Abstract: A fast-rope system for use with a rotary aircraft includes a tubular housing attached to an interior portion of a cabin and adjacent to an upper portion of an exit door opening of the rotary aircraft and a fast-rope frame structure rotatably coupled to the tubular housing. The fast-rope frame structure includes a cylindrical pipe contained partially within the tubular housing and operable to rotate within the tubular housing and a cantilever beam structure fixedly connected to the cylindrical pipe and configured to have a fast rope attached thereto and move in response to rotation of the cylindrical pipe within the tubular housing.

Abstract: A closing unit for injection mold machines is disclosed which generally includes two end plates, guide crosspieces connecting the end plates at a distance from one another, an intermediate plate which is parallel to the end plates and displaceable longitudinally relative to the guide crosspieces and moving cylinders which abut an end plate and act at the intermediate plate via their piston rods. The moving cylinders also displace the intermediate plate along the guide crosspiece in the closing and opening direction to vary its distance from the other end plate. The intermediate plate and the other end plate form a gripping plate for the two mold halves of a form tool which is brought into its closing position by the two gripping plates. Increased closing force may be applied to the form tool at a central die via a pressure cushion insertable between one end plate and the intermediate plate.
