Title: Spray means for a toilet pedestal
Inventor: OLIVIER GERARD JOSEPH CECIL
IPC: E03D9/08
Filed: 1991-11-15
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/AU91/00523 Sec. 371 Date May 17, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date May 17, 1993 PCT Filed Nov. 15, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO92/00851 PCT Pub. Date May 29, 1992.A bidet device useable with a toilet has a nozzle (82) which supplies water in an accurate confined spray to the anal or genital area followed by air blown through the same nozzle so as to dry the wetted areas. Both water and air are electrically heated in unit (12) under thermostatic control. A hand grip (60) is used to slide spray conduit (62) and nozzle (82) from a storage position under the lop of the toilet bowl to an appropriate longitudinal position. Switch (52) is then used to control a low voltage circuit which energizes solenoid valves for the alternate supply of water and air. The unit will not operate unless both microswitch (80) [activated by cam (78)] and a pressure switch responding to the user's weight, are closed. In alternative arrangements the spray assembly is carried on an arm turning on a vertical pivot attached to the toilet pedestal or it forms part of a hand-held wand having no attachment to the toilet pedestal.

IPC: E04C5/12
Filed: 1992-07-01
Abstract: The invention suggests the further development of devices known per se for lengthening tensioning rods in precast prestressed concrete compound units in circulating forms, especially for concrete track sleepers. By a two-layered design of the end wall (1) of the form there is created between the inner layer (12) and the outer layer (10) of the end wall a space (14), the dimension of which in the axis of the tensioning bolt (4) must have at least the length of the tensioning displacement of the tensioning rod (3). In this space, a stop (7) is formed on the tensioning bolt (4) and strikes against the outer layer (10) if a tensioning rod (3) should rupture after tensioning, and which thus prevents the ruptured-off end of the tensioning rod flying out of the form. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The properties of (meth)acrylic ester/(meth)acrylic acid copolymer webs, such as films and nonwovens, are improved by blending the ester/acid copolymer with a modified polyolefin, such as an ethylene/(meth)acrylic acid copolymer and/or a styrene/butadiene block co polymer, and a polyether block amide copolymer. The copolymer blend provides a polymeric material which is useful for making personal care products such as diapers and feminine pads in that it can be made water-soluble in alkaline solutions while exhibiting other properties which are necessary for adequate product performance. Such materials are also useful for packaging products, such as film for plastic bags and the like.

Abstract: A combination closure is provided, particularly for evacuated collection tubes for body fluids such as blood, including an elastomer stopper (10) and plastic cover (29) combination with cooperating locking surfaces spaced around the circumference thereof. The stopper includes vertically spaced sealing rings (22) for insertion into the open end of the tube. Also, the stopper includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced protrusions (26) and the cover or shield cooperating circumferentially spaced indentations or ports (30) to provide a locking force between the protrusions and indentations. As a result, the dimensions of the stopper and the plastic cover are reduced, which in turn reduces the penetration force required to insert a needle through the stopper. Moreover, the reduced dimension of the closure allows it to be locked to a bead on the tube whether plastic or glass, and the lesser overall diameter allows the closure on the tube to fit more tube holders or containers during and prior to use. In addition, the smaller dimension reduces the tendency of the closure to "rock" on the tube. The closure of the invention includes means (20) for containing liquid droplets or aerosol when the needle is removed from the stopper.

Abstract: A method of electro-chemical polishing the bearing surfaces (5') of bearing rings (5) comprises providing an electrode (20) having a counter surface adapted to the bearing surface, supplying an electrolyte in a gap which is formed between the bearing surface and the counter surface of the electrode, and producing an electric current flowing from the electrode through the electrolyte to the bearing surface of the bearing ring to be polished, in order to establish an electrolysis for removing material from the bearing surface of the bearing ring to be polished. According to the invention the electrode and the bearing ring are rotated with respect to each other in order to be moved along each other in a direction parallel to the surface of the bearing ring to be polished. The electrode has in the case of a bearing surface of a ball bearing a circular section perpendicular to the direction of movement and only covers a part of the circumference of the bearing surface. The invention also includes an apparatus for carrying out this method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hydrostatic motor with a rotatable rotor in a casing and a braking device in an annular space between the casing and the rotor. The braking device comprises at least two rotationally fixed braking surfaces, of which at least one is displaceable in the axial direction of the hydrostatic motor. The motor also has at least one pressure line for hydraulic fluid, an axially displaceable pressure element with a pressure surface which can be acted upon by the hydraulic fluid and bounds a pressure space, and at least one compression spring acting upon the pressure element in the direction of the displaceable braking surface. In this arrangement, the displaceable braking surface is held in engagement with the other braking surface by the hydraulically balanced pressure element and can be released from braking engagement by axial displacement of the pressure element under the action of the force of the hydraulic fluid. To achieve smaller useful dimensions of the hydrostatic motor, at least in the radial direction, it is proposed that the pressure line (22) extend axially through the pressure element (20) as far as the pressure surface (27) and that the pressure space (28, 30) include an axial annular gap (30) between the pressure element (20) and the casing (1) and extend as far as an annular body (32) movable relative to the pressure element (20). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The multi-purpose food processor (3) consists of an electric motor (11) via whose drive shaft (10) two output shafts (15, 37) are driven, which are mounted in one axis (52) and rotate at different speeds. Both the drive shaft (10) and the two output shafts (15, 37) have appropriate pulleys (8, 56) which are in rotary connection in each case via a belt (14, 44). The two output shafts (15, 37) are mounted on a common axis (52). The belt tension between the drive shaft (10) and the first output shaft (15) is effected by a relative parallel displacement between the drive shaft (10) and the common axis (52) and the subsequent fixing in the position which provides the necessary belt tension. In this case, the belt tension between the drive shaft (10) and the second output shaft (37) is effected by a belt tensioner (26) which deflects the guiding of the second belt. In this case, the length of the second belt (44) is dimensioned such that, after adjustment of the belt tension of the first belt (14), the tension of the second belt (44) can be effected by a movement within its operating range and subsequent fixing of the belt tensioner (26). <IMAGE>
