Title: Retractable rolled flexible steel measurement rule - has new spool and spring held by clamp enabling easy replacement when original is worn
IPC: G01B3/10
Filed: 1971-06-05
Abstract: A pocket flexible steel measurement rule in which the rule and spring can easily by replaced when they are damaged or worn out is presented. The rule is mounted in an outer casing consisting of two matching shell elements which have a slot or guideway through which the rule can be drawn and a thumb operated brake button. The rule is wound on a spool carrying an internal wound spring (12) and rotates a shaft (28) which is mounted in the outer shells by means of two square section projections. A new spool and spring are provided with a holding clamp (52) which retains the rule and maintains the spring (12) state. The old spool can be renewed and thrown away, the new clamped spool inserted in one shell unit, the clamp (52) removed and the other shell screwed on to the first.
Patent DE-2200142-B2 (DE)
Title: Rotary cutting disc for metal tubes - has sprung disc rotatable annularly about pipe axis and with cutting edge at angle to pipe surface
IPC: B23D21/00
Filed: 1972-01-04
Abstract: The cut consists of a forked mounting (5) in which a circular cutter (19) is mounted on a pin (16). A spring (18) is also mounted on the pin and presses the cutter against one side between the forked ends of the mounting. The cutting faces of the cutter are asymmetrical about a plane which goes through the cutting edge. The angle of the cutting face, at the side the spring is mounted, is smaller than the angle of the other face. There is a wedge action because of this difference in angle, so that the resulting force slightly compresses the spring and the cutter cuts along a face which is in line with one of its cutting faces.

Abstract: Apparatus for the metered supply of an analysis liquid (7) onto a target (5), which involves ejecting the liquid in small quantums, in a pulsating manner, from a nozzle (2) through a nozzle outlet orifice (3) onto the target. So as to permit precise metering of analysis liquid quantums which are distinctly larger than in the case of the "drop on demand" methods used hitherto for analysis liquids, but, on the other hand, are smaller than the minimal metered amounts achievable hitherto using diluters and dispensers, an apparatus is proposed which has a pressure chamber (1) in which the analysis liquid is pressurised, and in which apparatus a valve device (11) having a valve orifice (23) and a closure element (13) moved by an actuator (12) is provided, the valve device (11) being designed in such a way that ejection of the liquid is assisted by the movement of the closure element (13) when closing the valve orifice (23). <IMAGE>
Patent JP-S5139382-B2 (JP)
IPC: B07C1/04
Filed: 1972-02-17
Abstract: A flat article separating apparatus for separating overlapping articles traveling along a feeding belt is disclosed. The apparatus includes a slipping section for causing overlapping articles to slip with respect to each other. Thereafter, the articles pass through a detector which detects the presence of an article and in response to such a detection, activates a moving roller aligned with a branching section of the feeding belt to cause the belt in the area of the branching section to bend. Bending of the feeding belt in the vicinity of the branching section allows the article in the branching section to be directed to a branch path of the feeding belt. Articles whose leading edges have passed the branching section at the time the moving roller is activated, continue to move along the main path of the feeding belt.

IPC: C12N1/00
Filed: 1980-02-27
Abstract: A process for the production of prokaryotic, particularly bacterial, single cell protein which includes a step in which whole and/or ruptured @micro-organism@ cells are treated with an oxidising agent or are subjected to other oxidising means. The oxidising agent can be added during cultivation and/or during subsequent treatment and/or it can be added to the product obtained. The treatment is preferably carried out at a pH between 7.0 - 9.0. The preferred oxidising agent is hydrogen peroxide. The product of the process has a number of advantages over known prokaryotic single cell protein, most important being that its use alleviates difficulties of reduced feed intake, reduced live weight gain, poor feed conversion ratios and liver damage experienced when single cell protein is fed to domestic fowls in high dietary inclusions.

IPC: A43B5/04
Filed: 1987-02-06
Abstract: A ski boot (10) which creates a vacuum between the boot and user's foot, ankle and lower calf. The boot includes a rigid shell (12) formed in sections which permit articulation, and padded liners (56) are mounted within the shell. A flexible sheath (64) secured to the shell forms an hermetical seal about the calf of the user. Means are provided for maintaining a partial vacuum within the boot. The partial vacuum causes both contraction of the boot shell and expansion of the foot to establish a close fit of the foot within the boot. The boot provides lateral stiffness while permitting forward flexing, and the close fit permits the user to achieve precise control during skiing.

Abstract: A coffee-maker (1) with a brewing device (7) is described which has a brewing chamber (9) and a piston (37) which can move back and forth therein. One of the end sides of the brewing chamber (9) contains an opening (44) which is exposed by a closure member (8) in one of its positions (I) for metering in ground coffee and is closed in another position (II). A scraper (48) is provided for scraping and ejecting the coffee dregs. In order to simplify a coffee-maker of this type in terms of construction and to design it to be more reliable and robust in function, it is proposed to move the closure member (8) only in a plane running parallel to the opening (44) relative to the brewing chamber (9) and to link the scraper (48) to the closure member (8) in its movement.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To let a vehicle run safely even when system fail occurs in a control unit by providing a control means with at least two control units, and when one control unit is failed, by extracting and controlling an actuator. CONSTITUTION:A control unit 30 is constituted in such that it is provided with at least two CPUs, the first CPU 30A and the second CPU 30B, and drive motors 22A and 22B driven by these CPUs, and when a CPU, for example, the first CPU 30A is failed, the drive motor 22B is controlled by the other one, the second CPU 30B. Since the operation device 10 of an automatic speed change gear 12 for a vehicle is constituted in such a way, fail safe against system fail is surely achieved. In addition, since drive operation is executed in this fail safe operation, the safe running state of a vehicle when one CPU is failed can be secured.

Abstract: The additional lock assembly (3) incorporates a sliding bolt (10) which can be pushed back freely and which can be moved beyond the normal position into a locking position by a spring (28) and/or by a gear (111,136,132). The sliding lock from a locking device (24) may, on closure of the door, punch through the lock plate (33) in the door frame on the other side of the lock. The sliding bolt may be held in position by a catch. When the door is closed, the catch may release the bolt so that the bolt takes up a locking position, while it passes through an aperture in the lock plate. This lock plate may be mounted in the door opening. The catch can hinge in a plane which lies at right angles to the hinge axis of the door and may be forced outward by a spring loaded lever (30).

Abstract: A thermostatic valve used for mixing hot and cold water. The valve comprises inlet openings (2, 3) for hot and cold water, of the conventional type, a control element (5), arranged movably inside the valve body, which is preferably designed in the form of a piston and allows the flow of hot and cold water in the adjusted ratio, and a mixing chamber (7) out of which leads an outlet opening (4). The object of the invention is to avoid functional problems with the movable control element which result primarily from the deposition of lime contained in the water in the confined movement cavities which produce a seal. For this purpose, the control element (5) is sealed to the valve body (1) by an elastic membrane (14), which is attached to both the control element and to the valve body, but whose elasticity permits the required control element movements.
