Abstract: The device, adapted to be associated with a motorized hauling installation, comprises a self-clamping jaws block with a safety cable passing through it onto which the load can be transferred by clamping the jaws. The jaws block is connected by means of control rods to a mobile chassis of which one end is adapted to pivot, in case of a fall, about a fixed point of the casing, this pivoting action activating an electric detector which stops the machine motor. (FIG. 1).

Abstract: A sphygmomanometer cuff adapted to be easily applicable to any limb of a patient by himself. The cuff comprises an elongated flexible double layered fabric strap holding an inflatable pouch with tubes to be connected at the outside of the strap to a sphygmomanometer and to an air pump, and having a length sufficient to wrap by about one and a half to two turns round the patient's limb. A loop shaped rigid member is fitted at one longitudinal end of the strap, and received in the other longitudinal end thereof is a resiliently compressible rod like member. The rod like member can be forced through the loop shaped rigid member and prevents the strap from withdrawing from the loop shaped rigid member. A pair of female and male adhesive tapes are provided on the strap and are spaced apart by a distance permitting superimposing for fastening when the strap is wrapped round a patient's limb so as to stop the flow of blood through the arteries.

Abstract: The optical reading system is provided for displaying the luminous digits of the display of an electronic pocket calculator. The calculator is held within a housing which carries an optical reversing system above the digital display whereby a non-reversed image of the digits can be viewed in a substantially vertical plane. The reversing system is preferably formed by a cylindrical lens and a mirror.

Abstract: This invention relates to clamping devices and more particularly to a quick release clamping device capable of holding adjustable length means in adjusted effective length between an anchor element and the clamping device.

Abstract: An ejector serves for suspending under aircraft loads which have suspension rings or saddle members, both of known kind. The ejector includes a carrier device which has, for each load suspension point, a first pivoted hook which can coact with a saddle member, a fastener disposed adjacent to the first hook, and a detachable device removably mounted in the fastener, the detachable device having a housing for receiving the upper part of a suspension ring, a second hook pivotable about a horizontal pin and serving, in a closed position, to lock the suspension ring in the housing, and a spring urging the second hook against the first hook so that the second hook follows opening and closing movements of the first hook and is itself thereby moved into opening and closing positions.

Abstract: A slide bar for guiding the carriage of a measuring or tracing device along a side of a levelling plate. The slide bar includes a guide rail which is divided into a first strip and a second strip having respective guide faces, the first and second strips being connected by a connector capable of acting as a biaxial joint, and the second strip being positionable adjustably with respect to the levelling plate by means of securing devices and distance pieces such that it may be brought exactly into parallelism with a reference line on the levelling plate.

Abstract: The invention provides an improved method and apparatus for pipe bending. In the method a leading portion of a length of pipe is heated and bent around a mandrel into a pipe bend, whereafter it is hot calibrated or sized to finished dimensions and at the same time cut off and trimmed to size at both ends. In a machine for carrying out the method, there are a heating chamber and an interchangeable bending mandrel. At the end of the bending mandrel there is a horizontally functioning calibrating or sizing device. A severing device is both in front of and behind the calibrating device for cutting off and trimming the pipe bend, and the pipe bend is movable both longitudinally and/or transversely in the horizontal plane.

Abstract: In a gear for arresting aircraft at the ends of a takeoff or landing strip, a net is protected against weather conditions by being folded and enclosed in a bag pressed against the strip tarmac by fixed ropes, a movable rope being provided for normally closing said bag. When this rope is released, the net can move out from the bag, the rope movement being associated with the actuation of the posts supporting the lateral ends of the net disposed across the strip.

Abstract: An electronic digital display scale with a label printer adapted to weigh an article, to print a measured weight of said article on a label and to adhere said label onto said article weighed, wherein the printed label is held by a label transfer device by means of adhering or suction and transferred to an applying position outside a frame, thereby said label is applied to the weighted article by depressing said weighed article against the label retained by said label transfer device.

Abstract: The driving mirror assembly comprises a carrier and mirror pivotable in relation to a base by motor driven spindles. The carrier is mounted on the base by a universal ball joint and is coupled to the base by a cross piece of spring sheet metal which engages around the universal joint. The spring sheet metal is cruciform in shape so as to have four connecting points, a diagonally opposite plan of points being connected respectively to a pair of posts attached to the carrier and the other diagonally opposite pair of points being connected respectively to a pair of posts arranged on said base.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for stereoscopic measurement of an actual value of depth in a subject through its three-dimensional image obtained from two stereoscopically photographed films by utilizing three factors, that is, the center of optical axis of an X-ray tube or a camera which is indexed from the films at the time of stereoscopic photography, distance of movement from the first photographic point to the second photographic point and distance from the X-ray tube or the lens to the film.

Abstract: Orange or other fruit juice is concentrated by forming ice therein and separating the ice from the juice in a draining column followed by centrifugation.

Abstract: A band clamp including a band means wound in a ringwise fashion and showing a loop at the jointing point of the two free ends, a guide-plate provided with a notch or cutting in which the loop is caused to pass, a screw which may be screwed transversally to the end of the loop, and a U-shaped member, supporting a screw and disposed with the free ends checking with the guide-plate.

Abstract: Apparatus for cooling hops comprises a cooling chamber, charging means for hops to be cooled at one end of the chamber, discharging means for cooled hops at the other end of the chamber, a gas-permeable surface within the chamber for supporting a bed of hops, means for conveying hops deposited on said surface by said charging means towards said discharging means, means for maintaining a bed of hops of predetermined depth on said surface and means for passing cold gas through the bed of hops on said surface. In order to reduce adverse effects on the cooling conditions, both the charging and discharging means are constructed as air locks. The gas-permeable surface and the means for maintaining the bed of hops at a predetermined depth are preferably both endless mesh screen conveyor belts. Means for cooling and recycling gas may be associated with the cooling chamber and the whole apparatus may be integrated in a continuous lupulin recovery process.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for making laminated sheets in which a fusion adhesive is applied to both sides of a sheet core, the melting point of the adhesive being below the conversion point of the sheet core, the core being provided with covering sheets, heated to the melting point of the adhesive, moulded and cooled.
