Title: Internally oxidized tube
Inventor: TRIQUET CHRISTIAN DIPL-ING
IPC: C23C8/12
Filed: 1989-07-31
Abstract: Corrosion damage to tubes made of copper or copper alloys by local pitting is usually triggered by the residues of drawing oil located on the inner surface and/or by oxide layers of poor adhesion. To achieve an especially high resistance of internally oxidised tubes to pitting or to prevent an uneven formation or detachment of the oxides located on the inner surface, according to the invention the thickness of the copper-oxide layer adhering to the basic metal is limited to values of between 0.01 and 0.2  mu m. Preferably, the copper-oxide crystals have a maximum grain size of 0.5  mu m and possess an oriented structure. The good adhesion of the copper-oxide layer formed on the inner surface of the tube preferably by continuous annealing is preserved even when the tubes have been subjected to a machining reducing their cross-section, for example by bending or drawing.

Title: Aligning clamp for shuttering systems
Inventor: SCHWANENKAMP WOLFGANG
IPC: E04G11/06
Filed: 1989-11-29
Abstract: In a known aligning clamp, the two claws (3, 4) are situated at a virtually invariable distance from one another which is adapted to the thickness of the outer crossbeams of shuttering-panel frames, so that the aligning clamp (1) is only suitable for holding together and mutually aligning directly abutting shuttering panels (14, 18). In contrast, the new aligning clamp is to be able to hold together and mutually align shuttering panels even when compensating pieces (16) are situated between the shuttering panels. In the new aligning clamp, one of the two claws (4) is mounted such that it is displaceable in the axial direction of the crossmember of the aligning clamp and fixable to this crossmember in a variable position. This design of the aligning clamp makes it possible roughly to preset the basic distance between the two claws, intended for drawing together and clamping shuttering panels, in accordance with the section to be bridged in each case, before the aligning clamp is attached to the shuttering panels to be drawn together and is tightened into the gripping position. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A convertible semiautomated sewing station runs and top stitches cuffs, collars, shirt flaps or decorative pieces. Instead of gripping the sewn fabric blanks as in the prior art, a presser arm pushes the fabric blanks against a work table (26) and slides the blanks from a loading guide (14) to a sewing head (16) and then to a transfer station (20). A pick up mechanism moves the sewn blanks from the transfer station to a station (22) where the sewn blanks are accumulated. Small apparel manufactures can convert the machine from producing cuffs to producing collars, pocket flaps or decorative pieces, or vice versa, in only a few minutes. The cycle time of the station is less than the prior art because the presser arm does not have to move the sewn blanks all the way to the accumulator station.
