Abstract: A tool carrier of a five-axis machine tool can be swivelled about a swivel axis which intersects a machining axis, about which a milling head is rotatable, in the region of the latter, at an acute angle which is preferably between 30.degree. and 60.degree., most preferably 45.degree.. As a result, during swivelling movements, only slight compensating movements, distributed over all the axes, are necessary, and yet the tool carrier can be kept short, so that deformations of the same remain small, which ensures high stability and great accuracy. In addition, large swivel angles of 90.degree. or more on both sides are possible without collision problems, which permits a great degree of adaptation of the position of the cutting edge to the workpiece surface and high surface quality as a result. The machine tool is especially suitable for milling turbine and engine blades as well as compressor impellers.

Abstract: A catamenial tampon of compressed absorbent material manufactured in such a way, that a bulge is created in the center area of said tampon, said bulge having part of the fibers loosened creating therewith a softer surface on the bulge compared with the harder sections of the two neighboring cylindrical areas, whereby irritation of the vagina walls is avoided.Catamenial Tampon for digital insertion with a bulge in the middle area.
