Abstract: The bar is machined, according to a required longitudinal and/or circumferential profile, by rotating tools carried by a main plate driven in rotation on the frame, the tools being connected to the plate by tool supports radially mobile on this plate, and depending on the required profile, a radial movement of the tool supports is controlled according to the axial position of the bar in relation to the chassis and/or the circumferential positions of the tools in relation to the bar. To control the radial movement, a secondary plate is driven in rotation coaxially to the main plate. The secondary plate including a device for actuating tool supports, arranged so that the positions of the tool supports depend on the relative angular position between the main plate and the secondary plate and, to permanently adjust the radial positioning of the tools during the rotation of the main plate, the relative angular position is modified.

Abstract: A liquid dispensing tap, includes a body for mounting in the bung of a container, a valve or a membrane for sealing an orifice dispensing the liquid, provided with a control member and made in a single-piece therewith and with an element for sealed pressing of the valve or membrane sealing the orifice on its seat, the valve being housed opposite to the part designed to be mounted in the bung, and elements for actuating the control member. The element for sealed pressing of the valve or membrane sealing the orifice on its seat includes an elastically deformable element forming a spring and linked to the valve or membrane sealing the orifice and to the control member via a common guide element and to a fixing flange co-operating with pins fixing and centering the body.

Abstract: A storage/transport container has a rigid and floor-forming pallet having a generally rectangular outer edge having four sides, an annular and erect outer wall in the form of a gridwork of metal rods defining a plurality of generally flat side panels extending upward from the sides of the edges, meeting at corners, and each formed of a set of horizontal metal rods and a set of vertical metal rods, and an inner vessel composed of flexible plastic material enclosed by the outer wall and supported on the pallet. The gridworks are attached to the pallet generally at the respective sides thereof.
