Abstract: The invention concerns a method and device for adjusting the fitting depth of a tool in a tool-holder, in particular in a tool-holder to be banded. The method is characterized in that it consists in performing a prior calibration of a sensing assembly (2) by positioning a sensing slide (4) of said assembly (2) into a bore (V) of a calibrating support (1) and by re-setting a viewing means of said sensing assembly (2), then in positioning the sensing assembly above a tool-holder and moving the adjustable stop of said tool-holder towards the sensing slide (4), so as to determine a travel thereof corresponding to the required fitting depth. The invention is applicable in the field of the environment of machine-tools, more particularly comprising tool-holders to be banded.

Abstract: The subject of the present invention is a mechanism for operating sets of switch points, comprising an actuator control assembly (1) actuating two points operating half-bars (2), each connected to one point blade (switch rail), by a point-setting device (3) and by a manual control (4) connected in the actuator control assembly (1). The mechanism is one wherein actuation of the two points-operating half bars (2) by the actuator control assembly (1) is performed by way of rotary cam-drive devices (5), each one assigned to one operating half-bar (2) and wherein the points-setting device (3) is a device independent of the points-operating half-bar (2) and controlled by the actuator control assembly (1). The invention applies more particularly to the field of railway (railroad) infrastructure, particularly the operating of switch points.

The first resin matrix and the second resin matrix are substantially independent of each other, meeting at a boundary. An electrical conductor as well as a manufacturing method is likewise disclosed.

Abstract: A modular wheelchair ramp includes multiple, variously configurable ramp sections that are adapted to be assembled together to form or define a ramp surface upon which a wheelchair may traverse. The ramp sections may be held in an elevated orientation by support structures that may simultaneously receive mounting edges of adjacent ramp sections. Clamp members may then be used to securely clamp the adjacent ramp sections to the support structures. The wheelchair ramp may also be provided with adjustably formed railing assemblies that may include flexible wall assemblies installed to the railing assemblies.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid barrier assembly (1) comprising at least two barriers (2,3) each comprising a substantially rigid container and a front wall (5) against which liquid is intended to be incident. Adjacent barriers (2,3) are linked by a connector (12) which comprises a first relatively rigid portion (13) and a second relatively deformable portion (15). The portions (13, 15) are received in respective recesses defined in neighbouring side walls of adjacent barriers (2,3). The second portion (15) is deformed upon juxtaposition of adjacent barriers (2,3) in a predetermined manner so as to form an effective water-tight seal between the barriers (2,3).

Abstract: A golf cub comprising a head, a shaft assembly and a shaft attachment assembly. The head includes a body which includes a face and a back. The shaft assembly includes a shaft member. The shaft attachment assembly includes a primary plug assembly. The primary plug assembly includes a primary plug to which the shaft member is attached, and, a member which facilitates rotatably positioning of the primary plug relative to the back of the head, to, in turn, vary the angle of the shaft member relative to the back of the head.

Abstract: A container assembly having a container, a fitment and a cap assembly. The container has at least one panel and at least one seal sealing the at least one panel to define a cavity. The fitment is coupled with the container, comprising a body having a first end and a second end. The second end extends away from the container, wherein the fitment provides fluid communication with the cavity. The cap assembly is releasably attachable to the second end of the fitment. The cap assembly comprises a base and a cover. The base includes an upper surface, a lower surface and an opening extending therethrough. The opening including an upper annular rim extending from the upper surface of the base and a lower annular rim extending from the lower surface of the base. The cover is attachable to the base to cover the opening. The cover includes an annular ring that extends along at least a portion of the upper annular rim of the opening and the lower annular rim of the opening.

Abstract: A mooring system comprising a dock attachment line, a submerging member, a submerged sea anchoring line, a second submerging member and a plurality of craft attachment assemblies. The dock attachment line has a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is positioned at a dock and the distal end extends therefrom. The submerging member facilitates the submerging of the dock attachment line such that the distal end is positioned below the surface of the water. The submerged sea anchoring line has a first end extending from the distal end of the dock attachment line and a second end spaced apart therefrom. The second submerging member facilitates the submerging of the submerged sea anchoring line. The plurality of craft attachment assemblies extend toward the surface from the submerged sea anchoring line. Each craft attachment assembly includes a first end coupled to the submerged sea anchoring line and a second end directed toward a surface of water positioned thereabove.

Abstract: A starwheel assembly for use with a carcass dehairing machine comprising a starwheel having a central hub and at least one paddle deflection limiting member, as well as a scraper paddle. The central hub includes an arcuate body having an outer surface and an inner surface. Each paddle deflection limiting member includes a proximal end coupled to the outer surface of the body of the central hub and a distal end opposing the proximal end. A paddle attachment assembly facilitates attachment of the scraper paddle thereto. The configuration of the starwheel apparatus provides support for the scraper paddle and limits the movement thereof.

Abstract: A flexible bag container (10) is filled by a system (500) and method for filling the bag container (10). The flexible bag container (10) has a pair of walls (12, 14) and a spout member (18) attached to one side wall of the container. This spout member is opened and closed in the filling system. A plug member (22) is inserted into the spout member (18) from outside of the bag container (10) and is withdrawable in the opposite direction in order to open the bag container. The bag container is filled via the spout member after removal of the plug member outwardly of the bag container and into a filling head, and then the plug member is replaced from within the filling head into the spout member to close the bag container.

Abstract: A collapsible bag for dispensing liquids which includes at least one sheet sealed to define an enclosure and a fitment (spout) attached to the enclosure and out through which liquid in the enclosure is dispensed.
