Abstract: In some embodiments, a stamp may comprise at least one stamping component and one stamping insert. The stamp component may be formed of a top a bottom part with a cushion-receiving element. The stamping insert may be connected so as to move synchronously via a reversing mechanism having a slide track in the bottom part via an shaft or trunnion to the top part. In the resting position a text plate mounted on the stamping insert may abut against an ink pad in the cushion receiving element, and that in a stamping process the stamping insert with the text plate can be shifted by the reversing mechanism into a stamping position. At least the text plate carrier and/or the mounted band unit or date unit, may be positioned to be replaceable with the shaft or the trunnions or stub shafts, respectively. The system may include a stamping insert.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a stamp with metallic elements, may comprise at least one stamping component and one stamping insert. The stamping component may be formed of a top part with a handle element and a bottom part with a cushion-receiving element. The stamping insert may be connected so as to move synchronously via a reversing mechanism having a slide track in the bottom part via a shaft or trunnion to the top part. In the resting position a text plate mounted on the stamping insert may abut against an ink pad soaked with ink in the cushion-receiving element. The metallic elements can be attached from the outside onto the top and bottom parts formed from plastic material and these are fixed via a fastening system of the upper and lower parts. The metal part of the bottom part is fixed on a surface of the plastic part.

The stamping insert with the text plate can be shifted by the reversing mechanism into a stamping position. On the ink pad, a protective cover is located on that side on which a handle element is located on a support device of the ink pad. The system including an ink pad and a closure cap.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a stamp comprising at least one stamping component and one stamping insert with a mounted band unit. The stamping component may comprise a top part and a bottom part with a cushion-receiving element. The mounted band unit may be connected so as to move synchronously via a reversing mechanism in the bottom part to the top part. In the resting position a text plate mounted on the stamping insert and a stamping area of the mounted band unit may abut against an ink pad soaked with ink in the cushion-receiving element. During a stamping process for producing a stamp impression the stamping insert can be shifted via the reversing mechanism into a stamping position. On the stamping insert, a height adjustment element for the mounted band unit and/or a text plate carrier may be provided.

Abstract: The invention describes an embossing stamp comprising at least a base unit in which a retaining device is disposed on one side to retain a die plate holder and an operating device is disposed on a further side. The operating device is constructed such that it directly or indirectly acts on the retaining device, wherein a pivot of the operating device is disposed in the base unit. The base unit and/or the operating device are modular in construction, wherein the side walls are at least partially formed by panels which are positioned with respect to each other and fastened via half-shells and/or connecting means.

Abstract: A feeder element for use in casting molds, includes a first end for placing on a mold model and an opposing second end for connecting to or for carrying an upper feeder part. The feeder element has a passage extending from the first to the second end, wherein the feeder element is two-part or multi-part including a tube-like element which forms the first end of the feeder element; an adapter element with an opening into which the tube-like element is inserted so that it is connected with frictional engagement to the adapter element. The adapter element includes one or more path limiters to limit the insertion path of the tube-element, which are set up so that the outer face of the edge of the tube-like element opposing the first end, with insertion to the maximum extent within the adapter element, is present with its entire periphery, or portions thereof, exposed.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical overhead cable rope comprising an integrated optical communication lead (13), in which metallic wire elements (14, 15, 16) surround a tube (1) or noble steel, in which at least one optical waveguide (2) is contained. Corrosion of the wire elements of the overhead cable rope is prevented by providing a tube (1) of noble steel having applied to it a water-tight coating which establishes a continuous electrically conducting connection between the tube of noble steel and the wire elements (14, 15, 16) surrounding it.

Abstract: The invention concerns a collagen sponge which has a denaturation temperature of at least 37.degree. C., is not cross-linked and in one of its two embodiments forms an optically clear solution in aqueous medium. As compared with the collagen sponges previously known, it is particularly suitable as support material for pharmaceutical and cosmetic active substances since it has a higher denaturation temperature than the latter and dissolves again in contact with body fluid. The collagen sponge of the invention is prepared from an optically clear collagen solution by precipitation with neutral salts, dissolving and reprecipitation and then subjecting the collagen to freeze-drying without removal of the precipitation salt. Acid-swollen collagens and/or cellulose or cellulose derivatives can also be added to the solution, whereby the physical properties of the collagen sponge can be affected.

Abstract: Preparation of derivatives of benzene containing CF.sub.3 groups from the corresponding compounds containing CCl.sub.3 groups (e.g. trichloromethyl benzene) is carried out continuously with excellent yield rates by reaction with liquid hydrogen fluoride in an autoclave above 80.degree.C, (which latter exceeds the stoichiometric proportion by at least 25 mole %). The reactants are fed continuously into the autoclave. The reaction mixture preferably becomes pressurized to at least 20 atmospheres and homogeneous after having reached a certain filling level. The reaction mixture is thereafter withdrawn proportionally to its feeding-in rate. The mixture may be conveyed through one or several additional autoclaves with the final withdrawal of the reaction mixture being out from the terminal autoclave of this cascade. The fluorination products are well known starting and inermediate products for the preparation of dyestuffs and pesticidal compositions.

Abstract: This invention provides a self-propelled hop picking machine including a hop bine draw-through device which, as the machine moves forward, pulls bines in the path of movement of the machine rearwardly, preferably at a speed greater than the forward speed of travel of the machine, so as to pull such bines from their supporting wires and to convey the bines to picking elements for removal of the hop cones from the bines.
