Title: Nickel chromium-molybdenum alloyd
IPC: C22C19/05
Filed: 1989-02-22
Granted: 1992-05-13
Abstract: The use of an alloy containing 22.0 to 24.0% of chromium, 15.0 to 16.5% of molybdenum, up to 0.3% of tungsten, up to 1.5% of iron, up to 0.4% of vanadium, 0.1 to 0.4% of aluminium, 0.001 to 0.04% of magnesium and 0.001 to 0.01% of calcium, the remainder being nickel and including unavoidable accompanying elements and impurities, is proposed for the production of structural components which have very good resistance to material-removing corrosion and to pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion under very severe corrosive conditions, as prevail in present-day chemical process engineering and in current environment protection technology, such as, for example, in flue gas desulphurisation plants or plants for concentrating sulphuric acid, and which should be capable of being produced economically and without problems by hot-working and cold-working.

Abstract: A pressure sensor (10) that responds to a predetermined rate of change of pressure in the fluid medium comprises a housing (12) that encloses a pressure chamber (40) which has a permeable wall (32) and flexible diaphragm (32) that seperates the pressure chamber (40) from the pressure sensitive system (38,42) in which the sensor is used. The sensor may be used in a pneumatic tire and in such use the flexible diaphragm (32) will be deflected to activate a transmitter when the pressure in the tire changes at a hazardous rate. The sensor will not activate the transmitter when the rate of change of pressure is less than a hazardous rate of change.

Title: Cutting or clamping tool with a composite handle
IPC: B25B7/00
Filed: 1989-08-23
Granted: 1993-01-07
Abstract: The present invention relates to a cutting or clamping tool having two branches or at least their handles (3, 4) which are made entirely of composite material, comprising a thermosetting or a thermoplastic polymer matrix component and a reinforcing component such as carbon powder or carbon fibres, glass fibres and/or aramid fibres. In the case of the handles alone being of composite material, only they are fixed to the metal parts, for example of a pair of secateurs, by means of bolts (12, 13) passing through a straddling region (30) between the handle and a metal part (8), the length of the straddling region being considerably shorter than the longitudinal dimension of the handle (3). Compared with traditional tools, such as secateurs or pliers, the handles of which are composed of a metal core integral with the other metal elements and covered with an overmoulded plastic material, the handle or the entire branches of composite material, according to the present invention, have a considerable advantage as regards the total weight, while retaining comparable, or even improved, strength. <IMAGE>

Title: Vehicle elevator and conveyor arrangement
IPC: E04H6/18
Filed: 1989-04-13
Granted: 1991-07-24
Abstract: A vehicle elevator and conveyor arrangement in a parking building of the kind in which the vehicle is intended to be conveyed in the building without the assistance of a driver. The conveyor arrangement includes a so-called transfer carriage which is intended to raise and lower all wheels of the vehicle and which can be moved in a horizontal plane in the building and also in a vertical direction by means of the elevator arrangement, which elevator arrangement includes an elevator platform for supporting a transfer carriage. Each of the stories or floors of the parking building on which a transfer carriage (31) is intended to be moved is provided with two parallel rails (50, 51) which form a horizontal transfer-carriage conveyor path or track (71). One or more elevator shafts (61, 62) are positioned along the longitudinal extension of the rails. The wheels (52-59) of the transfer carriage can be displaced from a position (55') in which the track width of the transfer carriage (31) corresponds to the distance between the running or bearing surfaces of the rails (50, 51) to a position (55") in which the track width is smaller than this distance. The elevator platform includes a plate whose length (L) is shorter than the distance between the rails (50, 51). Lifting attachments project from the elevator platform (40) in the longitudinal direction thereof. The rails (50, 51) are interrupted in the vicinity of respective elevator shafts, so as to allow vertical passage of the lifting attachments. The longitudinal extension of each interruption in the rails (50, 51) is shorter than the axle distance between the wheels (52-59) of each wheel pair of the transfer carriage (31), so that a transfer carriage is able to pass an elevator shaft in the horizontal direction.
