Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for atomising fluids and having a bottom part (1) and a top part (2) disposed so as to be axially symmetrical with the bottom part, and comprising an intake air arrangement (3) and an outlet nozzle (4). The atomiser according to the invention also has an insert (5) for receiving a fluid (23) and a nozzle arrangement (6) disposed so as to be axially symmetrical with the intake air arrangement (3). The intake air arrangement (3) has a hollow cylindrical duct (7) with a conical widening (8) towards the incoming air end. As a result of being constructed according to the invention, the atormiser is particularly suitable for local inhalation anaesthesia, e g. in preparation for examination of the bronchi.
Abstract:
A mobile crane is disclosed which comprises a telescopic boom, which is pivoted to the rotating superstructure or rotating deck of the crane and is adapted to be luffed by a luffing cylinder, which is pivoted to the boom and the rotating deck. A guying yoke is pivoted on the rear of the telescopic boom near the middle of its base box. Two axially aligned spaced apart rope pulleys are rotatably mounted at the outer end of the guying yoke. A reversing rope pulley is provided adjacent to the top end of the telescopic boom. Also, a winch is provided with a rope, which serves to guy the telescopic boom and extends around one rope pulley of the guying yoke to the upper reversing rope pulley and back around the other rope pulley of the guying yoke to a fixed point. The winch and the point to which the rope is fixed are disposed on mutually opposite sides of the telescopic boom adjacent to the pivotal axis of the boom. The guying yoke is restrained by a hydraulic piston-cylinder unit, which is pivoted at one end to the guying yoke above the pivotal axis of the latter and is pivoted at the other end to the base box near the middle thereof between the pivotal axes of the guying yoke and the telescopic boom.
Abstract:
Accumulating heads to produce preliminary blanks for the production of hollow plastic articles such as containers by the blow process (known as the "joint extrusion process"), such blanks, being of cylindrical "tube" configuration and also laminates which are layers of different material. Suitable accumulating tube heads for the joint extrusion process are disclosed wherein the layers retain their relative positions and thickness ratios over their entire length up until expelled from the nozzle. The accumulating heads each have a plurality of coaxial annular feed passages, each fed from a different extruder, which open into an annular space and passage. The annular passage is located between the facing walls of concentric inner and outer packing washers. Concentric inner and outer annular pistons slide on the opposed surfaces of the washers and reciprocate in the reservoir chamber for expelling the plastic laminate through an annular nozzle conduit and an annular nozzle to form the laminated preliminary blanks.
Abstract:
A heat exchanger of the spiral-coil type in which, around a core tube, a sheet of thermally conductive material, e.g. metal, is coiled in a spiral to define passages between the turns of the spiral traversed by fluids to be subjected to heat exchange. According to the invention, neighboring metal sheets define flow passages between them and are sealed along the faces of the sheets and along the longitudinal edges over spaced-apart units of length so that the sections between the sheets are alternately open and closed at the longitudinal edges. The open passages at the longitudinal edges can communicate with a hood through which the fluid is distributed to or removed from a respective passage.
Abstract:
The interior chamber of a tanker is subdivided into at least two compartments by a partition wall that is formed of Invar steel and is at the same temperature as the liquids in the two compartments. The partition is rigidly secured to the bottom wall of the tanker and generally planar, with limited ability to expand and contract in the direction of its plane. This is effected by forming the partition of one or more upright tubes of round or square cross section interconnected, if desired, by webs lying in or at an angle to the plane. It is also possible to connect the outer edge of the partition to the side wall of the tanker by means of a panel tightly secured in a frame but slidable relative thereto to allow limited expansion and contraction.
Abstract:
An arrangement for the transport of low-temperature fluids, especially liquefied gases such as natural gas (i.e. methane) in a vehicle such as a sea-going vessel having a thermally insulated cargo compartment. The liquefied-gas storage container, composed of metal, has at least one side extending generally parallel to the wall of the compartment and is secured thereto against displacement perpendicular to this wall with at least one degree of freedom of movement relative to this wall in a direction parallel thereto. The storage container is constituted of a multiplicity of individual upright receptacles fastened together at theri outer peripheries at upper and lower portions into at least one group of receptacles capable of thermal expansion and contraction, the storage container being anchored to the juxtaposed wall of the cargo compartment at upper and lower portions enabling relative horizontal movement of the container parallel to the wall. At least the upper anchor assembly also enables vertical displacement of the anchor member or members secured to the container relative to the wall.
Abstract:
The instant invention relates to a process for the adjustment of a drafting unit of a draw frame. The drafting unit is equipped with drafting rollers (5, 5') supported in a pillow block (4, 4'). The pillow block (4, 4') is installed on a table (10). The height of the table (10) is adjusted by a first set of adjusting devices and the pitch of the table (10) is adjusted by a second set of adjusting device in relation to the frame (2). The table (10) is installed between the pillow block (4, 4') and the frame (2) for the positional adjustment of the pillow block (4, 4').
Abstract:
The invention relates to a mobile crane comprising a lower vehicle and an upper vehicle turningly mounted thereon and bearing a telescoping boom with a luffing cylinder for the pivoting thereof. The telescoping boom comprises two parts able to be bolted together and each having an external tube, from which respectively at least one telescope member may be extended.
Abstract:
In order to service work stations of either spinning or doubling machines of the type having several service units travelling alongside their work stations, whenever an inspection of a given service unit becomes necessary, the given service unit to be inspected is brought from an operative condition into an inspection position. Such position is crosswise to the usual operative direction of travel of the service unit, and its side to be inspected (and which is otherwise turned towards the machine) is preferably thereby rendered accessible. Also, its normal work path is opened to use by another service unit. Such other service unit then travels into the opened work path and takes over the task of servicing the work station or stations in the assigned operative work area of the given service unit being inspected until same is brought back from its inspection position into its work path upon completion of the inspection, and again assumes the task of servicing work stations of its assigned work area. For such purposes, in one exemplary embodiment, a section of running rail on which the service unit operates can be moved crosswise to the longitudinal direction of such running rail. During inspection of a given service unit, the remaining service units are prompted by a control device to service those spinning stations which would normally have been serviced by the given service unit which has been brought into its inspection position.
