  • Patent number: 7320560
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a method for manual installation of rock bolts expandable by means of a pressure media comprising manual coupling of a pressure source to a rock bolt to be expanded. The method comprises the steps of an operator starting a sequence whereby the rock bolt is pressurized to a predetermined pressure, and it being ensured that the predetermined pressure is kept for a predetermined period of time. The present invention is also related to such a control system, and an apparatus comprising such a control system.

  • Publication number: 20040050002
    Abstract: The invention relates to a reinforcement device for fastening, in this context, tremendous loads to particularly weaker walls of the type wallboard coated stud frame, and to contribute to the ability of walls to resist horizontal forces. The reinforcement device comprises portions, which connect and reinforce the parts of the wall construction. Thus, exceeding a materials tensile strength can be avoided, and the forces are distributed over a larger area, wherein the resistibility thereof can be summarised to a larger resistance. In a certain embodiment the reinforcement device can be used for fastening in solid constructions, such as light concrete and hollow brick constructions.

  • Patent number: 4645226
    Abstract: A dolly carries a fifth wheel for connecting a trailing vehicle, a drawing device (18,20,24) for pivotable connection of the dolly (8) to a drawing vehicle and elongated side supports (22) are movable from a free position to a locked position in which they form an essentially rigid connection between the dolly and a support element (24) carried by the drawing vehicle. Hereby the connection between the dolly and the drawing vehicle can be made sidewardly rigid if needed. By the side supports (22) being carried by pivotal supports (26), which allow sidewards pivoting of the side supports to the locked position, a vehicle rig, including the dolly, can maintain a maximum of allowed length both with and without sidewards rigidity.

  • Patent number: 4521450
    Abstract: The electrical conductivity of solid, impregnable materials, such as cellulose-based insulating materials, can be increased by supplying to the solid impregnable material a substance with the ability, during polymerization of a pyrrole compound comprising at least one of the substances pyrrole and N-methylpyrrole, to give a polymer with higher electrical conductivity than the solid impregnable material, as well as a pyrrole compound of the kind stated, whereafter the pyrrole compound is transformed into a polymer in the solid, impregnable material.
