  • Patent number: 5114444
    Abstract: A filter arrangement includes at least one drum-type filter. A suction device is provided for suctioning of the inside of the drum-type filter along a helical line. The suction device includes at least one suction hose and a suction nozzle provided at the free end of the suction hose. The suction nozzle is constructed for contacting the inner side of the drum-type filter. The suction hose is attached to an end portion of a rotatable suction pipe. The end portion is constructed so as to be movable back and forth in longitudinal direction of the drum-type filter, so that movement in longitudinal direction and rotary movement of the end portion of the suction pipe results in a suctioning-off of the cylindrical inner side of the drum-type filter along a helical line.

  • Patent number: 5111751
    Abstract: Transport means are clamped to a movable rope (6) with a clamp capable of coupling. The clamp exhibits clamping jaws (4, 5), where one of the clamping jaws (5) can be pressed against the rope (6) based on the force of a spring (14). This clamping jaw (5) can be lifted off the rope (6) again with a spatially fixedly disposed connecting link. The movable clamping jaw (5) is formed as a two-arm lever, where the one arm of the two-arm lever forms the clamping jaw (5), and where the second arm (9) of the two-arm lever is loaded by a spring (14). An angle lever (10) is hinged at the two-arm lever (8) in such a way that the spring (14), furnishing the clamping force, is released upon opening of the clamp, as illustrated in FIG. 1.

  • Patent number: 5111889
    Abstract: A drilling tool has a shifting unit including a rotatable shifting lever (6) with a shifting cam (9) for switching between different operating positions corresponding to different operating speeds. For holding the shifting lever (6) in the operating positions, a spring clip (14) is mounted on the lever and is rotatable relative to the tool housing. The spring clip has detents (14a, 14b) arranged to snap into recesses (1d, 1e) in a bolt-like part of the housing which rotationally supports the shifting lever (6).

  • Patent number: 5112091
    Abstract: A door holding device for a motor vehicle door includes A door holding rod which is pivotally connected to a door installation member, door or door post. The door holding rod is provided with locking portions for holding the door in predetermined positions and with an end stop for holding the door in an end position. A holder housing is rigidly connected to an other door installation member. The door holding rod extends through the holder housing. A first roller is mounted in the holder housing so as to be rotatable about a rigid axis. A second roller is rotatably mounted on a load-applying arm of a torsion rod spring which rests against the holder housing. The door holding rod extends between the two rollers. The door holding rod has over its entire length which comes into contact with the rollers a rounded cross-sectional shape and the locking portions are formed by at least one bent portion of the door holding rod directed transversely of the longitudinal axis of the door holding rod.

  • Patent number: 5112168
    Abstract: There is a tap having a tapered threaded portion 2 whose thread teeth 4 located in the tapered section are provided with a relief arranged at a clearance angle. It is desirable that the cutting moment and friction should decrease to the back towards the greater diameter. This is achieved in that the clearance angle of the thread teeth 4 in the tapered section 2 remains constant or increases towards the back. A simple machining measure permits the cutting moment and friction to be variably controlled over a wide range.

  • Patent number: 5111556
    Abstract: An arrangement for closing a cable socket for connecting and branching cables, particularly telecommunication cables. The arrangement includes a longitudinally divided socket pipe and closing sections which each have an undercut and limit the longitudinal division. The arrangement also includes a closure which engages the undercuts and extends over the closing sections. The closure is a gripping closure which includes a cover member and a gripping stirrup, wherein the cover member has at one longitudinal side thereof a claw for engaging behind one of the closing sections. At the other longitudinal side of the cover member, the gripping stirrup is pivotally mounted and forms in the pivoted state a claw for engaging behind the other closing section. When the gripping stirrup is pivoted beyond a dead center position, the longitudinal edges of the socket pipe are pressed together.

  • Patent number: 5113038
    Abstract: A cable splice assembly for connecting and branching cables, particularly telecommunication cables. The splice assembly includes a longitudinally divided pipe sleeve and longitudinal sealing element between the abutting edges of the pipe sleeve. Transversely divided sealing members surrounded by the pipe sleeve are arranged at the ends of the pipe sleeve. The sealing members have cable passage openings adaptable to different cable diameters. The circumferential sealing elements are pressed in circumferential locking grooves between the pipe sleeve and sealing member. The circumferential sealing elements are divided O-type sealing rings with sealing tongues at the ends thereof. The O-type sealing rings have two sealing projections which engage in the abutting area of the sealing member halves. The sealing projections have locking recesses.

  • Patent number: 5110564
    Abstract: A device for accommodating catalyst in particular a primary and a secondary catalyst in the production of synthesis gas in an auto-thermal reformer has the primary catalyst being accommodated in a plurality of catalyst tubes, providing an optimal, and above all, compact design, guaranteeing sustained optimum gas flow and expansion properties in the context of an overall exothermic reaction. This is achieved in that each individual primary catalyst tube (11) correlates with an individual secondary catalyst and that the primary catalyst tube (11) continues in the form of a narrow feed tube (11a) that extends through the respective secondary catalyst (13).

  • Patent number: 5109953
    Abstract: A formwork arrangement for erecting a structural wall of castable material, for example, of concrete. The arrangement includes at least one work platform and formwork plates which have a large surface area. For erecting the structural wall, the formwork plates and the work platform are progressively vertically raised by the height of the formwork plates. A support frame which extends parallel to the platform is provided above the formwork plates of a formwork section. Horizontally extending rails which are horizontally spaced from each other are mounted on the support frame. The rails can be swiveled about a vertical axis. A carriage is slidably mounted on each of the rails. Each carriage has a suspended anchor member on a side facing the formwork plate. The anchor member can be connected to an upper edge of the formwork plates.

  • Patent number: 5107693
    Abstract: A die (2) formed of two halves (4, 5) is placed in a container (7) filled with an incompressible liquid. The die halves have a plane of contact disposed in parallel relation with and spaced from the axis of a hollow member to be deformed within a die cavity formed by the die halves. Mandrils (15) are forced into sealing contact with the open ends of the hollow member by hydraulic cylinders. A high deformation pressure is supplied into the hollow member and the mandrils are secured in sealing contact with the hollow member against such pressure.
