An apparatus for delivering an article, in which the delivery passage per se must be moved, comprises a pair of delivery belts substantially parallel to each other and supporting members for supporting the delivery belts, a mechanism for turning the paired delivery belts with the ends of the supporting members acting as the centers of turning so that the paired delivery belts are separated from each other from the substantially parallel position.

A delivery bed has a seat part supported on raisable and lowerable side-pieces. A leg-support has side tubes which are journalled for axial movement on forwardly and rearwardly located pairs of support rollers journalled on bolts attached to the side-pieces. Mounted on the side-pieces are guide bars which present along the bottom edge surfaces thereof a plurality of circle-segmental latching recesses intended to co-act with circular latching flanges on the rearwardly located support rollers in s...

A delivery device comprising at least one conveyor belt defining a conveying plane arranged under a fan wheel to receive products from the fan wheel more especially in the form of an overlapping stream. The device has at least one elongated and raised member that is aligned with the direction of delivery and which slopes downwards from a higher level than the conveying plane on the conveying belt in the direction of delivery and at its front end has an edge that adjoins the conveying plane on th...

In a delivery apparatus having a delivery conveyor for receiving and transporting a signature discharged from a printing press, the delivery conveyor is continuously driven if the drive speed of the printing press is higher than a predetermined speed, or the delivery conveyor is intermittently driven if the drive speed of the printing press is lower than the predetermined speed.

This invention concerns a delivery device for the controlled delivery of a multitude of electrical components for assisting in the stuffing of switching PCBs, with the device including a number of elongate magazines each of which can accommodate several bins. The magazines can be moved by means of two continuous sprocket type chain belts which, in each case, are located at the side and are driven via guide sprocket wheels. In this way the bins are moved into the area of a pick up window. In addi...

Prills of pharmaceutically acceptable material are coated first with a water-permeable polymeric matrix containing a water-soluble pharmaceutically beneficial agent and then overcoated with a water-permeable film containing dispersed therein a water-soluble, particulate pore-forming material.

A delivery catheter for introducing living matter into a body passageway or cavity of a female mammal comprises a hollow, flexible, substantially tubular-shaped collection chamber for holding the living matter. An ejection port is formed adjacent to the distal end of the collection chamber and an actuator port is formed at its proximal end. A guide tube having a lumen, is positioned coaxially within the collection chamber with the respective distal and proximal ends of the guide tube and the col...

A delivery valve for controlling fuel flow from a fuel-injection pump to an internal combustion engine and comprising a seat member, a closing member movable relative to the seat member for controlling flow of fuel through the passage channel of the seat member, and a spring for biasing the closing member into engagement with a valve seat on the seat member. The closing member includes a return-flow collar sealingly displaceable in the passage channel and located outside of the passage channel i...

An intraruminal device has hinged wings (6) which lie along the body of the device during administration to the animal but which are urged outwardly by a spring (14) acting on a piston (12) shortly thereafter. The wings (6) are locked in the extended position: the piston (12) prevents them returning to the starting position, and T-bars (10) prevent them continuing to an "arms-over-head" position. The locking means may comprise a latch. The spring (14) may be replaced by a water-swellable polymer...

A variable delivery fluid pump and a variable delivery fluid motor are used to accelerate the spindle of an inertia welding machine to the welding speed, and the pump is then converted to a fixed delivery pump in order to provide a nonfluctuating pressure to power the thrust cylinders for application of the welding pressure.
