Abstract: The invention relates to a cabriolet car (1) comprising a roof provided with a flexible cover (3) at least in the rear part thereof, wherein the cover (3) being in a closed position can be tensionally supported with respect to a body (7) with the aid of a tension bow (11). In order to open the roof (2), the tension bow (11) is displaced to the closed position thereof, wherein said bow is arranged on a closed support element (A) of the body (7), first upward (AS) and, when the support element is open, backward (RS) and subsequently to the open position, wherein said tension bow is arranged under the plan of the closed support element (A) being displaced downwards (AV). Said invention provides for a first displacement center (25) for displacing the tension bow (11) upwards and backwards (AS, RS) and a separate second displacement center for displacing said tension bow downward (AV).

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for the treatment of horn splits or cracks on the hoof of horses or other hoofed animals. The apparatus according to the invention is characterized by holding parts (1, 1?) for fastening to the longitudinal sides of a horn split or crack so as to be situated one opposite the other on the hoof and is further characterized by devices (3-14) which connect the holding parts (1, 1?) and by which the distance between the holding parts (1, 1?) is adjustable, causing the horn split or crack to be widened or narrowed.

Abstract: A method for rolling thin and/or thick slabs made of steel materials into hot-rolled strip, which were previously cast as thin or thick slabs in a continuous casting machine, heated to rolling temperature in a pusher furnace or in a walking-beam furnace, and rolled in a common rolling train, then cooled and wound into coils. The method is carried out in a continuous manner at maximum capacity of the roughing train according to the quality standard of the hot-rolled strip while roller wear is reduced due to the fact that the roughing train is formed inline by roughing stands and finishing stands into which thin slab sections or thick slab sections are introduced at a suitable point of the roughing train according to the thickness thereof.

Abstract: An apparatus for vertically supporting pipes in oil production rigs. The apparatus includes an outer frame and a centering device. In the area of an inner side of the outer frame, at least one wedge device is provided for clamping the pipe. The outer frame is connected to the centering device so as to be vertically aligned and facing upwardly. A wedge device may additionally include a positioning device and a carrier provided with at least one wedge.

Abstract: The rudder post (40) for rudders for water vehicles has end sections (41, 42) made of a metallic material, in particular of wrought iron, and a mid post section (45) made of a nonmetallic material connected with the end sections so that the rudder post has a relatively low weight even for a very big length by maintaining a high flexural strength and torsion stiffness.

Abstract: A plug-in coupling for connecting a fluid conduit to a pipe has a pipe section having a first end section to be connected to a fluid-conduit and a second end section to receive and lock a pipe. A securing ring is attached to the inner side of the pipe section. At least one sealing ring is inserted into the pipe section and seals the pipe relative to the pipe section. The at least one sealing ring is positionally secured in the pipe section between the securing ring and an inner shoulder of the pipe section. The pipe section has a slot extending in a circumferential direction of the pipe section and a support surface located opposite the slot. The securing ring is inserted into the slot until the securing ring contacts the support surface. A circumferential section of the securing ring is received in the slot.

Abstract: An application device for a disk brake includes an application shaft extending transversely of an application axis, a first support for supporting the application shaft on an application element, which is shiftable in the direction of the application axis, and a second support for supporting the application shaft on an abutment. The first and second supports have arc-shaped support surfaces on the application shaft, wherein the directions of the curvature of the support surfaces are the same, but the imaginary centers thereof do not coincide. The first and/or the second support has a support element which can shift transversely of the application axis. The support element is a sliding element, which is supported with a second flat slide face on a first flat slide face provided on the abutment or on the application element.
