Abstract: A sanitary fitting adapted to be rotatably mounted to a sanitary fixture is disclosed. The sanitary fitting includes a valve body and spout assembly and may be of unitary design. The valve body and spout assembly is rotatably mounted on a tubular manifold which is rigidly mounted to the sanitary fixture. Flexible hose means is coupled between a supply source and the valve body. Special seal means, such as O-rings, lubricants or the like, is not required since the flexible hose means is coupled to the valve body whereby water does not contact the rotatable connection.

Abstract: Easily water-dispersed formulations of a phthalocyanine pigment which contain--based on the formulation--(a) from 70 to 95% by weight of finely divided phthalocyanine pigment of which the mean primary particle size is less than 0.5 .mu.m, and (b) from 30 to 5% by weight of one or more alkylarylsulfonic acids, where alkyl is of 4 to 20 carbon atoms, but the sum of the alkyl carbon atoms is not less than 8, which alkylarylsulfonic acids may be in the form of water-soluble salts. A fine dispersion of the formulations is obtainable by sprinkling the formulations into water and shaking. The dispersions obtained are stable and can be filtered through a paper filter without leaving a residue. The finely dispersed pigment is absorbed quantitatively on wool, cotton or paper pulp.

Abstract: A new pigmentary form of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid diimide of the formula ##STR1## which has a specific surface area (measured by the BET method) of from 5 to 20 m.sup.2 /g and a maximum in the particle size distribution at from 0.2 to 1.mu. in length and from 0.1 to 0.4.mu. in width, the mean ratio of length to width being from 4:1 to 1:1, and the proportion of particles between these size limits being at least 50% of the total distribution. The pure shade of the new pigmentary from gives strongly yellowish red colorations which are very pure and very bright. The new pigment also has a good hiding power, which is from 2 to 3 times as great as that of the pigments of the prior art.

Abstract: A bearer panel has a panel body and supporting devices normally supported by the body. The body has horizontal transverse grooves which in a sectional profile thereof expand inwards. The supporting devices have lugs fitting the grooves.

Abstract: An arrangement for measuring the flatness or planar degree of metal strips under tensile stress while being rolled, in which measuring rollers are subdivided into roller sections. Measuring elements which may be in the form of strain gages, are held in suspensions having side members which are pivotable about a fixed axis. The side members also support the individual roller sections of the measuring rollers. The measuring elements or strain gages may be fixed in the roller bearings linking the suspension and the measuring rollers. The measuring elements may also be located in a recess of the side members. Each roller section may be provided with a measuring element, and the side members, furthermore, may be connected by rigid joints to a shaft which is reinforced by a rigid box and about which the side members are pivotable. The side members, moreover, may be T-shaped and be hinged to the rigid box, while being force-linked to a cover plate containing a recess for the measuring element.

Abstract: A new pigmentary form of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid diimide of the formula ##STR1## which has a specific surface area (measured by the BET method) of from 10 to 35 m.sup.2 /g and a maximum in the particle size distribution at from 0.1 to 0.5 .mu.m, the proportion of particles between these sizes being at least 50% of the total distribution and the mean ratio of length to width being from 3:1 to 1:1. The pure shade of the new pigmentary form gives strongly yellowish red colorations which are very pure and very bright. The new pigmentary form also has a good hiding power, which is from 2 to 3 times as great as that of the pigmentary forms of the prior art.

Abstract: A shearing arrangement for cutting moving bars in which two counter-rotating knife drums are rotatable in shear stands. These stands are spaced from each other and are located on a base plate. They are connected to each other above the knife drums by a disconnectable yoke. Both knife drums are mounted directly in the shear stands which are each of single-piece construction. The shear stands are inserted into the base plate and are connected to the base plate by quick-disconnect couplings. The quick-disconnect couplings between the shear stands and the base plate may be in the form of press rods, and the base plate may have lateral inclined guide surfaces or prisms for the shear stands. The knife drum is connected to its drive by an easily disengageable coupling which has a hydraulically shifted clutch sleeve.

Abstract: In a process for the manufacture of polychloro-copper phthalocyanines by chlorinating copper phthalocyanines in aluminum chloride/sodium chloride melts at from 110.degree. to 190.degree. C, the improvement wherein from 0.20 to 0.33 part by weight of copper phthalocyanines, per part by weight of melt, is rapidly introduced into the melt at temperatures from the solidification point of the melt to 120.degree. C, and after this material has been introduced, the chlorination, to give polychloro-copper phthalocyanine, is carried out at from 140.degree. to 160.degree. C by rapidly passing chlorine into the mixture. A polychloro-copper phthalocyanine which contains less than 0.05 per cent by weight of aluminum and which can be converted, by any conventional finishing process, into yellowish green pigment forms, is obtained with high space-time yield.

Abstract: A process for the manufacture of easily dispersed, transparent iron oxide pigments of high tinctorial strength, in which the pigment paste, moist with water, is homogenized under the action of shear forces in the presence of at least one monohydric aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alcohol of 4 to 12 carbon atoms which is partially soluble in water and can be vaporized without decomposition, and the kneaded mixture is then dried under gentle conditions. The pigments are easily dispersed in finishes or binder solutions for printing inks. Very pure and glossy colorations of optimum transparency are obtained.

Abstract: For use in connection with an underground reel in a rolling mill for band-shaped rolling stock, a two-roll driving device, with an upper driving roll and a lower driving roll which are arranged one above the other. When looking in the direction in which the rolling stock enters the reel, the axle of the upper driving roll is during the entry of the start of the rolling stock into the reel located behind the axle of the lower driving roll and after the start of the band-shaped rolling stock has been grasped by the winding mandrel of the reel the upper driving roll is pivotable into a position vertically above the axle of the lower driving roll, while behind the lower driving roll there is provided a deviating device for the band-shaped rolling stock. The upper driving roll is journalled in a stand which is pivotable about the axis of the lower driving roll and adjustable relative to the latter.

Abstract: A process for the manufacture of finely divided polyester-imide powders wherein solutions of polyester-imides in organic solvents are solidified by cooling, the solvent is removed by sublimation and the solid product is pulverized. The powders may be used, as aqueous dispersions, to produce heat-resistant coatings on metallic conductors.

Abstract: An arrangement for cooling hot rolled steel bands reeled into coils, according to which the rolling hot steel band after having been rolled into coils are cooled in a liquid bath.

Abstract: An intake device for a band rolling mill, which includes an upper driving roller and a lower driving roller adjustable relative to each other and forming with each other a bite into which the band to be rolled is fed by the driven rollers of a lower roller bed and the driven rollers of an upper roller bed while both roller beds form with each other a wedge-shaped feeding funnel pointing toward the bite formed by the upper and lower driving rollers. The angle which the upper and lower roller beds form with each other is variable at will.

Abstract: High tinctorial strength, easily dispersible perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboximides and N,N'-dialkylperylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboximides are produced by introducing a finely ground crude pigment whose primary particle size is not more than 0.05 micron into a primary aliphatic or aromatic amine, into a heterocyclic base, into an aliphatic carboxamide, into a mixture thereof, or into from 75 to 84% by weight sulfuric acid and converting it into pigmentary form at a temperature of from ambient temperature to 160.degree.C. The products are easily dispersible pigments of high tinctorial strength.
