Abstract: Construction board is made by first hot-pressing particles in a continuous belt press to form a longitudinally extending, continuous and hot composite strand that is conveyed downstream from the press. Before substantial cooling of the boards and while it is at a predetermined temperature above ambient temperature, an edge of the strand is profiled into a nonsquare profiled contour. Then the strand is transversely severed to form a succession of boards.

Abstract: A vehicle seat has a sitting surface and a backrest which has a backrest upholstery with a forward upholstery arching arranged in the region of the lumbar vertebrae of the seat user for the purpose of relieving the user's intervertebral discs. For the physiologically most efficient back support for seat users of widely varying body height, without the need to carry out individual adaptation measures on the backrest, the upholstery arching is configured such that its contour vertex is located approximately 250 to 275 mm above the sitting surface and here is itself made so flexible that it easily matches the shape of the back of the seat user, and a relatively rigid pelvic support is formed in the upholstery arching approximately 150 to 175 mm above the sitting surface.

Abstract: A shifting arrangement for an automatic transmission has a selector lever guided in a shifting channel by which various transmission gears can be preselected. The forward gears can be shifted by hand by a manual gear selecting device. The gear selecting device is arranged on the selector lever or is constructed, for example, as a steering column switch. An electronic control unit controls the automatic as well as the manual gear selection.

Abstract: A shifting arrangement for an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle controlled by an electronic control unit has a selector lever, the pivoting of which into a first shifting path, allows driving positions to be preselected, each driving position having various transmission gears which are to be shifted automatically. If the selector lever, by way of a transverse path, is changed over into a second shifting path which is parallel to the first shifting path, the transmission gears may be shifted manually by a pivoting in the second shifting path. In order to ensure a stable and vibration-free bearing of the shifting arrangement, the selector lever is disposed in a hollow frame which includes a pot-shaped bottom part made of a light metal casting and a cover plate screwed to the top of the bottom part.

Abstract: A shifting arrangement of an automatic transmision of a motor vehicle has a selector lever which can be pivoted in two shifting paths. In the first shifting path of the selector lever, various operating positions and automatically shifting gears of the transmission may be selected via a transmitting device. The selector lever can be changed over into a second shifting path in which, by a one-time pivoting of the selector lever from a center position, an upshifting or return shifting may take place by one gear respectively. A locking device interacts with the transmitting device so that the transmitting device, from which the selector lever is separated in the second shifting path, is held in its intended position.

Abstract: Molds for continuous casting machines are made by providing a plurality of different tubular blanks of copper or copper based alloys; selecting a particular blank and feeding same to a first working station in which the blank is provided with a thrust mount such as a rim against which a mandrel to be inserted can abut during subsequent working; a particular mandrel is selected from among a plurality of stored mandrels and forced into the rimmed tubular blank; by means of a die, the tubular blank is forced onto the mandrel in all around, tight, surface to surface contact while preferably a normal orientation of the die is maintained in relation to the mandrel passing through; thereafter the mandrel is recovered from the blank and either returned to the station of mandrel insertion or to the mandrel store.

Abstract: An indicating system for an automatic motor vehicle transmission is described which includes second indicating elements in addition to first indicating elements for indicating a preselected driving step. The second indicating elements, particularly during a semi-automatic operating mode of the motor vehicle transmission with a manual preselection of the gear steps, displays an actually shifted gear step. The first and second indicating elements are advantageously arranged in two vertical parallel rows in an indicating instrument of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A shifting arrangement for an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle controlled by an electronic control apparatus includes a shifting lever to be manually actuated. By pivoting the shifting lever in a first shifting lane, the different transmission speeds can be selected. After shifting the shifting lever by way of a cross lane into a second shifting lane, the desired forward speed can be manually engaged by means of the same.
