Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for generating a powder-air mixture, having a powder delivery device, a conveying air feed pipe for the conveying air, and a device for forming an enveloping conveying air jet. The powder delivery device terminates in the conveying air feed pipe and therefore in the enveloping air jet.

Abstract: The present device relates to a two-way drive for producing a rotation movement. The drive has a return spring coupled with a return catch for the purpose of returning a drive lever to its zero position, and at least two friction locked components positioned on the shaft and linked to one another, whereby upon movement of the drive lever away from the zero position these friction locked components in association with an elastic switching component engage with the shaft and on the drive side transfer a torque to the shaft. The return catch (7, 7′) is directly secured to one of the friction locked components (2, 3, 4; 2′, 3′), whereby the return spring (6, 6′) also serves as an elastic switching component. This provides a two-way drive for producing a rotation movement which is flat and compact and is characterised by few components.

Abstract: A device for generating directed vibrations has two centrifugal weights which are independently driven at the same speed of rotation but in opposite directions. The centrifugal weights are supported on a largely stiff carrier secured by a holder to a bracket. The holder allows the carrier to move relative to the bracket. When the centrifugal weights start moving, they become synchronized within a short period of time and generate vibrations which can be used in the desired manner via the bracket.

The surface of the overlay (3) comprises round raised portions (4) and depressed portions (6), wherein, in relation to the horizontal section plane (7), the raised portions (4) cover a proportion of the surface area amounting to 30% to 50%, based on the entire surface area of the plain bearing, the section plane (7) being at a height at which the total proportion of the surface area consisting of the raised portions (4), and obtained in vertical section, is equal to the total corresponding proportion consisting of the depressed portions (6). The round raised portions exhibit a diameter D of 3 to 8 &mgr;m, in plan view, wherein, in the case of raised portions (4) and depressed portions (6) which in plan view are not circular, this value relates to the maximum diameter.

Abstract: A magnetomechanical gas analyzer such a paramagnetic oxygen analyzer which has a dumbbell which is rotatably suspended in the region of action of an inhomogeneous magnetic field and around which a gas to be measured flows. The dumbbell is connected, fixed in rotation, to a mirror for deflecting a light beam. In order to damp in the analyzer all kinds of oscillations which have a negative effect on stability in the balance point, and to increase the detectability and the speed of the measurement, there are least two electrically conductive surface segments which are essentially perpendicular to one another are arranged for eddy-current damping on the dumbbell or in the mechanical gearing on the dumbbell and in the region of action of the inhomogeneous magnetic field. One of the surface segments may be the mirror.
