Title: Drinking valve for small animals
Inventor: ERBE SIEGFRIED
IPC: A01K39/02
Filed: 1993-02-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a drinking valve (12) for small animals, in particular for chickens, having a valve housing (14) which exhibits a controllable water throughflow channel (42). At its first end the valve housing (14) can be connected, in terms of flow, to a water pipeline (10) and, furthermore, there projects from a second end of the valve housing (14) a valve actuating pin (26) which can be actuated by an animal, in particular can be tilted and/or longitudinally displaced, and is approximately vertical in the use position. Furthermore, there is arranged in a widened housing interior (20) a valve seal element (22) which can move under the force of gravity, to which, on the water-discharge side, there is assigned a stationary, annular valve seal seat (24) and which, when the valve actuating pin (26) is manipulated, can be raised from its valve seal seat (24) in an opening manner. A drop catcher (30) is arranged at the free end of the valve actuating pin (26). The invention proposes that, at its end on the underside in the use position, the drop catcher (30) is designed with at least one depression which is suitable for collecting water. This results in an improved and more reliable water-catching action and good accessibility for an animal which comes to drink. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a motor drive for medium tension (medium voltage) switching devices and switchgear having a switching spring (2) (which essentially engages on an operating shaft (1) and can be moved through a dead-centre position) and a drive which acts on the operating shaft, with float, via a transmission and a coupling (clutch). It achieves the object of being able to arrange such a motor drive in a space-saving manner while designing it such that it can be operated by hand when it is at the same time decoupled from the motor. This object is achieved in that a transmission element is at the same time constructed as a coupling element with an amount of float which can be predetermined, and the coupling elements can be decoupled by means of an operating element (22) by means of which the operating shaft can at the same time be rotated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An impact absorber for a legged mobile robot (1) absorbs impacts arising when the robot (1) collides with objects in its walking environment, to protect both the robot and object. The impact absorber may comprise an air filled balloon (70) disposed around the robot body (24). When the balloon comes into contact with an object (100), it is deflated through valves (76) to absorb the impact arising from the contact. The impact absorber could also comprise a cylinder (86d) fixed to a leg (2) of the robot, and a piston head (86a) slidably disposed in the cylinder (86d) to define a chamber (86h) which is filled with oil. A flat member (88) is fixed to the rod (86b) of the piston head (86a) and when the member (88) comes into contact with an object (100), the piston head (86a) is thrust further into the cylinder (86d) to absorb the impact. The impact absorber could also be a resilient material coated around the robot so as to cushion the impact when the robot (1) comes into contact with an object, or could comprise air bags.

Abstract: Polymer and wood composite structural members are manufactured by extruding and injection moulding a composition comprising polyvinyl chloride, wood fibre and optionally a concentration of an intentionally added waste stream. Such structural members have strength, workability, fastener retention, resistance to rot and insect attack, and thermal properties sufficient to constitute an advanced composite wood replacement material. The advanced structural member can be used as a component in construction of any structure requiring sized lumber or specifically shaped wood products. In such an application, the structural members can be extruded in the shape of commonly available lumber. The structural members of the invention can also be extruded in complex shapes adapted to the assembly of windows and doors used in both residential and commercial structures. The structural members have a modulus, a coefficient of thermal expansion, a coefficient of elasticity, a compressive strength and other related properties ideal for use as a replacement for either metal or wood, window or door structural components. The preferred structural member is manufactured from a polyvinyl chloride and wood fibre composite that optionally contains an intentionally recycled impurity component. Such components comprise waste materials common in the manufacture of wood doors and windows. The cooperation between the amount of polymer material, the amount of an oriented wood fibre, and control over water content results in improved structural properties.

Abstract: The fuseholder (50) includes a current limiting fuse mounted within a fuse body (52) and a lower contact and hinge assembly (58). The fuse body has contact assemblies (54,58) mounted on each end thereof. The lower contact assembly on the fuse body is mounted on a hinge (35) which is rotatably supported on an interchangeable cutout mounting (10). The current limiting fuse includes a fuse element spirally wound around a spider which extends the length of the fuse body. The fuse element includes a high current fusible element and a low current fuse element. The fusible element includes a plurality of spaced reduced areas and is supported on the spider by support surfaces which are located between adjacent reduced areas of the fusible element. An auxiliary wire also extends the length of the fuse body about the spider. The hinge includes a hinge member (60) rotatably mounted on the interchangeable cutout mounting, a connective member supporting the contact assemblies and fuse body with current limiting fuse, and a latch (62,66) for latching the hinge member to the connective member (64) in a contracted position. The latch is connected to a trigger wire attached to the lower end of the auxiliary wire to maintain the hinge and connective members in their contracted position. Upon the melting of the trigger wire due to a current overload, the trigger wire releases the latch thereby allowing the connective member to move to an extended position with respect to the hinge member such that the current limiting fuse drops out of the interchangeable cutout mounting.
