Abstract: A device for the bending and deformation of panels such as skin elements for covering cells of vehicles in the aerospace industry such as aircraft, rocket space vehicles or the like, the skin elements having inwardly directed stiffening ribs which intersect in nodes; the device has first and second deforming members being capable of engaging the skin element in points adjacent to nodes under consideration of length changes obtained by some of the ribs; the two deforming members are adjustable in relation to each other and other through a variable armature mount such that the deforming forces respectively provided into the part to be deformed are oriented in the area of the nodes transversely or nearly transversely to those ribs which extend transversely to the curvature to be obtained and consistently tangentially to the panel part in the direction of curvature and following change of curvature on account of bending; and the direction of force action as provided by the deforming members into the work part is

Abstract: A case packing apparatus having a conveyor for moving a plurality of articles seriatim in a first direction to a location where means substantially perpendicular to the conveyor move a predetermined number of articles in the perpendicular direction into a case to form a layer within the case.

Abstract: A supercompact rolling group (10) with rolls supported at one end. Vertical (11) and horizontal (12) units are arranged alternately or as necessary. Each unit (11-12) is driven by an independent motor (25-23) through a transmission (34) on parallel axes. A rolling line has at least one supercompact rolling group (110-210) constituted as above.

Abstract: A binder for computer print out paper fits into a standard sized file cabinet. It comprises a series of hinged together panels, two opposite ones of which hold along one edge a pair of rings retained in aligned slots. The rings are capable of movement in two different directions, and such rings hold the paper within the binders.

Abstract: This invention relates to a machine (10) for packaging products in heat-shrinkable film, of the so-called bundling machine type, in which the film (65) fed from opposing reels (67) and (68) is made to pass over a product support platform (17) which is lowered into a vertically extending chamber (13) comprising at its top an aperture (16) which can be closed alternately by said support platform (17) and by a lateral panel (18) which is mobile horizontally when said platform (17) is in its lowered position.Within said chamber (13) there are positioned film welding means (51) and (52) and means (19) and (20) for heating the film when wrapped and welded about the product (66) in order to cause its heat-shrinkage. Furthermore, in a position corresponding with said aperture (16) of the chamber (13), means (80) are provided for lifting the film into a position above said support platform (17) when this latter has been raised in order to close the chamber (13) and carries the finished package (102).
