Abstract:
A dressed leather comprises a split leather having one side from which fibers protrude, a first layer of a solidified aqueous dispersion having a thickness between 0.07 mm and 0.22 mm of a synthetic plastics material in which the fibers are completely immersed on the one side, a second layer of a synthetic plastics material of generally the same thickness as the first layer bonded to the first layer and having turned away therefrom a textured surface, and a finish layer overlying the textured surface of the second layer. The split leather is substantially free of the dispersion except at the fibers.
Abstract:
A foamed material, which is adapting under pressure to the shape of parts, particularly of parts of the human body, but which on pressure relief again returns to a vast extent and after a certain restoring time into the original shape, consists of the following constituents:(a) substantially saturated liquid hydrocarbons;(b) unsaturated liquid hydrocarbons, preferably polybutadiene;(c) a reactive agent, preferably polyisocyanate, with which the unsaturated liquid hydrocarbons are reacted;(d) a cross-linking agent, for example ethylene hexane diol;(e) hollow microspheres, the thin shell of which consists of vinylidene chloride copolymer and the interior of which contains a gas.The production of such a foamed material is preferably such that the substantially saturated liquid hydrocarbons and the unsaturated hydrocarbons are intermixed, noting that particles consisting of a vinylidene chloride copolymer and containing an inflating agent are added to this mixture or to a constituent of this mixture, and noting that the mixture is, prior or after this addition, heated to a temperature between 92.degree. C. and 165.degree. C. and preferably 105.degree. C., so that hollow microspheres are formed in situ, and that subsequently the cross-linking agent is added and that finally, after optionally adding a catalyst, the mixture is combined with the reactive agent and intensely mixed, whereupon the mixture is filled into a mold and allowed to react.
Abstract:
A long-term electrode for electrolytic processes comprises a skeleton of a metal passive under the conditions of the electrolytic process and an electrically conductive first coating which is bound to the metal skeleton in a tightly adhesive manner covering at least part of the metal surface and to which is applied electrochemically active substances selected from the group of platinum metals and platinum metal compounds.The first coating is produced on the metal surface by flame or plasma spraying. Subsequently at least one electrochemically active substance containing a platinum metal or oxide thereof is formed by a thermal degradation process and anchored to the pores of the first coating.
Abstract:
A support for at least one brush element. The support includes at least one carrier, to which the at least one brush element is removably attached on a flat front side of the at least one carrier, and at least one bar, which is removably attached to the at least one carrier on a rear side opposite the front side of the at least one carrier. To the rear side of the at least one carrier at least one elastic locking element is attached, which is lockable with a plurality of parallel flutes of the at least one bar.
Abstract:
A slide bearing, which is to be used particularly as a crankshaft main bearing of an internal-combustion engine, has a bearing block and a bearing cap. The bearing cap is constructed of a different material than the bearing block. The slide bearing has a bearing layer which is firmly connected with it and consists of a material which is softer than that of the bearing cap and that of the bearing block.
Abstract:
The cooling of a hydraulically-operated wet clutch with coolant is primarily required during the slippage phase when the linings are heated by the slip, that is, when the torque transmitted by the clutch is less than the torque delivered by the engine. A coolant flow control is provided in which a coolant control valve is controlled in such a way that it interrupts the coolant flow to the clutch during operation with clutch engaged or disengaged and opens the coolant flow to the clutch during the engagement process of the clutch and, if required, for a predetermined time interval following the engagement process. However, the coolant control valve only opens the coolant flow to the clutch during the disengagement process if the slippage phase during disengagement lasts longer than a predetermined second time interval.
Abstract:
A dressed leather is provided which comprises a split leather having one side from which fibers protrude, a first layer of solidified aqueous dispersion having a thickness between 0.07 mm and 0.22 mm of a synthetic plastics material in which the fibers are completely immersed on the one side, and a second layer of a synthetic plastics material of generally the same thickness of the first layer bonded to the first layer and having turned away therefrom a textured or non-textured surface. Additionally, there may be a finish layer overlying the textured or non-textured surface of the second layer. The split leather is substantially free of the dispersion except at the fibers.
Abstract:
An elastic molded body comprising a cell structure consists of an elastic synthetic plastics material produced by a polyaddition reaction between a liquid diisocyanate or polyisocyanate and a reactant containing at least 18 percent by weight polybutadiene. Elastic hollow microspheres having thin shells consisting of a vinylidene chloride copolymer are embedded within this synthetic plastics material and are firmly an unseparably connected with the elastomeric synthetic plastics material, the hollow microspheres, the interior of which contains a gas, forming closed cells within the synthetic plastics material. These hollow microspheres can be formed in situ within the synthetic plastics material when producing the molded body by inflating compact particles of a vinylidene chloride copolymer and containing an inflating agent under the influence of heat, particularly under the influence of the heat of reaction generated. The hollow microspheres have a diameter between 10 and 100 micrometer. A crosslinking agent, for example butane-diol-1,4, a catalyst, pigments and/or plasticizers can be added to said reactant.

To the rear side of the at least one carrier at least one elastic locking element is attached, which is lockable with a plurality of parallel flutes of the at least one bar.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a system for supplying hydraulic fluid to a hydraulic system, with an operating reservoir that accepts the hydraulic fluid provided for the operation of the hydraulic system and an auxiliary reservoir connected to the operating reservoir over a hydraulic line for intermediate storage of hydraulic fluid withdrawn from the operating reservoir. According to the invention, an air pump is available that is connected on the one hand on its low pressure side to a suction line that ends in a fluid free area of the auxiliary reservoir, so that a negative pressure can be built up in the auxiliary reservoir as against the external atmospheric pressure, and that is connected, on the other hand, to a control line that is provided with a control opening that is covered by the hydraulic fluid in the operating reservoir at least before the air pump is put into operation.
