Abstract:
An apparatus for uniformly subjecting a flow-traversable heatable material, in particular a stack of plates, rods, tubes, pipes, or the like, to a fluid flow comprises a radial-flow fan which serves as flow drive and which is disposed above the plane of flaps which depending on the desired flow direction can be respectively opened or closed. The radial-flow fan comprises a spiral housing discharging on at least two sides, and the volume flow emerging from the discharge openings of said spiral housing is supplied alternately from the one side or from the other side to the heatable material simply by actuating the flaps.
Abstract:
A mechanism for pneumatically purging undesirable fiber fluff and dust from a spindle assembly of a two-for-one twister textile thread processing machine created during thread processing and particularly in the area of a rotating thread balloon and being characterized by utilizing air flow created by operation of the spindle assembly in processing thread without disturbing the rotating thread balloon is provided. The purging mechanism includes a housing jacket axially mounted on one end of a balloon limitor device and having a generally curved inner wall spaced from the axis of the spindle assembly rotor mechanism and the carrier mechanism a greater distance than the inner wall of the balloon limitor and a lateral opening on one side thereof, and a duct connected to the lateral opening and adapted to lead to a collecting container. With this arrangement, the purging mechanism acts in flow-technology respects with the balloon limitor and centrifugal forces and air flow created by the rotating thread balloon and spindle mechanisms as a surge diffuser for purging undesirable fiber fluff and dust.
Abstract:
An artificial heart valve consists basically of a valve ring and a valve flap in the form of a disc which is pivotally mounted eccentrically in the valve ring, the external circumferential surface of the valve flap cooperating with the internal contour of the valve ring to form a sealing line extending round the circumference of the valve flap. Manufacture of the heart valve can be substantially simplified if the valve ring is obtained by a slightly oblique cut through a hollow cylinder and the valve flap by an oblique cut made at a slightly larger angle through a solid circular cylinder which constitutes the core of the hollow cylinder.

Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus for the preferable two-dimensional arching of glass sheets heated to the softening temperature comprising a following cooling section, the horizontal guiding of the glass sheets taking place on a plurality of movable transport rods and rollers which form a horizontal surface. The transport rods are provided in two groups which project outwardly from a respective mounting at the two lateral edges of the roller hearth furnace into the roller hearth furnace surface; the two groups of the transport rods are pivotal by a pivot movement via their respective mountings downwardly between linear forming elements, in particular forming rods, the joint upper tangential surface of which corresponds to the contour of the lower side of the arched glass sheet. Alternatively, at least one edge region of some transport rods may be pivoted upwardly to arch glass sheets or panes having one or two bends, for example bus windows or display case panes.
Abstract:
Apparatus is described for subdividing a single stream of powder products entrained in a gas into a plurality of secondary streams. The apparatus comprises an array of identical ducts (33, 47) distributed over the lateral surface of a cone (34, 43) having a circular section, said ducts converging in the vicinity of the apex (35, 44) of the cone to constitute a single intake (36, 41) directed along the axis of the cone and connected to a primary intake pipe (11), said ducts being oriented along the generatrices of the cone and ending at its base in a multiplicity of orifices each connected to a secondary conduit (31) carrying one of the secondary streams.
Abstract:
An apparatus for mixing a gas main flow with at least one gas subflow comprises a round inlet region which tapers in the flow direction and over the periphery of which influx openings are distributed for the gas subflow. From these influx openings the gas subflow emerges with a tangential direction component, giving a good mixing with the gas main flow.
Abstract:
Straight advance bars in the shaping region are moved plumb downward between the upper advance position and the lower shaping position for the purpose of curving glass sheets heated to the softening point; a pressing means is deposited in time-relation to this motion on the top side of the glass sheet and together with the advance bars is displaced downwardly; when in the shaping position, the glass sheet rests on stationary forming bars curving plumb downwardly and of which the shape is fitted to the desired curvature of the glass sheet. The shaping region is followed by a tempering zone wherein the curved glass sheets are cooled by gas-blowing without their surfaces being affected thereby.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for guiding bands in a suspended manner and for stabilizing bands, preferably wide metal bands, for the purpose of heat treating the same. In the device, the band is blown on both sides with the aid of suspended nozzle sections, and two respective radial ventilators with 360° spiral casings are arranged on the side walls of the device in the vicinity of both sides of the band. The intake openings of the radial ventilators point toward the middle of the device. The axes of the radial ventilators are vertical in relation to the side walls, and the radial ventilators are arranged in such a way that they deliver air into air delivery channels (6) of the length of at least one hydraulic diameter in a manner parallel to the longitudinal direction of the device, that is, in a direction of movement of the band. The air delivery channels (6) are adjacent to the upper casing (8) or the lower casing of the device via a side wall. Elbows are respectively connected to the air delivery channels (6). The volume stream delivered from said elbows by the radial ventilator enters a collecting receptacle which extends as at least one piece over the entire length of the device and which is provided with the nozzle section on the side facing the band, said nozzle field being approximately equal in width to that of the collecting receptacle. The gas stream blown on the band predominantly flows away and up to the longitudinal sides of the device and enters from the sides of the device into the suction area between the radial ventilators above and below the band (1).
Abstract:
Wind tunnel having a free jet test section for simulating wind direction fluctuations, principally for the investigation of vehicles, equipped with a nozzle which can be rotated when the wind tunnel is operating, in order to alter the wind flow direction, in which arrangement the nozzle comprises a stationary part and a rotatable front part and the nozzle front part is surrounded by a cylinder surface which is sealed off in the manner of a plug in the end wall of the nozzle prechamber in relation to the test chamber; within the nozzle prechamber, which surrounds the nozzle, a compensating flow can take place upon rotation of the nozzle front part, so that the quality of the jet flow of the wind tunnel is, if at all, only barely noticeably impaired by the rotational movement. In order to investigate flow-acoustic problems with a varying wind direction, the wind tunnel can be equipped with sound deadening and sound attenuating devices as well as an absorbing lining.
