Filed: 2006-06-13
Abstract: This device comprises a cleaning head (1) being fitted with an alternately suctioning valve arrangement and provided with an elastic sliding base (2) being freely rotatable in its plane. A characterizing feature of this device lies in the fact that the valve arrangement comprises a freely moving, ball-shaped valve member (3) and a second valve member being formed by a piston (6) with a Venturi arrangement. These two valve members are related to each other by means of an articulated shaft (9 and 10) and are thus fit to alternately act on the main suction pipe (5) and on the tubular attachment (7) being laterally connected to the main pipe. An also characterizing feature lies in the fact that the sliding base (2) has a generally triangular shape as well as transversal folds (14) being provided in the corner regions (13) and an upwardly extending skirt (15) being provided around its periphery.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, un ensemble de vis à os polyaxiale comprend un corps de tige filetée pourvue d'une structure de capture supérieure, un récepteur et un dispositif de retenue à surfaces sphériques interne et externe. Le dispositif de retenue est compressible, il présente une ouverture dotée de deux extrémités qui peuvent être pressées l'une contre l'autre. Le récepteur possède un berceau en forme de U qui forme un canal de réception d'une tige de fixation rachidienne. Le canal du récepteur communique avec une cavité partiellement formée par une surface sphérique et dotée d'une ouverture restrictive qui permet de charger la structure de capture et le dispositif de retenue comprimé dans le récepteur, mais empêche le passage de l'ensemble de la structure de capture/du dispositif de retenue hors du récepteur. Ce dispositif de retenue est chargé simultanément au niveau inférieur avec la structure de capture de tige par compression l'une vers l'autre des extrémités ouvertes dudit dispositif de retenue et autour d'un col de la tige de vis à os, le dispositif de retenue rebondissant en retour de façon résiliante pour adapter une forme arrondie, après insertion dans le récepteur. Les surfaces sphériques du dispositif de retenue correspondent, de façon coulissante, au récepteur et à la structure de capture, ce qui engendre une articulation polyaxiale multiple ou composée.

Abstract: This invention relates to apparatus for connecting a battery plate to a metal strap or post or to moulds therefor. In contrast to existing arrangements lead is fed to the feed passage 17 via an opening 20 which is positioned immediate the ends of the aligned cavities in the set 14 of the mould. This arrangement enables the cavities to be fed with lead at approximately the same time and hence the dip of the lugs into the cavities can be optimised without any significant difficulties. In itself this substantially increases productivity. It has also been found that up to three batteries can be cast simultaneously, particularly if bypasses 16c are used for fine tuning the lead supply.
