Abstract: Jig for grinding sharp-edged tools. The jig consists of a housing in the form of a casing designed with a passage running through it whose at least one end is flat, plus a seat, also in the form of a casing designed with a passage running through it, located in the passage of the housing and lockable in this housing in an inclined position in relation to the passage in the housing, whereby the seat is provided with a clamping device (4) for firmly holding a tool that is to be ground so that it extends through the passage of the seat, and that the seat has such a length that one end of it extends out beyond the housing at the flat end of the housing.

Abstract: There is provided a process for preparing tetraalkyl ammonium halide utilizing a catalytic amount of acetonitrile in a reaction under pressure and at an elevated temperature of an alkyl halide and a trialkyl halide and in which tetrafluoroborate can be subsequently prepared.

Abstract: The inventory provides an electrolyte containing silane additive for the lithium-containing electrochemical cells and batteries.

Abstract: A protective garment is provided from a pattern which reduces waste and provides sleeves which are attached to an upper body, portion of the garment at an angle of 45-70 degrees.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for preparing lithium carboxylates which can be used in the preparation of soaps, oils and greases. The process utilizes molten carboxylic acids in a reaction utilizing a minimum of water and provides a powdery product which does not need filtration.

Abstract: A card game pinball amusement device for playing a card game. The playing field contains four slots with sensors for determining the suit of the cards and at least 12 slots with sensors representing the value of the cards. The game is played by launching a ball along an inclined playing field to determine cards used in poker, blackjack and the like.

Abstract: The invention provides a process, and product thereof, for forming a chemically resistant fusion bonded seal between chemically dissimilar materials by use of a chlorinated polyolefin film for protective garments. The process involves placing the chlorinated polyolefin film between two dissimilar films such as a facepiece and the fabric film of the garment and applying heat and pressure. The resulting fusion bonded film composite is strong, flexible and upon the application of sufficient stress exhibits total cohesive rupture failure.

Abstract: A process and device are disclosed for recognizing foreign bodies in viscous or fluid masses with lumpy foodstuffs. The mass to be checked runs through a measurement section, in which, pulsed ultrasonic signals are emitted through the mass, are reflected after passing through the mass, and after passing again through the mass they are received and compared with the ultrasonic echo of the reflection surface. When the changes of the received signals exceed a predetermined threshold value, a warning or actuating signal is generated to interrupt mass advance. The parameters to be evaluated for the signal may be their amplitudes, as well as the speed of change of their amplitudes or the propagation times.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of anhydrous high purity phosphorus pentafluoride in high yield. The process uses an excess of hydrogen fluoride in a reaction with a phosphoric acid to form hexafluorophosphoric acid followed by reaction with a sulfur based acid reactant in a reaction medium containing an excess of hydrogen fluoride.

Abstract: The invention relates to a thermoplastic material made from (a) recycled rubber particles, (b) expandable microspheres and (c) a thermoplastic resin other than (b) or (c).

Abstract: The invention provides a process, and product thereof, for forming a chemically resistant fusion bonded between chemically dissimilar materials by use of an acid-based terpolymer for protective garments. The olefin terpolymers are preferably copolymers of an olefin, an acid and an ester. The process involves placing the olefin terpolymer film between two dissimilar films such as a facepiece and the fabric material of the garments and applying heat and pressure. The resulting fusion bonded film composite is strong, flexible and upon the application of sufficient stress exhibits total cohesive rupture failure.

Abstract: Motor vehicle seats with safety belts wherein the free end of the lap belt is attached to an outer rocker located on the vehicle exterior side. The arrangement provides an improved distribution of forces in the event of an accident.

Abstract: There is provided a back rest of a motor vehicle seat, which comprises a back rest support (26), onto which a shoulder rest (36) for a separate adjustment of an upper section of the back rest is provided, whereby the shoulder rest (36) is linked to the back rest support (26) and that an adjustment device is allocated to it, which is embodied as an air bag (46), which can be filled and emptied in a controlled manner and which is arranged between the back rest support (26) and the shoulder rest (36) and that re-adjusting device are provided, which are arranged between the shoulder rest (36) and the back rest support (26) and which stress the shoulder rest (36) in one of its two extreme positions, for example the position of the smallest distance from the back rest support (26).

Abstract: A prayer candle device includes a tubular body having a chamber provided therein, a consumable lighting element refillably disposed in the chamber including a wick mounted in the consumable lighting element, a holding means mounted in the chamber of the tubular body for holding the consumable lighting element in position, and an adjusting means for maintaining a burning end of the wick of the consumable lighting element at an upper position. In such arrangement, the prayer candle device is capable of avoiding the malfunction of the operation caused by the burned consumable material.
