The invention relates to a watering head for the drop feed irrigation mainly of orchards with impermeable soil. It consists of two main parts, i.e. the body connected to the watering pipeline, and the replaceable feeder unit mounted on the body. Occasionally the body and the feeder unit are constructed from one piece. The feeder unit is a prism, or body of rotation extending in the longitudinal axis, the interior of which is provided preferably with a spatial spiral polygonal braking duct reduci...

In a magnetic head a single-crystal Mn--Zn ferrite is employed as a core material, and cut-away parts in the vicinities of a gap are filled with a glass the contraction rate of which is lower than that of the ferrite. A principal magnetic circuit-forming plane of the core is brought into agreement with the {1 1 0} plane of the ferrite, while an angle .theta. defined between the <1 0 0> direction within the {1 1 0} plane of the ferrite and a gap forming plane is made 5.degree.-40.degree. or...

A head positioner for radiologic and other medical procedures and a method for forming the head positioner are disclosed. A plastic rear component engages the backside of the patient's head, left and right plastic components engage each auditory meatus of the patient and a front component engages the nasion of the patient. Pressure is applied at the points of engagement and the components are secured to form a unitary headband structure. The headband is capable of repeated and periodic use in po...

A spray head which is characterized by a tubular body with an axial bore divided into axially spaced sections of different diameter with the forward section, which is at the discharge end of the head, being of the largest diameter and constituting a chamber in which a spherical spray tip holder is mounted so as to be rotatably seated on the mating inner face of a removably mounted end cap, which holder has a radial socket aligned with a cross bore in the body for receiving a turning member enabl...

A thermal head of the present invention is composed of a substrate, a resistive heater element formed on the substrate, and electrically conductive members to supply electric power to the resistive heater element, wherein the resistive heater element contains a metal boride as the principal constituent. The thermal head of this construction is capable of selecting its resistivity to a high value and causing a large electric current to flow in the form of short pulses for the purpose of high spee...

Cutter head especially for a canter-chipper or chipper-edger comprising a body mounted on a shaft of rotation and cutting knives fastened on the body. The cutting knives form parallel cutting paths. The cutting knives in the cutting paths next to the log having a cutting width of about 8-25% of the total cutting width of the cutter head are mounted on an easily removable ring facilitating the replacement of these swiftly wearing cutting knives.

A loading head used for pressing grenades or other explosive containers i a projectile has an internal safety switch. The grenades have a transverse safety slider which normally remains in a retracted position but which can fail and extend into an armed position during loading. The loading head has a placing member containing at least one cavity. This cavity is sized to engage the grenade and encircle its slider. Mounted within the cavity is an annular switching device. When the placing member i...

A drill head having a housing enclosed at its lower end by a lower cover and enclosed at its upper end by a drive cap which carries a drill tool chuck. Radial-thrust bearings are located in the upper portion of the housing. A driven bevel gear is located below the radial-thrust bearings. A hollow passageway through the drill tool, chuck, bearings and driven gear is sealed by a face seal located below the driven gear and mounted in part on the lower cover so as to be easily replaced by removal of...

A boring head for use in machining the inner surface of a vertical work piece wall having inner and outer surfaces and a central opening therethrough to produce a flat, plane, discoid surface where a boring machine and a boring bar to which the boring head is to be attached are situated adjacent the outer surface of the vertical work piece wall. The boring bar and work piece are positioned to have the boring bar axis of rotation coincident with the axis of the desired final machined discoid surf...

A recording head for use in a recording apparatus has a plurality of sets of recording electrodes corresponding to a plurality of line densities.
