Abstract: Fluid damper for damping aiming movements, for instance when tracking a target. The damper comprises a substantially disc-shaped cylindrical housing (9) in which a drum-wheel (11) is supported for rotation so that an inner gap spacing (24) is provided between the drum-wheel and a slipping ring (14) integrated in the outer cylindrical wall (13) of the damper housing. Said gap spacing (24) is filled with a high-viscosity damping fluid so that a damping torque is obtained which is linearly increasing to the angular velocity for velocities up to a certain level but which are limited for velocities exceeding said level due to the fact that the slipping ring (14) starts rotating with respect to the other parts of the damper housing. The slipping ring (14) is made of a material which is temperature stable and which can be made with a high accuracy with respect to its dimensions for instance carbon-fibre reinforced epoxy resin.

Abstract: A device to prevent the gears of an automotive vehicle from being shifted from forward, reverse or neutral to another position unless the brakes are firmly applied. The transmission includes a gear shift actuator that is rotatable between forward, neutral and reverse positions, and fixed to this actuator is a lever having an axially projecting fin on one side of the free end. Pivoted on a supporting frame is a steel bar having notches in one edge that are shaped and positioned to engage the fin on the lever whenever the lever is in any one of its three operating positions. A spring bears against the bar to urge the notched edge toward the fin of the lever, so that the bar normally engages and locks the lever. A hydraulic cylinder has its piston rod attached to the bar, and the cylinder is connected to the hydraulic braking system of the vehicle, so that when the brakes are applied, the cylinder acts to disengage the bar from the lever.

Abstract: A self-adjusting release system for the friction clutch of a motor vehicle wherein the output element of the clutch is or transmits torque to the input element of a change-speed transmission. The input member of the release system is a first lever which is pivotable by the clutch pedal and is automatically coupled to a second lever when it leaves its starting position in response to depression of the pedal whereby the second lever disengages the clutch. The first lever automatically engages a brake for the input element of the change-speed transmission as soon as the clutch is disengaged. A set of springs is provided to automatically return the levers to their starting positions when the pressure upon the clutch pedal is relaxed and to uncouple the second lever from the first lever in order to enable the second lever to change its angular position relative to the first lever for the purpose of compensating for wear upon component parts of the clutch, brake and/or release system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a torque-limiting clutch. An engagement lock (2, 8, 9, 11, 12) and a friction clutch (6, 20-26) disengageable counter to the force of an axially acting spring are arranged in series in the force transmission path between the drive side (1) and the power take-off side (26) of the clutch. The engagement lock (2, 8, 9, 11, 12) is stressed by a second spring which, when the engagement lock has been disengaged, acts on a first portion of the adjustment travel only. Assigned to the locking device (9) of the engagement lock (2, 8, 9, 11, 12) is an ascending curve, the steepness of which is greater over the first portion of the adjustment travel than over the portion adjoining the latter. In this clutch, the limiting torque is determined solely by the second spring.

The inner sections of the rings are held apart by one or more distancing projections provided on one or both rings. The projections of one ring can abut against the adjacent surface of or against registering projections provided on the other ring, and the projections of one ring can be bonded or mechanically secured to the other ring or to the projections of the other ring. A single circumferentially extending projection on one of the rings can replace an entire annulus of discrete projections.

Abstract: A coin checking device is provided in a coin handling machine for discriminating genuine coins from counterfeit. The coin checking device includes detection coils comprising a transmitting coil for generating an exciting voltage and a receiving coil for generating an induced voltage. The detection coils detect the passage of each coin and sequentially issue signals. The coin checking device also includes a controller which may be a computer. The controller receives signals from the detection coils and makes calculations on the basis of the values of the signals in accordance with a stored program to obtain a reference value. In the controller, the reference value is then compared with a predetermined acceptable value and the degree of any difference in the value thus obtained determines whether the coin is genuine or counterfeit. The reference value in the controller is constantly renewed on the basis of new signal inputs into the controller.

Abstract: A first transporting unit advances a series of stacks of paper sheets along a straight first path. A transfer conveyor can be lifted into the first path to divert selected stacks into the range of a second transporting unit which defines a second path making an oblique angle with the first path. The transfer conveyor is assisted by a pusher which is adjacent to the first path opposite the stack-receiving end of the second transporting unit and is movable at right angles to the first path to move the diverted stack sideways. Such stack strikes a yieldable bumper which expels it from the second path into the range of a third transporting unit serving to advance stacks in parallelism with or at right angles to the direction of movement of stacks along the first path. The orientation of selected stacks remains unchanged during diversion from the first into the second path as well as during diversion from the second into the third path.

The fluted carriage design also prevents the sample collection tubes from spontaneous dislodgment. Sample organizers may be "stacked" or nested due to the lightweight frame design and further, provide for fluid sample identification such as number, name, source, verification, etc.

Abstract: A radioactive waste multiple container system which provides a simplified method whereby a plurality of drums can be placed in a remote, unmanned storage facility in one materials handling sequence, as opposed to a plurality of separate materials handling sequences, such as required for individual drums utilizing a remotely-controlled materials handling system. The multiple container system also functions as an interim storage system in that it will allow for stacking up to a total of ten levels high. Each container interlocks with each successive unit, through automatic, passive alignment of the individual container with the previously placed unit, while being handled completely by remote control. This interlock and alignment feature insures greater stack stability, substantially increasing the overall storage efficiency of the remote storage facility. While a "6-pack" container system has been described, a 4, 8, 10, 12 etc. system may be used instead.
