Abstract:
THE PRESENT INVENTION RELATES TO AN APPARATUS FOR FORMING COMPOSITE TUBES AND COMPRISING A WINDING MANDREL, A WINDING MECHANISM, AN EXTRUSION HEAD MOVEABLY MOUNTED ON THE FREE END OF THE MANDREL AND POSITIONED
TO EXTRUDE SEALANT INTO THE JOINT OF THE COMPOSITE CONTAINER WOUND ON THE MANDREL OR, IF DESIRED, OVER THE TOTAL INNER SURFACE OF THE WOUND CONTAINER.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of lessening the impact on a solid body, e.g., the body of a diver, when it strikes the surface of water. A localized region of turbulence is created in the water by discharging air under pressure below the surface of the water at such a rate that substantial compressibility is imparted, at least temporarily, to the water in that region and the apparent density and viscosity of the water are reduced. A swimming pool equipped with means for discharging air below the surface of the water and thereby forming a dispersion of air bubbles in the water, is shown.
