Abstract: The invention relates to a railway container transshipment device, which for practical purposes has two chassis units, one lifting device mounted on the chassis unit and fastening elements for the containers. The invention is characterized in that two crane units (25a, 25b), positioned for practical purposes in mirror symmetry and designed to co-operate with one another, form the lifting device, that the crane units (25a, 25b) comprise a respective rotating chassis (3), a lower jib (4), an upper jib (5), a lower actuating member (7), an upper actuating member (8) and a lifting member (6), that the chassis units (2a, 2b) are interconnected by an axially displaceable unit (13) and that the angle (B), formed between the longitudinal axis (26) (viewed from above) of the crane units (25a, 25b) that lift the container and the longitudinal axis (27) of the transshipment device (20) is proportional to the distance (A) between the chassis units (2a, 2b).

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for overpressured thin-layer chromatographic technique, comprising at least one carrier plate arranged adjacent a closed space, a sorbent layer arranged on the surface of said carrier plate, means for covering the surface of said sorbent layer under influence of overpressure generated in said closed space, a first inlet for admitting solvent to said sorbent layer, a second inlet for admitting overpressurizing medium into said closed space, a heating unit for altering temperature of said sorbent layer and a temperature control unit for energizing said heating unit. The apparatus according to the invention ensures improved efficiency of the chromatographic developments carried out under overpressure. By means of the apparatus chromatograms can be obtained with increasing speed of separation.
