  • Patent number: 5526723
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide an ergonomical and practical, handle-equipped universal striking tool with exchangeable tool bits for use when center-punching, driving cotter pins and nail heads and driving in clips of various kinds, i.e. for such activities where today a hammer is used for striking a separate thumb-grip held object or separate, thumb-grip held tools. The problems with the earlier known technique are a.o. inferior accessibility, tool instability, inferior view, impact injury risks and overloading of the hand, and the problems of looking after a complete tool kit. This object is achieved in accordance with the present invention by a handle (1), which at least at one end is equipped with an at least in one plane pivotably arranged driver head socket (2), to which a driver head (3) is attached, said driver head socket being pivotably and lockably arranged in said handle.

  • Patent number: 5329128
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for recording the information from the slidable sheet (5) of a RIM cassette (2). The information included on the sheet, used especially in X-ray photography, is read from the sheet surface drawn out of the cassette with the aid of a laser beam focused on it, after which the sheet is emptied of information with the aid of a powerful light and returned to the cassette. According to the invention, the reading is effected during the linear withdrawal of the slidable sheet (5) in the reading position (9) past which the sheet surface including the information is guided, and the removal of the information is effected during the linear return travel of the slidable sheet in the emptying position (10) past which the sheet surface travels while the sheet is being pushed back into the cassette (2).
