Abstract: An envelope sealing and feeding device has upper and lower interfitting parts (10, 20) defining a reservoir for a liquid to be used in the sealing operation and a substantially horizontal slot through which an envelope (A) to be sealed can be fed. These parts co-operate with a wetter assembly (30) which includes a wetter blade (38B) extending across the slot and a tubular structure (36) containing wicking material (38D) and extending substantially vertically downwardly through the upper part (10) and into the liquid reservoir. 
     With this arrangement, replacement of the wetter assembly (30) is made easier. Assembly and dis-assembly of the relevant parts of the machine in order to obtain access to the interior of the liquid reservoir can be done without difficulty. The upper and lower parts (10, 20) can be joined together readily merely by using two bolts or screws (22A), and once joined the wetter assembly (30) can be added easily due to the simple structure, which allows easy preparation of the sub-assembly consisting of parts 34, 38 and 39 and then straightforward insertion of a tubular structure (36) thereof in a slot (15) in the upper part (10). In addition, attachment of the envelope sealer-feeder device onto a postage meter is made particularly easy by the use of a bracket (26).

Abstract: Floor outlet or drain that contains a housing (29) placed in the floor for the connection of outlet pipings and sewer net. Between the floor drain housing (29) and the outlet pipe a wall or lip extends up from the bottom, in order to dam up water to a water trap. In the water drain housing a floor drain insert that in its entirety is numbered (25) is lowered. An unsymmetrical funnel part (28) transcend into a cylindrical vertical tube piece (31) constituting the upper trap lip. In the piece of tubing (31) is arranged a seat (34) for a ball (33) below. The level (30) of the water trap keeps the ball (33) up towards the seat (34). The specific weight of the ball or the height of the seat above the water surface is however so chosen or adjusted, possibly by water being pumped into the ball that merely some centimeter of water column above the ball is capable of pushing this aside so that the water easily can flow down through the floor drain. Through the funnel part (28) extends sealingly a cylindricaly or tube shaped connecting part (27) that even this extends down below the water level (30). To this tubing (26) can for instance bathtub, wash basin or the like sealingly be connected.

Abstract: Un appareil de mesure de la rugosité de surface utilise des images de diffraction provenant de la surface mesurée. Les énergies des différents ordres sont détectées et traitées à l'aide de différents algorithmes en fonction d'un certain nombre de facteurs tels que par exemple, le nombre d'ordres dans l'image de diffraction et l'asymétrie de l'image de diffraction. Diverses fonctions de filtre à la fois pour l'image de diffraction elle-même et pour des valeurs de rugosité de surface après mesure sont décrites. Un algorithme pour mesurer la rugosité de surface consiste à comparer des valeurs représentant les ordres d'énergie avec des valeurs de référence, de préférence des valeurs de référence obtenues par une opération d'interpolation entre une série de valeurs de référence représentatives d'une image de diffraction provenant d'une surface symétrique et une autre série représentative d'une image de diffraction provenant d'une surface asymétrique.

Abstract: Procédé de garnissage d'un tuyau usagé (1) avec une garniture en plastique (20) qui évite d'avoir à creuser un trou à l'emplacement du raccord souterrain (2) entre le tuyau (1) et une canalisation (3). Ceci s'effectue par injection d'un matériau d'étanchéité coulant dans l'espace annulaire situé entre la garniture (20) et le tuyau (1) pour que le matériau d'étanchéité s'étende à proximité du raccord (2). Pour éviter que le matériau d'étanchéité ne pénètre dans la canalisation (3), on détecte son avance quand il s'approche du raccord (2) au moyen d'un détecteur à capacité (81) situé à l'intérieur de la garniture sur un support souple allongé (69). On exécute ce processus avec la canalisation (3) remplie de gaz, un bouchon amovible (67) destiné à la garniture se logeant dans un élément d'extrémité (62) et étant ensuite capturé par un connecteur (68) situé sur le support (69) et retiré à travers la garniture. Le détecteur (81) permet également de placer correctement la garniture avant l'injection du matériau d'étanchéité, en position axiale par rapport au tuyau (1) en fonction du type de raccord.

Abstract: The invention relates to an elastic mounting. Such mountings are used for vibration-damping mounting of internal-combustion engines, but have the disadvantage that the elastomer block 6 sinks as a result of creeping processes and the engine shaft and the driven shaft are no longer aligned. In order to check and readjust the height level of the mounting, the central attachment screw 7 is provided according to the invention with a central hole 14 through which a threaded bolt 15 is inserted until it is seated on the base. The screw cap 18 is screwed onto the threaded bolt 15, by means of the thread 16 until it is seated without play on the component 2. If the component 2 is displaced by creeping of the elastomer block 6, there is play between the screw cap 18 and the component 2 and, according to the invention, this indicates that the height level of the mounting must be readjusted by means of the height adjusting part 10, but no labour-intensive replacement of the mounting is necessary. <IMAGE>
