Process for guiding a web from one treatment station to another in a web manufacturing or treatment process. The process includes guiding the web with at least one pneumatic support device and controlling air pressure in the at least one pneumatic support device via a microprocessor. The air pressure is related to at least one quality factor of the web.

An air guiding device for a vehicle sliding roof is arranged on a draft deflector and comprises essentially a holding section as well as an adjoining wing which protrudes to the outside in an operative position and is bent in an inoperative position. The holding section of the air guiding element is clampingly held in a transverse slot of the draft deflector.

The present invention relates to an improved shock absorber with guiding system for, for example, racing and Formula cars and such, due to which larger horizontal bend powers F can be taken without considerable wear and further problems, in which the shock absorber consists of a telescopic first or upper tube (15) and second or bottom tube (16) with a damping, for oil bored piston (17), in which the sliding into each other of the mentioned tube parts is executed by means of roller bearings (22, ...

A radiator includes a heat transfer base (30), a heat dissipation member (20) secured to the heat transfer base and a fan (50) mounted to the heat dissipation member. The heat dissipation member comprises a plurality of fins (22) for dissipation heat. Air guide structures are formed between the fins for guiding air from the fan to a middle portion of the heat transfer base and a middle bottom portion of the heat dissipation member in order to enhance heat dissipating efficiency of the radiator.

A method of guiding a vehicle to a position is provided. Light sources arranged in an array are placed at a position with the light sources defining a primary field-of-view (FOV) from which all of the light sources are visible. Less than all of the light sources are visible from positions outside of the primary FOV. The light sources are divided into sections with each section having a portion of the light sources associated therewith. The light sources are operated in accordance with cyclical o...

A nail guiding and driving tool includes a substantially elongated tool body defining a hammer contacting surface and a longitudinally opposed nail contacting surface. The tool also includes a guiding sleeve slidably mounted relative to the tool body adjacent a distal end thereof. The sleeve channel defines a nail head receiving section extending inwardly from a sleeve distal end for receiving the nail head. The guiding sleeve is movable relative to the tool body between a sleeve extended config...

A distribution switch for sorting and guiding parts, particularly workpieces made of plastic, includes rods which are movable axially parallel to one another. The rods define paths which guide the parts in question into at least two different receiving elements while either forming a slope or leaving an opening in the center, depending on a predeterminable position of the rods. The rods correspond with guide elements through which they are movable substantially horizontally, in that drive units ...

A device for guiding a continuous strip past a marking unit, which is arranged to non-mechanically provide markings on at least one strip surface, includes a longitudinal channel for receiving the strip. The channel is at least partly defined by guiding elements that are arranged for abutment against the strip from opposite sides of the channel. At least one of the guiding elements is displaceable and biased towards the channel. In this device, the strip can be positioned with high-precision wit...

A self-guiding wind turbine made of two reinforced parallel girders whose side center of thrust is displaced from the column axis where it is supported and turns. Its dihedral-shaped two-bladed rotor is self-stabilizing since its center of thrust is behind its center of gravity and the guiding axis of the turbine, thus improving self-guiding whilst in motion. The axial thrust is controlled, whilst the head and rotor are tilting, hydraulically by counter-pressure, ensuring they do not surpass the...

A mobile living quarters includes a retractable or slide out room mounted for movement from a retracted position retracted within the main living area to an extending position providing auxiliary living area connected to the main living area. A scissors linkage is connected between the main frame and the retractable room for guiding the retractable room during extension and retraction and also equalizing forces on opposite sides of the retractable room to prevent binding. The scissors linkage in...
