Patent DE-4137282-A1 (DE)
Title: Tractor with sloping front engine cover for improved visibility - has shaped attachments to cover removed space for other uses without hindering normal driving visibility
Inventor: GERHARDS ALFRED DIPL ING
IPC: B62D25/10
Filed: 1991-11-13
Abstract: The front engine cover slopes downwards to the front of the vehicle (2) to enable the driver to operate the front hoist etc. When fitting other attachments such as seed drills, spraying tanks, these are shaped to take up the space vacated by the cut-down shape. This leaves the effective front cover horizontal and does not impede the visibility of the driver. The sloping shape enables a simple hopper tank shape to be used, for seed drills, manure spreading etc. The shaped attachments are fitted over the front cover and extends over its sides. They are supported on the fittings (12) for the front hoist. USE/ADVANTAGE - Improved visibility for front attachments on tractor, stable fitting.

Title: Water cooler - has coolant between inner and outer tubes, with water flowing over outer tubes, then down inside of inner tubes
Inventor: SLADKY HANS H
IPC: F28D3/04
Filed: 1992-08-30
Abstract: A water cooler has a group of tubes within a barrel (20), the pipes ending in tube plates at the top and bottom. The tubes are nested in pairs, the outer tube (6) of each pair projecting beyond the end of the inner tube (4). At the bottom, the chamber (14) between the tube plate for the inner tubes and that for the outer tubes is supplied with a coolant e.g. ammonia. The water is pumped into the barrel over the outer tubes, whereas the coolant is pumped up the annular spaces between tubes, extracting heat. The cooled water flows into the distributor space (18) between the top tube plates for inner and outer tubes and trickles down the inner tubes, thus giving up more heat to the coolant. ADVANTAGE - Compact design giving efficient cooling.

Title: Process for melting and draining glass, and melt channel or furnace for carrying out the process
Inventor: SCHELINSKI SIEGFRIED DR RER NA
IPC: C03B5/00
Filed: 1993-08-07
Abstract: Known process solutions for melting and draining or removing molten glass and glass-like materials, and melt channels or furnaces employed for this purpose do not allow process sections or furnace zones to be reduced to the necessary steps or to the necessary extent both for glass and also, for example, in the vitrification of residues, or only do so to an incomplete extent. The novel solution comprises forming a melt layer which is horizontal or slightly inclined in the flow direction and which is deflected at high temperature over a lip into the vertical direction and is resolved in a shaft into free-falling or free-flowing drops, strands or ribbons. It can be used for glass and also for glass-like materials which tend towards crystallisation, contain proportions of unmolten substances, have a steep viscosity/temperature profile and are substantially opaque to radiation.
