Abstract: There is described a reusable temporary safety rail post for a safety fence for bordering an elevated work area. The post includes a stanchion member, the lower end of which is attached to a horizontal plate. The upper portion of the stanchion member has one or more brackets for supporting horizontal safety rails which extend between adjacent post assemblies. A receiving bracket connected to the floor of the work area receives the horizontal plate and holds the stanchion in a vertically upright position. Also described is an extension kit by which the height of the post can be temporarily increased. The extension kit includes a vertical extension member having additional angular railing brackets, which is removably attached to the upper end of the stanchion so as to extend its height. The extension kit also includes a support bracket which provides additional support to the vertically extended post.

Abstract: The invention relates to an airbag module for protecting an occupant of a vehicle in the event of a collision, comprising a cushion (11) that can expand with the gas provided by a generator with at least one ventilation hole (13) sealed with a patch (21) including a silicone membrane (23) intended to break due to the effect of the internal pressure in the cushion (11) so as to allow gas discharge, in which the fabric of the cushion (11) does not have a silicone coating, the patch (21) is formed by said membrane (23) joined at its edges to two pieces (25, 27) of fabric and fixed to the cushion (11) by means of a seam (31). The invention also comprises a process for manufacturing the cushion (11).

Abstract: The novelty proposed herein describes the application of niobium-based compositions and coatings, niobium oxides and their alloys capable of associations with other oxides and alloys by means of the thermal spraying technique for the purpose of an anticorrosive protection in highly corrosive environments, mainly those which present high temperatures, show presence of gases such as H2S, SO2, CO2, as well as organic and inorganic acids, commonly found in industrial centers.

Abstract: There is described a post assembly for a safety fence for bordering an elevated work area, the work area including a wall section supporting an elevated floor section to be bordered by the safety fence, the post assembly comprising a stanchion having upper and lower sections, the lower section having a first upper and a second lower plate fixedly connected thereto, the first and second plates being vertically spaced apart by a pre-determined distance, the upper portion having one or more brackets connected thereto for supporting horizontal safety rails which extend between adjacent post assemblies, and a third plate connectable to the wall section at a selected location, the third plate including means for a torque-resistant connection to the first plate to hold the stanchion in a vertically upright position relative to the wall section, wherein the second plate is connectable to the wall section when the first plate is connected to the third plate, thereby securing the stanchion to the wall section.

Abstract: A juice extractor includes an extractor frame, at least one inner side panel that divides the interior into a product material area and a drive mechanism cavity. An orifice beam includes an end extending through a beam opening in the inner side panel. An orifice tube is carried by the orifice beam and received within a strainer tube, which is mounted to receive juice and pulp as extractor cups engage together. A drive mechanism is positioned within the drive mechanism cavity and reciprocates the orifice beam to move the orifice tube within the strainer tube. A seal at the orifice beam and the beam opening prevents juice and peel from entering the drive mechanism cavity during extractor operation.

Abstract: A juice extractor includes an extractor frame, at least one pair of extractor cups relatively moveable to each other, a strainer tube that receives juice and pulp and discharges juice therefrom, and a juice manifold positioned to collect the juice discharged from the strainer tube. The strainer tube is bottom loaded on the juice manifold and includes a sealing assembly for sealing the strainer tube relative to the juice manifold. In one aspect of the present invention, the sealing assembly includes an annular beveled surface positioned on an inside surface of the juice manifold through which the strainer tube is received. A gasket is positioned between the annular beveled surface and strainer tube that is compressed and provides a seal therebetween.

Abstract: A juice extractor may include a juice extraction assembly, and at least one pressure-actuated spray nozzle having an inlet to be connected to a controllable fluid pressure source and a spray outlet directed toward the juice extraction assembly and moving between a retracted off position and an extended spray position based upon fluid pressure. The extractor may also include at least one fluid delivery conduit having an inlet to be connected to a controllable source of pressurized fluid, and an outlet. The at least one pressure-actuated spray nozzle may be positioned adjacent extractor cups, such as on their mounting bridge, and have an inlet connected in fluid communication with the outlet of the at least one fluid delivery conduit. The pressure-actuated nozzles may be used for cleaning and/or recycle water. In the retracted position, the pressure-actuated spray nozzles are better able to shed peel and other debris.

Abstract: An instrument for measuring the peak flow during an exhalation, which can be quickly and simply assembled and disassembled manually, so that a simple and cost effective production is possible, on the one hand, and a complete cleaning of the instrument is possible on the other hand, so that a hygienic use is guaranteed. The case of the instrument consists of two halves (12 and 22). The first half (12) of the case is equipped with a projection (18), which locks into a recess (24) in the second half (22) of the case when the case is assembled. The two halves of the case (12 and 22) are furthermore both equipped with an extension piece (22 or 26, respectively), with the two extension pieces resting on each other when the case is assembled. For the assembly, the projection (18) installed on the second half (22) of the case is rotated into the recess (24) in the second half of the case, so that the two halves (12 and 22) of the case are joined and the two extension pieces (20 and 26) rest on each other.
