Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatic charging apparatus for cigarette making machines consisting of a trough mounted on cams rotating in a vertical plane. The object is to increase the charging rate of such an apparatus and, as required, always to make cut tobacco available in a sufficient quantity and in a thoroughly mixed, loosened state for a relatively large number of high-performance machines. This is achieved by means of a mounting (16) of the round trough (1) on at least the three cams (14) of identical eccentricity at a uniform radial distance from the centre (9) of the trough. In this design, the trough performs an upward and downward movement with a superimposed oscillating rotational movement, so that a fluidised bed is generated and rotational conveying is achieved, uniform distribution of tobacco in the trough and hence rapid closure of holes in the tobacco being guaranteed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a railway goods wagon with an underframe (5) which is borne by sets of running gear and has an essentially level loading platform (1) and longitudinal beams (6) which are constructed as fish beams in the region between the sets of running gear (7), and the loading space is bounded by end walls (2) which are permanently connected to the underframe (5), a roof shell (3) and side walls which consist of sliding wall components (4), which can be displaced and swivelled out, or by raisable, swivelling-out entire wall components which can be displaced one on top of the other and form the roof and the side walls. The object of the invention consisted in finding a possible way, for a railway goods wagon of the type mentioned at the beginning, of using the sliding wall components and entire wall components, which bound the loading space, to transmit horizontal and vertical forces in the closed state of the railway goods wagon. This object is achieved in that the sliding wall components (4) or the entire wall components, in the closed position, are clamped at their end wall-side longitudinal ends at the top in their vertical region to the end wall (2) and at their longitudinal end facing the longitudinal centre of the wagon are clamped at the bottom to the underframe (5) in a positively engaging fashion and the sliding wall components or entire wall components are constructed in their vertical area between the clamped attachment to the end wall (2) and the clamped attachment to the underframe (5) so as to transfer tensile forces and pressure forces. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An automatic scan tracking helically scanning data recorder in which data is written on to magnetic recording tape along with data retrieval information by means of a rotating scanner assembly (24) forming part of the recorder as the recording tape (26) moves at a given recording speed in co-operative engagement with the scanner assembly. Data is normally retrieved from the recording tape along with the data retrieval information by means of the rotating scanner assembly as the recording tape moves longitudinally at the same given recording speed. In operation, the rotating scanner assembly of the recorder retrieves data and data retrieval information from a segment of the recording tape while the latter is not moving, that is, during a period when the tape is stationary for enabling adjustment of the read head position relative to the track depending on the evaluation of the data resulting from the stationary tape read. Provision is also made for causing the rotating scanner to retrieve data retrieval information from a segment of the recording tape while the latter is accelerating from a still state to its given recording state, with subsequent evaluation of the data and adjustment based on the results. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention décrit un appareil de modification d'images vidéo qui sépare les aspects verticaux et horizontaux de la modification d'images. Des pixels se rapportant à une image d'entrée dérivée d'une image de film sont échantillonnés à une fréquence prédéterminée en fonction d'une vitesse de balayage de film et à une norme de ligne télévisuelle, et le flux de données de pixels est coordonné par l'intermédiaire d'une section mémoire, par des signaux de commande d'écriture et de lecture. Une mémoire d'image (14), qui mémorise des données de pixels d'image correspondant à au moins une image de film, comprend une sortie de ligne et des entrées d'adresse servant à sélectionner une position de début de ligne et une valeur d'augmentation d'avance de ligne. Afin d'obtenir la séparation spatiale sus-mentionnée, une mémoire de ligne (22), qui est sensible à la sortie de ligne de la mémoire d'image afin de mémoriser au moins une ligne de données de pixels d'image, comprend une sortie de pixel et des entrées d'adresse permettant de sélectionner une position de début de pixel et une valeur d'augmentation d'avance de pixel. Les lignes et les pixels sont répétés autant de fois qu'il est nécessaire pour produire des effects de zoom et de panoramique, lorsqu'on adresse de manière approprié la mémoire d'image pour effectuer des répétitions verticales, et la mémoire de ligne pour effectuer des répétitions horizontales. De nouveaux pixels d'image sont alors générés par un dispositif d'interpolation spatiale (16) sensible à la sortie de pixels de la mémoire de ligne.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for feeding and tensioning a strap (12) in a power strapping machine comprises a strap feeding mechanism (30), a strap tensioning mechanism (40), and a pivoting roller carriage (50) pivoted by a feeding and tensioning cam (70). The pivoting roller carriage (50) is first pivoted in one direction to move feed rollers (32, 34) together to engage a portion of a strap (12) and feed the strap (12) toward a strap application assembly where the strap is formed in a loop about an object or group of objects. The strap feeding and tensioning mechanism (10) actuates a first gripper (not shown) that secures an end of the strap in the strap application assembly. The pivoting roller carriage (50) then is pivoted to the opposite direction to move tension rollers (42, 44) together to engage a portion of the strap (12) and apply a tension to the looped strap. The strap feeding and tensioning apparatus (10) also actuates a second gripper (not shown) that secures the tensioned strap in a closed loop about the package so that the strap application assembly may form a strap joint sealing the strap in the closed loop. In the event that the strap (12) is not properly engaged by the first gripper, the strap will be fully retracted from the strap application assembly by the strap tensioning mechanism and the strap will be directed into a strap stretch-out housing (21) where it will remain until the strap feeding mechanism (30) again engages a portion of the strap (12) and re-feeds the strap toward the strap application assembly. The weight and position of the strap disposed in the strap stretch-out housing (21) prevents the strap from withdrawing entirely from the strap feeding mechanism (30) thereby ensuring that the strap feeding mechanism (30) will engage and re-feed the strap (12) to the strap application assembly automatically.

Abstract: A two stroke crosshead engine is designed as a V-engine with the cylinders positioned in two parallel rows. The connecting rods (9) of two neighbouring cylinders positioned each in their row are journalled side by side on a common pin (10). The crossheads (8) are guided in the transverse direction of the engine by means of guide shoes (15) journalled on a crosshead pin (13) and sliding along guide planes (18). The guide planes extend throughout the major part of the height between the bed plate (2) and the cylinder section (4) and are supported by transverse walls (19) of the frame box. The crosshead bearings (12) of two neighbouring cylinders are displaced in relation to each other in the longitudinal direction of the engine, and the displacement is absorbed either in the crosshead pin, in the guide planes or in the transverse walls.
