Abstract: A pneumatic delivery capsule usable in a pneumatic delivery tube has a tubular side wall extending along and centered on a longitudinal axis, respective capsule heads fixed to respective axially opposite ends of the tubular side wall and dimensioned to slide with the tubular side wall inside the pneumatic delivery tube, and two axially spaced roller bearings each having an outer race fixed to the tubular side wall and an inner race. An insert is fixed to and extends longitudinally between the inner races for receiving an object to be transported. This insert is rotatable on the bearings in the tubular side wall about the longitudinal axis of the tubular side wall with a center of gravity of the insert together with the object to be transported being radially outward of the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A rotor shaft retainer is described, preferably to be used in an electric pump intended for use in white line equipment, and in particular to be coupled to the upper edge of the housing of the electric pump, and capable of allowing sealing of the shaft passing therethrough. The retainer has a basically cylindrical shape and includes a disc-shaped base, externally provided with a fixing ring, and a cylindrical dome uppermost provided with an opening, defining a central passageway formed from the opening to a lower opening of the base. The central passageway includes at least two annular lips-shaped cavities projecting themselves in the inner radial direction and facing the upper opening of the retainer. The lips-shaped cavities are made of rubber having Shore A hardness from 62 to 78 and define respective angles from 38 to 58 degrees in relation to the plane of the bottom surface of the base.

Abstract: A pneumatic-tube container having a container cylinder and having a cover and a base, at least the cover can be moved from a closed position into an open position. The container cylinder contains an insert, which has at least one tubular channel extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container cylinder. At least one channel contains at least one clamping element, which projects laterally into the channel. The damping element can be moved out of the channel, wherein the movement out of the channel and into the same is coupled to the movement of the cover from the closed position into the open position and from the open position into the closed position, respectively. When the cover is open, and preferably also when the base is open, the sample tubes therefore fall out due to gravity when the pneumatic-tube container is held with the opening in the downward direction.

The container cylinder contains an insert, which has at least one tubular channel extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container cylinder. At least one channel contains at least one clamping element, which projects laterally into the channel.

When the cover is open, and preferably also when the base is open, the sample tubes therefore fall out due to gravity when the pneumatic-tube container is held with the opening in the downward direction.

Abstract: A pneumatic post sleeve (10) has an insert (21) for receiving a test rod (20). In order that the test rod (20) always arrives in the same orientation and position—regardless of any rotation of the pneumatic post sleeve (10)—the insert (21) is rotatable in the pneumatic post sleeve (10) about the longitudinal axis (17) of the sleeve tube (11), wherein the centre of gravity of the insert (21) together with the test rod (20) is located outside the longitudinal axis (17). As a result of its weight, the test rod (20) always takes up the lowest position. In order to improve precision, it is expedient for the insert (21) to be provided with a magnet (30) or with a magnetizable material close to the sleeve tube (11). The pneumatic post station (41) then has a horizontal reception tube (42), on the outside of which a permanent magnet or electromagnet (31) is provided, which is located opposite the magnet (30) in the case of a received pneumatic post sleeve (10).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a compressor (1) of an exhaust-gas turbocharger having a compressor housing (2) which has a compressor outlet connecting pipe (3), and having a sound absorber (4), wherein the sound absorber (4) is formed as a separate component which can be connected to the outlet connecting pipe (3).

Abstract: A container for radioactive inventory has an end wall, a side wall, and a container lid that form a closed chamber for the radioactive inventory. A plastically deformable layer is provided between the container lid and the inventory and is of such a composition that, in the event of an impact of the inventory against the container lid, at least a majority of the impact forces are uniformly distributable over at least a majority of a surface of the plastically deformable layer.

Abstract: A ring-shaped metal rolling bearing cage, which has cage pockets for receiving rolling elements. The cage is formed by a first and a second cage segment. Adjoining ends of the cage segments are connected to one another by suitable connection assemblies. At least one of the assemblies permits a change of the cage diameter when the cage temperature changes. The suitable assembly, on one side, is configured as a joint mechanism and, on another side, as a locking mechanism, and at least one of the assemblies has a lash. A rolling bearing cage configured with the joint mechanism and the locking mechanism can be mounted with low time expenditure in a simple and reliable manner over a shaft, particularly in the case of an idler pinion mourning.

Abstract: A rolling bearing comprising a rolling bearing cage having a plurality of rolling element pockets arranged in at least one row to receive at least one row of rolling elements, two lateral rings and a plurality of crosspieces connecting the two lateral rings, such that the plurality of rolling element pockets are formed between the plurality of crosspieces, and at least one empty pocket. The rolling bearing cage includes fewer rolling elements in the at least one row than the number of rolling element pockets, such that the at least one empty pocket does not receive a rolling element. A method for producing a rolling bearing cage is also provided.
