Inventor: MORTENSEN FINN
IPC: B27B33/08
Filed: 1996-04-15
Abstract: The invention relates to a rotating cutter unit for a hedge cutter of the type that is used in particular for trimming live hedges (field hedges) and similar serial plantings, where the trimming is performed with a rapidly rotating cutter unit in the form of a beater disc or circular saw blade.  The actual hedge trimmer is usually tractor-mounted and hydraulically driven from the hydraulic power take-off of the tractor. The cutter unit comprises a circular steel disc, the toothing of which consists of a replaceable chain-saw chain, which is fitted along the periphery with saw teeth facing radially outwards.  A standard type of chain-saw chain is used, which by virtue of mass production can be purchased at relatively low cost. When the saw teeth of the chain are worn, a new chain can be quickly fitted and the work can continue.  That is to say it is possible to work with teeth of optimum sharpness throughout the working day.  The saw teeth can naturally be reground and reused.  The cutter unit is characterised in that it is very easy and cheap to maintain, and because the cutting geometry of the saw teeth is ideally suited to the purpose the trimming efficiency is maximised. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1993-02-27
Granted: 1999-07-31
Abstract: Absorbent article such as disposable diapers, incontinent briefs, diaper holders and the like, that have improved dynamic fit as well as containment characteristics. The elastic waist feature preferably comprises an interconnecting panel zone, a first flexural hinge zone joining the interconnecting panel zone with the containment assembly, an elasticized waistband, and a second flexural hinge zone joining the elasticized waistband with the interconnecting panel zone. The elasticized waistband comprises a shaping panel zone; a waistline panel zone; and a predisposed, resilient, waistband flexural hinge zone joining the shaping panel zone and the waistline panel zone. The waistband flexural hinge zone is predisposed to allow the panel zones to flexurally bend about a defined axis or zone and is resilient to provide a restoring force/moment that returns the panel zones to their preceeding in-use configuration, especially when the elasticized waistband has been pretensioned by a closure system. The closure system dynamically creates/maintains lateral tension through the elasticized waistband thereby allowing the elasticized waistband to more dynamically expand and contract with the motions of the wearer. The absorbent article additionally preferably comprises a pair of elasticized side panels disposed in the second waist region. The elasticized side panels preferably comprise a "zero strain" stretch laminate and an extension panel. The present invention also relates to alternative waist features comprising "an expansive tummy panel" elasticized waistband. The absorbent core comprises an acquisition/distribution core of chemically stiffened fibers and a storage core.

Title: Improvements relating to clutch mechanism for the drive of fluid compressors
IPC: F16D25/0635
Filed: 1941-01-06
Abstract: 546,343. Air compressors. WESTING- HOUSE BRAKE & SIGNAL CO., Ltd., KERSHAW A. G., and SIMMONS, A. W. Jan. 6 1941. No. 181. [Class 8 (i)] [Also in Group XXIV] In driving means for compressors in which clutch means is uncoupled when a predetermined pressure is attained in the compressed fluid reservoir the belt or chain pulley or its equivalent is rotatably mounted on the body of the compressor co-axial with the compressor shaft so that the latter is free from lateral strain during operation. As shown the driving pulley 11 is mounted' on an extension 5 of the compressor casing 1 and carries a slidably supported clutch plate 15. The compressor crankshaft 4 passes through the extension 5 and has a driving disc 18. Secured to the latter is a carrier 19 having a spring-urged pressure plate 22. Release levers 26 pivoted to the carrier 19 engage the pressure plate 22 and at the inner ends 28 they form a composite cup. Surrounding the clutch is a casing 29 fixed to the compressor casing 1 and having a cylinder 31 within which is a piston 32 with piston rod 33. The end of the latter carries a ball 36 for engagement with the composite cup on the levers 26. A governor associated with the compressor normally acts to connect the cylinder 31 to atmosphere. The piston 32 under the action of a spring 34 is thus held in a position in which the ball 36 is clear of the levers 26. Under this condition the friction plate 15 is clamped by the pressure of the springs 24 between the disc 18 and pressure plate 22 and the compressor shaft is rotated. When a predetermined pressure is attained in the fluid pressure reservoir the governor acts to pass fluid pressure into the cylinder 31, whereupon the piston is moved, the ball 36 engages the levers 26, and the clutch is disengaged.

