Abstract: A projectile stopping device is proposed for the purpose of damping the noise propagation linked to the striking of projectiles, for the purpose of braking the projectiles and for easier recovery thereof, the individual stopping curtains (27 to 29) of which projectile stopping device, which are spaced apart from each other in the firing direction (1), consist of suspended steel cables. The stopping cables (26) are received in receiving devices which are identically formed at the top and bottom, and are thereby connected to guides (32) which are also formed in an identical manner to each other. The attachment of the stopping cables to these guides and their arrangement within a curtain are arranged in such a way that each stopping cable, when deflected, is always subject to a return force bringing it back into its original position.

Abstract: A device for applying a patterning liquid to a web, particularly to a carpet web, has an exit slit with a plurality of valves distributed over the width of the web and arranged ahead of it, which can all be activated independent of one another, and which each supply the patterning liquid to a specific width section of the application slit. The valves are located as close as possible to the exit location so that the segment from the closing location of the valves to the exit location is as short as possible.

Abstract: An elongated and cross-section polygonal work piece carrier (1) has at least two clamping surfaces (2) extending parallel to its longitudinal axis (3). It is retained in bearing (5, 9) at least at one end, to be rotatable about its longitudinal axis over 360°. Each of the clamping surfaces (2) is supplied with at least two rotatable work piece holding tables (11) located in a row adjacent each other. The holding tables (11) are coupled by gears (25, 26, 33) with each other and with a common drive gear (35) in such a manner that all tables, in dependence on the rotation of the work piece carrier (1) about its longitudinal axis (3), will rotate over its respective rotation axis (12) about a predetermined angle, depending on the angle of rotation of the work piece carrier; an interrogation device is provided to interrogate whether all rotated tables are in predetermined, locked angular positions.

Abstract: A method for pretreating a staple-fiber carpet yarn (5) before it is processed to make a carpet, in order to reduce the hairiness and fuzz accumulation associated with such yarns. The surface of the carpet yarn (5) is exposed for a brief time to the action of a temperature which is very high relative to the characteristic temperatures of the carpet yarn material. This can be carried out in a singe burner (100) through which the carpet-yarn threads (5) are guided in their lengthwise direction.

Abstract: An injection bore anchor for use with rock having particularly low cohesive properties has at least two injection valves arranged in the front region of the injection bore anchor and formed as non-return valves so that it is possible for the grout suspension issuing from a longitudinal channel running through the injection bore anchor to flow out but not the reverse. In order to place the injection bore anchor, the injection bore anchor is initially used as a bore rod, wherein a flushing fluid is guided through a longitudinal channel and the bores in the region of a bore-crown. Subsequently, a grout suspension is introduced through the longitudinal channel into the bore hole for filling the bore hole, wherein subsequently the residual grout suspension located within the channel is displaced as far as the region of the bore-crown by a displacement body introduced into the channel.

Abstract: A boring tube has at least one tubular base body having a throughgoing longitudinal passage and an outer side and a coil arranged on the outer side of the base body and extending over its whole length. The coil has a pitch of 1 m-3 m and a radial width which starting from the outer side of the base body is at least 10 mm.

Abstract: In order to achieve improved flow properties for a flushing medium charged with rock particles freed during the drilling phase, an injection drilling anchor is provided with anchor rods, coupling members, injection valves, an intermediate member containing a non-return valve, as well as drill head, which are designed such that these components are connected one to the other below one another always by screw fittings, so that in the assembled state one has a fully homogeneous structure from the drill head upwards. The drill head has an external thread extending uniformly over the full length and consequently has a uniform diameter, so that after drilling has taken place, starting from the mouth of the borehole, a spacer can be pushed within the borehole along the full length of the borehole over the anchor rods to any desired point.

Abstract: An eccentric screw pump comprises at least one stator, a rotor having a core and received for eccentric rotation in the stator, a first coupling device adapted to connect one end of the rotor to a drive system, a second coupling device provided at another end of the rotor, the coupling devices having external dimensions which are smaller than a diameter of the core of the rotor.

Abstract: A stator for an eccentric spiral pump has a metallic casing, and an insert located inside the metallic casing. The insert is formed as a coating of a rubber-elastic material with a uniform layer thickness and has inner surface with a thread-like profile.

Abstract: A solar collector panel arrangement includes a plurality of panels interconnected to form panel wings which in turn are secured in a symmetric fashion to a spacecraft, especially a satellite. At least the axially outermost panels forming the tip of a panel wing, are partially and/or fully foldable while the other panels of the wing are fully unfoldable. In the fully unfolded state of a wing all panels are located in a common plane in which also the system central axis is located. The two solar generator wings are so folded and structured or arrestable in certain positions that the entire center of gravity in the partially unfolded state remains in the same position as in the fully unfolded state and in the fully folded state.

Abstract: A rock anchor consists of a body member formed as a drilling-rod (1), which at one end carries a drill-head (2) and has externally over its whole length a coarse thread, for example an approximately round thread (3). The drill-head (2) is welded to the drilling-rod (1). The drilling-rod (1) has only at its forward region, that is adjacent the drill-head (2) peripheral bores (6), whereby the aforesaid forward region, from the drill-head (2), extend over a length of at most 20 cm. The bores (6) extend at an angle to the axis of the drilling-rod (1), namely, from inside to outside in a direction from the drill-head (2). This rock anchor serves simultaneously for making a drilling, whereby the tubular body member serves for the supply of the hydraulic fluid, which passes into the bore-hole via an hydraulic bore (5) in the drill-head (2) and the aforesaid peripheral bores (6) and passes back to the outside of the drilling-rod (1) with the drilling fines produced.
