Abstract: Handrail having laterally bent edges which engage around laterally projecting ribs of a guide element such that the ends of the bent edges are situated at a clear distance from one another and each at a distance from a guide base of the guide element where the clear distance corresponds to a total gap size plus a width of the guide base and is chosen in consideration of the width of the guide base and the shrinkage and warpage phenomena occurring during operation to not exceed 8 mm, while a clear width of the bent edges is chosen to be greater than the width of the guide element at the ends of the laterally projecting ribs such that, considering tolerances of the width of the guide element at the ends of the ribs and the shrinkage and warpage phenomena occurring during operation of the handrail, not exceed 8 mm.

Abstract: A tube-shaped body for conveying solid, liquid and/or gaseous substances, including a plurality of concentrically arranged layers, where at least one layer is designed as a carrier layer, and at least two further layers are designed as strength layers, which are formed of filamentary and/or wire-shaped and/or elongate components, which each form a structure having a defined structural angle, where at least two strength layers differ in their structural angles.

Abstract: Handrail which can be mounted on a guide element and which is intended for moving walkways, escalators or the like, in which an inner sliding surface (2) of the handrail (1) is supported such that it can slide or roll on the guide element (3), said handrail having laterally bent edges (4) which engage around laterally projecting ribs (5) of the guide element (3), which are straight or inclined by an angle ? or upwardly bent, to such an extent that the ends (6) of the bent edges (4) are situated at a clear distance C from one another and each at a distance—(C1 or C2)—from the guide base (7) of the guide element (3), characterized in that the clear distance C of the ends (6) of the bent edges (4) of the handrail (1) corresponds to the total gap size C1+C2 plus a width X of the guide base (7) at the relevant point and is chosen such that, taking into account the tolerances of the width X of the guide base (7) and the shrinkage and warpage phenomena which result during the operation of the handrail (1), the total

Abstract: Disclosed is a hand rail for a passenger conveying installation, such as e.g. an escaltor or a passenger conveyor, which has a flexible base body with two side lips for engaging around a guide rail, and in which at least one of the side lips has a profiled section, which may be guided in a track or guide groove of the guied rail, which secures the hand rail against slipping off the guide rail, characterised in that the profiled section of the side lips has a bulge-like thickening.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hand rail for an escalator or a moving walkway, comprising a flexible base body (1) with two lateral lips (2a, 2b) that wrap around a guide rail (4). The respective ends of the lateral lips are provided with a bulge (6a, 6b), which engages in a corresponding guide groove (8a, 8b) of the guide rail (4), thus securing the hand rail against lateral slippage. The invention also relates to a corresponding guide rail (4), which is equipped with a guide groove (8a, 8b) for guiding the lateral lips of the hand rail.

Abstract: Into a material based on a caoutchouc-type or caoutchouc-containing mixture for producing hard rubber, there is incorporated a pre-mix containing high-strength organic fibers and a liquid hardenable plastic material. The high-strength and temperature resistant material thus obtained is particularly suitable for the attenuation of noise in combustion engines when heavy-weight fillers are also added to such material. Engine components like, for example, valve covers, timing gear covers and oil pans can be manufactured from this material.

Abstract: The pneumatic vehicle tire comprises a radial ply carcass, two side walls, a tread member and a belt or breaker comprising at least one cord layer. The tread member is composed of a base layer positioned closer to the tire axis and a cap layer arranged on top thereof. For particularly favorable affecting the rolling behavior of the tire the base layer forms a trough in which the cap layer is accommodated.

Abstract: A capacitor comprising at least two electrodes separated from one another by an elastic dielectric for measuring forces acting upon one of the electrodes--the so-called measuring electrode--by detecting the resultant change in capacitance. The dielectric comprises a web having at least at one face thereof protruding nap-shaped protuberances defining a hollow space which is at a reduced pressure in relation to the external pressure.

Abstract: A foot massage mat formed of rubber, plastics material or the like wherein the mat possesses hill-like protuberances.

Abstract: A connection coupling which can be coupled or connected under pressure and employed with hydraulic lines, comprising a non-pressure loaded coupling half and a coupling half under pressure, in each coupling half there is centrally mounted a valve guide. In each valve guide there is axially displaceably arranged a spring-loaded hydraulically impingeable or loadable valve in such a manner that the valve heads, during the coupling operation, are pressed against one another. The non-pressure impinged valve is shifted through twice the possible valve stroke of the pressure impinged valve, and the non-pressure impinged valve is loaded with a spring which is stronger than the spring loading the pressure impinged valve, so that upon pressure equalization the previously pressure impinged valve is pressed in its open position against a stop provided at the previously pressure impinged coupling half, there being provided a maximum valve-passage cross-section for both valves.

Abstract: A molded article, especially a tire, comprising an elastomeric material and essentially oriented fibers embedded in said elastomeric material, said molded article including at least two sections containing such fibers, wherein said fibers of said sections, with said sections viewed projected into substantially a common plane, possess respective orientation directions differing from one another, and wherein said sections possess respectively different strength characteristics owing to the respective different fiber orientation directions of said two sections.There is also disclosed a method and apparatus for forming such molded articles wherein there is provided a hollow mold having a mold compartment, and means define at least one auxiliary compartment provided for said hollow mold.
