Patent CA-2364582-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEEK WILLIAM F
IPC: F16B39/02
Filed: 2001-12-03
Abstract: The present invention consists of a connection, having an anchored, elongated tension member, a fastening member attached to the elongated tension member, a resisting member that receives the elongated tension member and an expansion device that receives the elongated tension member there through and is compressively loaded between the fastening member and the resisting member by operation of the fastening member on the elongated tension member. The expansion device is formed with a sleeve. First and second bearing members are received in the central aperture of the surrounding sleeve and operatively connected to the surrounding sleeve. At least one of the bearing members is threadably connected to the sleeve. This bearing member can rotate in relation to the surrounding sleeve. A torsion spring connects the first and second bearing members and is located within the surrounding sleeve. The torsion spring biases the first and second members in opposite rotational directions such that at least one of the bearing members is forced to rotate along the thread of the surrounding sleeve away from the other bearing member and out of the surrounding sleeve.

Inventor: HARADA STEPHEN D
IPC: A46D3/00
Filed: 2000-03-17
Abstract: A toothbrush has a head, an array of bristles, a handle and an elongated neck. The head has a longitudinal axis. The array of bristles is secured to the head and extends outwardly therefrom. The handle is offset from the head in a direction parallel to the axis. The elongated neck is interposed between the head and the handle. The neck mechanically couples the head to the handle and offsets the handle from the head in the direction. The handle has an elongated member and a single, non-bifurcated first hook shaped member coupled to the elongated member at a first location adjoining the neck. The first hook shaped member has a first free spaced from the elongated member. The handle further has a single non-bifurcated, second hook shaped member mechanically coupled to the elongated member at a second location spaced a distance from the elongated member from the first location.  The second hook shaped member has a second free end spaced from the elongated member. The first and second hook shaped members are of substantial mirror images of one another and are mutually opposed to hook toward one another. The first free end and the second free end are mutually spaced from one another to define a gap between the first free end and the second free end. The gap has a clearance not exceeding the distance between the first location and the second location.

Title: Chip discharge conveyor system
Inventor: HORI RYUICHI
IPC: B23Q11/00
Filed: 2001-12-28
Abstract: A chip discharge conveyor system includes a partition plate disposed below a discharge run of a circulating endless hinged belt in confronted relation to the discharge belt run along the length thereof. Outer cleats are attached to an outer circumferential surface of the hinged belt, and inner cleats are attached to an inner circumferential surface of the hinged belt. At a conveyor tail end where the hinged belt makes an upward turn, small chips, which have been caught on a return run of the hinged belt, are transferred to the partition plate while they are held by and between a cylindrical member and the hinged belt. The small chips are subsequently conveyed along the partition plate and finally discharged outside a used coolant treatment tank.

IPC: F04B53/16
Filed: 2000-11-15
Abstract: The invention relates to a system consisting of a motor/pump unit (1) and a soundproofing cover (9). The latter insulates the sound of the air which emanates from the motor/pump unit. However, for the mechanical vibration which emanates from the motor/pump unit, the soundproofing cover acts in the same way as the membrane of a loudspeaker. In order to additionally insulate said mechanical vibration, the soundproofing cover is configured as a soundproofing hood (9) which covers the motor/pump unit during the operation of the latter without making contact. During transport, the soundproofing hood and the motor/pump unit are supported against one another.

Abstract: A hydrogen gas sensor is configured such that a first electrode (3) is provided on one surface of a proton conduction layer (1); a second electrode (5) and a reference electrode (7) are provided on the other surface of the proton conduction layer (1) in opposition to the first electrode (3); and these components are supported in a support element (10) consisting of a first support element (8) and a second support element (9). The first support element (8), which partially constitutes the support element (10), has a diffusion controlling portion (19) for establishing communication between an ambient atmosphere and a first recess (11a) (thus the first electrode (3)).  The diffusion controlling portion (19) is a small hole adapted to introduce to the side toward the first electrode (3) a fuel gas (thus hydrogen gas contained therein), which is a gas to be measured, and to control diffusion of the gas.    The diffusion controlling portion (19) is disposed away from an end portion (T) of the second electrode (5) located on the side toward the reference electrode (7), in the direction away from the reference electrode (7). The ratio (area ratio) S1/S2 between the first area S1 (the area of the meshed portion in Fig. 1) and the second area S2 (the area of the hatched portion in Fig. 1) is less than 0.35, where the first area S1 is the area of a portion of a first electrode (3) on which the projected image of a second electrode (5) is not superimposed when the second electrode (5) is projected onto the first electrode (3), and the second area S2 is the area of a portion of the second electrode (5) which is superimposed on the first electrode (3) when the second electrode (5) is projected onto the first electrode (3). That is, the arrangement and respective areas of the first electrode (3) and the second electrode (5) are determined such that, when the second electrode (5) is projected onto the first electrode (3), the projected image of the second electrode (5) falls within the first electrode (3), and the area ratio S1/S2 is less than 0.35.

Patent CA-2402927-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCODELLARO ENI
IPC: G03D3/06
Filed: 2000-03-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a processor for photographic material comprising a large number of processing tanks (1-9), through which the photographic material to be processed passes in sequence and in which photographic processing solutions, such as in particular, developer, bleach, fix and stabiliser solutions are provided. The processor also comprises a pump and conduit system for pumping the processing solutions that are used from storage containers for the processing solutions and water from a water tank into the processing tanks. A replenishment pump (41-47) and a corresponding replenishment conduit (31-37) are provided for each storage container (11-16) and the water tank (24). A control unit (50) for the replenishment pumps interacts with the level sensors (S1-S6) that are allocated to the storage containers, in such a way that the replenishment process is stopped when one of the storage containers is empty. An additional pump (71-73) and a corresponding additional conduit (61-63), which are controlled by the control unit (50), are provided at least for each of the storage containers that hold the photographic developer solution (11-13). Said pump and conduit can be used to automatically pump residual quantities of the processing solutions held in these storage containers (11-13) out of said containers. All remaining storage containers can be emptied, leaving no residue, using the replenishment pumps (74-76). The automatic emptying of the storage containers without residue simplifies the treatment of said storage containers and in particular, simplifies their disposal, thus making the latter less expensive.
