Abstract: The invention relates to a method of winding a toroidal core (1) with a wire (2), wherein the winding of the toroidal core (1) takes place in a fixed winding plane (3), and where the toroidal core (1) is held by a gripper (4) that moves with it, and is rotated about an axis that is perpendicular to the plane of the ring. The method according to the invention makes it possible to wind even very small toroidal cores having an outside diameter <4 mm.

Abstract: The fluid power cylinder possesses a housing, wherein a piston space is defined to accommodate a piston. In or on the housing a pressurized fluid receiver is arranged which possesses at least one receiver chamber connected with the piston space and which is supplied from a pressurized fluid source. Such a fluid power cylinder is characterized by reliable operation and good response behavior if it is run at a considerable distance from the pressurized fluid source.

Abstract: The invention provides a piston and cylinder unit comprising a piston adapted to be displaced in the axial direction, a piston rod arranged coaxially and connected with the piston on at least one axial face thereof and which extends through an associated cylinder end cover in a sealing and sliding manner. The section of the piston rod outside the piston are provided with load attachment means. The piston rod is tubular and defines a continuous bore extending essentially from one end of such rod to the other end thereof in the axial direction. The bore is provided at least at its end sections with a female threaded section. The piston end of the piston rod is provided with a threaded part connected with the piston and in the opposite external end the male threaded section of a connecting part may be screwed with is adapted to be coupled with a load attachment means to be operated by said piston and cylinder unit.

Abstract: A gear rack is made up of rack segments arranged end-to-end supported by and extending along face conveyor for meshing engagement with a gear of a drive to propel a mining machine along a mine face. The teeth of each rack segment extend between longitudinal cheek sections. A thicker one of the cheek sections has a downward extending shoulder at each of opposite ends to engage in a cavity of a bracket and secured therein for limited movement by a fastener pin. A wall section of the bracket extends against a bearing surface formed by a cavity in the underside of the gear tooth at the end portion of the rack segment. The width of the wall section corresponds to the width of the bearing surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connecting piece for connecting tubular members such as hoses, pipes, or other structural parts, carrying fluids with each other. A clamping part is available which has two half shell-shaped clamping halves with one clamping surface curved in accordance with the outer circumference of the end of the tubular member to be inserted. In their plug-in position the clamping halves are arranged at a distance to each other which permits insertion of the plug-in end of a tubular member. In their clamping position they enclose non-displaceably the plug-in end of the pipe, the hose or similar and they are simultaneously fixed on a contact part of the connecting piece.

Abstract: A rack device for advancing a drum cutter mining machine used in underground mining operations. The rack is comprised of a plurality of rack sections positioned end-to-end wherein the discrete sections are held together by brackets which connect two adjacent rack sections. The bracket contains a bracket wall which has a top surface positioned directly beneath the end pins of the discrete rack sections. Force exerted on the rack pins during the translation of the drum cutting mining machine bears upon the bracket wall thereby diminishing damage to the rack structure caused by tilting forces created during translation of the mining machine.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing diaphragms which are sensitive to fluoride ions, by depositing a poly-crystalline thin layer of difficulty soluble fluoride of 20 nm to 5,000 nm thick by means of sputtering or vaporization onto a substrate at temperatures of above 280.degree. C.

Abstract: Method of winding conical cross-wound coils at constant thread-feeding velocity, wherein varying winding speeds between the largest and smallest periphery of the coils are compensated for by filling and emptying a controlled thread storage device, which includes filling the thread storage device during a time interval wherein the thread is being guided in a three-dimensionally disposed spiral extending from a given neutral periphery of a coil to the smallest periphery thereof and back, and emptying the thread storage device during a time interval wherein the thread is being guided in a three-dimensionally disposed spiral extending from the given neutral periphery of the coil to the largest periphery thereof and back, the instantanteous length of the stored thread being varied in a wave-shaped substantially sinusoidal manner and the amplitude of the respective wave being proportional to the maximal length of the thread to be stored as required during each thread storing operation; and apparatus for performing

Abstract: Powder to be used for coating articles electrostatically is maintained in a fluidized condition in the supply container and in conveyor ducts all the way to a discharge over the inner wall of an annular channel onto the rotating disk of an electrostatic coating machine.
