Gripping members are provided in connection with the hole for gripping the shaft portion, the handle portions are foldable towards each other about the folding joint and guide and/or locking members are provided for guiding the handle portions towards their correct mutual position in the folded condition and/or for locking the handle portions to each other in the folded condition.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for removing and transferring refuse from serving trays which on conveyor belts are carried past different stations for removing dirty dishes, removing refuse and washing the trays. According to the invention a vacuum is produced in a suction nozzle provided immediately adjacent the path along which the trays are conveyed, and the refuse is transferred through a transfer duct which is connected to the nozzle and through which the vacuum is produced at the nozzle. The invention also relates to an installation for performing the method.

Abstract: This invention is directed to an improved forming fabric for papermaking machines having a transverse nonwoven sheet contact layer adhered to a base fabric layer, the fluid flow passageways between adjacent structural members in the nonwoven sheet contact layer being smaller than the fluid flow passageways in the adjacent base fabric layer and in fluid communication with the nonwoven sheet contact surface or the nonwoven surface adjacent to the base fabric or both. The sheet contact layer may be comprised of fibers, filaments, monofilaments, open cell foam or the like.

Abstract: A method for a supervising and/or controlling of discharged volume or weight of plastic mass flow for e.g. extrusion, injection moulding or blow moulding in a system including a plastification section, which feeds the plastic melt to a volumetric discharge device. This discharge device discharges in turn the molten material continuously or in portions to a forming tool. The pressure and temperature of the plastic melt is determined in connection with the discharge device and the density of the plastic material is calculated by means of these measured values.

Abstract: Bracket destined to be mounted on a wall to extend therefrom and so designed that a separately manufactured material in the form of sheets, such as a glass wool mat, is suspended on the bracket by pressing the material against the bracket and causing the material to be pierced by the bracket. The bracket is made out of bent wire (121, 122).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for forming a screed guide for a vibrating screed or the like in connection with the casting and direct smoothing of especially single-course structural floors and at the locations where the walls of the next story are to be cast.

Abstract: A trigger mechanism for an aerial device including a unitary housing having three longitudinal bores extending therethrough and a spring biased rod or wire-like mechanism which includes a plurality of bends forming various portions which can be inserted into such bores after such rod has been bent and a spring has been attached to such rod.

Abstract: An apparatus (1) for work inside piping comprising an elongate clamping and/or moving unit (2) with a working attachment (8) at one end. The unit (2) is provided with two arrays of radially projectable feet (6, 7), suitably at either end thereof. The working attachment (8) includes radially projectable elements (22), all of which are adapted for being displaced to the same extent, and one array of feet (6) placed at the end of the unit (2) opposite the working attachment being adapted such that its feet are thrust out to the same extent. The unit (2) suitably comprises two parts (4, 5) which are mutually, reciprocally movable, there being an array of feet (6, 7) arranged in each part (4, 5).

Abstract: A heating apparatus including a burner and a heat exchanger wherein the burner supplies a primary fluid and exhaust gas to the heat exchanger. Secondary fluid supplied to the heat exchanger is first heated within the heat exchanger by the primary fluid and then is further heated within the heat exchanger by the exhaust gas.

Abstract: A fluorescent lamp including a lamp bulb which has been coated with phosphor powder which has been ground in an attritor to reduce the powder weight without loss in light output and light maintenance. A process to produce such a fluorescent lamp is also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates briefly to a jet propulsion assembly for ships, the assembly including a propeller pump of an axial or a semiaxial type. The propeller pump has a pump housing (6), the inlet of which is connected to a water inlet channel and the outlet of which is connected to an outlet device. In the water flow channel through the pump housing a pump wheel (11) is rotably journalled in a stationary casing (8). A drive shaft (12) of the pump wheel (11) extends from a drive unit through the water inlet channel to the pump wheel (11). The pump wheel (11) and the drive shaft (12) are connected by a flexible coupling (13) which is essentially torsional resistant but permits angular deviations between the drive shaft (12) and the rotational shaft of the pump wheel (11).

Abstract: An eccentric gear comprising a stationary gear wheel (2) and an eccentric gear wheel (9). The eccentric wheel is freely mounted on the input shaft and is driven round by eccentric means (4, 6) causing the eccentric wheel to roll round the internal teeth on the stationary wheel. A driving dog transmits the slow rotation of the eccentric wheel to an output shaft (14). Distinguishing for the invention is that the teeth are corrected such that the eccentric wheel is adjusted with the aid of the two eccentric means such that there is practically no backlash. A computer calculated least clearance between respective top lands on the teeth is obtained with respect to tooth meshing. The eccentric means comprises two cylindrical sleeves arranged eccentrically one in the other. At one end part of each of the sleeves, one of which is arranged eccentrically in the other, there is a radially outstanding tongue (5, 7).

Abstract: Angle transducer unit of the multiturn measuring type for absolute measurement of the angular position of a rotatable shaft. A first transducer (10) of the absolute angular measurement type with a drive shaft (3) is non-rotatably mounted on the rotatable shaft. A second angle transducer (11) of the absolute angular measurement type has a driven shaft (4). There are gear wheels (1,2) mounted on the drive and driven shafts, these gear wheels being mutually in mesh to form a gear for up or down gearing of the rotational rate of the drive shaft. The two angle transducers, e.g. resolvers, are intended for being conventionally connected to an apparatus for measuring the differential angular position of the shafts. Novel to the angle transducer unit is that the gear wheels include an internally toothed gear wheel (2) and an externally toothed gear wheel (1).

Abstract: A method is provided for constructing an electric lamp such as, for example, a tungsten halogen capsule, using carbon monoxide as a reducing gas to remove oxides from lamp components during the manufacture thereof. To this end, prior to evacuation the lamp envelope is filled with a forming gas such as, for example, a carbon monoxide- nitrogen mixture, and the envelope is given one or more light-ups to thereby deoxidize the lamp components.

Abstract: A stethoscope for use with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) screenings in order to supervise a patient, including a bell chest piece adapted to pick up audible heart and breathing sounds or other bodily sounds from the patient, a flexible hollow tube connected at one end thereof to the bell chest piece and adapted to transmit audible heart and breathing sounds from the bell chest piece.
