Patent number: 4944354Abstract: The invention relates to an three-point coupling device (3) for connecting a tractor to an implement (4). Two lower hitch arms (5, 5a) have been provided with catching hooks (7, 7a). An upper hitch arm (8) has also been provided with a catching hook (11). The lower hitch arms (5, 5a) may be raised or lowered by a power drive via lifting bars (10, 10a) and lifting arms (9, 9a). The upper hitch arm (8) is suspended from a holding device (20, 20a) which is associated with the lifting bars (10, 10a). As a result, the upper hitch arm (8) may be moved jointly with the lower hitch arms (5, 5a) upon actuation of the power drive which moves the lifting arms (9, 9a) and the lifting bar (10, 10a). It is no longer necessary for the tractor driver to hold the upper hitch arm (8) himself and place it on the upper coupling point (14) of the implement (4).Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 1989Date of Patent: July 31, 1990Assignee: Jean Walterscheid GmbHInventors: Hans Langen, Norbert Fartmann, Herbert Coenen

Patent number: 4859368Abstract: A process for the embedding or containment of waste materials, especially of radioactive waste materials, by embedding in a ceramic matrix through the intermediary of the chemical precipitation of a hydrosol of the matrix, which is formed through the reaction of a nitrate with ammonia or ammonium hydroxide. In this process, the hydrosol is trickled in a pouring column into a precipitation bath, subsequent to the introduction of the material which is to be embedded, in which the hydrosol particles which are formed during the trickling gelatinize into gel particles. The gel particles are removed from the precipitation bath, washed, dried and finally sintered.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 1987Date of Patent: August 22, 1989Assignee: Kernforschungsanlage Julich Gesellschaft mit beschrankter HaftungInventors: Erich Zimmer, Hans Langen, Kurt Scharf
