Date Mar. 2, 1995A compact safety switch comprises a housing having an axially sliding ram mounted therein. The lower end of the ram is in contact with an actuating rod of a switch, which is aligned with the ram. The upper end of the ram lies against a cam formed in the outer surface of an indexing wheel. A pre-tensioned helical spring surrounds the lower end of the ram for holding the ram in place. The indexing wheel is provided on one end of the cam with a radial notch for locking a key inserted into the keyway and at an opposite end of the cam with a resting notch. The safety switch further includes an interlocking mechanism having a stator located concentric to the ram and an armature integral with the ram. With the key inserted in the keyway, the armature is pushed out of the stator and the upper end of the ram is held in engagement with the resting notch. The key cannot be removed from the keyway at this time and is not released upon shutting of the machine, as the corresponding rotation of the indexing wheel is prevented by the ram. Only when the machine comes to a standstill is the stator energized and the ram lifted from the resting notch. The upper end of the ram proceeds to travel along the cam on its high side, causing the lower end of the cam to be pushed against the switch, thereby forcing the switching circuit in the control circuit of the machine open.

Abstract: This invention is particularly related to the technological field of external solar protections. Existing extendible sun blinds are provided with an adjusting system allowing an inclination of max. 45 DEG . This operation is to be performed separately for each of the two arms. The novelty consists in making the square bar (1) acting as a support for the arms (2) (with no adjusting system) no longer a static element, but a support capable of rotating around its own axis, thus allowing an inclination of up to 90 DEG . This result is obtained through a rotating device which directly operates the square bar (1) allowing the blind to be orientated. This innovation helps the final user of this product, who can obtain the best shielding depending on his/her own requirements, the seasonal period, or else according to the amount of solar irradiation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A separation process is described for separating a known material from a mixture of materials (which may contain unknown materials) using displacement chromatography. The process comprises passing a mixture of materials, including a known material to be recovered, dissolved in a liquid carrier, if necessary, through a first packed column and into a second packed column until all of the known material has passed through the first column and has been loaded onto the stationary phase packing in the second column. A displacement agent, capable of being more strongly bound on the stationary phase packing in the second column than the known material, is then passed through the second column to displace from that column all of the materials in the mixture less strongly bound than the known material, and then to displace the known material from the second column. The columns are then regenerated, preferably by passing a carrier directly through column 2 (in the forward direction of flow) and then passing the effluent from column 2 through column 1 in a reverse direction. The flow through column 2 is continued until all of the displacement agent has been removed from column 2. In one embodiment, a solvent is also counter flushed through the first column to dissolve any precipitates therein.
