Abstract: This power wrench includes a wrench head that rotatably supports a ring having a non-circular internal profile. A ratchet device moves the ring only in one direction of rotation with respect to the wrench head. The wrench head has an internal extension and a support element is coaxially pivotally attached to the wrench head. A piston cylinder unit, including a piston and a piston rod is provided. The first end of the piston cylinder unit is rigidly connected to the integral extension of the wrench head and the second end of the unit is in contact with the support element. The distance between the center of the wrench head and the first end of the piston cylinder unit is about the same as the distance between the center of the wrench head and the second end of the unit. One end of the piston rod is flexibly held at the piston and the other end is flexibly held at the support element.

Abstract: Hydrophilic coatings are obtained by applying to a substrate a composition containing an aqueous soluble organopolysiloxane which is capable of being crosslinked by the addition of Si-bonded hydrogen atoms to SiC-bonded aliphatic multiple bonds, and having at least one oxyalkylene unit bonded to a silicon atom and an aqueous soluble catalyst which promotes the addition of Si-bonded hydrogen atoms to the SiC-bonded aliphatic multiple bonds and thereafter crosslinking the organopolysiloxane by the addition of the Si-bonded hydrogen atoms to the SiC-bonded aliphatic multiple bonds to form a hydrophilic coating on the substrate. The aqueous soluble organopolysiloxane may be obtained from a mixture consisting of equal parts of a mixed hydrolysate, prepared from 1.7 moles of dimethyldichlorosilane, 1 mole of [acetoxy-(hexaethyleneoxy)propyl]-methyldichlorosilane and 0.

Abstract: A wrench having a handle with an actuating lever arm pivoted for operation to rotate a nut engaging ring geometrically configured to accept a nut or bolt head. The nut engaging ring includes two tappets extending in the plane of rotation of the lever arm. A torque applied to the lever arm engages these tappets and thereby causes the nut engaging ring to rotate with increased force.

Abstract: A strand of sausage filling is pushed stepwise through a tube over which is fitted an empty sausage casing such that as the strand emerges stepwise from the downstream end of the tube it fills the casing. The filled casing is gripped between a pair of conveyor belts whose spacing is predetermined and is pulled away from the tube stepwise synchronously with the advance of the strand in the tube. Between advance steps of the strand and of the filled casing the tube is rotated such that the casing is twisted to form individual sausage links. The instantaneous speed at which the conveyor pulls the filled casing from the tube is proportional to the instantaneous speed of the strand in the tube. The spacing between the conveyor belts may also be varied automatically as a function of the overall conveyor operating speed.

Abstract: An apparatus for suspending loops of sausage links comprises a pickup member rotatable about a pickup axis and having an arm inclined at an angle to this axis and reaching toward a feeder for sausage links forming a chain. The feeder advances the sausage links along a feed axis which is laterally offset from the pickup axis. A drive rotates the pickup member so that the arm orbits the axis of the sausage chain and engages the latter between sausage links to suspend the latter in loops from the pickup member.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing sausage in which the sausage casing is drawn loosely over a filling tube through which the sausage filling is pumped and the sausage casing is rotated to twist off sections or links of sausage.

Abstract: A strand of sausage filling is pushed stepwise through a tube over which is fitted an empty sausage casing such that as the strand emerges stepwise from the downstream end of the tube it fills the casing. The filled casing is gripped between a pair of conveyor belts whose spacing is predetermined and is pulled away from the tube stepwise synchronously with the advance of the strand in the tube. Between advance steps of the strand and of the filled casing the tube is rotated such that the casing is twisted to form individual sausage links. The instantaneous speed at which the conveyor pulls the filled casing from the tube is proportional to the instantaneous speed of the strand in the tube. The spacing between the conveyor belts may also be varied automatically as a function of the overall conveyor operating speed.
