Abstract: Metal cabinet, adapted in particular to accomodate electric control and switching apparatuses, comprising at least a front door (6) having its hinges (20) (20) attached to a first stanchion (10) and abutting against the other stanchion (9). The stanchions are obtained directly by correspondingly folding the panels forming the side walls (1, 2) of the cabinet. For the attachment of a hinge (20) to the stanchion fastening means capable of bringing about joints of the sliding type are solely used. Some fastening means (40) are constituted by elastically and unilaterally deformable elements, whereas the remaining fastening means (38, 39, 41, 42) are constituted by rigid elements. The attachment occurs at corresponding sets of apertures (14, 15) provided in two perpendicular surfaces (18, 19), or even in a single surface, of the stanchion. ADVANTAGES: Quick and simple assembly and disassembly of the hinges, without using any screws or similar fasteners. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention concerns membrane electrolyzers suitable for processes such as water or hydrogen halides electrolysis, as well as electrochemical generators fed with gases containing hydrogen and oxygen for direct conversion into electric energy. These apparatuses generally consist of a filter-press assembly of conductive bipolar plates (2), electrodes (4), sealing gaskets (5) membranes (6) and internal longitudinal ducts for feeding the reactants and withdrawing the products and residual reactants. The invention is directed to the method for repairing said electrolyzers or generators when an elementary cell is malfunctioning. This method comprises making at least two perforations in the peripheral area of the bipolar plates (2) and/or gaskets (5) of the malfunctioning cell to reach distribution channels (9, 11) which connect the compartments containing the electrodes (4) with said longitudinal ducts. A sealing means (agent) is then injected through the perforations (12) in order to form suitable occlusions (14, 15) in the distributions channels (9, 11) and in the perforations (12) respectively. To facilitate the perforation procedure, the bipolar plate (2) and/or the gaskets (5) may be provided with blind aid-holes in the peripheral area. Upon sealing the distribution channels (9, 11) and the perforations (12), the bipolar plates (2) delimiting the malfunctioning cell are externally short-circuited and the electrolyzer or generator is ready for operation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The coding lock has a bolt moved by a shaft (18) extending from an external button on the furniture. It has multiple coding buttons (25) which operate time after time to operate the coding wheels (30) similarly. The coding wheels each have a notch (34,34a..) and a magnet (35) and are mounted around an oscillating plate (37) having fingers (41) which fit into the notches of different code wheels. Simultaneously, a coded combination is established by rotation of the coded wheels with respect to a graduation on a face plate (24). The extension of the bolt by the actuation of a shaft causes the retraction of a dog (9) and the pivoting of the oscillating plate freely driving the code wheels without it being possible to retract the bolt held by the dog and a finger of the pivoting plate.

Abstract: The soundproofing method involves calculating a vibration mode, either in the radial direction or in the axial direction of the rail track wheel (6). The wheel resonance frequency for the defined mode of vibration is determined. A resonant beater (10a,10b) is fixed to the wheel. This dynamic beater is constituted by an active mass (11a,11b) having a significant value relative to the mass of the part of the wheel to which it is associated. It is connected to the wheel by a rubber ring (12a,12b) which is engaged in a cavity (14) machined in the rim (8) internal surface. The beater is made and adjusted so that its vibration frequency is equal to the wheel resonant frequency for the defined mode of vibration.

Abstract: The system has levers (2) and a tilting cross-member (3) which is suspended from the bogie chassis (4) by the levers and has secondary suspension elements (5) between the tilting cross-member and the carriage body. The levers, cross-member and the bogie chassis form a trapezium of rigid articulated members in the radial plane, the smaller base of which is fixed to the cross-member and the larger base to the chassis, while the sides are formed by the levers. The bogie chassis has intermediate cross-members (9) which form, together with the levers and the tilting cross-member, an assembly which creates a predetermined angular rigidity between the bogie chassis and the carriage body.

Abstract: Films, made of polyethylenes and filers, and articles made therefrom greater WVTR than previously available films based on conventional Zeigler-Natta based polyethylenes. The polyethylenes are produced in a metallocene-catalyzed production process. The films may be made by a cast film process, and may be made in widely varying filler content, generally polyethylene to filler ratios of 30/70 to 70/30. The metallocene based polyethylenes when combined with filler also permit the extrusion of thinner films leading to lighter weight and softer films. The m-polyethylenes utilized for making such films typically have a Composition Distribution Breadth Index above 50%, a Mw/Mn below 3, and a Mz/Mw below 2. The films may be used advantageously in composite structures with fabrics (either woven or non-woven) to fabricate such articles as house-wrap

Abstract: A centrifuge has a rotating driving head (2) fixed to a rotating shaft (43), a rotor (3) fixed to the driving head, a means (21) of coupling the driving head and the rotor in rotation, and a means of blocking axial movement on the shaft comprising a means of applying an axial force to a surface (9) of the rotor where the force increases with the rotational speed of the driving head. The means of applying an axial force to the rotor has at least two inertial masses (56) mounted on one end of the driving head symmetrically about its axis of rotation (42). Each mass can be moved between a position unblocking the rotor axially, in which the mass is retracted into the driving head, and a position blocking the rotor axially, depending on the speed of rotation of the head. In this position, the pressing part of the mass extends beyond the external radial surface (49) of the driving head and acts with a ramped surface (11) to a receiving opening (7) on the rotor. This ramped surface is inclined towards the inside of the opening and towards the pressing surface (9) of the rotor. The ramp is conical. At least one mass is held elastically from its retracted position to an initial blocking position. The pressing surface (9) and the holding surface (47) are conical and matched. At least one mass is a shock load to produce a resonant signal during the blocking. An Independent claim is included for a rotor for a centrifuge as above with a receiving opening for at least one end of a driving head, with a surface pressing against the holding surface and at least one ramp which acts with part of a mass, inclined towards the inside from the outside and towards the pressing surface.

Abstract: An electromagnetic actuator with a control circuit, a combinational circuit and a power section as well as with a magnetic coil, which is connected via electrical lines to the output of the power section, the output signal of the control circuit is passed on to the power section only when, in addition to the output signal of the control circuit, the combinational circuit is fed a release signal. For safety reasons, current is to flow via the magnetic coil only when the release signal is simultaneously available. For monitoring the effectiveness of the combination of the output signal of the control circuit connected upstream of the power section with the release signal with respect to the current flow via the magnetic coil, the voltage of that line which is supplied with the operating voltage on activation of the power section is fed to an evaluation circuit. The evaluation circuit has a threshold switch, which converts the voltage fed to it into a switching signal. The threshold voltage of the threshold switch is slightly greater than the reference potential. The actuator is particularly suited for hydraulic or pneumatic proportional valves in applications with increased safety requirements.
