Abstract: The invention relates to a tool-receiving element, the tool-clamping device thereof being directly integrated into the rotating machine. A multiple-edge longitudinal recess (21,121,221), especially a hexagonal recess, extends into the drive shaft (18,118,218) from the output-side front end thereof. A clamping sleeve (25,25?,125,225) is received on the section of the drive shalt comprising the tool-receiving element, in the form of a tool-clamping device, by which means at least one locking element (24,124,224) received in a radial recess penetrating the shell of the tool-receiving element can be actuated in a locking position protruding radially into the tool-receiving element, and can be released in an unlocking position for radial yielding.

Abstract: A solution is supposed to be achieved with a rappelling device (1) for permitting persons (3) to be rescued from high buildings, towers, and the like, having a suspension strap (2), suspension vest, or the like, to be worn by the person in question, wherein a rope container (8) having a device to release the rope length (4) is provided on the suspension strap (2), which solution is supposed to be easy to operate, on the one hand, and to be made available to the persons in question at any time, and easy to handle for them, whereby the person using the device can essentially move both hands freely, in a stable rappelling position. This is achieved in that the rope drum (7) that forms the rope container (8), in the wearing position on the back of the person using the device, is provided with a rope guide device (13) for passing the rope to a release position in the chest region of the person using the device.

Abstract: Improved tablecloth and device for fixing the skin of the tablecloth, the tablecloth comprising an independent skirt which can be detachably held to the board of the table by means which enable a variable distribution of the fixing points, and a cover which is placed on the surface of the table board and hanging sideways and hiding the edge of the board as well as the fixing points of the skirt. The device for fixing the skirt comprises a frame which is fixed to the lower part of the table board, and at a predetermined distance from the edge of the board, remaining slightly separated therefrom by discontinuous portions which can be integral with the frame or not. A variable number of C-shaped parts are placed on the frame which embrace it and are held by means of a narrowing section configured by its own branches, thereby enabling the lateral displacement along the frame.

Abstract: In motor vehicles the problem often arises that additional lighting is required in the cabin, in places where a voltage supply and the mounting thereof in the cockpit can not satisfactorily be resolved. A plug-in rechargeable lamp (1) has thus been developed, which may be plugged into the 12V or 24V cigarette lighter socket with a light diode (13) as light source, which gives a multi-application light source which may be used anywhere. The use of a light diode renders the lamp insensitive to shock effects and contributes to the lifespan thereof. The threshold voltage of the light diode (13) is optimally matched to the final discharge voltage of the applied accumulator cells, such that a fill discharge of the accumulators is practically excluded.

Abstract: The continuous production of acetylene diurea takes place by means of the reaction of glyoxal with urea in the presence of mineral acids. The reaction is carried out in at least one reactor having a mixing device, into which glyoxal, urea, and mineral acid are continuously fed, and from which a suspension of acetylene diurea in mother liquor is discharged. The acetylene diurea is mechanically removed from the mother liquor, and the remaining mother liquor is recycled back into the reactor, in whole or in part.

Abstract: An arrangement of an excavating chain for conveying ballast of a track bed comprises a guide comprising a transverse guide section articulately connected to longitudinal guide sections defining a guide channel having an end glide track along which the excavating chain is guided. The end glide track of the transverse guide section is curved around the joints connecting the ends of the transverse guide section to the adjoining longitudinal guide sections, the end glide track enclosing an acute dihedral angle ? with an imaginary plane of elongation of the end glide track of a respective one of the longitudinal guide sections whereby the excavating chain is deflected from the transverse to the longitudinal guide sections solely by contact with the end glide track.

Abstract: An electrical plug-in connector consists of a housing and a high-current socket. The high-current socket is formed by a contact segment consisting of contact tongues, an intermediate segment, and an attachment segment, whereby the material thickness of the attachment segment is greater than the material thickness of the intermediate segment and the contact segment. A counter-contact surface for interaction with this change in the material thickness, which is configured in the form of a step, is provided in the housing. Furthermore, the high-current socket is fixed in place in the housing by means of resilient tongues on the intermediate segment, and a catch projection in the recess in the housing.

Abstract: In a connector comprising a housing (11) and a contact (21) held by the housing, the contact is brought into contact with a connection object under a pressing force obtained by operating an operating member (61). An elastic member (71) elastically deformable is interposed between the contact and the operating member. The operating member has a first cam surface (63a) for applying the pressing force to the contact with elastic deformation of the elastic member and a second cam surface (63b) for releasing the pressing force. An insulating actuator (51) cooperating with the contact may be interposed between the contact and the elastic member. The elastic member may be a leaf spring member held by the actuator.

This molecular sieve is charged with at least one active substance (Z, Z1, Z2), and the molecular sieve/active substance adduct (5) releases the active substance when the active membrane comes into skin contact (6) in conjunction with the transpiration of the skin.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rotationally symmetrical coupling comprising an annular hub made of a rigid material, which is surrounded by an outer ring made of a rubber-elastic material. The coupling also comprises an outer contouring, which is located on the outer diameter and which is provided for positively transmitting torques, whereby the outer ring is reinforced by an embedded, annular, rigid solid body. The aim of the invention is to achieve a quieter operation of a coupling of the aforementioned type and to better protect this coupling from becoming damaged. To these ends, the invention provides that the rubber-elastic material is silicone and that the annular, rigid solid body, on the outside, has a shape, which is similar to that of the outer contouring of the outer ring and which maintains, over the circumference, a nearly constant distance from the outer contouring of the outer ring. The rigid solid body is preferably comprised of a curved, metallic strip material having a constant thickness.
