Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and the use of said device for reducing insect irritation of an animal, especially to farm animals such as cattle and horses. Thereby addressing the recurrent problem of insect caused irritation to the eyes and face of an animal as well as to wounds on the surface of an animal or other moist areas offering a source of nourishment to the insects. A device according to the present invention can be directly attached to the surface of an animal in a detachable manner. The device may thus be positioned directly on the animal in a position of choice to the caretaker, thereby, local limitation of the number of insects, such as flies, may be achieved, protecting the animal from insect irritation, particularly in the vicinity of said device, independently of the environment surrounding the animal.

Abstract: There is provided a device for catching insects, such as flies. The device can be attached in an area having particular high activity of insects, such as in the vicinity of a horse eye. The device comprises a sheet having an outer surface with an adhesive layer for catching and holding insects contacting said adhesive. It also includes a holding member for holding the sheet and attaching to the animal. Preferably the sheet is releasable from the holding member.

Abstract: A tool body and a turning tool for grooving operations having the tool body include a fitting member extending along a longitudinal first axis for fixing the tool body to a machine. The tool body's upper and lower clamping members each having respective inner seating surfaces facing one another and separated by an intermediate gap in which a cutting insert is insertable. A major part of the lower inner seating surface extends along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. The clamping members are movable toward one another by a tightening device in order to secure the cutting insert in the intermediate gap. The tool body is integrally formed in a unitary piece. A hinge joint is formed between the clamping members, such that they are movable with respect to one another by turning around an axis of rotation of the hinge joint, extending perpendicularly to the second axis.

Abstract: A buckle component of a vehicle occupant restraint belt system is slidably disposed on a restraint belt of the system in an improved manner. The buckle component may take the form of a female buckle or a male D-ring that secures the belt in an occupant restraining position. The buckle component includes a housing with an outwardly facing rectilinear locking portion extending transversely with respect to the elongated direction of the belt. An external lock bar extends alongside the locking portion with the belt received therebetween. The lock bar has a slightly greater length than the width of the belt and has end portions extending about the side edges of the belt and back toward each other in generally U-shaped configurations. These end portions are pivotally mounted on the housing of the buckle component.
