Abstract: The device for fixing an object by screwing to a section having two flanges directed substantially towards one another and defining therebetween a longitudinal opening comprises an elongated plate provided with one of the threaded portions and rotatable in a plane substantially parallel to that of the flanges of the section. In a free position, the longitudinal direction of the plate corresponds substantially to that of the section. In a retained position, the plate is retained under the flanges of the section and immobilized in one at least of the directions of rotation. Resilient means are provided for urging the plate towards the flanges of section in the retained position. The resilient means bear on a wedge intended to be inserted between the external face of the flanges of the section and the object to be fixed. This wedge has a passageway for a connecting rod between the plate and the other screw fixing element.

IPC: C07C43/225
Filed: 1984-08-25
Abstract: New anisotropic compounds with a cross-polarizing substituent have the formula (1)    <IMAGE>  (1)  The increase in  epsilon  ORTHOGONAL is achieved by the polarizing group X, preferably the cyano group or a halogen atom, which is not laterally on the ring, as with the known compounds, but is on the bridge, that is to say is part of the main bridge bonding rings A and B to one another. Ring A has the formula (1a) or (1b) given herein and is always cycloaliphatic, while ring B can be identical to ring A or is an aromatic ring of the formula (1c) or (1d) herein. R1 and R2 are identical or different end groups of the formula (1e) herein. The radical X on the bridge causes less widening of the molecule than a radical X on a ring, which provides comparatively higher clear points and moreover enables aromatic rings to be omitted from the anisotropic compounds.

Abstract: A caster wheel assembly which uses a mechanical brake 
to apply force in order to prevent shimmying at high speeds. 
A controller arrangement provides that no braking force is 
supplied until the vehicle reaches a preset speed. Thereafter,

predetermined force is great enough to prevent shimmying 
but low enough to permit the caster wheel mounting member 
to continue to rotate about its axis so that the vehicle may 
continue to be maneuvered even at high speeds.
Patent EP-0248289-A3 (EP)
Title: Toothed gearing with a continuously variable transmission ratio
IPC: F16H3/76
Filed: 1987-05-22
Abstract: The gear drive or transmission comprises toothed elements whose radial spacing from a drive shaft can be selectively altered. There are two sets of such toothed elements whose aforementioned radial spacing can be infinitely varied in increments or sets. Each set of the toothed elements has operatively associated therewith at least one planetary gear which always meshes with one of the toothed elements of the associated set. The drive shaft generates, on the one hand, between the toothed elements and each of its associated planetary gear, on the other hand, a relative revolving or orbiting motion. Coacting with each planetary gear is an intermediate gear train which is positively or form-lockingly connected with one of the freely rotatably mounted starting elements of a differential gearing. A compensation element of the differential gearing is rotatably mounted at the end of a radially protruding arm rigidly connected for non-relative rotational movement with the drive shaft. The autorotation and the revolving or orbiting motion of this compensation element is transmitted by a gear train to a power take-off shaft. Since the toothed elements and thus the planetary gears are infinitely radially adjustable there also is altered the circumferential velocity at their point of engagement, so that there results the infinite variability of the transmission or gear ratio.
