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.

The invention relates to the automated cleaning of paint buckets (2).In a device intended for this purpose the curled mouth rims (6) of the buckets are pushed slidingly one by one into the teeth (22,23) of a lifting fork (21), tilted and positioned in upside down position at the location of a scraping station (12), where paint residues are removed from the inner surface by scraping. A thus cleaned bucket is then transported in upside down position to a flushing station (17) where the last paint residues are removed by flushing and spraying clean. The thus cleaned buckets are finally tilted back to their upright position and stacked onto each other in nested form.

A mixer apparatus for use with a vessel centered about a longitudinal axis is disclosed. The mixer has a tubular blade which: defines a central head axis; has a first end and a second end spaced from the first end along the head axis; and tapers from the first end to the second end. The outer surface of the blade and the second end define an inside blade diameter "ID" and the outer surface of the blade and the first end define an outside blade diameter "OD". The blade is positioned within and coaxial to the vessel. A scotch yoke, operatively connected to the blade by a shaft, effects reciprocating longitudinal movement of the blade through a stroke "S", with a duration "T" for each stroke, wherein 175≲0.36 xOD2/ID2xS/T≲ 250 when OD, ID and S are expressed in inches, and T is expressed in minutes.

The present invention provides a cutting tool assembly having a tool shank with an elongated hole extending axially through the tool shank. An elongated support bar having threaded bore at its forward end is retained in the elongated hole. A cutting head having a forward cutting portion and a rear threaded portion is retained in the support bar with its rear threaded portion threadingly engaged with the threaded bore in the forward end of the support bar.

A device for preparing and ejecting polymeric cement made from at least two pre-packaged components comprises a tubular vessel including a first axial end wall having a closed outlet, and a second axial end wall having an aperture. A first starting component of the polymeric cement is present inside said tubular vessel near the first axial end wall. A hollow shaft extends through said aperture of the second axial end wall. A piston element comprises a closed container filled with a second starting component of the polymeric cement. The piston element is selectively lockable to the shaft. The container has a bore and is slidingly engaged upon said shaft. An agitator element is secured to one end of the shaft. Furthermore opening means for providing an opening in the closed container are provided. The hollow shaft is provided with a gas permeable filter means.

The instrument has a sleeve (2) comprising a metal body or core (3) and a sheath (4) surmounted around the metal body or core. The sheath distorts under the effect of a type of sterilization or disinfection such as sterilization by dry heat, by steam or sterilization with ethylene oxide, currently utilized by a practitioner. The sheath is made of material whose melting point is lower than 90[deg]Celsius.

1. Syringe intended for the ultra-ligamentary injection of liquid products, especially anaesthetic products, of the type composed of a body the forward portion of which, to which the injection needle is fitted, serves as housing for a container of the said liquid product, constituted by a glass tube the rear extremity of which is closed by a plug (7) of rubber or analogous material, while the rear portion of the body serves as guide for a piston (6) actuated by a rack (4), in such manner that when the operator operates the syringe, the piston progresses forward step by step, thrusting the said plug forward into the interior of the container, and consequently the liquid product into the injection needle, the piston (6) being terminated, at its forward extremity, by a head (12, 12') of a diameter substantially equal to the internal diameter of the container (8), characterised in that the head forwardly presents a concavity causing migration of the material of the plug (7) towards the axis in the advance of the piston (6).

An extrusion apparatus having a barrel (3) and a rotatable threaded screw (1) coaxially positioned therein is disclosed. The apparatus includes an upstream inlet section having an opening (13) therein for receiving material to be processed by the apparatus, a compression section (2) downstream of the inlet section, and a mixing or plasticizing section (7/8) downstream of the compression section. The interior surface of the barrel is provided with an undercut (12) therein which intercommunicates the feed opening with the compression section and has a portion thereof which extends downstream in the compression section about the interior surface of the barrel with a continuously decreasing cross-sectional area. The undercut may be formed in a cylindrical insert (9), carried within the barrel and, in an alternate embodiment, a second undercut cylindrical insert positioned about the first insert and rotatable relative thereto may be employed to vary the cross-sectional area of the undercut.
