Abstract: During operation, the concentrator plane (3) and the stone extraction plane (4) are made to vibrate. Air is extracted at (19). The air which flows through the concentrator plane (3) fluidises the granular material which is let in through the feed (13) so that it flows off uniformly in an inclined direction. Components with a large specific weight collect on the underside, components with a low specific weight collect on the upper side of the stream. The components with a large specific weight drop down in the drop-through area (7). Components with a low specific weight move towards the light fraction outlet (14). As they drop downwards, the components with a large specific weight are braked by the airstream in the compartments (10), but cannot flow off in the inclined direction because of the transverse webs (11). They are therefore swirled in the compartments before they drop through openings of the second flow mask (9). By means of this swirling, a uniform turbulent airstream through the first flow mask (8) is ensured. As a result, disturbance to the coating of the granular material stream is avoided. In addition, since the uniform charging of the stone separating plane (4) is achieved, the stone separating process is improved. <IMAGE>

Ledit appareil comprend un collecteur d'admission (12) à plusieurs étages ainsi qu'une pluralité de détecteurs (14, 16, 18, 20). Le collecteur d'admission divise un échantillon global en une pluralité d'échantillons partiels sensiblement identiques. Chacun de ces échantillons partiels pénètre dans l'un des détecteurs dont les fonctions se chevauchent, et est entrecoupé par un faisceau incident (50, 52) pour définir un volume analysé. Les particules situées dans les échantillons partiels dispersent la lumière lorsqu'elles traversent le volume analysé. La lumière dispersée se dirige vers un photodétecteur (non représenté) qui produit un signal dont les caractéristiques correspondent à la lumière captée. La détection des particules situées dans chaque volume analysé s'effectue de manière autonome, mais les informations sont rassemblées pour donner un décompte total de particules dans l'échantillon global.

Date Feb. 6, 1992.The bin grabbing nipper (22) of a refuse loader arm is held at a constant angle to limb (15) by a parallelogram linkage having pivots (26, 17, 19, 25). Thus, pivoting of limb (15) leads directly to inversion of the raised bin and no separate operation of a special bin tilting ram is required to bring a bin to dumping position. The nipper consists of two opposed, jointed fingers which are separately pivoted to a wrist member (21). All finger joints and wrist joints of the nipper are pivoted by separate hydraulic cylinders supplied by a common source. By sensing back-pressure in each cylinder they can be made to exert equal force. Pivoting at limb joints (17) and (19) is by opposed hydraulic cylinders acting on a rack meshing with a gear wheel. Both these joints may be controlled by a single joystick.

Abstract: Bande révélant une ouverture frauduleuse destinée à être utilisée sur un récipient. Le brevet U.S. No 4.876.123 a trait à une bande révélant une ouverture frauduleuse destinée à fixer une première partie d'un récipient à une seconde partie d'un récipient pour fermer une ouverture du récipient. La bande comprend un film monocouche transmetteur de lumière possédant une première et une deuxième surface principale opposées. Pour préparer la bande, il est nécessaire d'imprimer les indices en couleur de la première surface et les indices en couleur de la deuxième surface de manière que les indices s'opacifient en l'absence d'ouverture frauduleuse. Cette nécessité pose problème car il faut une inscription parfaite et une bonne adaptation des couleurs de l'encre des indices et du colorant ou du pigment de l'adhésif. La présente invention a trait à une bande (10) révélant une ouverture frauduleuse comprenant un film (12) monocouche transmetteur de lumière possédant une première et une deuxième surface principale opposées (20, 24). Sur chaque surface des indices en couleur (22, 26), de préférence identiques, sont imprimés de manière que les indices en couleur sur chaque surface opacifient les indices en couleur de la surface opposée quand le film n'a pas été séparé intérieurement, mais aucun des indices n'opacifie un autre indice quand le film a été séparé intérieurement. La configuration d'impression de la présente invention n'exige plus une concordance précise entre les indices en couleur de la première et de la deuxième surface, et n'exige plus une adaptation des couleurs de l'encre et de l'adhésif.

Abstract: A laundry stand which can be clamped between ceiling 1 and floor 2 has a central upright tube 3 with an outer tube 4 and with an inner tube 5 displaceable therein. The inner tube 5 is supported on the ceiling 1 via a compression spring 13. For bracing and locking the upright tube between the ceiling 1 and floor 2, there is a clamping lever 18 which is mounted on the outer tube 4 so as to be pivotable about an axis 20 extending transversely relative to the longitudinal axis of the upright tube 3 and which has, on its basic body 21 with a cylindrical outer face, some tooth-like projections 23 which come into engagement with tooth spaces 24 of a rack 19 attached to the inner tube 5, when the clamping lever 18 is rotated in the clockwise direction. The inner tube 5 is thereby pushed upwards, the compression spring 13 being compressed. In its end position, the clamping lever 18 catches in a blocking nose 28 of a resilient catch device 25. After the catch device has been released, the spring 13 presses the inner tube 5 downwards, with the result that the clamping lever 18 is pivoted and the tooth-like projections 23 come out of engagement. The inner tube 5 can then be pushed freely into the outer tube 4. <IMAGE>
