Abstract: An automatic adjustment device for internal shoe brakes, comprises a fixed housing disposed interiorly of a rotating brake drum, a slidably guided, non-rotatable, axially displaceable pressure element disposed in the housing and operated mechanically or by a pressurized fluid, the pressure element acting on the brake shoe via a rotatable adjustment bushing and an adjusting bolt which is screw-connected to the adjustment bushing and is non-rotatably connected to the brake shoe, and a ring rotatably mounted in the pressure element. A first end face of the ring rests against a spring which presses against the base of the pressure element, and a second end face of the ring rests against the end face of the adjustment bushing which extends into the interior of the pressure element. The ring has an inclined slot engaged by a pin element affixed to the housing. The mutually facing end faces of the ring and adjustment bushing form a ratchet-like unidirectional clutch.

Abstract: A cooling arrangement for a forming tool of a machine for forming molten glass or other thermoplastic materials, wherein the forming tool is coolable by a pressure fluid and turnable about a first pivoting axle, includes at least one stationary supply conduit having an outlet opening, a pressure distributing device for the forming tool turnable relative to said supply conduit about the first pivoting axle, and a connecting conduit arranged to connect each supply conduit with the pressure fluid distributing device and having an articulated conduit component turnable about a second pivoting axle which is fixed relative to the pressure fluid distributing device and is parallel to the first pivoting axle, the articulated conduit component having an inlet opening which is in a constant communication with the outlet opening of the supply conduit, the articulated conduit component being displaceable relative to the supply conduit in a displacement plane normal to the pivoting axles.

Abstract: A mechanically operated sliding saddle disc brake has a fixedly positioned brake carrier 1, a brake saddle 2 mounted in the brake carrier and slidably displaceable parallel to the rotational axis of the wheel to be braked, with two shanks 2', 2" which straddle a brake disc which is rotationally fast with the wheel, a piston 14 mounted in the first brake saddle shank 2' slidably displaceable parallel to the rotational axis of the wheel and connected to a pressure plate 12, a first brake lining carrier 4 positioned on pressure plate 12 which carries a brake lining 4' which can be brought into engagement on one side of the brake disc, a mechanically operated expansion mechanism supported on piston 14 and on the first brake saddle shank 2', a second brake lining carrier 3 positioned on second brake saddle shank 2" which carries brake lining 3' which can be brought into engagement with the other side of the brake disc, and guides 11, 11' positioned on brake carrier 1 for guiding and supporting the two brake lining

Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulically operable brake, in particular, a servo brake, with a brake carrier arranged secure against turning on the vehicle, a wheel cylinder fastened to the circumferential zone of the brake carrier, which wheel cylinder is connected over hydraulic lines with a pressure medium source, an automatic resetting device fastened to the circumferential zone of the brake carrier lying opposite the wheel cylinder, a brake-jaw bracing angle piece fastened to the brake carrier, two brake jaws, the oppositely lying ends of which abut on the piston of the wheel cylinder and on the threaded bolts of the readjusting device, and with restoring springs that engage on the brake jaws and on the brake carrier.

Abstract: A transfer station of a glass-forming machine includes a depositing plate for receiving at least two transversely spaced glass articles, such as bottles or the like, from the glass-forming machine. The depositing plate is mounted on a vertical shaft for turning therewith about the axis of the latter to move the glass articles thereon from a receiving to a transfer position, and the shaft with the plate is movable in vertical direction into the region of a transfer mechanism arranged to transfer the bottles from the plate to a conveyor adjacent to the plate.

Abstract: A distributing arrangement for a pressurized cooling fluid, especially air, for cooling a forming tool of a machine for forming thermoplastic material, especially molten glass, wherein the forming tool includes at least one split mold including mold segments which are respectively mounted on mold segment holders for movement therewith relative to one another and each of which is provided with a plurality of fluid channels for the flow of the pressurized of fluid channels for the flow of the pressurized cooling fluid therethrough, comprises a fluid distributing box including for each of the mold segments at least two branch channels individually communicating with at least one of the fluid channels when the distributing box is mounted on the mold segment holder.

Abstract: A cooling arrangement for use in a machine for treating a thermoplastic material, especially molten glass, for cooling a split forming tool, parts of which are mounted on the machine for pivoting about a first pivoting axle, by a pressurized cooling fluid, especially air, includes at least one supply conduit stationarily mounted on the machine and operative for supplying the cooling fluid, and at least one articulated connecting conduit extending between the supply conduit and a respective fluid distributing means mounted for joint pivoting with the forming tool parts about the first pivoting axle, each articulated connecting conduit having at least two components one of which is pivotally mounted on a second pivoting axle arranged at the supply conduit, and the other of which is connected to the one component by a third pivoting axle for relative pivoting and is pivotally mounted on the fluid distributing means for pivoting relative thereto by a fourth pivoting axle, the first, second, third and fourth pivot

Abstract: A chlorine and silver-containing water sterilizing agent, comprising a sodium-silver-chloride complex consisting of a water-soluble silver compound and sodium chloride, and an excess of sodium chloride.

Abstract: Air contining objectionable gaseous or smoky materials is purified by contacting and reacting the objectionable substances with an aqueous solution of ozone. The solution may be acidic or alkaline and preferably contains about 0.1 to 10 grams of ozone per cubic meter of solution.The ozone and the substance to be treated may be injected simultaneously into the treating solution, and the treatment may be conducted by counter-current washing.
