Title: Removable refuelling system
IPC: B64F1/28
Filed: 1989-04-28
Granted: 1993-03-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a fuelling system comprising a fuelling arm composed of several pipe elements, which each are connected with one another through a joint having one degree of freedom, and which is connected to a supply line. The supply line is arranged inside a vertically opening enclosed space. The fuelling arm is liftable and lowerable to ground level by means of a lifting and lowering device. In order to assure a fuelling radius which is as large as possible, and on the other hand in order to be able to completely move the fuelling system during nonuse to an out of the way location, the lifting and lowering device includes a plate liftable to a position flush with respect to the ground, on which plate is supported a first joint pivotal about a vertical axis. The respective adjoining pipe elements are horizontally arranged, are angled at their ends and are each connected with one another by means of at least one vertical joint. The dimension of the plate equals at least the length of the longest pipe element. The fuelling arm can thus be collapsed above the plate and can be lowered together with the plate into the vertically enclosed space.

Title: Video tape recorder with an arrangement for electronic editing of picture signals in skewed tracks of a magnetic tape with recorded picture and fm-sound signals
IPC: H04N5/782
Filed: 1990-03-10
Granted: 1993-07-14
Abstract: Video recorders are already known in which the sound signal is recorded both in addition to the picture signals on the helical tracks and on a longitudinal track at the tape edge. The novel video recorder is to provide the possibility of electronic editing of picture signals with the least possible disturbances in the sound signal already recorded. 
<??>Essentially, this is achieved by the fact that the helical-track sound signal erased in an unwanted manner during the picture editing is replaced by the sound signal recorded on the longitudinal track.
