Abstract: Packing band connector for e.g. thermoplastic bands used to secure packages, has a removable backing plate serving as a rest for overlapping ends of the band, and a head moved up on their other side. The backing plate is novel in its construction, aimed at avoiding excessive gathering of the bands, which might damage the goods. It (3) is in two parts (4,5) and the head (13) is rotary, oscillating back and forth about its axis (14), or alternatively, it may be a pressure plunger. Pref. the plate (3) splits in the band feed direction, its parts adjustable to lie side by side, and mounted to allow them to part, in such a manner that they separate synchronously. Opposite the head a curved recess (28) in the plate, accommodates the head during operation. When the backing plate is closed, the deepest part of the recess coincides with the plane of separation (9) of the plate. In the pressure plunger variant, a square recess accommodates the stamp, when in its operational position. The plunger oscillates parallel to the backing plate. In either variant the recess and the head have roughened surfaces which bear on the overlapping band ends. A recess heater is mounted within the backing plate. The device which engages the head is coupled to both sections of the backing plate, and is operated by a common mechanical drive (10,12,16). Positioning devices (17,25) for both parts of the backing plate have adjusters (20,21).

Abstract: In connection with tightening of particularly bottom chains in agricultural machines, manually adjustable chain tightening devices are known. However, it is found that the necessary adjustments of the chain are frequently not performed at sufficient intervals to prevent unnecessary wear of the bottom chains. The present invention, however, provides a vehicle, preferably an agricultural vehicle, such as a spreader for spreading spreadable materials such as farmyard manure, comprising a body and a hydraulic motor (5) for driving a feed device which is arranged in the bottom of the body, and which comprises at least one bottom chain (1) with associated pulley wheel (3) and chain tightener means (8) for tightening this at least one chain (1) through a substantially linear displacement of at least one of the pulley wheels (3), said chain tightener means comprising one or more hydraulic cylinders (4) which, together with the hydraulic motor (5), communicate with the hydraulic system of the vehicle via a regulation unit. This provides an automatic chain tightening system which does not require manual operation, but currently compensates for wear on the chain, thereby prolonging the service life of the bottom chains. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A liquid coolant with bubbles contained therein for use in carrying out a cutting or grinding operation is continuously supplied to a portion to be worked, and the omnidirectional scatter of the bubbles impinging and bursting upon this portion and the entry of the accelerated splash into a clearance between the pressure contacting surfaces of a cutting tool and a work are promoted with the bubbles in the liquid coolant, which did not reach the portion to be worked, or which reached the portion but passed the same to enter a recovery flow passage, deposited on suspended extraneous matter in the liquid coolant, whereby the flotation of such extraneous matter is promoted. The liquid coolant is discharged downward as an aggregation of particulate turbulent currents and generally as a helical current, whereby a cylindrical veil of liquid coolant which encloses a milling tool or a grinder, and which reaches at its lower end the surface of the work, is formed, at least a part of this helical current being directed vortically from the lower end of the cylindrical veil toward the central portion of the helical current along the surface of the work and thereby supplied to the portion to be worked which contacts the milling tool or grinder.
