Abstract: Each neck tool half is mounted on a neck tool holder and together they are movable from the illustrated initial position in a parison mold station to a finishing mold station. On each neck tool holder is secured a movable part of a distribution device for cooling air. A stationary part of the distribution device transfers cooling air from a stationary supply device having a valve. Between the stationary and movable parts there is a jointing gap which is inclined to the vertical. The cooling air is blown through nozzle apertures against the outside of the neck tool half.

Abstract: A container preassembly which has an inner sleeve in a flat unopened position disposed within an outer sleeve in a flat unopened position. The two sleeves are adapted to form the two ends of the container and are secured together in the aligned relationship of the final open container, thereby allowing the preassembly to be opened into the form of the final container without requiring further adjustment. Once opened, the flaps for forming the container bottom are folded to create a container ready for use. A method of making the container preassembly is also provided.

Abstract: Containers (2) arrive on a first conveyor belt (3) at comparatively large initial spacings (8) from one another and at comparatively high speed in a first direction of movement (4). The containers (2) are routed on a continuously curved path (11) into a second direction of movement (5) onto a second conveyor belt (6). Between the conveyor belts (3, 6) is arranged an intermediate belt (14) whose upper run (15) is driven in a third direction of movement (16) with a lower speed than the first conveyor belt (3). The second conveyor belt (6) likewise runs at lower speed than the first conveyor belt (3), so that finally a comparatively small second gap (7) results between the containers (2). A drive member (10) carries on the one hand transportation fingers (9) which engage between successive containers (2), and on the other hand stopping members (13) of a support device (12) with which the containers ( 2) are kept in continuous contact up to their delivery on to the second conveyor belt (6).

Abstract: A cutter assembly for mowing apparatus comprises a sickle guard having individual guards whose guard bodies are connected to a cutter bar via mounting pads. Each guard is provided with a rearward knife slot within which knife sections can move back and forth in a reciprocating manner. Hold-down members are provided to act against an upper face of the knife sections, the hold-down members being formed as ball plungers and are screwed into a front part of a hold-down arm. The hold-down arm at its rearward end is fixed by a base to the cutter bar by means of guard mounting screws.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bucket crusher to be mounted in place of the bucket of an excavator or a bucket loader. Horizontal crushing shafts (12) provided with crushing tools are superimposed at a small distance from each other and adapted to be rotated in the same rotating direction. A pivoting axle (4) for a pivotably journalled compression and feeding plate (1) is located in the top section of the bucket. The plate (1) can be turned for pressing the material to be crushed against the crushing shafts, whose rotating direction is selected in such a manner that the crushing tools within said bucket travel towards said pivoting axle (4).

Abstract: An apparatus and method of play for a board game with a board having spaces defining vertical, horizontal, and diagonal paths. Each player has a set of markers. The object of the game is to complete any one path before the other players by occupying with its markers all the spaces for that path. A directional name indicator randomly selects a players move options each turn. A number selector randomly selects numbers for each player each turn which controls the maximum number of markers that can be added, or other players markers which can be removed, each turn.

Abstract: A desuperheater is disclosed which employs an acceleration orifice within a steam conduit to increase the velocity of steam flowing therethrough, creating a region of low pressure steam. A nozzle having an enclosed elliptical discharge orifice sprays small droplets of cooling water in a semi-elliptical hollow cone pattern directly into the region of low pressure steam flow. Evaporization of the cooling water into the steam is optimized allowing effective control of the steam temperature. Nozzle fouling and plugging is reduced because the droplet size created by the nozzle is small in comparison to the nozzle orifice.
