Abstract: An article of submunition which is harnessed as a rotating load through the intermediary of a connecting device to the shroud lines of a parachute. The connecting device is designed as a torque or rotational moment-transmitting spreader arrangement for the radial spacing of the coupling of the shroud lines to a spin line carrying the load; whereby a coupling device is positioned between the connecting device and the spin line, in which the coupling device is constructed as a load-dependent slip coupling for the reduction of the torque which is transmitted from the spin line to the connecting device.

Abstract: An arrangement for drawing a braking parachute out of a front article of submunition of a submunition pair, including a withdrawing or pull line extending between the front and rear articles of submunition. Upon the articles of submunition distancing themselves from each other, there is opened a slip knot of the pull line, through which the latter is connected with the rear article of submunition.

Abstract: A laundry ironing system, comprising a pre-drying cylinder and at least one mangle cylinder and trough unit, in which a flowable heat carrier medium in the form of live steam that circulates through the mangle cylinder and trough unit and then through the pre-drying cylinder is depressurized within the pre-drying cylinder to generate flash steam which precipitates on the internal surface of the pre-drying cylinder when condensing, thus heating the pre-drying cylinder. The present invention is also directed to such a method of heating the pre-drying cylinder, by collecting the flowable heat carrier medium in the form of live steam, and directing the medium inside the pre-drying cylinder where the heat carrier medium is depressurized, resulting in the formation of flash steam precipitating on the internal surface of the pre-drying cylinder. The heat carrier medium is then withdrawn from the pre-drying cylinder.
