Abstract: A porous hardenable drainage element (14) is produced from a molding compound (10) of expanded plastics granulate and a bonding agent by virtue of the fact that the molding compound is received in a ladle (30) having a pouring opening (32) closed off by a mold bottom (44), the molding compound is pressurized in the ladle, the element (14) is molded from the molding compound in a mold formed by lowering of the mold bottom (44) down into an opening cross section (42) consistent with a cross section of the pouring opening (32), and the element is separated from the molding compound by mutual lateral displacement of the mold and the ladle (30).

Abstract: A thermoforming apparatus for forming a blank into a composite article. The thermoforming apparatus includes a forming tool. A forming member forms the blank over the forming tool. A first chamber is arranged for containing the blank. A second chamber is separated from the first chamber by the forming member. A first air circulator is configured to circulate air in the first chamber for achieving a heat distribution to the blank. The first air circulator includes a controllable valve member. The apparatus also includes a second air circulator. A method for forming a blank during circulation of air in a first chamber.

Abstract: A gerotor pump (1) comprising; a housing (2) which comprises a first and a second supply socket (18a, 18b; 19a, 19b), an inner rotor (4); and an outer rotor (5) rotatably located relative the housing (2); wherein the inner rotor (4) is located within the outer rotor (5), and lobes (13, 4) of the inner and the outer rotor (4, 5) engaging, the inner rotor (4) is centred around an axis (15b) which is eccentric from an axis of rotation (15) of said outer rotor (5), wherein a pressure chamber (7) with a high pressure and a low pressure section, is defined between the inner and outer rotor (4,), characterised in, that the inner rotor (4) is rotatably arranged on a shaft cylinder (10b) which is fixed at one end of a central drive shaft (10) of the pump (1) and is centred about said rotational axis (15b), whereby said inner rotor (4) wanders in said outer rotor (5) when said central drive shaft (10) is turned, and wherein the inner rotor (4) is provided with radial supply conduits (9) extending from the pressure cham

Abstract: A suspension arrangement for terminals for electrical resistive elements, which terminals pass vertically through a body and are attached relative to the upper surface of the body, which terminals pass over into the hot zone of the resistive element in the form of a shank element, which extends downwards from the terminals, where one or several of the shanks of the hot zone is or are supported by hooks attached to the lower surface of the body. The suspension arrangement for each one of the terminals includes a first attachment attached relative to the upper surface of the body and a second attachment attached relative to the terminal. A spring arrangement passes between the first and the second attachment, which spring arrangement is arranged such that the second attachment is mobile in the vertical direction relative to the first attachment.