Abstract: 989,251. Abrasive tools. FELDMUHLE A.G. Jan. 8, 1962 [Jan. 7, 1961], No. 709/62. Heading B3D. An abrasive tool having a working portion, of diamond particles embedded in a metallic bond, on a metallic support is made by applying to the support two or more superposed layers of lacquer containing pulverulent titanium and/or zirconium, all of which layers except the outermost layer have diamond particles incorporated therein, applying the metallic bond to the outermost layer, degassing the layers, and heating the layers under reduced pressure to a temperature above the melting point of the metallic bond. A layer of pulverulent titanium and/or zirconium, distributed in a lacquer, is applied to a steel or other metallic support. Before the lacquer completely dries out, diamond particles are applied to form a layer 0.2 to 0.3 mm. thick. With very fine particle sizes the diamond particles are incorporated in the lacquer. A further layer of pulverulent titanium and/or zirconium in lacquer is then applied. After drying, a soldering foil of a copper or other alloy or a soldering material in powder form is applied. After degassing at 10<SP>-3</SP> to 10<SP>-5</SP> mm. of mercury, the assembly is heated in a high-vacuum furnace to just above the melting point of the solder. The process may be repeated so as to increase the thickness of the diamond particle layer. Where a dense layer of diamond particles is not required, the diamond particles are diluted by other particles, preferably abrasive, e.g. silicon carbide, boron carbide or corundum. A 50-50 mixture is preferably used.

Abstract: 1482304 Monitoring for pipe-line leaks SOC NATIONALE DES GAZ DU SUD OUEST 8 Jan 1975 [8 Jan 1974] 814/75 Heading G1N Apparatus for detecting a leak in a pipe-line section 2, Fig. 1, comprises a pressure transducer 9 connected intermittently to a memory device 12 and continuously to a comparator 10 whereby the rate of fall in pressure is sensed and used to isolate the pipe-line section 2 by cut-off valve 1. The pressure difference signal from comparator 10 is compared at 18 with a reference value to produce an output signal when the latter is exceeded, which triggers a first monostable circuit 19 to produce a pulse output of width T 1 . This pulse is fed to a relay 11, which causes the signal in memory device 12 to be replaced by the new instantaneous pressure signal, and is also fed to a second monostable 21, where its trailing edge produces a second pulse To, longer than T 1 . If the rate of fall in pressure is greater than a pre-set value, a further pulse T  1  is similarly produced by monostable 19 before pulse To has ended. This condition is sensed by AND gate 20, which then triggers a third monostable 22 whose output pulse T2 energizes the solenoid 3 for cut-off valve 1. The unit 13 contains circuitry for cancelling the difference signal from comparator 10 produced by a rise in pressure in the pipe-line.

Title: Process and device for the manufacture of artificial threads according to the bobbinprocess
IPC: B65H54/28
Filed: 1928-01-10
Abstract: 297,618. Sindl, O. Nov. 15, 1927, [Convention date]. Apparatus for making filaments. - Artificial threads manufactured by the bobbin process are completely washed and freed from acid on leaving the coagulating bath by winding on a bobbin, which revolves alternately within and without a washing bath, in such a manner that the precipitating liquid carried away with the thread is diluted in the washing bath and the diluted liquid withdrawn in the bobbin subsequently thrown off outside the bath. The jet of spinning solution emerging from nozzle D, passes through the precipitation bath F and the thread after passing through guide eyelet o is wound on the bobbin B, which revolves round the vertical axis A, driven by the gear train T, and simultaneously executes an up and down movement imparted by the cam and roller arrangement E. When the bobbin is immersed in the washing bath W, the precipitating liquid carried by the thread is diluted and the diluted liquid adhering, when the bobbin emerges from the bath, is thrown off as a result of the centrifugal force exerted on the revolving bobbin. The liquid thrown off is prevented from flowing back into the washing bath W, by covering the latter with a circular plate P and the operators are protected by the removable cylindrical cover Z. The liquid flowing off this cylinder and plate P is removed by means of the gutter R. The guiding cylinder L in the vessel G enables a portion of the washing liquid to rotate with the bobbin and prevents the threads from being damaged by a too violent whirling motion.
