Title: Method and devices for producing a moulded plastic article
Inventor: HANOT DOMINIQUE
IPC: B29C31/04
Filed: 1995-05-17
Granted: 2005-04-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a moulded plastic article. Individual portions of material are removed from a flow of heat-plasticized material which flows vertically downwards from a closable dispensing aperture of a dispenser and transferred to a mould before being pressed by closure of the mould to form a moulded article. The required portions are cut by cutting shears from the flow of material at a point below the dispensing aperture and ata distance from it, the flow preferably being briefly halted for this purpose. The invention also concerns a device for the production of a moulded plastic article, comprising a closable mould (8) and a material dispenser (1) for heat-plasticized synthetic material which can be arranged above the moulding chamber (8). The dispenser has a dispensing aperture which points towards the mould (8) and can be closed by a closure unit (6) and from which the flow (12) of plasticized material emerges. According to the invention, a shearing device (9) for separating the required portions (14) of material is situated below and at a distance from the dispensing aperture.

Granted: 2002-06-25
Abstract: An agitator assembly for a fabric washer includes an agitator body having an elongated agitator barrel and a plurality of vanes extending radially outwardly from one end of the agitator barrel.  An auger tube is telescopically mounted over the agitator barrel and includes a helical flighting on its outer surface.  A bearing assembly is located between the outer surface of the agitator barrel and the inner surface of the auger tube, and holds the inner auger tube surface free from contact with the outer agitator barrel while at the same time permitting relative rotational movement between the auger tube and the agitator body.  A ratchet clutch assembly is provided for permitting the auger tube to rotate only in one direction with respect to the agitator.  The ratchet clutch assembly includes a circular array of ratchet teeth, and a plurality of ball bearings resting upon the ratchet teeth.  The ball bearings move vertically in vertical tracks.  A flexible friction ring is provided to increase the friction between the auger body and the bearing assembly, such that the auger body oscillates with the agitator body until sufficient resistance provided by larger fabric loads overcomes the internal friction, thereby allowing the auger body to rotate in a ratcheting manner.

Title: Air intake arrangement for outboard marine engines
Inventor: RINZAKI SHOICHI
IPC: F02B75/20
Filed: 1997-12-18
Granted: 2004-07-27
Abstract: In an outboard marine engine, an air intake passage is mostly defined by a partition wall which extends substantially horizontally inside the engine cover so as to define an air introduction chamber above an engine roomy accommodating an engine. The air intake passage is defined in such a manner that the intake air is initially guided along a horizontal path between upper and lower plates, and is forced upward through an opening in the upper plate by a first vertical baffle plate extending between front edges of the upper and lower plates before it goes over a second vertical baffle plate extending from the upper plate and finally enters the engine room. Therefore, any heavier contents such as water droplets are effectively removed from the intake air by the actions of inertia and the gravitational force. Because the intake air passage is mostly defined by the partition wall, any design change in the air intake arrangement can be readily and economically accommodated by changing the partition wall.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour faire fonctionner un système de gestion de fautes d'un réseau d'accès faisant partie d'un réseau de télécommunication publique. Dans ce réseau d'accès, des lignes de destination partent sous la forme de paire de fils de cuivre d'un commutateur local (10), et transitent par une série de noeuds pour arriver jusqu'à un terminal utilisateur du réseau. Le système de gestion des fautes comprend une tête d'essai (104) et un système de gestion du réseau d'accès (102). Chaque nuit, la tête d'essai (104) effectue une série d'essais sur chacune des linges de destination. Les résultats des essais sont transmis au système de gestion (102) du réseau. Ils sont alors convertis en note de circuit, chaque note indiquant la qualité opérationnelle du circuit testé. Pour chaque noeud, les notes des circuits testés traversant le noeud sont combinées pour produire une note de noeud qui est indicative de la qualité opérationnelle du noeud. Pour identifier le noeud opérationel le plus défecteux, et donc nécessitant le plus de recherches, les noeuds sont classés en fonction de leur notes.

Title: Windrower platform side-to-side float balance adjustment
Inventor: MELLIN MICHAEL JAMES
IPC: A01D41/14
Filed: 1999-07-12
Granted: 2001-03-27
Abstract: A harvester platform is suspended from the implement main frame by a linkage including a pair of lower transversely spaced links each having rear and front ends respectively pivotally attached to the main frame and the platform. Associated with each lower suspension link is a hydraulic float cylinder coupled between the main frame and the associated link so as to exert a lifting force on the link. The amount of lifting force exerted by each float cylinder may be varied by adjusting the location of the anchor pin connecting the cylinder to the main frame through means of an adjustable bracket that carries the anchor pin. Side-to-side float balance of the platform is achieved through properly adjusting the anchor pin locations so that the float cylinder at the heavier end of the platform exerts a greater lifting force than the float cylinder at the lighter end of the platform.
