  • Publication number: 20230211863
    Abstract: A marine drive unit for a boat includes a cooling compartment arranged in a drive unit body. The cooling compartment forms part of a closed cooling circuit, where the cooling circuit is arranged to cool propulsion components of the boat, where the cooling compartment comprises an inlet opening, an inlet channel, a lower end, an outlet channel and an outlet opening, where the inlet channel forms a first flow path for a cooling fluid from the inlet opening to the lower end of the cooling compartment. The outlet channel forms a second flow path for the cooling fluid from the lower end of the cooling compartment to the outlet opening, thereby allowing heat from the cooling fluid to dissipate through the outer wall of the drive unit.

  • Patent number: 6290385
    Abstract: A device for the homogenization of a liquid contained in a container comprises a pipe device possible to stick down in the container, said pipe device including an inner pipe (5′) and an outer pipe (6′). A cup-like collar (15) with a bottom plate (16) and a circumfering flange (17) is mounted on the inner pipe. There are openings (18, 18′) in the flange (17) which co-operate with analogous holes (19, 19′) in the outer pipe (6′). When a hole (19′) is adjusted in flush with an opening (18), the return liquid is ejected from a ring-shaped gap (9) in a radial jet. When a hole (19) is adjusted in a position distanced from an opening (18), the return liquid which passes the hole will meet the inside of the flange (17) and be deflected in a upwardly directed flow in the container. By setting the collar (15) in a suitable position, optimum homogenization of the liquid may be attained.

  • Patent number: 6129295
    Abstract: A spray gun (1) includes a head (2) having an element (5) for connecting a liquid hose (7) as well as a handle member (3) having a member (6) for connecting a compressed air hose (8). The liquid hose (7) is, along the major part of the length thereof, drawn inside the wider compressed air hose (8), a coupling part (10) of the multi-way type being connected to the connection member (6) of the handle member (3). The coupling part includes a main duct (11) for compressed air, as well as at least one branch duct (14), extending at an angle to the main duct, through which the liquid hose (7) is drawn and which includes at least one sealing (18) which air-proofly cuts off an annular gap between the inside of the branch duct and the outside of the liquid hose.

  • Patent number: 6048206
    Abstract: In a method of adapting a bridge structure (22) with a plurality of connectors (23) such that the bridge structure fits anchoring elements in a patient's jaw, a reference plane (27) for the bridge structure and a reference plane (21) for a model (20) of a patient's jaw are determined. Moreover, extension members (30) are mounted on each of the anchoring elements (24) in the model. Prior to the actual adaptation, the bridge structure and the model are mounted such that their reference planes extend in a predetermined plane. A tool is controlled to shorten each of the extension membes and each of the connectors such that their end surfaces are parallel with the predetermined plane after shortening.

  • Patent number: 5514011
    Abstract: A propeller has a hub affixed to a propeller shaft so as to rotate therewith. The hub is axially locked by a locking arrangement consisting of a lock nut screwed on to the shaft and a lock screw screwed into the end of the shaft to lock the nut. The screw is tightened more than the nut in order to cause the thread on the nut to load the opposite thread flank on the shaft. A portion of the nut which is deformed during tightening of the screw holds the nut and screw together during subsequent removal of the propeller.

  • Patent number: 5423701
    Abstract: A double propeller arrangement for a marine propulsion unit, for example of the type which includes a so-called stern-drive. Each propeller has a hub consisting of an inner sleeve with splines for attachment to a propeller shaft, an outer sleeve with propeller blades, and an elastic bushing between the sleeves. Particular to the propeller arrangement is that the inner sleeve of respective propeller hubs is provided with an axial passage for the discharge of exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine connected to the propeller drive.

  • Patent number: 5195890
    Abstract: A device for supporting artificial teeth, which device is intended to be secured to anchoring elements in a jaw, includes tubes, which are secured to the anchoring elements, and a bridge formed as an integral piece and fixed to the end surfaces of the tubes. The end surface of each tube is in the same plane as the corresponding engagement surface on the bridge. For making the device, one or more planes are determined, giving the bridge a suitable position in relation to the anchoring elements, and the tubes are cut such that their end surfaces will be located in the planes when the device has been secured to the anchoring elements. Each of the engagement surfaces of the bridge is thereafter processed so as to be located in the same plane as the end surface of the corresponding tube, and the bridge is finally secured to the tubes by welding.

  • Patent number: 4478570
    Abstract: A disposable gas lighter of the butane-fuel type comprises a flow-reducing membrane upstream of the valve and designed to limit the height of the flame. The membrane includes a mesoporous layer whose pores have a radius ranging from 20 to 500 .ANG.ngstroms and positioned so that an upstream face of this membrane communicates directly with the interior of the liquid fuel reservoir, i.e. without a wicking structure.

  • Patent number: 4219973
    Abstract: The invention relates to a grinding machine for chamfering workpiece end surfaces and renders possible a high-capacity machine, which removes material from the workpiece end surfaces only to an amount necessary for obtaining a product acceptable for continued working. This is achieved thereby that the grinding pendulum is mounted pivotally in a pendulum mounting, which is rotatable about an axis substantially in parallel with the longitudinal axis of the workpiece, so that the grinding wheel is caused to perform a circular movement after the workpiece outline.
