A housing for a household appliance, such as a refrigerator, has walls that are covered at least locally by a colored plastic film. Preferably, the film may be a thermoplastic foil that is heated and stretched onto the walls. The film may be applied on the finished housing or it may be placed on individual wall panels prior to the final assembly of the appliance housing.

摘要:
A cutterhead for a string trimmer having a rotatable drive shaft is adapted to hold and meter a cutting filament during operational use thereof. The cutterhead includes a disc-like carrier fixedly connected to one end of the drive shaft to permit the carrier to rotate about a rotational axis. The carrier has a peripheral edge and a peripherally extending outer wall approximately perpendicular to the carrier along the peripheral edge. The outer wall defines a space for accommodating the cutting filament in the cutterhead and has a guide eyelet disposed therein to define a pass-through opening for guiding the filament from the space to the outside of the cutterhead where a segment of the filament extends radially outwardly from the outer wall to define a cutting plane when the drive shaft rotates. The guide eyelet is made of wear-resistant material and is adapted to the diameter of the cutting filament. A stop is disposed in the cutting plane for receiving the segment of the cutting filament thereagainst when the segment strikes an obstacle and is deflected during operation of the string trimmer. The stop is disposed radially forward of the outer wall next to the pass-through opening.

A warming bowl for electrically heating lavage and irrigation liquid for use during medical-surgical procedures includes an electric heating device and an automatic thermostatic control to heat and maintain the liquid at a substantially constant temperature. The warming bowl is disposable after use and has an inner and an outer bowl sealed to one another so as to provide an internal sealed region therebetween for holding a battery to power the electric heating device. The inner bowl serves to hold irrigation liquid and supports therein a housing made of low-thermal-conductivity material that houses the electric heating device and the thermostatic control in spaced, substantially thermally isolated relation from one another. A metallic thermal shunt conductor is disposed along and in contact with a portion of the external periphery of the housing and extends over and across the space between the heating device and the thermostatic control. The housing is fixedly supported spacedly above the inner bowl's bottom. When the inner bowl is filled with irrigation liquid, a major portion of the housing is exposed to the liquid at least over a substantial part of the outer surface of the shunt conductor. An external power source can be selectively optionally connected to power the heating device.

For the production of extrudates of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, finely divided polyethylene or polyethylene powder is introduced into the cooled feed zone of a single-screw extruder and compressed therein, melted in a transport zone of the extruder and discharge with shaping of the extrudate and cooling. The polyethylene is processed in the transport zone using a velocity gradient of from 50 to 1,000 sec.sup.-1 in the radial play between the screw and the extruder barrel, heated to 180.degree.-280.degree. C. and then transferred to a screw-free zone in which final shaping of the extrudate is effected.
摘要:
The fluidic oscillator consists of a resonant fluid circuit having a fluid inertance and a dynamic fluid compliance. The inertance is a conduit interconnecting two locations of a chamber on each side of a working fluid jet issuing into one end of the chamber, the inertance conduit serving to transfer working fluid between the two locations. Through one or more output orifices located approximately at the opposite end of the chamber, the fluid exits from a chamber exit region which is shaped to facilitate formation of a vortex (the dynamic compliance) from the entering fluid. The flow pattern in the chamber and particularly the vortex in the chamber exit region provide flow aspiration on one side and surplus of flow on the opposite side of the chamber, which effects accelerate and respectively decelerate the fluid in the inertance conduit such as to cause reversal of the vortex after a time delay given by the inertance. The vortex in the chamber exit region will thus cyclically alternate in the velocity and direction of rotation to direct outflow through the output orifice such as to produce a cyclically repetitive side-to-side sweeping stream our spray pattern whose direction is determined, at any instant in time, as a function of the vectorial sum, at the output orifice, of the tangential vortex flow spin velocity vector and the static pressure vector as well as the dynamic pressure component, both directed radially from the vortex. By changing these parameters by suitable design measures and operating conditions and by appropriately configuring the oscillator, sweep angle, oscillation frequency, distribution, outflow velocity, break up into droplets, etc. can be readily controlled over large ranges.
摘要:
In a clothes washer, liquid pulses are delivered to a bucket or tank of water to create continuously re-circulating flow therein in a vertical plane. The flow carries the clothes in a tumbling action and the pulses agitate the clothes passing the pulse source. Air is introduced into the water pulses and forms air bubbles in the tank which attract dirt particles and carry them to the surface where they are removed as part of a continuous surface overflow. In a preferred embodiment the liquid pulses are delivered by a novel fluidic oscillator of the feedback type in which air is continuously entrained by the power stream from each feedback passage in alternation.
