Abstract: The invention relates to a one-piece assembly of tubes which are laterally contiguous and fixed together. 
<??>An initial assembly is produced with the tubes where the tubes are laterally contiguous but not fixed together and the tubes are fixed together only at the two ends of the assembly or only at one end of the assembly. An apparatus for producing the assembly comprises means (7) for forming an assembly of tubes which are laterally contiguous but not fixed together, cutting means (10) for cutting this assembly transversely to the tubes and fixing means (10) for fixing together the ends of the tubes which are located in the cutting plane. 
<??>The multiple-tube assembly is especially useful for constituting the core of a panel or of a sandwich-construction.

Granted: 1991-09-18
Abstract: A pre-treatment of rough pigmentary mineral materials to eliminate the viscosifying effect of the swelling clays present in said materials used to condition said materials before refining them in an aqueous medium by abrasion or grinding. The method enables the production of refined pigmentary suspensions with a concentration of at least 75% by weight and low viscosity and stable over time. The pre-treatment agent is comprised of acid polymers and/or copolymers containing at least one carboxylate ethylenic monomer. Suspensions with high concentration of pigmentary mineral materials are prepared from the conditioned materials.

Abstract: The invention concerns the monomers composed of amino sugar alcohols whose primary or secondary amino group has been derivatized (derived) by an acryloyl or an methacryloyl function. The amino group can be linked to any carbon of five or six-carbon sugar alcohols. The general formula of the monomers is given below. <CHEM>   These monomers are synthesized by reacting the amino group of an sugar alcohol with an activated derivative of acrylic or methacrylic acid, such as acryloyl chloride or methacryloyl chloride. The monomers represented by the above shown general formula have been polymerized by a free radical polymerization, either alone or with other compounds and materials having polymerizable double bonds. The so formed polymers were linear or branched (cross-linked). The cross-linked poly- mers were formed when cross-linkers with two or more double bonds were present during polymerization, and in some cases when concentrated solutions of monomers were polymerized. The cross-linked polymers prepared were usually in the form of gels. The gels obtained were opaque or transparent, depending on the type and amount of the cross-linker. The gels have been polymerized in different form and shapes, i.e., beads, thin sheets, rods, blocks, etc. The most important application of these new type of gels was found in their use as separation media. The transparent gels were used as an anticonvective matrix in electrophoresis, whereas the opaque gels prepared in a bead form were used in chromatography.

Abstract: A braking modulator (50) for a tractor provided with a pneumatic braking system with spring parking-brake elements and a hand-operated distributor for operating the parking and emergency braking includes a body (51) defining an inlet chamber (22) which communicates with an inlet opening (11) connected to the outlet of the hand-operated distributor and with a passage (26) for discharge to atmosphere. A control member (47) has a blocking surface (61) exposed to the pressure supplied to the said opening (11). The control member is slidable in the inlet chamber (22) between a first position in which it shuts off the discharge passage (26) to enable communication between a further inlet opening (10) and a control chamber (33), when the supply pressure is supplied to the first mentioned inlet opening (11), and a second position in which it enables communication between the control chamber (33) and the discharge passage (26) and shuts off the said further inlet opening (10) of the body, when the pressure supplied to the first inlet opening (11) falls below a predetermined value, so as to prevent the overloading of the brakes.

Abstract: A binder made of a rigid covering case and containing an assemblage of envelopes constitutes a diskette file. The diskette file provides a secure receptacle suitable for storage of 10, 20, or any number of magnetic diskettes used on microcomputers. When the binder is open, an accordion-like assemblage of envelopes structure expands to form a fan of the diskettes stored in the envelopes. The top of each diskette in the fan of the open binder is revealed and a single diskette can be located and retrieved without having to manipulate any of the other diskettes in the file. The assemblage of envelopes is bound to the covering case. The case consists of 5 coupled and hinged sections; front, bottom, back, top and flap. The flap folds over and attaches to the front panel. When such a binder is closed, the book-like diskette file may contain a large number of diskettes in a well-protected, organized filing pattern suitable for cataloguing and storage in library book-shelf fashion.

Granted: 1993-03-31
Abstract: In a space divider element (1), cold-rolled sections made of sheet metal are envisaged as section supports (2) and cross-members (3), the flange plates (16), which serve for the suspension of the space divider plates (8) via suspension connections (10), of the section supports (2) being fastened to the one-piece section cross-piece (17) lying in between via one-piece form-fit members (30) which are formed in such a manner by means of bending tongues (31), which are punched out of the flange plates (16) and engage through punched openings, that the tongue bends of these bending tongues (31) form the lower limits of suspension openings for the mountings to be inserted through the plate joints (11). The cross-members (3) are designed practically identically in cross-section to the flange plates (16) and fastened in such a manner via cross-member connectors (13) inserted from outside that two cross-members (3), which lie opposite one another at a distance, form a cross-member connection and, between them and over the entire height of the section supports (2), a continuous insulation (9) can be provided. The suspension connections (10) are designed in such a manner that the space divider plates (8) are drawn with their inner sides against lips of joint seals (15) which are designed in one-piece with a joint cover (14), lying behind the respective joint (11), for the section support (2). The joint cover (14) can be broken through, by means of the respective mounting and with formation of lip seals, in the region of a predetermined breaking line in order to make accessible the suspension openings lying behind. Consequently, a particularly good heat-insulating and sound-insulating as well as stable mobile space divider is produced with simple construction, light weight and good mountability. <IMAGE>
