A metallic packing is used to seal a connection between steam pipes. The metallic packing has an annular basement. This annular basement has an opening that joins the holes of the steam pipes. Two annular lips project from an inner circumference of the annular basement towards a central axis of the opening. Each annular lip steps away form the other lip, and the distance between free ends of the lips is longer than the width of the annular basement along the direction of the central axis.

A method of working metal in which molten metal particles are ejected from, for example, a welding electrode or from a metal workpiece being cut or drilled. The ejected molten metal particles are caused to pass through a contact region in which they make contact with a cryogen, for example, liquid nitrogen or solid carbon dioxide. The contact renders the particles non-adherent to any adjacent surface to which the particles would otherwise adhere. Alternatively, the adjacent surface may be cooled...

A sheet of expanded metal produced by slitting a sheet of metal, and stretching along a stretching direction, which sheet of expanded metal forms a grid of openings having a first repetition length in the stretching direction and a second repetition length in the direction perpendicular to the stretching direction, wherein the first and second repetition lengths are substantially equal. A sheet of expanded metal having a stretching angle larger than 90 degrees. Use of a sheet of expanded metal a...

A packaging comprising a first and second outer part of metallic material, an inner part of non-metallic material made in one piece and comprising a first and second opposed side between which an element can be stored and a hinging part forming at least one hinge connecting said sides and allowing the sides to be rotated relative to each other within an angle so as to open the packaging and adapting the packaging and adapting the packaging for packing in an automated packing machine. At least a ...

A metal belt includes a metal ring assembly formed from a plurality of layered endless metal rings, and a large number of metal elements supported on the metal ring assembly, the metal belt assembly being wound around a pulley and transmitting a driving force. The clearance between adjacent metal rings is set to be in a range from negative to positive from the innermost ring to a middle ring and to be only positive from the middle ring to the outermost ring. Therefore, good lubricating condition...

A metal vent having an aperture for the passage of a fluid, a porous membrane sealing the aperture, wherein the components of the vent are assembled by an interference fit.

A metal gasket for sealing multiple cylinder bores includes one or more metal substrates, main sealing beads around each of the cylinder bores, and one or more sub-beads. The main sealing beads include meandering portions located in a sealing portion between the cylinder bores, and the sub-bead is provided between the meandering portions. By placing the sub-bead between the main bead meandering portions, the base portion of the meandering portion and the base portion of the sub-bead squeeze each...

A substantially hollow body metal wood golf club head has a wrap around insert that comprises a substantial portion of the front face. The insert having a wing-like extension that extends around the heel portion of the club head and a pre-determined distance of about 0.657 inch into the skirt portion of the club head. A gap of about 0.06 inch to about 0.36 inch is created between an internal thru-hosel and the interior wall of the heel. The gap represents material and weight that may be used mor...

A metal gasket is formed by first and second metal base plates. The first metal base plate has a first main bead, and first outer and inner sub-bead sections formed outside and inside the first main bead and projecting outwardly in a direction opposite to the first main bead. The second metal base plate has a second main bead, and second outer and inner sub-bead sections formed outside and inside the second main bead and projecting outwardly in a direction opposite to the second main bead. A dis...

A metal cap 3 for a container, the metal cap having a knurl part formed on the outer perimeter thereof so as to release outside the inner pressure of the container generated from the content such as carbonated drinks etc., wherein the knurl part comprises plural of knurls 6 having short width slits 6a and plural of knurls 7 having long width slits 7a, and knurls 7 is formed in the mixture with knurls 6.
