Inventor: GRAYSON JAMES M
IPC: F16D1/02
Filed: 1991-10-24
Abstract: A power takeoff adapter (30) extends a power shaft (10) such as the crankshaft of an engine. The adapter (30) has a pin portion (34) receivable in a complementary recess in the end (12) of the crankshaft (10). The end portion (42) of the pin portion (34) is threadably engaged in a complementarily threaded portion at the inner end of the recess, such that torque applied in operation tightens engagement between the adapter and the crankshaft which may have complementary tapered surfaces (44,40) between which the torque is directly transmitted. Alternatively, the pin portion may have an annular shoulder engaging the end surface of the crankshaft. The end face (28) of the crankshaft can be flush with the outer surface of the crankcase.

IPC: C23D5/04
Filed: 1992-01-17
Abstract: The invention relates to an enamel layer (5) deposited on a substrate (2). Enamel layers are deposited, for example, on metal sheets or electrically conducting substrates (2) for the purpose of electrical insulation. Air inclusions in the enamel layer reduce the insulating properties, with the result that the voltage breakdown strength is low. An enamel layer (5) according to the invention is intended to have high insulation properties and a high voltage breakdown strength at low thickness. According to the invention, the enamel layer (5), which is melted by supplying heat, is exposed to a reduced-pressure atmosphere. Air inclusions in the enamel layer (5) are consequently released so that the insulating properties and the voltage breakdown strength are increased. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In the case of a gas turbine plant, which essentially comprises a compressor (1), a high-pressure turbine (3), a low-pressure turbine (4) and a generator (5), a dynamic pressure source (2), which is located between the compressor (1) and the high-pressure turbine (3), is provided as combustion chamber. The dynamic pressure source (2) contains a cell rotor, the rotor cells of which form the actual combustion chamber. The rotor cells are continuously filled with a mixture of compressor air and fuel by means of auxiliary devices, and then ignited. On the basis of a fixed volume of the rotor cells filled with the mixture, isocore combustion occurs following ignition. Due to the fact that combustion takes place in a closed cell with a constant volume the efficiency of the system can be significantly increased. Both the supply of compressor air (7) to the dynamic pressure source (2) and the supplies of propellent gases (8, 9) to the specific turbine parts (3, 4) are direct without having to resort to a piping system. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are disclosed for separating or slitting a rigid material, in particular a piece of wood, having a modulus of elasticity of between 50,000 and 400,000 kg/cm2. A narrow tool having chip-removing elements, in particular a circular saw blade, produces a slot or kerf of finite width in the material at a cutting speed of more than 40 m/s. After the chip-removing elements having passed, a separator element bends a side piece out of the slot plane so that after the chip-removing elements have passed, the side piece is always at a distance from the tool. When viewed along the feed direction of the material, the separator element is provided with a hump at a distance from its periphery adjoining the tool and being first to come into contact with the material when the material is fed in. An imaginary connection line extending between the hump and the chip-removing elements is at a distance above a first portion of the separator element lying between the hump and the periphery.

Abstract: A swinging drawbar (32) is provided for a driven device, in particular for an agricultural vehicle or utility vehicle, in which drawbar (32) the coupling point can be adjusted to at least two different working lengths. In order to permit simple adjustment to different working lengths and to permit the coupling point to be conveniently seen from the driver's seat during the coupling process, optional locking means (86, 88, 110) which correspond to the different working lengths are attached at positions (78, 80, 82, 84) in such a way that during the longitudinal displacement of the swinging drawbar (32) automatic locking takes place when the selected working length is achieved. Preferably, a cartridge (22) is used which can be attached to the vehicle, and has transverse grooves (110) and into which the swinging drawbar (32) can be inserted. Locking noses (102, 104) which are formed onto claws (86, 88) engage in the transverse grooves (110). The claws (86, 88) can be mounted at different positions of the swinging drawbar (32).

Abstract: The value of the absolute seat height may be formed from the sum of a first, stationary basic component and a second, quasi-stationary regulation component. The value of the regulation component may be adjusted, independent of the weight of a person resting on the seat, in such a way that it takes on the value of a reference value that corresponds to the height of a person resting on the seat, at least on the average over time. Preferably, a regulation mechanism activates the height adjustment device in steps, in the form of activation steps. Preferably, the activation periods are furthermore increased or decreased by a time component, if the previous activation step caused an overly small or overly large lift.
