Abstract: The device for twisting wires has a twisted rod with a binding hook, which is set into rotation upon pulling a handle part. The binding hook is pivotable around an axle and is held in the normal position by a stop slider engaging in recesses of the binding hook. When the wire loop around the binding hook is tightened, a catch is lifted up, whereby the stop slider and thus the binding hook are unlocked and pivoted, so that it can slip from the wire loop.Such a device enables a constant, optimum twisting of the wire without the risk of rupture thereof, and it permits automatic release of the binding hook by one and the same pulling movement.

The photoconductive system comprises (A) a single photoconductive layer, or multiple layers, applied to the support and (B) a light-sensitive covering layer which contains at least one photochemically reactive compound. The use of the recording material in a process for the production of printing forms and printed circuits is also disclosed.

Abstract: In the method for connecting at least two rods, wherein a binding apparatus, which is provided with a rotatable hook member, seizes a wire loop, which extends around the rods, and twists the loop during a pulling movement. The wire clamp or clip which has leg portion ends provided with locking means is brought around the rods to be connected in such a manner that, when viewed from the hook member the locking means are brought into engagement with each other behind the rods, and the closed wire clamp in front of the rods is seized by the hook member of the binding apparatus and twisted.The device required for this purpose includes a binding apparatus which has a slide member connected to a displaceable gripping member for the forward advancement of the wire clamp and closing jaws which are adapted to bring the locking members on the wire clamp into engagement behind the rods to be connected.

Abstract: A pipe pig for traveling through a pipe line is supported on and moved by two or three runners, which also can move circumferentially on the inside of the pipe to alter the angular position of the runners with respect to the longitudinal axis of the pipe. In this way the runners, which support the pipe pig by contact with the inside surface of the pipe, may rotate so as to avoid obstructions as they are encountered. Such obstructions may take the forms of openings in the pipe wall or protrusions into the pipe from the pipe wall. Various devices may be used to detect the presence of such obstacles and to detect both the axial position and angular orientation of the pig within the pipe. The apparatus for changing the angular position of the runners may be integrated with or separate from the apparatus for moving the pig axially in the pipe.

Abstract: The invention relates to an air guidance device which responds to externally applied forces by movement whereby the externally applied forces do not damage said air guidance device. Embodiments of this invention include at least one hinge pivotally attached to the body wall at the rear of a motor vehicle. Said hinge arrangements allow air guidance device to be pivoted upwardly when subjected to external forces such as a washing brush of a car wash when said brush passes over a passenger car in a driving direction. The air guidance device so configured is neither damaged when driving through the car wash, nor is the washing cycle unintentionally interrupted.

Abstract: Increased safety in the area of running clearance between the step (12) and the skirt panel (10) of an escalator is provided by an elongated tubular bladder (24) running the length of the skirt panel, behind the panel just opposite the step. Inward deflection of the skirt panel indicative of an object trapped between the step and the panel increases the air pressure in the bladder. A switch (30) sensitive to the increased bladder pressure controls a relay (32) that shuts off the escalator drive motor (33) and applies the escalator brake (34).

Abstract: A decorative strip detachably secured at the support flange of a motor vehicle includes two essentially parallelly extending support sections of which one abuts at the bottom side of the support flange. Detent members are provided at a retaining clamp fastened at a flange bolt which engage form-lockingly and force-lockingly into one of several detent receiving elements of the support sections arranged one behind the other, whereby the apertures are preferably provided at the support section opposite the support flange. A decorative strip is created by this arrangement which with a secure fastening is adjustable relative to the body as well as adapted to be installed and disassembled in a simple manner.

Abstract: The present invention describes a light-sensitive copying material comprising a support and a light-sensitive layer which contains from 0.01 to 10 percent by weight of a non-ionic ester which is obtained by reacting a perfluoro-carboxylic acid with a polyalkylene glycol or of an ether which is obtained by reacting a highly fluorinated or a perfluorinated alkanol with a polyalkylene glycol. By the addition of the fluorinated compound, a more uniform coating is achieved, even when one solvent alone is used for the coating solution.

The invention also relates to a light-sensitive transfer material including the photopolymerizable mixture.

Abstract: A tensioning- and friction welding apparatus for strapping a band formed of thermoplastic material about an article or object, comprising a welding-clamping jaw driven for to-and-fro movement relative to a counter-clamping jaw by means of an inclined drive lever or the like. The jaws engage with the ends of the bands clamped therebetween and which are also engaged by a reverse movement-blocking device, tension such band ends and after reaching a predestined band tension weld the band ends to one another. The counter-clamping jaw is locked in a work position and can be released therefrom and displaced in the tensioning direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to an improved apparatus for tensioning and fusing together strips of plastics material, having a pair of clamping members mounted on a support base and between which members overlapping strip portions are inserted tensioned, and fused together by frictional heat generated upon movement of one clamping member relataive to the other; the improvement resides in that the clamping members comprise clamping jaws of which at least one is adaptd to be reciprocable at a frequency corresponding to the speed of a drive shaft and that the drive is effected via a gearing which presses said driven reciprocable clamping jaw against the strip abutting it during its movement in the tensioning direction.
