Abstract: The invention relates to a positive control especially radial piston motors for hydrostatic motors. Such control, while permitting a large range of rotational speed, is capable of avoiding disturbances in the oil flow occurring during coverage of the edges of includes slide valves and provides optimum smoothness of operation of the hydrostatic drive. It is the object of each slide valve to control the connection between an associated working cylinder and the inflow and outflow of the pressure medium. It is a further object of the slide valve to establish connection between the associated working cylinder and a pressure equalizing conduit, at least during coverage of a first pair of control edges, i.e. in a phase during which the working cylinder is cut off both from the pressure medium intake and from the pressure medium outlet. For this purpose the slide valve is provided with a second pair of control edges.

The structure comprises piston and cylinder structure held in a fixed support, including cylinder ends movable into and out of the opposite ends thereof, a welding electrode attached to one rod cylinder end on one side of a workpiece, a travel rod extending through the support and connected to the other cylinder end, means for securing a second electrode to the travel rod on the other side of the workpiece, and self-equalizing pressure means for extending the cylinder ends from the piston and cylinder structure and for withdrawing them into the piston and cylinder structure.

Abstract: A stretcher and litter combination, including a buoyant raft-like structure adapted for use as a rescue or recovery litter, and a buoyant stretcher. The litter has pontoons on either side of an elongated body section. The stretcher is in the form of an elongated board releasably secured to the body section of the litter.

Abstract: In an automatic winder wherein a winding package rotates while having surface contact with a transverse drum which is positively rotated, a method and apparatus for stopping the package concurrently with stopping of the drum. The method includes a braking of the drum when brakage of yarn being wound on the package takes place and simultaneous braking of the winding package if the brakage of the yarn takes place after the winding package has reached a predetermined diameter. The structure includes drum brake structure for braking the drum, lever actuated cam structure for sensing the diameter of the winding package, and package brake structure responsive to the diameter sensing structure for stopping the winding package on sensing of yarn brakage and package diameter over a predetermined diameter.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for obtaining packages for dying by twisting and winding processed yarns by a double twister. Between a double twisting spindle and a take-up roller disposed above, there are arranged a winding angle-adjusting device, a feed roller and a traverse device, recited from the side of the spindle. The high yarn tension on the side of the double twister is reduced by using the feed roller having a special structure to obtain a soft wound package.

Abstract: A spindle bearing and lubrication system having bearings supporting a shaft for rotation within a housing to which the outer bearing rings are keyed. End retainers and a spacer locate the bearings axially, and, with the bearings, define annular lubricant cavities on both sides of both bearings. Lubricant inlet passages lead through the housing and spacer to the lubricant cavities. Lubricant outlet passages lead from the lubricant cavities through slots in the bearings, in the retainers, in the key, and in the housing keyway, and finally through a filter which prevents the entry of solid contaminants in the event of reverse flow.

Abstract: A racking device for an automatic flat knitting machine in which a data of the knit structure and other data are stored in memory members in respect to each course and the knitting operation is carried out based on outputs of said stored data.

Abstract: A cop supplying truck which runs along the individual winding units of an automatic winding machine is provided. The cop supplying truck travels while storing the cops accomodated in an individual cylindrical cop container and feeds the cops into a magazine of a winding unit without stopping at the individual winding units. The cop supplying truck is provided with a hole through which the cop falls onto the magazine. The cops are travelled and fed by means of a first conveyer device which works to successively convey the cop containers toward the falling hole, a device which takes one of the cop container while the cop supplying truck passes over the empty magazine, and a second conveyer device which so works that a cop in the taken-out cop container is only allowed to fall into the magazine through the falling hole.
