Abstract: A lateral buffer (1) for railway vehicles includes a movable part (3) and a fixed part (2) for attachment to the body (C) of the vehicle or to the bogie and is interposed between the body and the bogie in order to limit their transverse relative displacement. The movable part (31) of the buffer (1) can be positioned relative to the attachment part (2) against the action of resilient return means (17), between an advanced position in which it is spaced from the attachment part, and a retracted position in which it bears against the attachment part. Selectively-operable, pressurised-fluid control means (4,14,16) are provided for positioning the movable part (3) in the retracted position, against the action of the resilient return means (17), under static conditions.

Date Jun. 27, 1991.A belt-type transfer apparatus suitable for transferring objects such as medial ampules or vials or bottles or cans stuffed with beverages or foods, by clamping the objects between successive pairs of opposing belts which are wound on two rows of multiplicity of successive rollers arranged in the direction of the transfer. The arrangement is such that, in the region near one of the rollers of one of said rows around which belts are wound to provide different directions of transfer, the belts associated with the rollers of the other row are arranged to intersect each other at their sides for clamping said object, so that these belts are made to flex when the object passes through the above-mentioned region, thus allowing a smooth change of direction of the transfer. At least one of the rollers disposed in the region where the transfer direction is changed is a sectional roller which is composed of a plurality of pulley segments carried by a common shaft for independent rotation. Belts running at different speeds are wound on the pulley segments of the sectional roller so that the pulley segments are rotated independently at speeds corresponding to the speeds of these belts, thus absorbing any difference in the rotation speed.

Abstract: L'application d'une aspiration à l'embout (22) de l'extracteur de liquide crée une aspiration dans le compartiment supérieur (10) et détend le diaphragme élastique (13) vers le haut, ce qui crée une aspiration dans le second compartiment (11) afin de provoquer l'ouverture de la vanne d'aspiration (15), et crée une aspiration dans le compartiment inférieur (12) ainsi que dans le tube d'aspiration (19), de sorte que du mucus provenant d'un patient (par exemple un nouveau né) peut être aspiré par le tube d'aspiration (19) jusque dans le compartiment inférieur (12) à mesure que le diaphragme (13) revient dans sa position neutre. La suction et la libération répétées par l'embout (22) ont pour résultat une accumulation et un maintien du pression réduite dans le compartiment inférieur (12) afin de continuer l'aspiration de liquide provenant du patient et de la décharger dans ledit compartiment, ledit diaphragme élastique (13) constituant également une barrière entre le mucus et la bouche de l'utilisateur, ainsi qu'entre le souffle de l'utilisateur et le patient.

Abstract: A number of anchoring elements (4), consisting of an annular body (5) and a spacer (14), are arranged in a row on the shank (1) of the fastening element. These anchoring elements (4) are fixed in an axially immovable manner between a stop (9) of the shank and a locking section (12) of the same. The anchoring elements (4) exist as components separated from the shank (1) and are merely arranged in a row on the shank (1). In consequence, by means of one embodiment of the shank (1), a large number of differently constructed anchoring elements (4) can be used, which considerably reduces the cost of production and increases the universal applicability of the fastening element. In particular, the shank (1) and the anchoring elements (4) can be produced from metal, so that the fastening element can overall have much greater strength in comparison with previous plastic elements.

Abstract: A tidal and wave-power collection apparatus is adapted to produce hydrogen and/or oxygen gas. The apparatus is particularly well-suited for oceanic installations. In the preferred embodiment, a matrix of gas-producing units (100, 102, 104) is easily assembled at sea, the units being bridged and reinforced by catwalks (200, 202, 204) extending therebetween to form trilateral gas-producing modules having such units at each of the corners thereof. Each gas-producing unit comprises a central tubular pilaster (300, 302, 304) embedded in the ocean floor and around which is disposed a toroidal float (400, 402, 404) which moves up and down with the waves and tide and which acts to drive a DC generator while rising and falling. The output of the generator is utilized electrolytically to produce hydrogen and/or oxygen gas, which is compressed for storage in the float's chamber. The apparatus is efficient, economical and capable of capturing and storing large quantities of gas. In an alternative embodiment, the DC generator drives a high pressure pump which forces sea water through the microporous membrane of a reverse osmosis unit, thereby converting the sea water into potable water. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The dispenser has a circular mixing chamber (8) which is arranged immediately in front of a mixing nozzle (7). A first channel (15) leads to the mixing chamber (8) which is connected with a rising pipe which is immersed in the filled material of a squeezable container. Simultaneously, a second channel (9) leads into the mixing chamber which is connected to the air space above the filled material. A sieve arranged in the outlet channel (19) at a distance after the mixing nozzle which completely covers the outlet channel under the effect of the pressure of the filled material flowing out when the container (1) is squeezed. With release of the container, the sieve partially releases the outlet channel under the suction effect of the air return flow. With that, the container is rapidly ready for a renewed press sequence.
