Title: Arrangement for measuring at least one distance between elements moving relative to one another.
Inventor: FRANEK FRIEDRICH
IPC: G01B7/14
Filed: 1989-04-17
Abstract: An arrangement is useful for measuring the distance, possibly filled with a film of a medium in essentially liquid or paste form, e.g. a film of lubricant, paste, water or the like, between a staionary element and an element moving relative to the latter, e.g. between bearing shell(s) and a shaft. An evaluation circuit supplies an electrical signal to the distance to be measured and determines its impedance. The parts adjacent to the distance are electrically conductive or are provided with electrically conductive contacts. To ensure problem-free checking of the bearings of existing machines with such an arrangement, with negligible conversion costs, the medium or film (2) between the two elements (1, 3) is connected to at least one additional coupling impedance (4), which permits contactless signal transmission between the moving element (3) and the stationary element (1), or to an additional measuring impedance, said impedances being connected in turn to the evaluation circuit.

Abstract: So that an opened door (1) can be fixed in a selectable predetermined opening position, in a door closer (4) designed as a top door closer and having a setting-out arm (6) guided in a sliding rail (5) a stop device (13) is mounted on the sliding rail (5). It has a spring-loaded detent element (15) which, in the intended opening position of the door, interlocks with a sliding element (7) attached to the free end of the setting-out arm (6). In particular, the detent element (15) projects into the path of movement of the sliding element (7) which moves along the sliding rail when the door is being opened. Because of slopes (19 and 22), both engagement and disengagement take place relatively easily, and disengagement can be obtained by means of a vigorous closing movement of the door. Instead, the detent element (15) can also be retracted by auxiliary force or by hand. To make assembly easier, the sliding rail (5) is mounted on the fixed frame (2) of the door (1) not directly, but indirectly via an assembly rail (41) previously screwed to the fixed frame. The connection is secured by means of screws (47). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A sheet-metal centrifugal pump casing comprising a casing shell (1) having a suction port (3) and being formed of a steel plate by means of deep drawing using a press, and having a suction flange (10) firmly attached to the suction port of the casing shell is disclosed. The centrifugal pump casing further comprises a partition body (20) firmly attached to the inner surface of the casing shell for partitioning a space within the casing shell into a suction chamber (C) and a pressure chamber (B), and a diffuser (20b) which is integrally extended from the suction side end portion of the partition body and which tapers off toward peripheral edge of said suction port so that an axial gap (21) is formed between the end edge of the diffuser and the peripheral edge of said suction port. 
     Since the axial gap (21) is formed between the end edge of the diffuser and the peripheral edge of the suction port, even in the case of the suction flange (10) is acted upon by an external force such as by piping, a deformation does not affect the partition body (20), thus, problems such as contact between the partition body and the impeller (5) may be completely avoided.
