Abstract: With the intention of providing an arm-rest which can be readily adjusted vertically and laterally and intended, for instance, for a toilet or lavatory seat, and which has but few movable parts, there is provided a positionally adjustable arm-rest which includes an arm-rest part and a frame-part, wherein one end (1) of the arm-support part is inserted together with two surrounding slide blocks (5) into the frame-part (3) such as to enable said arm-support part to be retained in its raised or lowered position. With the arm-rest in an essentially non-loaded state, the slide blocks (5) fix the arm-rest in a horizontal position and hold the arm-rest in this position. The end of the arm-rest also includes a pressure surface (6) which acts against the inner surface of the frame-part so that the arm-rest will not give way when subjected to load. The user can readily adjust the position of the arm-rest. All that is required in this regard is for the user to grip the arm-rest part and swing it slightly upwards while moving the same to the position desired. When the end of the arm-rest has been moved to the height desired, the arm-rest part is released and swung back. The arm-rest part is now fixed in position and can be subjected to load, by virtue of the pressure surface on said end of the arm-rest. Lateral adjustment of the arm-rest is achieved by virtue of the frame-part (3) resting on a rotatably adjustable floor plate (16), or being rotatably mounted to a wall structure.

Title: Forage harvester feed roll assembly designed for minimizing false tripping of a metal detector system
Inventor: AUGIE PATRICK
IPC: A01D75/18
Filed: 1997-05-15
Granted: 2000-08-01
Abstract: A forage harvester includes a feed roll assembly for feeding a mat of crop across a fixed shear bar located adjacent a rotating cutterhead for cooperating with the cutterhead knives to cut the mat of crop into lengths. The feed roll assembly includes front and rear lower feed rolls mounted in opposition to and for being contra-rotated relative to front and rear upper feed rolls. The upper feed rolls are carried by a downwardly biased link assembly that is pivotally mounted for permitting the upper feed rolls to move up and down relative to the lower feed rolls in response to varying amounts of crop passing between the lower and upper pairs of feed rolls. A metal detector is mounted within the lower front feed roll and normally operates to a generate a balanced field which extends into the crop feed zone above the lower front feed roll. When a foreign object made of magnetic material passes into the balanced field, it causes the field to become unbalanced resulting in the sending out of a trip signal which actuates a system for immediately stopping the drive to the feed rolls so as to prevent the foreign object from being fed into the cutterhead. Hardened rings are located on the upper front feed roll support shaft and they serve as the inner race for cup bearings used to rotatably support the upper front feed roll on the support shaft.

The method begins by establishing a data center, a first remote data entry point, and a second remote data entry point which has mailpiece production means. The first remote data entry point, the second remote data entry point, and/or the data center may be co-located. A set of parameters which define a mailpiece, a unit cost where known for each parameter, a destination for the mailpiece, and a choice of debiting or crediting a customer account are determined at the first remote data entry point. The parameters and known costs point are transmitted to the data center and to the second remote data entry point. The mailpiece is produced at the second remote data entry point and a unit cost for each of the mailpiece production and delivery elements is calculated at the second remote data entry point and transmitted to the data center. A total unit cost of the transaction is calculated at the data center and then converted to a transaction cost by multiplying the total unit cost by a currency conversion factor. The transaction cost is then entered into customer account database, a transaction database, and transmitted to the first remote data entry point; additionally, a billing statement is generated by the data center in respect of the transaction and a similar statement can be generated by the first remote data entry point for the benefit of the transaction initiator.

Title: Screw rotor set
Inventor: BECHER ULRICH
IPC: F04C2/16
Filed: 1997-07-21
Granted: 2007-10-02
Abstract: Known designs of single-thread screw rotors in single-piece cast iron constructions having wrap angles of > 720 degrees with balancing cavities on the face of the screw operate with no unbalance at average rotary frequencies of (~ 3000 min-1). The use of a pump in processes having sensitive purity and maintenance requirements or working with corrosive substances or where limited space is available and quality is demanded, brings about problems for rotor designing and balancing, which the present invention solves. An uneven mass distribution is accomplished by constructing the rotors with several single parts inside the rotor, by forming cavities and/or by choosing the adequate material, which, combined with the screw length/pitch ratio, cause a static and dynamic balancing. Screw rotors designed as described offer several advantages since they are easy to assemble and have a compact and stable construction.  Moreover, they can be used in pumps for the food industry, chemistry, medicine and semi--conductor construction due to the flexibility in material and to the smooth surfaces free from cavities.
