Abstract: A tapered body having a hollow conical interior is provided with a central recess and an annular groove spaced outside the recess. The body has a number of jet ports opening on the tapered outer peripheral surface between the central recess and the annular groove. A first set of slots extending respectively between the jet ports and the central recess is provided as is a second set of grooves extending between said jet ports and said annular groove. A tapered flow divider is adapted to fit within said body to define therewith a mixing chamber. The flow divider has means for supplying fuel and a gaseous media to the mixing chamber and holes for feeding the mixture of fuel and gaseous media to the jet ports via the central recess and the annular groove and the first and second grooves.

Abstract: There is provided a method and device for fluid transfer. The device comprises a housing-like body with a wall having a concavity. Inside the housing there is disposed a magnetically activatable diaphragm capable of forming, in conjunction with the concavity, one or more pocket-like chambers. The housing also includes an inlet and outlet aperture. The device includes a plurality of means for producing magnetic fields arranged in proximity to the concavity and adapted to generate, in a predeterminable sequence, a plurality of magnetic fields of controllably changing polarities and intensities producing cycles of dynamic deflections of the diaphragm. By means of the magnetically generated dynamic deflections of the diaphragm, the pocket-like chambers are peristaltically manipulated to move fluid from the region of the inlet aperture through which the fluid is drawn in, towards the region of the outlet aperture, through which the fluid is expelled.

Abstract: A cylindrical housing is arranged with its central axis in a vertical direction and has a feed opening for the supply of loose material at its upper end, a wall closing at its bottom end, and a discharge outlet extending radially through its perimetrical wall. A bucket wheel is located in the housing rotatable about the vertical axis. An inlet duct for the introduction of clearing air extends axially through the bottom end of its housing below said discharge outlet, and a horizontally displaced baffle plate is located above said discharge outlet.

Abstract: A linear roller bearing assembly having a base plate formed with a plurality of pockets, in each of which is located a separate holder for a roller or ball. The holder is removably inserted into the pocket and a clearance between the holder and the pocket is provided allowing the holder to freely move so as not to bend.

Abstract: A connection assembly for connecting flexible tubes such as flexible tubes of a solar heat exchanger to a header pipe. The connection assembly includes a tubular spigot member which co-acts at one end with a sleeve to compress the tube and maintain the tube in sealing engagement with the spigot member. The opposite end of the spigot member is engaged with the header pipe by means of a hollow flexible plug which is located in an aperture in the header pipe and which expands radially outwardly on engagement with the spigot member to prevent withdrawal of the spigot member and ensure efficient sealing therearound.

Abstract: A fixed ceiling is provided from which depends a carrier block which is movable forward, rearward, rightward and leftward. An exhaust port is provided on the upper surface of the carrier block and a seal member is provided on the surface of the carrier block about its periphery so that a vacuum can be created on the upper surface of the carrier block and the carrier block may be freely sucked to the fixed ceiling. Vertically movable fitting parts for a plurality of tools are provided below the carrier block.

Abstract: A mounting bracket for securing a lamp to a motor vehicle comprises a pair of body parts defining therebetween a first set of substantially planar, bumper-engaging serrated jaws and a second set of jaws inclined with respect to the first set. Each jaw of the second set has a transverse recess to accommodate a mounting bar on the lamp. A screw clamp holds the two body parts together and passes with clearance through a bore in one of the body parts.

Abstract: A cylindrically hollow housing has an inlet at its upper end and an outlet at the lower end. A valve seat having a primary bore extending axially through its center is located in the housing dividing it into an upper and a lower chamber communicating through the primary bore. A ball is freely located in the upper chamber and an operating lever extends axially through the outlet opening. The lever has a flanged head closing the outlet. The lever is resiliently biased in a first position wherein the head closes the outlet and is movable into a second position wherein the outlet is open for the passage of fluid. The valve is arranged so that when the lever is in the first position the primary bore is open for fluid flow and when the lever is in the second position the ball occludes the primary bore.

Abstract: A transfer device for depositing flatwork on a continuously movable flat feed belt having a collector rod mounted to reciprocate in a substantially horizontal path to engage a surface of a vertically hung flatwork. An unrolling rod is mounted in association with the collector rod to move in an orbital path about the collector rod. Collector rod and unrolling rod are arranged to operate cyclically in a first collecting stage in which on engagement of the collector rod with the surface of the flatwork an edge of the flatwork is laid over the collecting rod and carried thereon and a second unrolling stage in which the unrolling rod passes about the collecting rod to engage the rear surface of the flatwork and in cooperation with the collecting rod lays the flatwork in stretched condition on the feed belt.

Abstract: This device is of the type comprising supports at four points, two of which are interconnected in the manner of a balance by hydraulic or mechanical balancing devices (3, 10). The balancing devices are adjustable in height and at least one of the other two supports are also adjustable in height.

Abstract: Two plane-parallel prisms are placed in the optical axis of the examined eye, fitting close to each other in a horizontal plane lying in the optical axis. The prisms are rotated relative to one another in opposite directions at the same angle with respect to the optical axis, and having their parallel vertical optical surfaces parallel with their axis of rotation which intersects the optical axis. One prism is fixed to a scale. Two light sources are placed in a horizontal plane which passes through the optical axis and which are movable independently of one another, while their position with respect to the optical axis and to the examined eye is indicated on respectively associated scale.

Abstract: Graft copolymers are formed having a backbone formed by monomeric units, selected from the group of vinyl monomers comprising acrylates, methacrylates, acrylamide, styrene and N-vinyl-2-phyrrolidone, and side branches formed by 10-80 wt. % of oligourethanes based on aliphatic, aromatic and alkylaromatic diisocyanates and low-molecular-weight diols with 2-4 carbon atoms in the molecule. The graft copolymers are prepared in two steps: the first step consists in the synthesis of oligourethane with the terminal unsaturated group; the second step is the radical copolymerization of this oligourethane with the above vinyl monomers.
