The apparatus has a front pipe sealing pad (20) to the rear wall of which (24) is attached (a) a hose so that the sealing pad can be inflated and (b) a connection (42) for a distancing rod (44). The device also incorporates a rear pipe sealing pad (22) through which are passed, properly sealed, the hose (26), tubing for expelling air (52) and a connection for filling (51). The rear pipe sealing pad can also be joined to the distancing rod (44) and is, furthermore, connected with its internal area (46) to a connection (48) so that filling and emptying can be carried out.

Abstract: The pipe sealing pad has a cylindrical sleeve (20) which is made of reinforced rubber material and two end walls (30) which are also made of rubber material. They are joined together in one single vulcanization procedure involving heat and define an air-tight inner compartment (34) which can be accessed via an air connection (32) in the form of a pipe fitting (42). Internally, the connection (32) merges into a ring-disk (46) which is connected to the pipe fitting (42) only in the region of its inner area (48). This ring-disk is not connected to either the pipe fitting (42) or the end wall (30) in a ring-shaped concentric compensation zone (50) which adjoins. It is connected on an outer area (52) with an inner surface (54) of the end wall (30).

Abstract: The leak sealing-pad for sealing off the damaged wall of containers and pipes is constructed from reinforced rubber material which is vulcanized under heat. It has a pad-surface (20) which is faced towards the leak and a pad-surface, equally as large, which faces away from the leak (22), both these surfaces being joined at their edges to form an air-tight inner-chamber (24) which can be accessed externally via a nipple (26). Attachment components (30), loops 54, and bridges 64 are attached to two edge zones which lie opposite each other, the narrow sides 28. These attachments are intended for a tension device which spans the container or pipe. Both the surfaces of the pad (20, 22) have internal reinforcing with bisecting, flexible reinforcing threads (34, 36; 40, 42).

Abstract: A plug includes an elongated tubular casing of elastomeric material having two open ends longitudinally spaced from each other. Two upper caps are inserted in respective open ends of the casing so as to bound with the same an interior of the plug. Each of the caps has a circumferentially elongated wall extending inside the interior in surface contact with the corresponding portion of the inner surface of the casing. Each of the mentioned walls is vulcanized to the corresponding portion of the inner surface of the casing so as to sealingly close the latter from both ends thereof.

Abstract: A sealing arrangement used to quickly seal leaks in pipes and the like is of the type comprising an inflatable pad which is laid against the leaking pipe surface, a counterpressure element which presses the inflatable pad against such surface and to which holding belts or the like wrapped around the pipe or the like can be connected and tightened prior to inflation of the inflatable pad. The counterpressure element does not have the form of a conventional rigid counterpressure plate but instead is a flexible counterpressure pad, whereby the inflatable pad and the counterpressure pad can very completely conform to the leaking surface to be sealed.

Abstract: A lifting cushion apparatus is equipped with a plurality of inflatable chambers at least one of which is adapted to have a wedge-like shape when inflated. The wedge chambers may be preformed through the use of wedge-shaped sidewalls and interior separators. Alternatively, the wedge chambers may be formed through the use of an external shaping means such as a string or band placed through a pair of separator bars in a zig-zag fashion. By employing at least four wedge chambers in the cushion apparatus it is possible to achieve at least seven discrete head tilt angles. The head plate of each of the cushion apparatuses is equipped with a coupling means so that two lifting cushion apparatus can be connected together in the tandem fashion. By the judicious placement of the lifting cushions it is possible to lift loads which have a low specific surface strength relative to their weights. Such loads would include, for example, airplanes, busses, tank cars, trucks, subway cars and the like.
