The invention concerns a device (1) for manipulating tools comprising two parts, said device being of the type consisting of a frame and at least one tray forming a table, designed to receive the mold. The invention is characterized in that it comprises two horizontally arranged trays (6, 9-7, 8) one of which is arranged sliding on the frame to be mobile in translation relative to the other tray, from a close position to a remote position and inversely, so as to enable the tool to be manually opened and closed.

Disclosed are hand-held scrubbing devices of the type having a replaceable pad. These devices have a handle which is extruded and extremely flexible. The pads are multi-layer and may be pre-impregnated with a cleaner concentrate. A shipping/docking container for use therewith is also disclosed which has the capability of reducing its overall size once the product has reached the consumer.

Machine cleaner product in the form of a water-soluble single- or multi-compartment pouch comprising a limescale removing composition and a water-soluble enveloping material.

1. A bucket excavator (1) having an arm system (6) carrying a work tool (21) preferably formed as a ditcher (20) which has a dipper arm (30) fixed to a pivotable beam (12) and which can be folded generally in a vertical plane to a transport position and is adjustable from this position to an extended position, by means of a pivot drive connected to the beam (12), which engages with a dipper arm connection (15) on the free end of the dipper arm (30), characterised in that a pair (31) of alternately loadable traction cylinders (32, 33) is provided as the pivot drive, of which one serves for extending the dipper arm (30) and by means of a flexible traction means (49) is connected to the free end of the dipper arm (17), whilst the other traction cylinder (32) serves for folding the arm system (6) and is connected by a flexible traction means (38) between the connections (15, 19) of the dipper arm (30) and the work tool (21) to the dipper arm (30), and that both traction means (38, 49) on the beam (6) are guided between the dipper arm connection (15) and the beam connection, in which a rocker arm (53) fixed to the dipper arm (30) in the extended position of the dipper arm (30) turns the traction means (38) of the traction cylinders (32) serving for folding of the arm system (6) and in the folded position of the arm system (6) turns the traction means (49) of the traction cylinder (33) serving for the extension around the axis (16) of the dipper arm connection (15) by means of a curve (55).

The invention relates to a method for coating a substrate with a layer of a material, such as a metal, in which a quantity of electrically conductive material is vaporized in a space with a low background pressure and energy is supplied to the material which is to be vaporized in order to vaporize this material. According to the invention, the material which is to be vaporized, while it is being vaporized, is kept floating, without support, in the space and is enclosed in an alternating electromagnetic field, the alternating electromagnetic field being generated with the aid of a high-frequency alternating current. The invention also relates to a device for coating a substrate and to a substrate.

A manually-actuated device for the deliver of a volume of liquid which includes an outlet through which liquid is in use delivered and a cover member which is movably disposed relative to the housing between a first position in which the cover member at least partly covers the outlet and a second position in which the cover member acts as a lever which in use is acted upon by a user to actuate the delivery device.

The invention relates to a coating agent for spray coating an object with at least one alkylsilane used for creating a hydrophobic and/or oleophobic coating and additives used for facilitating application. The alkylsilane is provided at a concentration of less than 10 percent while the additives comprise a solvent and/or a diluted solvent which is selected at a low viscosity such that the coating agent can be sprayed in droplets having an average diameter of less than 100 µm, preferably less than 50 µm.
