Abstract:
The washing machine functions according to a new principle and contains the washable items, particularly washable textiles, in stacked layers in a mesh cage which is fixed in position at a drum rotatably mounted in a casing. Wash water as well as drying air flows through the preferably stationary or slowly rotating drum containing the washable items, is pumped off at an outlet of the casing, and returns again by way of a recirculation pipe to an inlet of the casing. Intermittent rotation of the drum, for example, by 180.degree., is also possible. In this manner, the wash water or drying air passes through the washable items first from one side and then from the opposite side. All switching procedures are electronically controlled according to a preselected program schedule. The washable items no longer can be damaged by catching on the drum, the wash cycle is more effective and thus shorter than before, and electric energy and chemicals are saved.
Abstract:
A drive mechanism for full-automatic opening and closing of a sliding door comprises two drive mechanisms for supplying different moving speeds to the door. A main motor for the higher speed drives a worm-gear spindle, a low-power motor for the lower speed drives a profiled bar. A gear wheel moving on the worm-gear spindle and a pinion slideably mounted on the profiled bar mesh with each other and are contained in a sliding carriage guiding the sliding door via a latch. The selective or common drive of both motors results in various combinations and enables an adaptation to the requirements for variable door speeds. The drive mechanism is of simple design, relatively cheap and does not require trained service personnel.
Abstract:
The interior of two metallic bellows is in fluid connection through capillary tubes with temperature sensors. The temperature sensors are located in places whose relative temperature difference should be determined. In the presence of a temperature difference two springs, each fixed between one of the two metallic bellows and a reference indicator, are pressed together whereby the reference indicator is displaced from its neutral position. The magnitude of this displacement is a measure of the temperature difference and is used by means of switching or recording mechanisms to activate a measuring, controlling, regulating or recording process.
Abstract:
In order to be able to run a gas turbine engine with pulverized coal as fuel on an industrial basis an arrangement is provided for utilizing the energy contained in the bypass flow with the help of which the solid combustion particles in the combustible gas are removed prior to its entry to the gas turbine blading. If the engine is used for an aircraft this arrangement consists of a thrust nozzle (12) impinged upon by the bypass flow which augments the action of the main thrust nozzle (7). For use in a stationary power plant this arrangement consists of a heat exchanger in which the heat of the bypass flow is utilized. Thus no unused energy gets lost by way of the bypass flow, so that the heat exchanger need not be kept extremely small for economic reasons. The result is a well cleaned combustible gas and the blades of the gas turbine (5) are to a large extent protected from erosion caused by combustible residues.
