Abstract: A motor driven device for transferring workpieces between two stations possesses a holding device for the workpieces arranged on the lower end of a lever linkage. This linkage comprises an operating lever, which at its top end articulates with a crank lever, which pivots about a stationary crank lever axis. The center part of the operating lever articulates with the free end of a guide lever which at its other end pivots about a stationary guide lever axis under the crank lever axis. During transfer motion the linkage runs through a center position, in which the guide lever, the upper lever arm of the operating lever and the upwardly directed crank lever are on a straight line. At one stationary lever axis there is a driven shaft which is keyed to the lever thereat.

Abstract: A rectangular guide way having side and end segments carry a plurality of pucks in each segment. The pucks have side edges parallel to the side segments and end edges parallel to the end segments so that the pucks ride smoothly along the guide way. The side and end segments are connected at corners where the pucks are transferred from guiding along the side edges in the side segments to guiding along the end edges in the end segments. A walking beam with a plurality of upwardly extending pins is moveable alone each of the segments. In an upper engagement position, the pins of the walking beam engage holes in each of the pucks in its segment. In this way all pucks are indexed an exact amount along each segment. A locking beam which is moveable only upwardly and downwardly may also be provided for firmly holding the pucks when the walking beams are disengaged therefrom.

Abstract: A machine and a method for dyeing fabrics with known dyestuffs in which the fabric has its ends sewn to a leader and forms an endless loop that continually passes through a scray and dyeing stations such as a padder, a foam applicator, a steamer, and a washbox, with the dyestuff of the stations being replaceable during the passing of the leader with which substantially small fabric dyelots may be dyed in a continuous machine that can process variable length lots.

Abstract: A discharge machining apparatus adapted to permit the supply of discharge current to be cut off without increasing electrode consumption. Arrangements are made to gradually increase the level of discharge current, rather than maintaining the current level of discharge pulse. By doing so, electrode consumption becomes independent of the pulse width of the discharge pulse, so the discharge current can be cut off immediately after an abnormal state such as short circuiting or an instantaneous interruption of the discharge current occurs, eliminating the danger of deteriorating the quality of the machining surface of a workpiece.

Abstract: A test tube with several reagent layers affecting the detection reaction, which are separated from one another by means of a permeable interlayer, is improved so that an undesired exchange of reaction products or reagents between the layers is prevented during the measurement process and also during the dwell time, i.e. before and after the measurement. To this end, the interlayer is provided with a valve unit that opens only during the flow.

Abstract: An electric wheel drive for a wheel body having a drive housing with an interior side facing toward the body and having an opposite exterior side facing away from the body includes a drive motor which has a drive shaft facing the exterior side. Second stage star-type reduction gear and a first stage planetary reduction gear are connected to the drive shaft of the drive motor and they are located adjacent the exterior side. The second stage gear has an outer driving gear surface which is in driving engagement with the wheel hubs of a tire. The construction includes a cooling air passage extending from said housing interior side past said drive motor first and then through first and second gear stages to the exterior side.

Abstract: A rubber structure contact connector includes a support upon which is placed an electrical contact. An insulating material, such as rubber, is applied over the contact and overlies the support and it has a portion which is formed as a raised dome-shaped resilient compressible portion or actuating key. On the interior of the dome-shaped, resilient compressible portion, there is a surface which has an oil-resistant layer thereon and a conductive portion which overlies the oil-resistant layer. The conductive portion is aligned over the electrical contact. In another embodiment, instead of the covering on the interior surface of the key which includes only an oil-resistant layer and an electrical conductive part, there is an electro-conductive part on the interior surface followed by an oil-resistant layer and another electrical conductive part.

Abstract: Pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives of the general formula [I] and their physiologically acceptable salts are provided: ##STR1## where R is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a methyl group, and n is 0, 1 or 2. The pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives and their salts exhibit an excellent antagonistic effect on slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis and, therefore, are useable for the treatment of allergic diseases.

Abstract: In known lung-controlled valves, the positive pressure in a breathing connection is established by the fact that the control diaphragm of the valve is tensioned by spring force. There, however, the opening force brought about by the spring is greatest when the inlet valve is closed, while it is smallest when the inlet valve is completely open. To keep the opening force as small as possible with the valve closed, and to leave the opening force approximately unchanged with increasing opening of the inlet valve, a magnet is provided on the inside of the housing cover of the lung-controlled diaphragm and the control diaphragm comprises a magnetizable part which is held at a minimum distance from the magnet by spacers when the inlet valve is closed.

The bearings also include a small diameter portion, provided at the other end thereof, which is extended continuously from the large diameter portion via a shoulder having such a diameter as to be fitted into the bearing mounting hole in the case. A recess is provided on the end face of the small diameter portion so as to permit a substantial increase the distance l between the bearings.
