Title: Expandable garment hanger.
Inventor: HUNT WILLIAM JOSEPH
IPC: A47G25/62
Filed: 1990-03-08
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB90/00353 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 10, 1991 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 10, 1991 PCT Filed Mar. 8, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO90/10408 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 20, 1990.An expandable garment hanger with which the invention is concerned has a body (1), a hook (2) on the body to suspend the hanger and a pair of movable arms (3,4), slidably mounted on the body. The arms are arranged to move in opposite directions. A locking device (8,9) is located on the body (1) of the hanger so as to lock the movable arms relative to the body. The locking device is movable along a path parallel to the path along which the arms are movable. A biasing device, preferably a spring (27), is provided for biasing the locking device (9,9) against movement in one direction so that when the arm of the hanger is set and locked in position the arms of the hanger are movable against the biasing force of the spring (27). The hanger conveniently supports garments of varying waist widths and maintains the hanger at the desired widths once the garment is mounted on the hanger but also allows the garment to be removed from the hanger by a small inward force applied to the end of the arm.

Abstract: The sail batten (1) for detachably fastening between mast (2), e.g. of a sailboard, and luff of the sail (3) in the area of a sail lath (5) has a sleeve, partly enclosing the mast (2) and rotatable about the latter, and two profiling arms (7, 8) directed towards the leech. The sleeve is formed by two elastic retaining webs (10, 11) at a distance apart in the direction of the mast axis. The retaining webs (10, 11) are adapted to the mast (2) tapering from foot to tip and thus ensure limited rotary mobility, free of play, of the sail batten (1) about the mast (2). The two opposite profiling arms (7, 8), integrally formed on the sleeve of the sail batten (1) and having an airfoil profile for supporting the luff-side end (12) of a sail lath (5) which is curved in accordance with the sail profile determined by the apparent wind, are of dimensionally stable design. The sail batten (1) is detachably fastened to the sail (3) by a catch (13). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to an elastic support, in particular for the support of a spring eye (12) on the body of a vehicle, which support comprises a rubber-metal part (1) having an inner, cylindrical metal part (2), an outer metal tube (3) and a rubber body (4) vulcanised in between in a securely adhering manner. The outer metal tube has an axial slit (7), which is closed when the rubber-metal part (1) is pressed into a receiving eye (12). According to the invention, the diameter at the respective end face of the rubber-metal part (1) and of the outer metal tube (3) decreases continuously towards a smaller diameter in the axial centre. As a result, insertion into unmachined receiving eyes, in particular into unmachined spring eyes (12), is possible without inadmissibly high stresses occurring. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Mounting means for a control lever (6) comprising first and second spaced-apart mounting members (21,24) of which the first member (21) has a first circular aperture (25) to receive a first end of a pivot shaft (12) associated with the control lever (6) and the second member (24) has a second circular aperture (26) concentric with the first aperture (25) to receive a second end of the pivot shaft (12). The second aperture (26) communicates with an edge of the second mounting member (24) via a parallel-sided slot (27) of which the width is less than the diameter of the second aperture (26). The first end of the pivot shaft (12) has a first terminal portion (13) of reduced diameter to form a first shoulder (14) at that end. Said first reduced diameter portion (13) is rotatably received in said first aperture (25) and said first shoulder (14) is engageable with the associated face of the first mounting member (21). The second end of the pivot shaft (12) has a second terminal portion (15) of reduced diameter to form a second shoulder (16). Said second terminal portion (15) also is provided with a pair of diametrically opposed flats (17) having a distance therebetween which is such as to make this second terminal portion (15) slidingly fit in said parallel-sided slot (27) and furthermore, the second shoulder (16) is engageable with the corresponding face of the second mounting member (24), the arrangement being such that, when the pivot shaft (12) is rotated such that the flats (17) thereon are no longer in alignment with said parallel-sided slot (27), the pivot shaft (12) is axially retained between the first and second mounting members (21,24) by the first and second shoulders (14,16) and the misalignment of the flats (17) and slot (27) prevents any transverse movement of the pivot shaft (12).

Abstract: An optical head comprising a diffracting element having two tracking diffracting regions separated by a division line extending in a direction corresponding to a track direction of a recording medium, and one focusing diffracting region separated from the tracking diffracting regions by a division line extending in a direction corresponding to a radial direction of the recording medium. The optical head further comprises a light receiving element having two tracking light receiving regions for receiving diffracted lights produced in the tracking diffracting regions, and two adjoining focusing light receiving regions for receiving a diffracted light produced in the focusing diffracting region. The diffracted light produced in the focusing diffracting region always has a substantially constant light intensity, even when a tracking error occurs. As a result, an offset can be prevented from occurring in a focus error signal by finely adjusting the diffracting element.

Abstract: Un dispositif de détermination d'humidité à haute température mesure la teneur en humidité de flux gazeux ayant des températures allant jusqu'à 600°F, et même au-dessus. Le dispositif fait appel à un détecteur d'humidité relative/température à semi-conducteurs (20) du type à couche mince de polymère, et muni d'un baromètre électronique (22) pour mesurer les propriétés du flux gazeux. L'appareil ne nécessite pas d'oxygène, d'eau glacée, d'eau distillée ni d'autre liquides de nettoyage de qualité laboratoire. Pour éviter d'endommager le détecteur, on refroidit un échantillon à une température inférieure à environ 300°F avant l'échantillonnage. Le refroidissement est effectué en faisant passer l'échantillon d'air à travers un conduit d'échantillonnage thermostatiquement contrôlé (6), et ensuite dans une chambre d'échantillonnage thermostatiquement contrôlée et à pressurisation positive. Un microprocesseur (24) calcule le rapport d'humidité et le point de rosée de l'échantillon, ou d'autres propriétés d'air humide, et envoie les données à un indicateur de traitement visuel (28), ainsi qu'à toute autre sortie voulue.

Title: A method of forming a paper web.
Inventor: HERGERT RICHARD E
IPC: D21F9/00
Filed: 1991-02-19
Abstract: A method is disclosed for forming a paper web having a low tensile ratio. The method includes the steps of ejecting stock substantially horizontally from a headbox, and receiving the rejected stock onto a substantially horizontally disposed looped first wire, moving at substantially the same speed and the same direction as the ejected stock. The arrangement is such that a first portion of water is removed from the ejected stock downwardly through the first wire during passage of the ejected stock through an initial dewatering zone. The partially dewatered stock is sandwiched between the first wire and a looped second wire, the wires defining therebetween a secondary dewatering zone for further dewatering the ejected stock. A second and third portion of water are removed downwardly and upwardly, respectively, through the first and second wires during movement of the ejected stock past a curved shoe. The curvature of the secondary dewatering zone is reversed such that the wires extend around a curved inverted box connected to a source of partial vacuum, so that a fourth portion of water is removed upwardly through the second wire into the curved box. The arrangement is such that a gradual dewatering of the ejected stock is accomplished during passage of the stock through the initial and secondary dewatering zones, thereby inhibiting removal of fines from the ejected stock and minimizing the tensile ratio of the resultant web.
