Abstract: The present invention provides an automatic device for discharging, from a vibrating table to an on-line conveyor, continuously arriving flat-bottomed objects, which device operates in cycles and each of the cycles of which includes the following stages: said objects are accommodated in a ditch contiguous with the forward edge of said vibrating table (1) so as to form a row; said row of objects is pushed by a pusher (11), the initial speed of which is zero, towards a smooth surface (12) extending in a transverse direction in relation to the vibrating table (1) in the continuation of the ditch (4); said objects arrive on a conveyor belt (13) located in the continuation of the smooth surface (12); and, while the pusher (11) discharges said row and then returns to its initial position, a fresh row of objects gradually forms in the ditch (4).

Abstract: Device ensuring maximum coverage of an area in which identical cylindrical objects such as bottles or cans transported by a conveyor line accumulate. The device including, a vibrating table over which the bottles advance in short skips after being deposited on the table by the conveyor, and, an oscillating hoe formed by two integral, longitudinally extending bars. The friction between the bottles and the surface of the vibrating table being fairly small. The oscillating hoe performing a transverse alternate motion, during which each longitudinally extending bar alternately pushes the mass of bottles, causing them to slide over the vibrating table. One application of the device is for loading freeze drying vessels.

Abstract: The lower extremity of each ballscrew (4) is engaged in a nut (6) with a nil pitch equipped with horizontal and parallel throats (7) for receiving balls (8) which cooperate with grooves (9) provided in an extremity sleeve (10) borne by the screw. An imperviousness system is constituted by sintered stainless steel rings mounted onto the upper portion and lower portion of the sleeve and are kept in place by a profiled joint made of a flexible synthetic material.

Abstract: Rear axle assembly for the suspension of motor vehicles. An arm consisting of a hollow box, provides support by its lower box face to one of the ends of a spring leaf extending therein. The other end of the leaf spring is connected to the body by a shackle.
