Bend resistant and torsion yielding panel members form panel assemblies, with firm yet detachable connection between the panel assemblies in a knock down construction corral. This construction provides straight line relations between edges and members of the adjacent panel assemblies in absence of stress applied thereto and provides a gentle yet firm snubbing action through an elastic yielding of the panel assemblies when impact is applied thereto by an animal penned therein without any pinching...

The arrangement is such that the ratio of the diameter of balls 3 in the ultrathin-walled ball bearing to the pitch circle diameter PCD is not more than 0.03, and that the balls 3 are arranged in a single row and in two-point contact with the raceway surfaces 1a and 2a of the outer and inner members 1 and 2. The inner member 2 is composed of first and second raceway rim members 21 and 22 opposed to each other with an axial clearance S defined therebetween, and the internal clearances of the bear...

A liquid container for a comestible product such as milk or juice includes a base having a substantially planar region, a top surface having a substantially planar region parallel to the substantially planar region of the base and having a pour spout. A sidewall is integrally formed with and extends between the base and top surface, and includes a structural load distributing feature that transfers loads from the top surface to the base. A handle is interposed between the base and top surface an...

Two embodiments of insulated pipework system are described. The first comprises an outer sleeve, an inner flow pipe and insulating material within the space therebetween and is characterised by the use of a longitudinally compressed elastomeric member in the space between the inner and outer pipes as the primary means for transferring longitudinal forces between the inner and outer pipes. The second comprises an outer sleeve pipe, an inner flow pipe, an insulating material within the space there...

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for handling liquids or gases. In particular, the present invention relates to a double walled apparatus having interwoven fibers between the inner and outer walls of the pipe. The invention may also include sensors in the apparatus. The apparatus comprises a first wall designed to contain a liquid or a gas, a second wall designed to contain any liquid or gas that penetrates the first wall, and interwoven fibers coupled between the first a...

A double-walled beverage container assembly comprising an outer shell and a handle and an inner cup assembled in a tight-fitting compression fit.

A bottle with thermally shielded body, comprising a first component which forms a tubular internal body having a closed bottom, an upper neck with an opening for filling and pouring a beverage, and, between the body and the neck, an annular region for coupling to the upper edge of a second component which is coaxial to the first one and forms an external tubular body which has a closed bottom and forms an interspace together with the tubular body of the first component.

A deformed pipe having a deformed cross-sectional shape is press-fitted in a round hollow pipe having a circular cross-sectional shape. The deformed pipe has a plurality of radially outwardly projecting ridges having respective outermost vertexes held in contact with an inner circumferential surface of the round hollow pipe. The round hollow pipe and the deformed pipe are arc-welded to each other at axially spaced locations.

The designing of an annular integral type is established by forming a cage of a resin material that satisfies the condition (a) that the ratio of its linear expansion coefficient to that of bearing steel is not more than 2 or the condition (b) that its water absorption percentage is not more than 0.5%, or both conditions (a) and (b), thereby preventing the occurrence of abnormal sounds by stabilizing the behavior of a segment type cage for an ultrathin-walled rolling bearing.

A thin walled body is deformed in a process in which the body is gripped securely in a holding station and, whilst gripped in the holding station, tooling engages to deform the peripheral wall of the body at a predetermined wall zone. The tooling is provided at a tooling station which is adjacent the holding station during deformation. The predetermined wall zone is co-aligned with the tooling by rotation of the body about an axis prior to securing at the holding station.
