Abstract: A method of joining the ends of papermakers fabric is disclosed wherein machine direction yarns (12) are fringed out at the fabric ends, yarn ends (16) being laid across a pinned plate (13), and yarn ends (20) being cut back so as partially to overlie the plate. Those yarns (16) which extend across the plate (13) are folded back to form loops (14) beyond the edge of the plate and a thermoplastics matrix material (17) is applied to the plate. The matrix material (17) is made fluid by heating and, on subsequent cooling, forms an apertured end to the fabric which presents side-by-side, outwardly extending loops (14). The loops (14) at the respective fabric ends may be interdigitated to receive a pintle wire, thus to bring the fabric into endless form. A variation of the method is disclosed wherein a reticulate, premoulded seam element is engaged with the pinned plate for attachment to machine direction yarns of the fabric on melting of the matrix material, the seam element including axially aligned tunnels at a free edge thereof for cooperation with similar formations at an opposed fabric end and to receive a pintle wire.

Abstract: An automatic take-up method and mechanism for loop warp threads consists of feeding the threads through the comb after taking from a magazine such as a bobbin a folding then in two. The head and tail of each folded section are then passed through a warping element and then between the teeth of the comb. The folded sections of each thread are of approx. the same length, with one section kept vertical and the other horizontal. A cord can be threaded through the loop formed by each foled thread to keep it under tension as it is passed through the warping element and comb.

Abstract: A system for adjusting the tension of a tape in a magnetic tape record/playback device includes a feed spool, a take-up spool and a motor for feeding the tape between the spools in a forward direction and a reverse direction. A tension sensor senses the tension in the tape as the tape is fed in the forward direction. The tension sensor is locked in its last existing position when the tape direction is changed from the forward direction to the reverse direction. A slip coupling applies a pre-adjusted tension to the tape when the tape is fed in the reverse direction.

Abstract: In a method of automatically milking animals, e.g. cows, in a milking parlour, teat cups (80) carried by a robot arm (7) of a milking robot can be moved individually upwardly relative to the robot arm (7), whereby a vacuum is produced in the teat cup (80) moved upwardly, so that the teat cup (80) can suck to a relevant teat. Thereafter the teat cup (80) is released from the robot arm (7) but remains connected therewith via a flexible connecting member (81), by means of which the teat cup (80) is pulled towards and against the robot arm (7) when the milking flow through the teat cup (80) has ended. The specification further describes an implement for performing this method.

Abstract: In order to be able to clamp and tension printing plates on the forme cylinder with a minimum of handling effort and in any angular position of said forme cylinder, the invention proposes to arrange the drive members, which bring about the clamping and tensioning of the printing plate, in the groove of the forme cylinder. The eccentric shafts (5.3, 6.3) of the front and of the rear tensioning rails (5, 6) are guided through appropriate openings (11) on both cylinder side walls and have actuating arms (12). Two adjusting rings (8, 9) are arranged rotatably in each case on a collar mounted upstream of the forme cylinder on both side walls thereof, said adjusting rings having recesses (13) in which the actuating arms engage. Turning the adjusting rings thus causes clamping or loosening of the corresponding tensioning rail. The adjusting rings are driven by appropriate spur wheels (17) which are guided out of the cylinder side walls and mesh with a tooth gearing (14) of the respective adjusting ring. Said spur wheels are driven in each case by a motor (20.a, 20.b) (compressed air motor) from the cylinder groove via a train of gears, consisting of a plurality of gearwheels, together with clutches. The tensioning is caused by one of the two motors provided, in that a further clutch is provided, by means of which a rotary spindle can be driven. By means of the latter, a pressure strip, assigned to the rear tensioning rail, can be displaced over a bridge. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A micro controller (MC) which is constructed as a pulse-width modulator changes the duty ratio (the modulation) of the pulse-width modulation output signal (MS) at a specific switching frequency, and drives the downstream push-pull stage (GS) in a time-delayed manner by means of at least one upper power switch and one lower power switch (LSO, LSU). The micro controller (MC) has three pulse-width modulation outputs (ports P1, P2, P3). The actual PWM output signal (MS) is emitted at the first output (P1). The modulation signal (MS) plus a dead time (MS + TZ) are emitted at the second output (P2) and fed to the lower power switch (LSU) as a drive signal (ASU). The dead time (TZ) is emitted at the third output (P3), the drive signal (ASO) for the upper power switch (LSO) being formed from the modulation signal (MS) and the inverted dead time (TZ) by subtraction (SUB). In the modulation limit region (modulation tending to 100% and 0%), the dead time (TZ) is reduced automatically and one power switch (LSU or LSO) is switched on continuously, while the other power switch (LSO or LSU) is switched off in the mean time. Beyond a specific modulation limit value, a "Power bit" (PB) is emitted regularly at a fourth output (P4) and produces 100% modulation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A sliding gate valve (5) has a frame with a sliding carrier (11) within the frame, a stationary plate secured at an upper portion of the valve and a slide gate plate (16) secured at a lower portion of the valve. In one embodiment a spring plate (12) is provided with beam springs mounted in cantilever fashion with their end portions orientated in surrounding relationship to a teeming opening of the valve. In addition, a cluster (28) of such springs is provided at a shut-off portion of the slide plate which underlies the teeming opening to the vessel in the shut-off position. This mounting may be reversed with the springs secured in cantilever fashion to the carrier and the spring plate eliminated, while the springs bear directly on the underside of the metal encased refractories (19). The spring plate can have the cantilever springs mounted on both sides and is positioned between the slide gate plate and the carrier. This results cutting the spring rate in half. By providing double springing, such as reversely folding a pair of springs upon each other, also cuts the spring rate in half. With spring pairs mounted on each other on one side of the spring plate and a single spring on the other side, the spring rate is cut to one-third of that of a single spring. To cut the spring rate to one fourth, doubled springs are used on both faces of the spring plate.

Abstract: A blood vessel clamp has a pair of arms (2, 4) each supporting a respective jaw (8, 12). The arms are pivotally interconnected by a box joint (26) formed by an intermediate portion (22) of one arm (2) extending through a slot in an intermediate portion of the other arm (4) and imprisoned therein by a pivot pin (28). The internal wall of the slot is provided with a protrusion (30) at a location remote from the pin (28) such that as a part (32) of the intermediate arm (22) enters the slot during the last stages of closure of the jaws (8, 12) it engages the protrusion (30) and forces the opposite walls of the slot apart against their own resilience. This creates an increased stiffness in the joint (26) so that the jaws will remain in any desired position until a predetermined force is applied to overcome the stiffness whereupon they can be moved to a new position.
