Abstract: A thick-walled housing has a longitudinal hole with an end orifice that runs in the axial direction of the housing. A spring-loaded clamping unit is axially displaceable in the hole. An oblique hole in the housing obliquely opens into the longitudinal hole. The clamping unit clamps a rope fed through the end orifice of the longitudinal hole and emerging through the oblique hole. The clamping unit has an axial projection on each side. The housing has guide slots located opposite one another that guide the axial projections. The ends of the axial projections form handles that pass through and extend beyond the housing. The clamping unit consists of a front and rear roller and a bearing part connecting the rollers one behind the other. The diameter of the front roller is smaller and depends on its forward displacement. The axial projections are provided on the larger rear roller.

Abstract: A break ignition plug for piston engines wherein an electromagnet acts upon an armature which activates a movable electrode and an ignition pulse passes through the magnet coil of the electromagnet and a short-circuit path between the electrodes. The magnetic field which builds-up in the electromagnet causes breaking of the short-circuit path and spark formation. At the free end of blade or band springs arranged in spaced relationship from one another at the lengthwise axis of the ignition plug there are provided confronting electrode heads. The blade springs are retained at the magnet core and freely protrude by means of the electrode ends into a hollow space or chamber formed at a threaded portion of the ignition plug. At a magnet gap region of the core there are formed at the blade springs armatures which repel one another upon excitation of the electromagnet.

Abstract: Valve body or stopper 1, for screwing into a liquid-filled system, is divided by a partition 2 into an inner chamber 6 accommodating a valve ball 8 loaded by a spring 7 into a valve opening 3 in the partition 2, and outer chamber 9 through the wall of which are a plurality of vent openings 10. Closure plug 13 screws into the chamber 9 and has a stem 12 on which are stopper rings 14 which swell upon taking up moisture and which register with the vent openings 10 so as to close the latter if liquid penetrates the valve opening 3. To enable the system to be bled manually as desired, a spindle 17 extends axially through the stem 12 to protrude by one end from the plug 13. At the other end the spindle 17 carries a pusher portion 19 by which the ball 8 can be unseated, this pusher portion 19 having, at its end facing away from the ball 8, a closure surface which serves, when the ball 8 is not being lifted, to seal the facing end of the channel, in the stem 12, through which the spindle 17 extends.

Abstract: A plurality of guides are mounted in a housing. Each of the guides is movable up and down transversely to its longitudinal direction. A plurality of sleeve carriers are slidably mounted on respective ones of the guides. A plurality of finger sleeves extend on top of the housing and are secured to respective ones of the sleeve carriers. A drive is provided for reciprocating the guides up and down with the sleeve carriers and finger sleeves and for reciprocating the sleeve carriers with the finger sleeves along said guides. A horizontal shaft is mounted in the housing for rotation on a first axis. The drive comprises a motor for rotating the shaft. A plurality of eccentric camwheels are non-rotatably mounted on the shaft. A plurality of levers are pivoted in the housing on a common second axis, which is parallel to the first axis.

Abstract: At least one pair of axially aligned sliders are axially slidably mounted in a frame and have confronting faces and are urged toward each other by spring means. Each of said sliders has an exposed side. Each of said confronting faces is formed with a depression which is open on said exposed side and adapted to receive a fingertip.

Abstract: A break ignition plug for piston engines wherein an electromagnet acts upon an armature which actuates a movable electrode and an ignition pulse flows through a magnet coil of the electromagnet and a short-circuit path between the movable electrode and a counterelectrode (ground electrode). The magnetic field which builds-up in the electromagnet causes breaking of the short-circuit path while forming a spark. A pressure equalization chamber communicates with an internal cylinder chamber of the piston engine for relieving the forces which are to be generated by the armature for the movement of the movable electrode. The armature which is to be attracted, against the force of a spring, by the electromagnet is located at least partially at the side of the electromagnet confronting the inner cylinder chamber and carries the movable electrode directed towards the inner cylinder compartment.

Abstract: A holder to receive a number of coins and the like which are stacked on top of one another wherein a cylindrical casing bounded at both ends and with an internal cross-section corresponding to the outer contour of the coins to be inserted, has a longitudinal slot extending over the whole length of the casing, the width of which is less than the diameter of each coin. This longitudinal slot is enlarged at least at one of the ends of the casing to form a gripping opening surrounded by a located edge or rim forming the end face, boundary or limit, and the walls and rims of the casing are, at least in part, made of a flexible material to enable the longitudinal slot to expand, at least in places, to the width of the coin.

Abstract: A releasable coupling for connecting hoses, pipes, rods or the like. The coupling has a male member and a female member, the female member being provided with an additional guide pipe or sleeve for centering the male member as it is inserted into the female member, to protect a sealing ring of the coupling from damage during the inserting, and also to reinforce the coupled assembly.
