Abstract: A manufacturing method for key tops includes the steps of molding a light-shielding film on a to-be-peeled shield by a plane printing, effecting colored printing to provide a readout part at a predetermined position on it in the state of a plane sheet prior to the 3-D molding, then sucking a printed light-shield film sheet on a metal mold with an evacuation system, adsorbing said light-shield film sheet onto the wall face in the metal mold. A push mold may be used with a suction system so as to be positioned in the female mold. Materials such as silicone are put into this metal mold for one-piece molding. A laser processing is effected on the surface of a key top prepared in a 3-D shape to form a desired pattern.

Abstract: A thermotherapy device with a hood (4), two flaps (6, 7) pivotable around hinges (5) for closing longitudinally extending, essentially triangular access opening portions in the hood. The opening has an essentially horizontally extending base edge (15). First access areas (12, 13) with the greatest width are directed to the outside, and second access areas (14), which are arranged opposite the first access areas (12, 13), face each other. Objects can be introduced into the interior space of the incubator with both hands simultaneously, without the climate within the hood (4) being compromised in an unacceptable manner. This is achieved by the access openings being designed as areas passing over into each other in the area of the second access areas (14), as a result of which a contiguous access opening (8) is formed in the hood (4).

Abstract: Package with safety lid and seal including a cylindrical body with a lid coupled by a thread at the mouth thereof and which includes an outside coaxial skirt having projections on its inside face. It is characterized in that the package body comprises around the body a seal made up with a strap weakly joined to this body, this strap having on the periphery, at least, one recess into which the corresponding projection of the skirt of the lid is fitted, preventing in this way the unscrewing of the lid. One of the ends of the sealing strap includes a handlelike extension facilitating through pulling, the tearing off and separation of the sealing strap with respect to the package body.

Abstract: An electrical connector for establishing an electrical connection to an electrical conductor. The connector includes a connector body with a cylindrical hull or recess for receiving the electrical conductor with an insulating layer. A contact screw is positioned in the connector body and the contact screw includes an end portion for displacing or piercing the insulating layer of the insulated conductor.

A connection device is provided for connecting the two legs of the T-shaped insert to the residual wall portions.

Abstract: The operative members in open pit mining apparatus, designed as strata cutting and loading machines are exposed to high wear and tear in practical operation. The cutter tools (3) are so designed that those picks (5) which are cutting are in their operating position while the picks (5) for the other working direction are swivelled out of the cutting orbit. They must be robust and always functional. Pick holders armed with picks (5) are therefore pivotally disposed on hinges on both sides in the direction of rotation on the cutter bars (1) arranged on the circumference of the cutting drum. Two pick holders on opposite sides, form a pair. These are interconnected in articulated manner by a bar of such length that one pick (5) can perform its winning action while the other pick (5) is angularly displaced out of the groove being cut. Due to the excavating resistance, the cutter tools (3a and 3b) automatically assume their operating position. A two-way latch is provided for fixation in either operating position.

Abstract: A projective device especially useful against hollow charge projectiles is formed of a plurality of spaced apart layers inclined obliquely to the main firing direction of the projectiles. A centrally located combination layer consists of two disrupter layers sandwiching a reaction or explosive layer. On either side of the combination layer is a retardation layer. A movably displaceable layer is located on the opposite of one retardation layer from the combination layer and forms the outside surface of the device, while an immovable layer is on the opposite side of the other retardation layer from the combination layer and forms the inside surface of the device. When a hollow charge projectile impacts against the device, the hollow charge spike generated by the projectile is disrupted on its path through the device so that the effectiveness of the spike is seriously impeded.
