Title: Fastening conveyor elements to endless chains
Inventor: RIEGER WERNER
IPC: B65G19/24
Filed: 1984-01-19
Abstract: In a chain conveyor with conveying elements (7) arranged between endless chains (1), coupling members are used for the connection of the conveying elements with the endless chains. These coupling members bifurcately surround chain links (4) orientated parallel to the axis (2) of the sprocket wheels (3) and have fastening flanges (10) arranged at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the chain links (4) embraced by the coupling members. The fastening flanges in turn bifurcately embrace parts of the conveying elements (7) and are connectable with these by screw bolts (11) and nuts (12) so that the assembly and disassembly of the conveying elements is possible without releasing the endless chains. Various configurations of the projections (8) of the coupling members are described with the object of locking the projections in the links (5). <IMAGE>

Title: Test head for compressed gas cylinders
Inventor: GRENCI CARL A
IPC: G01N3/12
Filed: 1982-12-27
Abstract: A test head useful in the testing of compressed gas cylinders capable of withstanding high pressure. The water jacket head includes a neck seal including a spud insertable into the neck of a compressed gas cylinder for permitting a high pressure seal to be made to the cylinder. The present neck seal incorporates a permanent quick-connect sleeve for which mating male spud insert units can be designed for nearly any size cylinder neck. Changing the spud insert can be accomplished by hand, without removing the head from its use location. A diaphragm support spring is installed between the moving spud stem assembly and the top plate of the head which biases the spud stem assembly, thus increasing diaphragm life and preventing increasing reassembly difficulty following spud changes. Studs and screws replace welds in holding the top, side and bottom plates together which greatly alleviates the task of servicing inside the head when leaks eventually occur in the moving elements. A heavy, long-lasting, fluid pressure expansible head boot is included which requires less servicing, simplifying field installation.

Title: Process and apparatus for making a water impermeable hollow wafer
Inventor: HAAS SEN FRANZ
IPC: A21B5/02
Filed: 1985-12-04
Abstract: A hollow wafer which is made from a flat baked wafer cake is treated, particularly by roll- or brush-coating on at least one surface with a food-grade substance, such as fat or oil, to prevent ingress of moisture, and then while it is still soft and deformable after the baking operation, is wound to form the hollow wafer, particularly a wafer cone. Alternatively, the treatment may be performed during the winding of the wafer cake. The process is carried out by an applicator roller (7) or applicator brush, which engages with one side of the flat wafer cake on the opened baking tong (3), the roller (7) being supplied with fat or oil by pick up roller (6) and reservoir (5). Two applicators may be used to apply substances at different temperatures. <IMAGE>

Inventor: KNOX WILLIAM
IPC: A61F2/76
Filed: 1985-12-30
Abstract: A prosthetic alignment device comprises at least two co-operating members (1, 2) having opposing spherically curved faces. The faces include means for defining a direction of relative movement of the co- operating members and for calibrating that movement. The means for defining and calibrating comprise a row of teeth (14) on the said curved face (a) of one member (1) and a corresponding row of indentations (5) on the said curved face (b) of the opposing member (2). The rows of engaging teeth and indentations define the direction one member is to move relative to the other. The pitch of the teeth gives a predetermined angle of adjustment of the two co-operating members, and by counting the number of teeth or indentations visible the adjustment of the two members and consequently the alignment of the prosthesis can be immediately calculated. <IMAGE>

Title: Method for controlling a moving object along a target line
Inventor: KUERBITZ GUNTHER
IPC: F41G7/00
Filed: 1987-09-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for controlling a moving object (e.g. a missile 18) along a target line. A transmitter generates a laser beam which is deflected in a target cone along a scanning diameter rotating about the target line, at the same time passing through n scanning diameters during one revolution. The moving object contains a receiver with following evaluation electronics. When this object moves within the target cone, the scanning laser beam emits the signal when it passes across the receiver. The signals, which are generated during the passage of a first scanning diameter and a second scanning diameter which follows in time and is located in the angular sector 360/n<o> round the first and which is passed through in the opposite direction relative to the target line, are combined with one another. As a result of simple computation, this combination results in signals which are proportional to the deviation of the moving object from the target line and which serve to form correction values for controlling the object along the target line. Also generated is a signal which makes it possible to synchronise the transmitter and the receiver continuously with one another, so that there is no need to transmit separate synchronising signals from the transmitter to the receiver.
