Abstract: The device (1) comprises a transfer mechanism (7) which is attached to the free ends of two parallel piston rods (13, 14). The associated piston-cylinder units (15, 16) are attached to a support structure (17) and can be pivoted therewith in a reciprocating manner about a vertical axis (18) by an angle of approximately 105° between a dead plate (3) and a conveyor belt (5). Compressed air nozzles (11) for the purpose of producing negative pressure in corners (10) of the transfer mechanism (7) are supplied with compressed air from a first advance chamber (22) by way of a supply duct (12) of the transfer mechanism (7) and one (13) of the piston rods and the associated piston (21). This is performed by way of a first directional control valve (29) from a first compressed air source (31) of relatively low pressure. The transfer mechanism (7) is advanced by virtue of the piston-cylinder unit (16) by way of a second directional control valve (40) from a second compressed air source (42) of relatively high pressure. The transfer mechanism (7) is retracted by influencing retraction chambers (35, 43) with compressed air which is taken from the second compressed air source (42) by way of a third directional control valve (46).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing shaped bodies or applying coatings on workpieces. The aim of the invention is to produce shaped bodies which are structured in an almost arbitrarily three-dimensional manner or contoured coatings are allowed to be formed on most different workpieces wherein simultaneously the required time and energy will be reduced in comparison with conventional procedures. According to the invention, a shaped body will be built-up in layers or a coating that consists of at least two individual layers will be applied on a workpiece. For this, a platform whereon the shaped body will be built-up or the workpiece is held in a clamping device which is movable within at least two axes in relation to two different sources of heat. The layers which are located inside the shaped body or which are arranged towards the surface of the workpiece will be formed by means of plasma arc weld surfacing or using an inductor having a greater layer thickness and track gauge of the individual layers, and at least one external cover layer having a smaller layer thickness and track gauge will be formed by means of laser beam weld surfacing.

Abstract: Pressure/vacuum relief valve for a vat containing chemical fluids or foodstuffs where the vacuum valve consists of a seat (20) with a central hole (36) on which there rests by gravity, a mobile plate valve (32) guided by a rod (82) which lifts under a vacuum in the vat. The design leaves no pockets in the valve housing which could cause a build up of contaminating products when being cleaned out. The valve (10) consists of a valve body (16) containing a lateral wall (18) which is closed at its top where it is fitted with a pressure relief valve and at its bottom is fitted a horizontal annular plate (20) holed in the centre (36) and whose upper face (24) defines an annular valve seat with which co-operates the mobile body (32) of the valve. This rests by the effect of gravity on the face of the valve seat (24) and is able to lift in the presence of a vacuum. The annular plate (20) forms a fixed assembly with the lateral skirt (18) and the central hole (36) of the annular plate and the mobile valve body (32) are oval or elliptical in shape to allow the body to be introduced upwards through the central hole (36) in the annular plate (20). The mobile valve body is guided by a central axial rod (82) to which it is fixed. This rod slides axially in a collar 88) attached to the underneath of the annular plate (20).

Abstract: A buffer tube design that allows easy access to signal carrying fibers disposed within the buffer tube with risk of damaging the signal carrying fibers. The buffer tube can be made with a ripcord disposed within. Additionally, the buffer tube has the mechanical properties that allow the ripcord to be pulled through the tube wall with less energy than is required to bend the signal carrying fibers within. The buffer tube can also be designed without a ripcord in such a way that the mechanical properties allow the tube to be hand torn using a lower amount of energy than required to bend the signal carrying fibers within. <IMAGE>
