Title: Device for the detachable securing of a cleaning implement to a handle
IPC: B25G3/24
Filed: 1984-03-06
Abstract: 1. Apparatus for the detachable fixing of cleaning implements, e.g. brooms, scrubbers, etc. to a handle (1) by means of a connecting part (11) having two fork-like fixing members (17, 18) under a restoring force and a clamping member (7) rotatably guided between them and by means of which the ends of the fixing members can be braced against the restoring force in recesses of the implement body (3), characterized in that the fixing members form part of a plastic casing (5) injection moulded in one piece and which is fixed by a tubular attachment (11) to handle (1), is widened from the attachment in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the implement body (3) and is provided with a slot (12, 13) in the handle axis open towards the implement body (3), which in spaced manner from the open side has an extension (14) as a pivot bearing for the clamping member (7).

Title: Process and apparatus for the anaerobic biological purification of waste water
IPC: C02F3/10
Filed: 1984-07-05
Abstract: In a process for the anaerobic biological purification of wastewater containing organic pollutants, the wastewater to be purified is conducted through two series-connected reactors (2 and 5) operated under anaerobic conditions. In order to achieve a shortening of the residence time for the wastewater to be purified and thereby a savings in total reactor volume, the pollutants contained in the wastewater, which are present partially in the undissolved, partially in the macromolecular state and are only slowly metabolizable under anaerobic conditions, are retained in the first reactor (2) by means of a filter medium (3) arranged in the first reactor (2). On the other hand, pollutants initially present in the dissolved condition in the wastewater and which are readily degradable by anaerobic microorganisms, are further conducted directly through the first reactor, without substantial conversion, into the second reactor (5) through a connecting conduit (4). In the first reactor (2), the residence time of only the slowly metabolizable pollutants is determined to be sufficient so that the latter are degraded to low-molecular, dissolved fragments. Subsequently, the dissolved fragments are introduced into the second reactor (5) together with the initially rapidly degradable pollutants.
Patent EP-0156009-A3 (EP)
Title: Vehicle wheel
IPC: B60B21/10
Filed: 1984-12-07
Abstract: A vehicle wheel, especially for a truck. The wheel has a rigid rim on which can be mounted a pneumatic tire of rubber or rubber-like material. The carcass of the tire is anchored in the tire beads by being looped around pull-resistant bead cores. The tire beads are disposed on the radially inner periphery of the rim ring. In order to make it particularly easy to mount the tire, the rim seating surfaces for each tire bead extend essentially horizontally in the transverse direction, and extend to the edge of the rim ring. A clamping ring is disposed radially inwardly of the tire bead, with that side of the clamping ring which rests against the bead extending at an angle to the axis of rotation of the wheel. The bead core has a cross-sectional shape which includes sides which extend essentially parallel to the clamping ring and parallel to the rim seating surface.
Patent EP-0138449-A3 (EP)
Title: Apparatus and method for terminating coin sorting
IPC: G07D9/04
Filed: 1984-09-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a coin sorter apparatus for sorting a group of mixed coins (11) by denomination and automatically terminating the sorting process in response to a sensed operating parameter. Sorting is provided by a stationary disc (21) and a rotating disc (19) positioned sufficiently proximate to one another so that when the group of mixed coins (11) are dropped into the centre opening of the stationary disc (21), they are rotated by the rotating disc (19) and guided by the stationary disc (21) on a radially outward spiral sorting path which exits each denomination of the coins at discrete locations (49) along the periphery of the stationary means. As the coins (11) are sorted, a sensing means (69) provides signals indicating the presence of a predetermined condition. A bridge guide (71) and a diverter guide (72), which are part of the stationary disc (21), are responsive to the signals from the sensing means (69) to redirect the radially outward sorting path of the coins (11) to a radially inward path so as to terminate the sorting process. Optionally, a circuit responsive to the sensing means (69) controls the application of power to the motor (37) powering the rotating disc (19) of the sorter apparatus and cuts off that power, when the sorting process is terminated in order to prevent abrasion of the re-circulating coins or damage to the sorter apparatus.

Title: Panel shaped sandwich element for building purposes
IPC: B32B7/08
Filed: 1985-10-15
Abstract: A sheet-like composite element for construction purposes. The longitudinal edges of the composite element is formed by U-shaped profiled edge members having legs that are directed toward one another and serve as supports for an inner and an outer cover layer, between which is disposed a core layer of hard foam. The edge members function as support elements, and have a cross-sectional area that conforms to the respective stress of the composite element. The hard foam core layer, which fills not only the space between the cover layers but also the hollow space of the profiled edge members, stabilizes the latter. Such a composite element permits free selection of the material and dimensions of the cover layers with a view toward the respective application of the composite element.

Title: Command processor, use as a switch controller, and a method of operating the same
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1985-12-10
Abstract: A switch controller for a dynamic switch (10) responds to commands from a using system to provide control signals to the dynamic switch (10) which causes the switch to establish and breakdown paths between sources and destinations in the using system. The controller includes a plurality of command registers which are temporarily assigned to a command source for receiving command signals, decoding said signals and providing control signals to the switch for establishing or breaking down a switch path. The controller may if desired provide an echo to a selected destination so that proper execution of commands may be ascertained. After the commands are completed the control register is released for reassignment to another command source while an established switch path remains intact. Thus, commands may be received from any source for controlling the switch.

Title: Electronically switched fiber optic directional coupler
IPC: G02B6/28
Filed: 1985-07-17
Abstract: This invention relates to an electrically switchable fiber optic directional coupler. Two oppositely oriented blocks of an interaction material are placed adjacent the fibers in an evanescent field coupler. Application of an electromagnetic field to the interaction material increases the refractive index of one fiber and decreases the refractive index of the other. The change in refractive indices of the blocks of the interaction material increases the propagation constant of one fiber and decreases that of the other fiber. The coupling of optical signals between the fibers may be varied between zero and 100% by controlling the aplied field to change the propagation constants between values that provide complete cross coupling of light from one fiber into the other and straight through propagation provides an electrically controllable switching action.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for extruding heavy tubular shaped 
articles from high molecular weight, high density linear 
ethylene polymers under shear-stress conditions such that 
the exterior surface of the extruded article would undergo 
melt fracture. Melt fracture is avoided by coextruding a thin

molecular weight, high density linear ethylene polymer and 
the outer lip of the annular die. The second ethylene polymer 
has melt flow properties such that it does not exhibit melt 
fracture at the temperature and shear rate employed in ex­
truding the tubular shaped article.
