Abstract: The invention refers to a kink protection for prefabricated cables having first and second sleeves which fit around part of the cable or a plug connector adapted to be assembled in different relative positions. Each of the two sleeves is designed in general as a rectilinear tube section with a longitudinal axis. One end of the first sleeve has two integrally formed projections in the form of two regular octagons having the same spanner width, which are arranged on both sides of the longitudinal axis and the rotational axes of symmetry of which coincide and perpendicularly intersect the longitudinal axis. One end of the second sleeve has four elongated extensions which are distributed in a rotationally symmetrical manner about the longitudinal axis, each extending parallel to the longitudinal axis. Two mutually adjacent extensions form a spanner jaw having a jaw width corresponding to the spanner width of the octagon.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the wireless data, transmission between a transmitter and a receiver, the data being modulated as signals onto an electromagnetic carrier wave in the range of 0.1 and 10 terahertz. The carrier wave emitted by the transmitter is concentrated in the direction of the receiver, the transmitter being oriented towards the receiver by means of an automatic adjusting device and the adjusting device using wireless communication between the transmitter and the receiver for said orientation.

Abstract: A vehicle tire contains a tread part, a bead region which is radially formed inside the tread part and having a bead core, a bead filler formed radially outside the bead core, and a bead reinforcing layer extending over a periphery of the vehicle tire and containing at least one resistance carrier spirally wound radially outwardly from the inside towards the periphery. A further bead reinforcing strip is formed radially inside the bead core, the further bead reinforcing strip extending axially over the entire axial length of the bead core and being radially outwardly folded back towards the two axial outer sides of the bead core. The further bead reinforcing strip having a first folded-back section extending up to a radial extension height from a vertex of the wheel rim and a second folded-back section up to a radial extension height from the vertex X of the wheel rim.

Abstract: A radial pneumatic vehicle tire, in particular a truck tire, includes a carcass insert having at least one ply and reinforcing elements of steel cord or a material of similar strength. The carcass insert is turned back in a bead region about a bead core to form a turn-up. At least one fabric reinforcing ply with tension-resistant, textile reinforcing elements, reinforces the bead region, runs around the bead core, has one side directly contacting the bead core and another side directly contacting the carcass insert and reaches on an inner tire side between a bead filler and the carcass insert, up to a height measured radially relative to a rim transition point of between 0.1 and 0.47 of a cross-sectional height of the tire and ending on an outer tire side, between the bead filler and the turn-up of the carcass insert, at a distance radially inside the turn-up.

Abstract: A safety guard rail (7) can be moved between a position adjacent a nip between two rotating cylinders (3, 4) and a remote position. The safety guard rail has flanges (8, 9) attached thereto, projecting essentially parallel to cover plates (5, 6) already present in the printing machine. The cover plates are formed with guide slits (12, 13) extending downwardly at an inclination, in which guide elements (10, 11) engage, secured to the projecting flanges which hold the safety guard rail (7). Limit switches are coupled to be engaged by the flanges and/or the guide elements to provide ON and OFF signals, in dependence on the position of the safety guard rail with respect to the nip, to inhibit printing machine operation when the guard rail is in a remote position, for example for changing of rubber blankets on the cylinders, and permitting printing machine operation only when the safety guard rail (7) is adjacent the nip to be able to carry out its safety guarding function.

Abstract: A production line for working on a succession of workpieces has a transporter or conveyor defining a longitudinal path for carrying and displacing the succession of workpieces in longitudinal stop-and-go steps through a succession of stations generally longitudinally equispaced along the path, respective machines at the stations for lifting the workpieces off the conveyor and working on the workpieces as same are stopped between transport steps, and a lifter at at least one of the stations for raising the workpieces thereof off the conveyor and holding them clear thereof between transport steps. Thus some of the stations are merely holding or nonworking stations where nothing is done to the workpieces. The machines at this or these stations can be adapted to work only on other types of workpieces mixed in with the production run, or only on certain of the workpieces for custom work.

Abstract: A first succession of workpieces is displaced along a first conveyor path past a work station in steps and a second succession of workpieces is displaced past the work station in steps synchronously with the first succession along a second conveyor path crossing the first path at an intersection adjacent the work station. The workpieces of the first and second successions are alternately arrested adjacent the work station so that as a workpiece of one succession is arrested adjacent the station the workpieces of the other succession are moving and vice versa. A tool at the station works alternately on the arrested workpieces. Thus as a workpiece of one succession is being held stationary and worked on a workpiece of the other succession is being removed from adjacent the station and replaced with the following workpiece of the other succession. The workpieces are transported horizontally generally at the same level and the paths cross at the intersection generally at a right angle.

Abstract: Lateral escape of ink from between the end face (A) of a duct roller (1) and the side wall (3) retaining the duct roller is prevented by extending the length of the duct blade (11) beyond the axial extent of the duct roller and placing an end wall portion (4) in the end wall which is resiliently pressed against the end face (A) of the duct roller and, further, resiliently engaged with the top face of the duct blade (11) to form a tight seal and prevent escape of ink laterally from between the duct blade (11) and the duct roller (1). The resilient portion is plate-like, and the sealing strip preferably is a generally T-shaped element, in which the leg portion of the T is clamped to both the resilient portion (4) of the end wall and the fixed portion (3) thereof, while permitting relative movement of the two elements.
