Title: Ester-containing polyalkylenes
Inventor: NAIMAN MICHAEL I
IPC: C08F8/00
Filed: 1983-02-24
Abstract: Polyalkylenes which contain ester groups, and are useful as pour- point depressants for fuel oils, are prepared by reacting a halogenated polyalkylene with a salt of a carboxylic acid to at least partially replace the halogen with the carboxylic acid residue.

IPC: B65B69/00
Filed: 1984-05-03
Abstract: Apparatus for a process of recovering e.g. cigarettes from faulty flip-top packets includes a rotary sorter (II) having a hopper (13) for depositing the packets on a turntable (12) having a stationary spiral guide wall associated therewith, friction between moving packets and the wall (26) orienting the packets for onward feeding in a direction lengthwise of the packets to a first slitter (33). The first slitter makes shallow cuts in the bottom face of a packet along each side of the packet which is then conveyed. without turning, to a second slitter (45), the latter functioning to slit the bottom face transversely to intersect the first slits. The aforesaid slits render the flip-top portion of the packet detachable from the rest of the packet so the cigarettes and the packaging fragments can thereafter be separated readily, e.g. in a rotary, inclined screening drum (VI) having slats spaced apart sufficiently to pass cigarettes only. The slitters are arranged to make slits too shallow to cut into the product. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An original document with plural picture areas to be reproduced in different processing modes is photoelectrically scanned (101) and displayed on a monitor CRT. The entire area of the original is divided by lines parallel to the axes into a plurality of areas by keyboard signals. X-address data and Y-address data, which designate the lines, are stored in a register. Codes representing the areas and control data designating the processing modes are stored in a memory. The X-address data and Y-address data are compared (112, 113, 116, 117) with the scanning address to provide coded data identifying the divided areas as each is entered. From the coded data, control data designating the corresponding processing modes are obtained and stored in the memory. The original picture is then reproduced in the respective processing modes, on the basis of the control data. Change of scale may be included in the reproduction. <IMAGE>

Title: Friction clutch with disengageable snap connection
Inventor: RIESE HANS-WALTER
IPC: F16D23/14
Filed: 1985-04-18
Abstract: A friction clutch has a snap connection for the transmission of a pull release movement. The snap connection consists of a tube piece with spring tongues 13 which engage in a ring 17 which is fixedly arranged on the release elements, e.g. levers or diaphragm fingers of the clutch. The spring tongues 13 slide inward with taper 15 on a taper 24 and engage behind the edge 18. The groove 19 forming the edge 18 is elongated and contains an axially and radially loose sleeve 20. To release the snap connections, further push-in movement of the spring tongues 13 causes the tapered ends of the tongues to slide into the sleeve 20 and thus take this sleeve with them until ends 22 on the tongues abut an edge 21 of a circlip 23. Following each abutment, an extraction movement is carried out in the direction of the arrow G. <IMAGE>

Title: A coil body for a high-voltage winding
Inventor: WORZ PAUL
IPC: H01F27/32
Filed: 1986-02-07
Abstract: A coil body for a high-voltage winding has the form of a hollow cylinder with circumferential groove- like winding chambers 4 defined by partition walls 5. The chambers 4 contain windings 6 connected in series. For the winding wire 7 to pass from one chamber to another, an opening 8 is provided whose depth (t) is smaller than the height (h) of the partition wall. The wire passes through the opening from the region of the upper edge of the partition wall to the base area, with the wire supported by a supporting face 11, whose height (a) gradually decreases. The supporting face is formed by reducing the wall thickness towards the opening on either side thus providing an optimum passage of the winding wire 7 through the opening 8, even if winding is carried out mechanically. <IMAGE>

Title: An exhaust gas disposal system
Inventor: FLEISCHER HORST
IPC: B08B15/00
Filed: 1986-03-13
Abstract: An exhaust gas disposal system, for a tunnel through which vehicles can be driven, comprises an extraction duct (9) which is located above the vehicle (3) and follows the direction of the traffic lane and to which the exhaust gas (5) is conducted from the vehicle via a transfer pipe (8) which is shuttle-shaped in cross-section. The transfer pipe (8) slides through a pair of sealing lips (11) which seal a longitudinal slot (10) on the underside of the extraction duct (9). To reduce friction between the sealing lips (11) and transfer pipe (8) the non-rigid and flexibly designed sealing lips (11) are firstly held together magnetically by embedded magnetic strips (13, 13') with different polarities and secondly expanded magnetically by magnetic forces of the opposite polarity on the transfer pipe (8). According to a modified embodiment, the sealing lips (11) are expanded pneumatically in the contact area by an air jet arrangement integrated in the transfer pipe. An air gap between the sealing lips and transfer pipe allows ambient air having a cooling effect to be sucked in and a cushion of air to built up. <IMAGE>
