Abstract: A method in which a miscellaneous drain water purifying device having a plurality of separator tanks connected to miscellaneous drain water sources via a change valve, receiving miscellaneous drain water, leaving it stagnant, and separating sedimentation and floating substances and a decomposition tank connected to a plurality of the respective separator tanks and receiving flow-out liquid from the sedimentation separator tanks is used, while one of the sedimentation separator tanks receives miscellaneous drain water and carries out sedimentation separation of sludge, sends out the top level clear water in the quantity equal to the received water quantity to the decomposition tank and carries out purifying treatment, an aeration treatment of the sludge separated from miscellaneous drain water by the previous stage prior to transfer is carried out in the other separator tank which is shut off from the miscellaneous drain water sources via the change valve; such transfer is alternatively repeated at suitable in
Abstract: Power supplying unit to be used for supplying power to such a load as the motor for driving a submerged pump that scoops liquid out of a tank storing low temperature liquid like LNG and so forth. The power supplying unit has a ceramic sleeve fixed to the flange, a penetrating conductor inserted into this ceramic sleeve, and the ceramic sleeve and the penetrating conductor are coupled air-tightly to each other inside the flange (inside the tank) sealed outside the flange with a bellows of semi-mountain construction in cross section. The bellows has an elasticity and is mounted, when the ceramic sleeve and the penetrating conductor are linearly expanded at the maximum temperature during practical or normal use, or at the temperature slightly higher than the said level. The bellows is mounted between the ceramic sleeve and the penetrating conductor in a state where it is displaced to its maximum length due to its self elasticity.

Abstract: A vehicular roof drip moulding comprising a substantially U-shaped clamp portion adapted to be fitted onto a flange portion on the side body of an automotive vehicle in a clamped state, and a pressure contact portion extending from one side part of said clamp portion and coming in pressure contact with the side body under the effect of resilient force of the clamp portion. The other one of the pair of oppositely located pieces has a sectional height which is varied in correspondence to variation of height of the side body from location to location in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: A pivoting bearing for mounting pull rods in motor vehicles, which includes a metallic housing (2) with a cylindrical inner jacket, a metallic inner part (1), and an elastomer body (3) arranged between the housing (2) and the inner part (1). The elastomer body (3) compensates axial, radial, and cardanic movements of the housing (2) in relation to the inner part (1) by molecular deformation. The elastomer body (3), which cooperates with the cylindrical inner jacket of the housing radially in the outward direction, is arranged adheringly on the inner part (1) and is pre-tensioned axially between plate rings (4, 5). The external diameter of the plate rings (4 and 5) is undersized compared with the internal diameter of the inner jacket of the housing. A sliding surface is obtained on the cylindrical outer jacket of the elastomer body under the axial pre-tensioning of this. This sliding surface permits rotary movement of the inner part (1) in the housing (2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a tripping mechanism for semiautomatic and automatic firearms with a closed-type bolt carriage and which can be used in either a single shot firing mode or an automatic firing mode. The mechanism has a sear 4 slidably fitted on the trigger between the oscillating pivot 5 of the trigger and a resting plane 6a formed on the trigger, away from the pivot. The sear is stressed by a spring 11 which normally pushes it towards the hammer to interact with the latter. The sear 4 is susceptible to movement with the trigger when the trigger is operated and is also susceptible to a longitudinal sliding on the trigger in one direction due to spring 11 and in the opposite direction due to the hammer at least during the engaging in armed position phase, as well as the balancing phase between oscillating pivot 5 and resting plane 6a.
Abstract: Process and device for aligning and jointly processing flaccid workpiece layers (4, 104). The workpiece layers (4, 104) to be processed jointly are brought toward one another in the hanging position by endless conveyors (1, 101). A scanning and aligning station (10) is located in the delivery path of the two endless conveyors (1, 101). The workpiece layer is temporarily removed from the respective conveyor in at least one of the endless conveyors and aligned in relation to the other workpiece layer. The workpiece layer is then returned in the aligned position to the conveyor. After which the workpiece layers that are associated with one another will leave the scanning and aligning station (10) together. The present invention permits simplified fastening of clamps (16, 17; 116, 117) for the workpiece layers to the endless conveyors.
Abstract: Anisotropic rare-earth permanent magnets characterized in that an aggregate of a plurality of blocks, to each of which anisotropy is imparted, is formed using powders of magnetic material containing rare-earth elements, and the adjoining blocks are powder-metallurgically bonded together under pressure into one piece; a method of making anisotropic rare-earth permanent magnets by molding anisotropic blocks by magnetic-field molding, arranging, aggregating and sealing a plurality of blocks in a bag, and cold hydrostatic pressing the aggregate of blocks in the absence of magnetic field; and a suitable metal mold for magnetic-field molding anisotropic permanent magnets of a relatively large size.
Abstract: A process and device for automatically feeding workpiece layers to be processed in a hanging position in a vertical plane to a scanning and aligning station (R). The workpiece layers are grasped individually in a horizontal starting position, brought into the vertical position, and transferred to the scanning and aligning station (R), from which they are taken over directly after alignment and forwarded to the processing station (N). The device for carrying out this process has two conveyors (F and F'), each of which consists of a feed conveyor (Z; Z') designed as a manipulator and a transport mechanism (T; T') formed by a conveyor belt (48; 48'). The workpiece layers are held by controllably movable clamps (20; 20') in the scanning and aligning station (R). The transport mechanisms (T and T') can be moved to and fro between a carrying position and a non-carrying position in the area of the clamps (20 and 20').
Abstract: An electrochemical gas sensor for detecting gaseous components in the environment has a diffusion membrane, a measuring electrode, a counterelectrode, and, if desired, a reference electrode, pressed together in a disk stack, which are accommodated in a pot-shaped cover, which in turn is beaded around the sealing edge (6) of a housing pot (1). A compression spring (21) in the housing pot (1) presses a wick disk (20) against the measuring electrode (12), so that a constant and pressurized, intimate and sealed positioning of the disk stack is guaranteed. It is achieved as a result that no additional contact leads from the electrodes to the outer space of the sensor to the measuring and evaluating unit are needed, so that leakage-free sealing of the sensor to the outside is possible, and that a constantly stable, reproducible measured signal is obtained because of the defined and narrow electrolyte film on the surface of the measuring electrode.
