Abstract: In a rotary tube cooler for indirect cooling of pulverized to granular material with a revolving drum, the drum shell of the rotary tube cooler is formed of a tube system through which a liquid cooling medium is conducted. The tube system comprises either tubes meandering in longitudinal direction of the rotary tube cooler, or be formed of spiral tubes, or the combination of meandering and spiral tubes. The tubes are welded together. The feed of the cooling medium and the discharge of the heated cooling medium occurs via swivel joints. Connected downstream is a device for utilization of the waste heat of the rotary tube cooler.

The feed device, designed so as to be subject to little wear, permits the execution of purely translatory movements with great accuracy, in that the pitman drive has associated with it a parallel guiding means which together with the pitman drive is articulated to the support of the work holder.

Abstract: It is a question of a valve subplate on which valves or other components may be mounted. The subplate has a prismatic, i.e. plate- or block-like form, and serves for the supply of the valves or similar components through at least one internal duct, when opens at one end at a mounting surface adapted for the attachment of the valves, and at the other end at a connection side of the connection member for joining with a pressure fluid line or the like. At its end arranged on the connection side the duct is connected with a duct section having a threaded socket extending thereinto and also with an outwardly projecting male nipple extending from the connection side and formed integrally therewith and adjoining for example a further duct section coaxially or parallel to the axis thereof so that the nipple is connected with the said duct, and a pressure lead or the like may selectively connected with the threaded socket by virtue of the screw threads thereon or slipped onto the male nipple.

Abstract: An assembly device for the assembly and disassembly of axle bearings of motor vehicles or of wheel flange hubs, makes it possible to press in or pull out the roller bearings to be installed in or pulled out of a cylinder bore of a bearing cylinder while being guided so as to be centered. The assembly device can also press a wheel flange hub into a roller bearing that is already installed in a bearing cylinder. The device has a threaded spindle (1) which is guided and supported in an axial support bearing (2) and is provided with a threaded nut (11) in contact with a pressure transmitting part (8) or counterbearing. The axial support bearing (2) is disposed concentrically in the face wall (3) of a tubular spacer (4) which has on its face opposite the axial support bearing (2), a concentric support shoulder (26). An annular disc provided with an annular extention (8') serves as pressure transmitting part (8).

Abstract: The invention concerns a manipulator (1) which is able to automatically receive the tool holder (7), to clamp it and to set it down again, in order thus to make possible a rapid changing of different tools. For this purpose, the last drive element (6) of the manipulator (1) as well as the tool holder (7) are provided with coupling parts (8,9) and with cooperating screw systems (16,17). The manipulator-side screw system (17) is mounted via an operating element (11) for rotation at a second operating element (10) which forms a rotation barrier (13) with the tool holder (7) as the coupling parts (8,9) come together. The screwing process is actuated by rotation of the last drive member (6). The two operating elements (10,11) are furthermore non-rotationally connected through a fixing mechanism (20). This rotation lock is abolished as soon as the rotation barrier (13) between the operating part (10) and the tool holder (7) becomes effective.

Abstract: The invention relates to a machine for manufacturing flat bodies in a continuous linear process. This is attained by the intermittent forward movement of the moulds on a closed circuit static runway, passing through the various operative steps for forming the pieces. The runway defines a rectangular trajectory and the moulds are square with bevelled vertices forming vertical channels for the actuation of centering elements. The moulds cover the totality of the circuit with the exception of two spaces at the diagonally opposed angles. Each straight section is provided with a pusher facing a buffer for the simultaneous and combined action until each mould reaches the end of the circuit. At a point of the circuit there is a fixed hopper beneath which there reciprocally moves a carriage bearing a metering hopper. Once the pieces have been formed they are removed by a pneumatic extractor having a multiple suction head.

Abstract: To change the surface tension of cup-like containers by means of corona treatment, the containers are placed on a mandrel and are moved by drive wheels in such a way that the cup-like container is caused to roll off on the mandrel with the inside of the wall. Via an electrode the discharge current is supplied across the discharge gap to the cup-like container and it is removed via the mandrel, which is connected as counter-electrode. To avoid a discharge gap on the inside of the wall, the mandrel has connected to it a guide shoe which always applies against the inside of the wall.

Abstract: The invention relates to the production of a guidance system (9, 14) for two machine parts (1, 2) which are movable relative to each other and are interconnected through this guidance system. To protect this guide track (9) disposed on the first machine part (1) from the track dust, grease, oil and the like, it is disposed in an almost completely closed guide channel. This guide channel is accessible only from the top through a slot engaged by guide elements (14) of the other machine part (2). The slot is covered on the one hand by the housing of machine part (2), and in the area outside of this housing it is closed by a belt (4). The guide track (9) is thus closed to the outside in any position of the machine part (2). If a toothed belt drive (3) is used, the toothed belt (4) acts as driving and covering element at the same time.

Abstract: To supply the implement, mostly a welding tool, of a manipulator (1), with energy, the invention, instead of running the supply lines in the known manner from a fixed point in a large, freely suspended loop directly to the tool, provides an external suspension of a line bundle (10) along the constructional assemblies of the manipulator. In accordance with the invention, this line bundle (10) is held in place and guided in tubular casings (13) which are disposed at the individual assemblies (3-5) of the manipulator (1), with inserts (19) being provided in these casings (13) for receiving and holding lines of unequal size (parallel with each other) which are adapted to the various functions of the manipulator and can quickly be exchanged.

Abstract: A process for producing porous films which comprises blending 100 parts by weight of a polyolefin resin with 50 to 500 parts by weight of barium sulfate preferably having an average particle diameter of 0.1 to 7 .mu.m, melting the resulting resin composition and forming it into a film, and then stretching the film at least uniaxially by a factor of 1.5 to 7.

Abstract: A method of locating a leak in a block of pipes comprises the filling of the pipe with inert gas and the sealing of the pipe. Thereafter, suction is applied to the pipe for drawing air or atmospheric gas into the pipe through the leak. Care is taken to insure that the block of pipes is sealed, except for the suction port and the leak position. Once a layer of air or atmospheric gas is established in the pipe near the leak position, inert gas is drawn from the pipe by the pump, in a direction toward an oxygen or atmospheric gas sensor. By doing this, the layer of air or atmospheric gas is moved along in the pipe from the leak position toward the oxygen sensor. A measurement is taken of the volume of gas being drawn while the layer of air or atmospheric gas is being moved along the pipe. The oxygen or atmospheric sensor indicates when the layer of air or atmospheric gas has arrived.
