This device is for the purpose of taking the place of sinkers, planes, and trigger equipment, and it consists primarily of a cylinder, having an air pocket on one side and an oppositely opposed pocket therein contains lead. The device includes a plurality of spaced-apart and elongated openings for receiving an eyelet, which is attached to the fishing line, and a leader is attached to the eyelet for holding the bait or lure.

A system for guiding a tool according to a predetermined direction includes a detector head which photoelectrically scans a line of the pattern with the line varying in width at predetermined locations and with the output signals of the scanning photoreceptors being conductable to a switching device having an adjustable switching threshold so that when the scanning is in the area of the altered line width an auxiliary signal is formed in addition to the control signal for the coordinate motors.

A line guiding assembly is provided having lines that are held together by a common line bundling apparatus. The line bundling apparatus has disposed on its outside a sliding apparatus which acts in the longitudinal direction of the lines. The sliding apparatus prevents friction between an upper length portion and a lower length portion of a line assembly.

Printed products are guided from an infeed to a delivery belt by a plurality of partially overlapping paddle blades. The paddle blades are secured to an endless carrier such as a chain or a toothed belt. The printed products are deposited on the delivery belt in a smooth, gentle manner as they slip out of the pockets defined by the adjacent overlapping paddles.

The present invention relates to the field of illumination engineering, particularly to structural elements of lighting devices, and may be used in luminaires, searchlights, lanterns with a directed light and dynamic beam movement, in controlled scanning devices. The invention makes it possible to transmit a focused light beam and to control thereof by the fact that in a light guiding apparatus comprising a bundle of fiber light guides fastened together at an input end face which is mounted to r...

A sheet-guiding suction box can be adapted to the size or format of a plurality of sizes of sheets to be guided. This is accomplished by structuring the guide box with a plurality of independently acting suction chambers. A central suction area of the guide surface of the suction box is smaller in size than the smallest format of a sheet to be guided.

In an apparatus for guiding a medical probe into body cavities, a handle housing is provided consisting of inner, upper and lower modules. The inner module comprises a rinsing liquid supply and suctioning hose assembly, which can be removed and discarded after use. The lower housing part includes probe support and guide structures and the upper housing part includes operating slide members engaging the hoses of the hose assembly for controlling the flow through the hoses. It also includes means ...
