Abstract: A thermionic hairpin cathode with a long operating life is made of a high melting metal wire, in which the temperature distribution along the legs is influenced either by locally increasing the radiation at a distance of 10 to 50% of the leg length from the crown or by decreasing the radiation in the immediate vicinity of the crown without changing the wire legs, possibly also by combining both measures, so that by increasing the temperature gradient in the crown region the maximum temperature is shifted close to or at the emission center.

Abstract: A desk has a vertically adjustable top and at least one vertical guide member movable upwardly and downwardly on a support or frame. A spring leg is disposed between the frame and vertically adjustable desk components. The spring leg is pivoted at one end to a guide member and its other end is braced against a curved rail. The braced end is movable on the rail and lockable in positions corresponding to accommodate various loads on the desk top. The curve of the rail is chosen so that in any position of the braced spring end, the vertical components of force acting on the guide member are equal, at least in two opposite end positions of the desk top. This results in equilibrium in each vertical position for every load on the desk top, after the spring leg has been adjusted.

Abstract: A method and device for the opening of breakable ampules, especially glass test tubes, includes a scoring tool for scratching the end which can be removed by a break-off device. A clean scratching of the ampule end can be executed, producing a smooth fracture by applying an ever constant force exerted on the ampule ends, in order to avoid lengthwise scratches in the body of the ampule from internal stresses. For this, an ampule receiver is provided, into which the ampule can be introduced as far as a stop. It is then rotated while lodged herein with the end of the ampule against the scoring tool. The scratched end of the ampule can be broken off when the ampule is advanced beyond a breaking step.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for automatically joining and machining assemblies consisting of several components each and retained on a work-piece carrier (4) in a transfer line with retoolable machining stations (3). In the machining station (3), the assembly components are first taken off the workpiece carrier, brought into the joining position relative to each other, retained there and machined, in particular tacked or finish-welded. To carry out these various activities and to make the machining station highly flexible, the latter has several tool carriers (22, 23) which can move in at least three axes. The tool carriers (22, 23) are each disposed in a parallel plane above or below the workpiece carrier (4) so they can travel freely. The tool carriers (22, 23) support individual tools which they can change automatically at stationary or movable tool magazines (31, 33, 34).

Abstract: The invention refers to some improvements in the foldable frames for children's pushchairs, of the type which includes the handlebar fitted slidingly over the front legs, with the folding of the pushchair being obtained with the bringing down of the handlebar. With these improvements, a very complete, light children's pushchair with a simple structure and very compact folding up is obtained. These advantages are achieved by structuring the frame on the basis of a linked triangulation formed on each side by the rear (3) and front (1) legs, and by a base frame (5), the rear leg (3) being linked by its upper end (9) on a solidly jointed flange (7) of the lower end of the brace members of the handlebar (6) and along which it slides guided by the front leg (1), the front (1) and rear (3) legs being related to each other by the base frame (5) and the front legs (1) being finished off at the top with a guiding flange (8) along which the corresponding brace member of the handlebar (6) slides.

Abstract: A method and a spark plug construction to ignite very lean fuel air mixtures with the aid of an ignition chamber with separate ignition, which is arranged in the main combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, connected to the main combustion chamber 20 through transfer channels 21. Transfer channels may be provided which proceed tangentially, whereby rich fuel air admixtures or additional fuel is brought, valve timed, to the area of at least one transfer channel 21 outside the ignition chamber through a supply channel 24. During a compression stroke the very lean mixture in the main combustion chamber is pressed into the ignition chamber 16 through the transfer channels, which results in a very good intermixing with the additional fuel or the admixture due to the turbulent movement through the transfer channels 21 and the long path to the spark gap. This guarantees a very safe ignition.

Abstract: Automatic portable unsolderer consisting of a solenoid supplied by alternating current, a cylinder whose piston has a rod consisting the core of said solenoid, including too a reservoir and a heating member, all of them axially engaged as above-mentioned. Through the heating member end, the material that has to be unsoldered is melted and through operation of the solenoid, the piston draws back and suctions said material, which is collected, in a solid condition, in the reservoir which includes a retaining member, easily removable, and a threaded plug. On the outlet of the reservoir a one-way valve is disposed so that the air compressed by the piston, through a return spring that encircles the rod, doesn't flow through the suction conduct avoiding in such manner that the air can drag soldering material particles. The ejected air is by-passed through a side hole provided with a one-way valve that is reversely oriented.

Abstract: A helmet fastening system for protective helmets includes a drawstring system which holds the helmet smoothly to the head of the wearer in the forehead and temple areas and in the neck area simply by tightening only a chin strap. Two drawstring loops are movably arranged in an integrated guiding channel which comprises a leather pocket parallel to and attached to the helmet rim. The length-adjustable chin strap form a closed drawstring system outside the guiding channel. The tightening of the chin strap leads to the spreading of the force between the chin strap, and two chin strap loops of the drawstring system so that the protective helmet and the leather pockets forming the guiding channels fit tightly in the neck and forehead areas of the wearer. A slipping of the protective helment even under the influence of external force is substantially impossible.
