon le principe de la remise en circulation du fluide et dont la pompe à autoamorçage aspire le fluide sous pression par l'intermédiaire du maître-cylindre, dans le cas du système d'antipatinage à l'accélération. La soupape d'inversion (101) se trouve dans la tubulure d'aspiration, entre la pompe et le maître-cylindre et ferme la communication à chaque freinage induit par l'actionnement de la pédale de frein et l'ouvre à chaque régulation d'antipatinage à l'accélération. Afin d'éviter que des effets négatifs ne soient ressentis au niveau du contact avec la pédale de frein, des points d'étranglement (134, 136) sont utilisés pour prolonger le temps de fermeture de la soupage d'inversion (101) de manière que le volume de fluide produit par l'inversion soit absorbé progressivement et de façon continue. Le conducteur ne ressent plus d'effet au niveau de la pédale de frein. La position d'inversion est avantageusement déterminée par une membrane dont la surface active dépend de sa courbure. Ladite membrane présente l'avantage de ne pas générer de saccades.

IPC: B63H11/02
Filed: 1994-09-16
Abstract: The increase in the speed of watercraft requires overproportional propulsive outputs, since the frictional force of the water increases exponentially with the speed. Known methods attempt to circumvent these facts by reducing the wetted area (hydrofoil) or utilizing the lower frictional force of the air (hovercraft), which, however, is only partly successful with complicated special constructions, which in addition are sensitive to a swell. The method according to the invention and an arrangement for carrying it out are intended to prevent the overproportional increase in the water friction while maintaining to the greatest possible extent the hull shape typical of skimmers. The kinetic energy of the output thrust jet of water jet propulsion, by injection of air according to the Venturi principle, is used to substantially reduce the frictional force exerted on the planing bottom 1 by the oncoming water 2. At least one device 3, arranged in or on a planing bottom 1, for carrying out the method is provided with a nozzle 9 from which jet water 15 discharges which draws in air fed to the nozzle orifice 11 through openings 6 in the planing bottom 1 and forces a friction-reducing air/water mixture 16 between oncoming water 2 and planing bottom 1. The jet water 15 can at the same time deliver the thrust for the propulsion of the watercraft. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed is an automatic lathe comprising a pair of gang tool posts (comb-shaped tool posts) (5, 7) disposed on opposite sides with a headstock (1) in between. The headstock (1) has a main spindle and is movable in an axial direction of the main spindle, and the pair of gang tool posts (5, 7) are independently movable in respective two directions perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the axial direction. This design can shorten the machining time and improve the productivity accordingly. To prevent interference of work tools due to the attachment structure in machining a small workpiece, pitches between work tools on one of the gang tool posts (102L; 120L; 130L) may differ from pitches between work tools on the other gang tool post (102R; 120R; 130R) in such a way that when the free-end position of an arbitrary work tool of one of the gang tool posts (102L; 120L; 130L) is aligned with that of an arbitrary work tool of the other gang tool post (102R; 120R; 130R), free-end positions of the other work tools of the former gang tool post (102L; 120L; 130L) mutually differ from those of the other work tools of the other gang tool post (102R; 120R; 130R). To ensure simultaneous machining of the front face of one workpiece and the back face of another workpiece respectively using front and rear work tools without requiring high level of parts and assembly accuracy or an expensive positioning mechanism, the front work tools (281a, 281b, 281c) may be mounted on a rear headstock (5) and the rear work tools (283a, 283b, 283c) are mounted on one (211) of the pair of gang tool posts (211, 213).

Abstract: The purpose of the nitriding process is to impart to articles made of ferrous metal, besides the surface properties resulting directly from the nitriding, a corrosion resistance comparable to that which is obtained by following the nitriding treatment with an oxidation treatment, especially in salt baths. According to the process of the invention the articles are treated by immersion for an appropriate period in a molten salt bath consisting in a manner known per se essentially of alkali metal cyanates and carbonates and containing a small quantity of a sulphur-containing species, the articles are raised, in relation to a counterelectrode immersed in the bath, to a positive potential such that a substantial current passes through the bath from the articles to the counterelectrode, and the content of cyanides formed in a secondary reaction is maintained at a value lower than 6 %. It is preferable to work at a constant average current; typical current densities are from 300 to 800 amperes per m<2>, the typical range of temperatures 450-650 DEG C, and the typical times range between 10 and 150 min.

Abstract: A system for reducing packing ring spin and opening up of the joints formed by the ends of a packing ring during break-in of trapezoidally-shaped mechanical braided packing (10) involves utilization of additional warp yarns (72) within the sides of the packing. These additional warp yarns (72) bulge the packing at the sides of the packing above its horizontal centerline such that the outer portion of the packing is provided with a solid rectangular cross section. The solid section increases frictional contact between the rings (10) and the stuffing box and between the rings (10) themselves to eliminate packing ring spin. When the packing is wrapped around a shaft (40) the bulging sides become flat for secure elongated anti-spin contact both between the packing rings (10) and between the end ring (58) and the bottom (52) of the stuffing box.
