Abstract: A bundle of supple bags for carrying articles comprises superposed bags joined in series by a separable connection of each of their two principal walls with the adjacent principal wall of an adjacent bag, in the vicinity of the opening. The separable connection is constituted by a glued or welded localized zone below the center of the edge of the opening. Each bag comprises, above this glued or welded localized zone, at least one support tongue which is joined in separable manner to at least the rear principal wall of the bag considering the direction of removal, this tongue being joined to the edge of said principal wall defining the opening of the bag and presenting at least one hole for the passage of a rod.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel products of the formula: ##STR1## in which R is selected from the group comprising H, OH, --O--COCH.sub.3 and --O--CO--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --CH.sub.3, in which n is between 1 and 8, and the salts of the products of the formula (I) with pharmaceutically acceptable acids.

Abstract: A flagpole assembly includes a hollow pole and a winch at the base of the pole. A halyard is connected to the winch, extends through the hollow pole and out an exit opening at its tip. The inner edge of the flag is removably mounted to fixed positions along an elongate flag trolley to keep the inner flag edge extended. The flag trolley includes an elongate U-shaped channel to which two pulleys are mounted. The halyard passes from the exit opening, around one pulley, between the legs of the channel and around the other pulley. The outer end of the halyard is fastened to a shock absorbing anchor mounted along the hollow pole. Winding and unwinding the halyard onto and from the winch causes the flag to raise and lower as the length of the halyard between the exit opening and the anchor increases and decreases. The weight of the flag trolley, with or without the flag, is sufficient to pull the halyard from the pole when the winch is unwinding the halyard.

Abstract: A mechanism for mounting a sanding disk to the spindle of a portable right-angled grinder that will allow the connection to be released without extra tools. The mechanism consists essentially of a hollow spindle (18), of a tensioning anchor (22) that is accommodated inside the spindle (18) such that it can slide back and forth axially subject to an activating mechanism (54) but cannot rotate, and of two flanges that accommodate the sanding disk (28) between them, one of which, a mating flange that constitutes a support (20), is rigidly secured to the spindle, and the other of which, the tensioning flange (26), is loosely secured to the tensioning anchor (22). Between mutually facing demarcating surfaces (34 & 36) of the tensioning anchor (22) and the spindle (18) is a space (39) that communicates with another space (44) in the tensioning anchor (22). The spaces (39 & 44) are full of a plastic material (40) that can transmit force hydraulically.

Abstract: In motor-operated machines, especially portable electric tools, it is essential to prevent an impermissibly high torque on the driveshaft or operating spindle. This is attained by means of a torque-disengagement mechanism. An especially elegant, compact, precisely responsive torque-disengagement mechanism is attained by mounting one of the two bearings for a driveshaft in the machine housing or similar structure in such a way that it can move across the longitudinal axis or radially far enough to initiate a switching procedure. The bearing is secured in an initial position by means of an opposing force. The position represents both the zero position for the switching procedure and the correct position of the axis of the driveshaft during operation. If the machine includes a means of varying the torque, the power of the opposing force can be adjusted and maintained either continuously or discontinuously.

Abstract: A safety device for an electric power tool, especially a portable tool. It has a main switch, electronic controls, a tachometer-generator, and a relay. The relay electrically parallels the motor, acts on the supply of current to the motor through a relay contact, and is activated through the tachometer-generator and through a subsequent safety circuit. To provide a means of switching off the motor at excessively high speeds that will be inexpensive to manufacture and that will maintain a constant switch-off reference speed throughout its life, the safety circuit consists of a synchronization stage, an adjustable timer stage, a processing stage, an ignition amplifier, and an output section.

Abstract: An access window for use in fast food establishments and other similar drive-thru business establishments is disclosed. The window broadly comprises an elastic operating mechanism, two planar window members and a segmented articulated push-bar operator which is pushed to open the access windows. The push-bar operator can be locked in the open position. Upon releasing and/or unlocking the operator push-bar assembly the access window returns to its closed position by means of a closer bias member. The access window also comprises a locked window bias member which absorbs the pushing action on the operator push-bar, in the event the access window is latched shut, without damaging the access window and further without damaging the operating mechanism.

The entire device can therefore be arranged in various ways to conform to particular spatial requirements.

Abstract: An apparatus for the endless projection of a cinematographic film comprises a horizontal, rotatable table (24) and a winding drum (34) positioned in the center of the table. The film (22) to be projected is formed to a film roll (25) surrounding the winding drum (34). An annular body (61) of the winding drum (34) is provided at its outer periphery with a great number of rotatable support rollers (64) having vertical axles (65), for radially supporting the innermost winding of the film roll (25). On the upper side of the table (24) a plurality of horizontal support rollers (40, 41) are arranged, the axles of which are radial to the table (24). The axial length of each horizontal support roller (40, 41) is substantially shorter than the radial dimension of the table (24). The annular body (61) of the winding drum (34) is provided with a radial slit (120), through which the innermost winding of the film roll (25) can be drawn off.

Abstract: A power-screwdriver device with variable torque adjustment consists essentially of a drive mechanism, transmission, and cutoff mechanism. In order to provide a power screwdriver that is strong and inexpensive and in which the torque can be controlled with no need for a torque clutch, there is a bearing site on a transmission shaft. The bearing allows the shaft to move radially. There is a sensor that emits a motor-cutoff signal when the shaft does move radially. The radial deviation is employed as a measure of torque. The measure is adjusted with an adjusting device.
