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.

1. A hingeable pipe clamp for detachably holding or holding together parts, such as rods, pipes, tubes, pipe sections or the like, the pipe clamp having two pipe clamp parts pivotably connected together by a hinge and each having a one-piece strip, the strip forming the half-shell, one or more gudgeons, and the flange of the respective pipe clamp part, a hinge pin being inserted in the gudgeons of the two pipe clamp parts, characterized in that the strip (27; 27') is arranged in a two-ply manner in the region of the flange (23; 23') and the half-shell (24; 24') of the respective pipe clamp part (22; 22'), and in that these two layers (31, 31'; 32, 32') are connected together by at least one single-ply region of the strip (27; 27') curved to form a gudgeon (26; 26').

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.

1. A single-spindle or multi-spindle deep boring machine having a tool change device characterised in that the device (7) is formed by cylindrically arranged receiving tubes (8), wherein along a part of the length of the receiving tubes (8) the cross-section thereof is removed over an angle of somewhat more than 180 degrees, in such a way that for the purposes of receiving a deep boring tool (3, 3') perpendicularly to the axis of the receiving tube (8), wherein the inside diameter thereof is substantially equal to the diameter of the deep boring tool (3, 3'), an open half-shell is formed, from which the deep boring tool can be pushed into the remaining part in the axial direction of the receiving tube (8).
