Abstract: An arrangement for protecting an object, especially a motor vehicle, against approaching projectiles, contains a plurality of profile rods of prism-shaped cross-section. The profile rods are disposed in at least two rows lying one behind the other and at a distance from each other. In the rows, the respective mutually parallel profile rods are disposed at a distance apart, wherein the profile rods of the front row cover the gaps between the profile rods of the rear row.

Abstract: In regard to radar guidance of a launch container (15) for fragmentation projectiles (16) for defending against an attacking missile (12), from the object (11) to be protected, the present invention affords a radar guidance system which can be inexpensively set up from existing components and which, in the absence of interfaces between the object (11) and the launch container (15), operates in a trouble-free manner if, for space monitoring and target acquisition, provided on the substructure (14) of the launch container (15) which is fixed with respect to the object, there is a planar antenna (20) which transmits its target information to a target-tracking radar (19) which is integrated into the launch container (15), for directly guiding the launch container (15) on to the approach of the missile (12) to be defended against.

Abstract: Plastic residues in mixing apparatuses and molding tools filled from these are removed by a method in which the said residues are vaporized by heating.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising a housing with a guide bore in which an expulsion plunger can move to and fro, a portion of the guide bore constituting a mixing chamber which is bounded by the end face of the free end of the plunger and by two nozzle bodies which can be slidingly introduced into the guide bore. The plastics components flow, via inlet channels, through the nozzle bodies into the mixing chamber, the corresponding inlet orifices in the nozzle bodies being exposed during the stroke of these bodies. The end faces of the nozzle bodies constitute a restrictor in the form of an adjustable gap, which gap represents the outlet orifice of the mixing chamber and causes additional mixing of the plastics components. Using the apparatus, constant and good intensity of mixing is attainable, over the entire injection cycle, when processing two reactive plastics components.

Abstract: A mixing head for multicomponent plastics, especially polyurethane, in whose mixing chamber (2) a hollow piston (7) can be moved to and fro to control the component streams. The hollow piston contains an expulsion piston (8), which is movable independently of the hollow piston, and which can be passed through an outlet tube (3) which adjoins the outlet orifice (4). The end face (12) of the hollow piston forms, together with the mixing chamber wall (11) nearest the sprue, a shearing gap in which the components are mixed. As a result of the design and arrangement of the pistons (7) and (8), good mixing is achievable even under critical conditions, and the mixing chamber is also easily cleaned.
