Abstract: The invention concerns a pedal-operated clutch device (1) for motor vehicles, in particular for agricultural tractors. The clutch (2) is operated entirely by muscle power. Sensitive engagement and disengagement of the clutch (2) combined with easy pedal travel are achieved without external or power-assisted actuation. To this end, a pressure piece (10) of the clutch (2) can be moved against the force of a disk spring (23) in the direction of opening of the clutch (2). According to the invention, the disk spring (23) has a characteristic curve (K) with a negative gradient, and in order to modify the total transmission (i), the pressure piece (10) has a shape which enables the profile of the force to be applied to the clutch pedal (22) to be defined. Preferably the force to be applied to the pedal remains essentially constant, relative to the travel of the clutch pedal (22).

Abstract: A dispensing apparatus and method for dispensing detergent in a warewash machine. The rinse water spray systm or an alternate water source is monitored to determine if water is being supplied to the warewash machine. Once water is sensed being supplied to the machine, the apparatus determines whether the water is being supplied for a rinse cycle or a fill cycle. The amount of detergent dispensed is controlled based upon the determination of whether the water is being supplied in a rinse cycle or a fill cycle. If the apparatus determines that the water is being supplied for a rinse cycle, a make-up amount of detergent is dispensed upon completion of the rinse cycle. If the apparatus determines that the water is being supplied for a fill cycle, the washtank is pre-charged with the desired concentration of detergent during the fill cycle.

Date Dec. 26, 1991Phosphine is generated by the reaction of water with a metal phosphide formulation. In one embodiment, the formulation is within a housing closed by a membrane which is permeable to water and phosphine. A water-containing gas flows across the membrane and water from the gas permeates into the housing to react with the phosphide, producing phosphine which also permeates through the membrane to enter the gas flow. Two membranes may be used to close the housing, one permeable to water, the other permeable to phosphine. A blanking plate and phosphine absorber may be included to control the phosphine production. In a second embodiment, pellets of a phosphide formulation are transferred, periodically, from a hopper to a chamber containing water. The transfer is effected by a disc member mounted below the hopper and above the chamber. The disc member has at least one aperture in it, within which pellets are transported from the hopper outlet to an inlet port of the chamber. Control of the phosphine production is supplemented by varying the water temperature and by using a safety arrangement adapted to supply a purge gas to the generator. The safety arrangement utilises a reservoir of the purge gas (usually dry air, nitrogen or carbon dioxide) at high pressure, established prior to the operation of the phosphine generator. If the electrical power supply to the generator fails, or if the gas pressure or the phosphine concentration in the generator is too high, a valve opens to let the purge gas flow from the reservoir into the generator.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the recovery of solvents or other substances, which are condensable, adsorbed in an adsorber (3). The adsorber (3) is first heated to a temperature which is below the decomposition temperature of the solvent, the adsorber space (2) is then sealed off from the surroundings and a high vacuum is applied to the adsorber space (2), as a result of which the solvent is desorbed. For some of the time that this high vacuum is applied, the temperature of the adsorber (3) is brought to a temperature which is above the decomposition temperature of the solvent. Despite this, no decomposition occurs under the conditions mentioned, but the high temperature permits an almost complete desorption of the solvent. Finally, the desorbed solvent is withdrawn from the adsorber space (2) and condensed. <IMAGE>
