Title: A system for supplying tobacco to cigarette-making machines
Inventor: MARTIN MARIO
IPC: A24C5/39
Filed: 1989-12-06
Abstract: The system includes an overhead conveyor (1,2) including a guide rail (1) and a plurality of motor-­driven carriages (2). Each carriage (2) carries a container (7) having an outlet (7b) at its lower end with a shut-off device (8-11) which can be opened as a result of the coupling of the outlet (7b) with the loading hopper (27) of a cigarette-making machine (26). A loading station (12) is located in a fixed position near the conveyor rail (1) and includes discharge means (15-23) adapted to pour a predetermined quantity of tobacco into the container (7) of each carriage (2 ) . There is a resetting device (35) near the loading station (12) for reclosing the shut-off devices (8-11) for the outlets (7b) of the carriages (2). A control system (25, 25a) regulates the movement of the carriages (2) along the rail (1) between the loading station (12) and the cigarette-­making machines (26) in a predetermined manner.

Abstract: A refuse collection vehicle with several compartments has a split receptacle (3) receiving the refuse and with a loading and unloading device. The receptacle (3) is divided by one or more horizontal partitions (7) and/or vertical partitions (6). Both end regions (11, 12, 33, 48) of the vertical partition (6) are designed to be pivotable. The ratio between the length of the partition sections can be fixed as desired. The hydraulically pivotable end region of the partition (6) is designed as a swinging piston. A flap (20, 43) is assigned to the compartments on the loading side, it being possible for one or more of the compartments (8, 9, 10) to be filled depending on the position of the flap. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un dispositif purificateur d'eau portatif comprend une chambre de désinfection primaire (50) ainsi qu'une chambre de désinfection secondaire et un post-filtre (30). On peut puiser l'eau à purifier au moyen d'un couvercle (12), dans un réceptacle (90) contenant un milieu de pré-filtration (39) de préférence en carbone activé par de l'argent, situé en-dessous d'un tampon de filtration d'entrée grossier (102). A partir de ce réceptacle (90) l'eau entre dans la chambre de désinfection primaire (50), s'écoulant vers le bas à travers environ neuf segments (22) formant un passage, remplis d'un microbicide (56), afin de procéder à une désinfection primaire, c'est-à-dire de tuer un nombre sensible d'organismes pathogènes, mais probablement pas tous. Chaque passage (22) a une longueur trois fois supérieure à sa largeur, afin d'empêcher la canalisation de l'eau à travers le microbicide. Le désinfectant provenant du microbicide (56) entre dans l'eau à mesure qu'elle le traverse. L'eau contenant du désinfectant et provenant de la chambre de désinfection primaire (50) pénètre dans la chambre de désinfection secondaire et le post-filtre combinés (30) (''seconde chambre (30)'') en descendant par un tube central (44) afin d'être stockée, pendant disons deux minutes environ, afin de tuer les éventuels virus restants ainsi que tout autre organisme pathogène restant. Ensuite on renverse la seconde chambre (30), après quoi l'eau s'écoule à travers un milieu de charge (48) ou de préférence du carbone granulaire activé par de l'argent effectuant une post-filtration, éliminant sensiblement le désinfectant contenu dans l'eau, laquelle s'écoule de là dans un gobelet (10) servant à boire.

Abstract: Tôle, lame ou lamelle de métal (12) dont l'épaisseur peut varier entre 0.1 et 1 mm par exemple, pour produire une lame de couteau à usage unique, dont l'un des bords est doté par frottement d'un matériau de finition (16) d'une épaisseur de 0.1 à 4 mm. Ledit matériau de finition prolonge la tôle, lame ou lamelle et en recouvre la majeure partie. On peut produire la lame à peu de frais grâce à un procédé qui applique mécaniquement par frottement rotatif une couche (44) de matériau relativement dur sur le bord d'un substrat a) en empilant une série de tôles ou lames (12) pour former le substrat, b) en appliquant le matériau de finition (44) sur le bord du paquet de lames et c) en séparant chaque lame (12) du paquet traité. On obtient ainsi des substrats ayant sur l'un des bords une couche généralement coplanaire (16) fait dudit matériau de revêtement.

Abstract: In a method for the production of coagulated products, in particular food products obtained by the coagulation of dairy and similar products, the starting material coagulation step involves the heating of the material itself at least in part by indirect means. Preferably, such indirect heating is obtained by passing steam through a jacket or similar hollow space shrouding the coagulation container. The degree of coagulation of the finished product may be controlled by the regulation of the quantity of heat transmitted directly or indirectly to the starting material.

Abstract: The brake system (10) has a master brake cylinder (12) for generating braking pressure in the two wheel brakes (18 and 19) of a brake circuit (I). In a main brake line (14) common to both wheel brakes (18 and 19) is a first 2/2-way valve (20), which permits passage in the event of braking initiated by the driver. In each of the parallel wheel brake lines (25 and 26) is a second 2/2-way valve (27 and 28). The way valves (27 and 28) having a throttling action are switched into the passage position by a control unit (52) of a device (51) for preventing wheel locking and the way valve (20) in the main brake line (14) into the closed position if there is a risk of a vehicle wheel locking. The device (51) is of low cost in terms of 2/2-way valves and brings about a retarded rise in pressure in the wheel brakes (18, 19) in antilock operation.

Abstract: A heat exchange system comprises an inner pipe (6) of heat conductive material connected at one end to a supply of cold water at mains pressure, and at the other end to a hot water delivery system. Extending around the inner pipe (6) is an outer pipe (8), through which a primary supply of heated water is fed by a pump (P1). As cold water flows through the pipe 6 in one direction, and heated water flows through the pipe (8) around the pipe (6) in the opposite direction, heat is transferred to the cold water supply. 
     In improve heat transfer efficiency, helical formations are provided within the pipe (6) to cause the cold water to rotate (spin) about the longitudinal axis of the pipe as it travels from the inlet to the outlet, causing the colder, heavier component to move radially outwardly into contact with the inner walls of the pipe (6), whilst formations within the pipe (8) cause a similar rotational movement of the heated water, causing the colder component thereof to flow radially outwardly under the action of centrifugal forces, and for warmer component to flow radially inwardly into contact with the outer surface of the pipe (6), maximising the temperature differential across the pipe (6) and thus heat transverse efficiency. 
     The invention may alternatively be used in a refrigeration system.
