Abstract: This invention relates to a wet cleaning suction nozzle comprising at least one suction opening (22) facing the floor and communicating with a nozzle outlet tube (12), at least one scraper blade (24) which is placed in front of and behind the suction opening as seen in the direction of movement of the nozzle the lower ends of the scraper blade abutting the floor when the nozzle is used. The suction opening (22) is permanently placed closer to the floor than the fastening points (23) of the scraper blades in the nozzle. The nozzle is used on hard as well as soft floors without being converted and the nozzle comprises one or several distance means (31) preventing the nozzle opening (22) from touching the floor when the nozzle is used on a hard floor but which admits the suction opening to abut the floor when the nozzle is used on a soft floor.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système de pare-chocs (26) pour kart, qui comprend plusieurs sections (34). Chaque section (5) a une rigidité suffisante pour qu'un déplacement de l'une transmette le mouvement à d'autres. Le système comprend aussi plusieurs amortisseurs de chocs (38), par exemple des éléments en caoutchouc intercalés entre les sections de pare-chocs et le châssis (22). Par conséquent, un impact en n'importe quel point est transmis dans tout le système de pare-chocs, de telle façon que tous les amortisseurs (38) participent à l'absorption de cet impact au lieu que cela ne soit fait que par ceux qui sont directement voisins du point d'impact. Pour le système de pare-chocs arrière (26), il y a des guides de déplacements transversaux (42) pour supporter une section de pare-chocs arrière (346) et pour maintenir les différentes sections de pare-chocs dans un plan horizontal par rapport au châssis tout en permettant les mouvements horizontaux nécessaires, qu'ils soient longitudinaux ou latéraux. Un système de pare-chocs avant (30) présente une section de pare-chocs avant (238) et un élément porteur (242) reliés au moyen de pivots (246, 250). Les amortisseurs (254) sont montés entre le châssis principal (22) et la section de pare-chocs (238) ou l'élément porteur (242).

Abstract: In an arrangement for the connection of two or more terminals (1, 1') to one subscriber line (3) the terminals (1, 1') are connected to a chain so that the connection from the subscriber line (3) to a terminal (1) is further branched (13) to the next terminal (1'), and the arrangement according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises means (18, 20) to detect whether the terminal (1) and the next terminal (1') are in the operating state or in the idle state; a controllable switch (12, 14) for each terminal (1, 1') connected to the subscriber line (3) in order to connect the corresponding terminal (1, 1') to the subscriber line (3) and disconnect it from the line; and means (18, 20) to independently control the switch (12, 14) corresponding to each terminal (1, 1') depending on which states are detected for the terminals (1, 1'). Thus it is possible, when required, to cut off the current from the subscriber line (3) in order to disconnect the connection. In order to detect the operating state of the next terminal (1') it is preferable to provide the connection (13) to it with a current meter or detector (20). With the invention one is always able to use a second terminal (1') when desired, e.g. a telephone, which is connected behind a first terminal (1), e.g. a modem. The second terminal (1') will not require any special design and it must not necessarily be able to be connected in a chain.

Abstract: A body (1) has a front side member (2) and a side sill (3) connected
thereto. The side sill (3) is disposed outwardly of and below the
front side member (2) in the width and height directions of the body.
At a junction (3A) between the front side member (2) and the side sill (3),
a reinforcement member for reinforcing the junction is provided.
The reinforcement member (15) has a longitudinal wall and front and
rear walls extending in the body width direction and functioning
as bulkheads, and permits the junction (3A) to resist a bending
moment caused by an impact force applied to the front of the
body and acting on the junction in the backward, upward and
inward directions of the body (Fa). Especially at the time of offset
crash (A), the body restrains a deformation of the side sill and
decreases a recession of a front pillar (1A), to thereby reduce a
deformation of a passenger cabin.

Abstract: In a grain harvester having apparatus for measuring the moisture content of grain by directing a radio frequency signal along a measurement signal path (18, 20, 24, 30, 28) through the grain and determining the moisture content and bulk density from the phase shift (φ) and attenuation experienced by the measurement signal, apparatus is provided for calibrating the moisture measurement apparatus without interrupting the grain harvesting operation. An attenuator (22), calibrated to a traceable standard, is selectively inserted into the measurement signal path (18, 20, 24, 30, 28) to produce an expected attenuation of the measurement signal. The actual attenuation resulting from the insertion of the attenuator is compared with the expected attenuation and the difference is used to derive a control voltage for controlling the gain of the measurement signal path (18, 20, 24, 30, 28).

Abstract: This invention relates to a pillow (1) and a mattress (6) the anatomical shape and
rigidity of which help to combat pathological lordosis of the forward convex curvature
particular to the cervical region and spondylitis in the dorsal region of the vertical column.
The pillow (1) consists of two rounded lobes (2) and (3) with an anatomical shape for
resting the head when the body is lying down in an antero-posterior position. The mattress
is rectangular in shape and its anatomical shape and rigidity allow for perfect posture of
the vertebral column in a dorsal or lateral recumbent position, thus guaranteeing
decompression of the vertebral discs, which is an essential factor for combating
spondylitis. Both are essentially made of a latex-type polyurethane foam the rigidity of
which is designed not to affect or alter the pressure of mainly the cervical and dorsal
blood vessels, and inside they contain a suitable number of clay discs (4) in pre-defined
positions, which are connected to the outside by means of three vertical holes (5). These
discs create absorbent and healing conditions owing to the properties of the clay.
