Title: Pyrotechnic delay element for delay fuzes and its use
IPC: C06C5/06
Filed: 1988-07-07
Granted: 1991-10-09
Abstract: A miniaturized delay element was developed for use in medium-and large caliber weapon systems and is realized in a metallic cartridge made of a copper-free light metal. By including a metallic combustible, an oxidant consisting of a halogen-containing high polymer, and metallocenes as sensitizers, an extremely compact and reliable delay element can be produced. By including a detonating charge consisting of an initiating explosive and a metallocene as sensitizer, the delay element can be designed for initiation without darting flame, for striker pins, needles, etc. Due to its properties, the pyrotechnical delay element is particularly well suited for use in highly delayed charges and/or for daughter projectiles and/or for self-destruction of munitions. The delay times achieved can be experimentally and reproducibly determined between 1 and about 30 sec.

Title: Clamping device for explosion panels
IPC: E04B1/98
Filed: 1988-07-19
Granted: 1993-03-31
Abstract: The invention is for a clamping device for holding an explosion panel on the safety opening of a holder in which there is a dust, gas or vapour, which explosion panel will in the event of an excess of pressure, for example as a result of an explosion in the holder, be thrown open or blown off so that the holder sustains little or no damage. The explosion panel (10) is made of rigid material and is equipped with a retaining edge (8) on which the free end of clip strips (6) fastened at an angle to a frame provided around the safety opening (2) of the holder (1) engages, which clip strips press the explosion panel (10) onto the frame.

Abstract: The roll 20 has a plurality of axially-extending juice channels 23 and juice inlet passages 25 extending from the surface of the roll, in this case having grooves 24, into the channels 23. Each passage 25 is in the form of an axially-extending slit in the roll body 22 and has an extension 29 projecting into the channel 23 to form a juice trap 30. Alternatively the juice trap is formed by each inlet passage intersecting the respective juice channel at a leading or lagging portion of the juice channel relative to the direction of rotation of the roll, and the opposite lagging or leading portion of the juice channel being shut off from the juice inlet passage.

Abstract: Dans un circuit (20) utilisé pour commander un processus de charge de batterie et produire une sortie (S) présentant un des deux niveaux distincts (S1, S2), ces niveaux sont réglables indépendamment par réglage de résistances variables (R1, R2). La commutation entre les deux niveaux est effectuée par des transistors (T1, T2) en réponse à un signal d'entrée (X) variable. Le signal d'entrée (X) est dérivé d'un recombineur d'hydrogène/oxygène (40, Fig. 4, non représenté) doté d'un transducteur thermo-électrique produisant un changement abrupt de la sortie lorsque la batterie est à pleine charge. Afin d'assurer un passage graduel à une vitesse de charge de batterie plus lente, on applique la sortie du transducteur via un intégrateur (41) au circuit (20). Le moyen de commutation pour une des résistances (R2) peut être omis (Fig. 1 non représenté).

Granted: 1992-04-15
Abstract: Les procédés et les mélangeurs employés jusqu'à présent pour obtenir des mélanges homogènes posent, sur le plan pratique, de nombreux problèmes, dans la mesure où l'on observe constamment une tendance non négligeable à la dissociation du mélange. L'invention permet de pallier cet inconvénient en prévoyant un récipient mélangeur pouvant pivoter simultanément autour de deux axes de rotation (3, 6) au moins, avec deux degrés de liberté, de manière à améliorer la qualité du mélange. Par rapport aux techniques actuelles, on constate une amélioration surprenante et très nette du mélange, principalement dans le cas d'un entraînement stochastique, c'est-à-dire irrégulier et aléatoire, et en relation également avec le nombre de tours et le sens de rotation.

Abstract: Lame en contact avec le sol, servant notamment pour les niveleuses de routes par abrasion, sur laquelle une plaquette de carbure est fixée par brasage au bord d'attaque de la pointe en acier. Les ensembles de lame de niveleuse, que l'on trouve dans le commerce, ont des plaquettes de carbure rectangulaires d'épaisseur égale, qui sont fixées par brasage au bord d'attaque de la pointe en acier. En raison de l'usure et des contraintes résiduelles exercées sur ladite plaquette de carbure pendant l'opération de brasage, celle-ci peut se fissurer et se casser prématurément. L'ensemble de la présente invention utilise une plaquette de carbure (14) ayant une arête tranchante plate de forme rectangulaire (30) mais d'épaisseur non constante, soudée par brasage au bord d'attaque (10) d'un corps en acier (12). Ladite plaquette de carbure (14) va en s'élargissant depuis le haut (25) de la plaquette (14) vers le bas (26) du corps en acier (12), où elle est la plus épaisse, l'usure de la lame étant la plus grande à cet endroit.

Abstract: A vane pump for conveying pasty masses, in particular sausage meat, comprising a pump housing and a rotor, which is eccentrically arranged within the pump housing and which is caused to rotate. Radially continuous vanes are supported on the rotor in a radially displaceable manner that define angular conveying cells with the wall of the pump housing and cooperate with the wall to produce a sealing effect. An adjustable pressure piece is mounted in a radial recess in the wall of the pump housing, the pressure piece replacing the contour of the wall of the pump housing with its surface which faces the vanes. Adjustment of the pressure piece adjusts the pressure applied to the vanes in a radial direction in the pressure area of the pump prior to its outlet.

Abstract: In a spraying device of a liquid fuel in a furnace, which consists essentially of a fuel nozzle (3), a fuel line (4) connected to the fuel nozzle (3), and a screen configuration (1a, 1b) placed in the region of the fuel nozzle (3), the fuel line (4) supports a valve (5) upstream of the fuel nozzle (3). The spacing between valve (5) and fuel nozzle (3) is to be minimised and the same applies for the fuel-bearing diameter (4a) along this section. The minimised diameter (4a) has as great a surface tension as possible, which, on standstill of the installation, prevents fuel dripping out of the line. The minimised length of the free fuel column between fuel nozzle (3) and valve (5) ensures that, because of the caloric loading which acts on the fuel line, a minimised quantity of fuel can escape by expansion. <IMAGE>

Abstract: According to the invention, a drive system designed with extended travel for bass loudspeakers (10) is specified which prevents the voice coil (21) from impinging on the magnet bottom pot and the voice coil (21) from coming to rest on the top pole plate (12) even if the mounting elements are designed to be very soft. For this purpose, a further coil arrangement (22), to which the amplifier power is also applied, is arranged on the voice coil former (19). Since the current is designed to flow in the opposite direction in coil (21) and coil arrangement (22), the voice coil former (19) is actively decelerated as soon as one of the two winding areas (23; 24) plunges into the air gap (25). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A power supply which senses whether a primary battery is discharging to below a predetermined dead battery level or the primary battery has been removed and the system is operating from an auxiliary battery, which has a lower voltage. When the battery voltage goes below the dead voltage level, the system is in a low power mode and the power supply output voltages are satisfactory, a timer may be started. If the battery voltage does not drop to the auxiliary battery voltage level within a predetermined time, a shutdown signal is generated and the power supply ceases providing output voltage levels. In this manner the primary battery can be removed and the system can continue running on the auxiliary battery until a charged primary battery is installed and yet the primary battery discharge rate will be greatly slowed when the primary battery voltage is below a given level and the primary battery is still installed in the system. <IMAGE>
