1. Sealing device of a cover of a support body and a lid supported in the support body for sealing the lid in the wall region of its support and in the wall region of the support of the support body, wherein in these wall regions the lid and the support body lie against one another and are sealed by a soft seal, characterised in that in one part of the adjacently lying wall regions (6, 7) of the lid (1) and of the support body (2) a recess (10) is arranged which extends annularly along the wall regions and is filled with a flowable sealing composition as well as being connected with two openings (11, 12) arranged at a distance from one another and debouching on the outer side of the lid or of the support body.

The machine for sealing blister packs or tubs of dairy product has a heated sealing head (5) mounted on bolts (8) which are biased towards the head by springs (9) with a bearing plate (7) fitted over them. A tilting adjuster plate (6) allows the distance between the bearing plate and sealing head to be varied.

The invention relates to the use of a composition comprising a chlorinated polyester resin in which the polyester satisfies formula (I) below: together with a crosslinking catalyst and a crosslinking accelerator in order to plug a crack affecting the wall of a metal device intended to contain a radioactive acid material. It is especially applicable in the maintenance of metal equipment of nuclear installations, in particular equipment that is for irradiated nuclear fuel reprocessing.

The invention relates to a plastic pipe (1) comprising at least one connecting point (2) for connection to another plastic pipe (3) or to another connecting piece, wherein the connecting point (2) has a sealing area. A reinforcement (5) is applied to the connecting point (2) in the sealing area and substantially or completely prevents the plastic of the connecting point (2) from creeping in the sealing area. The invention also relates to a method and devices for producing a corresponding plastic pipe.

The invention relates to superficial molding on glass sheets, by injection molding of plastic material. According to the invention, a glass sheet 1 is inserted in a mold comprised of two plates and which define a generally planar junction surface wherewith one part of the mold, which part is delimited by a hermetic seal, is evacuated, which enables the central part of the glass sheet to be held in place, and according to a feature of the invention, the superficial molding is delimited by a molding seal which is capable of accommodating variations in the shape of the glass sheet and which can withstand the pressure associated with the injection molding of the plastic material.

A method for widening a plastic or plastic-metal composite tube (10) involves (a) inserting an expandable smoothing bush (28) between a sizing tool (12) with several disengageable expanding segments (20) and the tube (10) and (b) widening the tube (10) by disengaging the segments (20) inside the bush (28) while preserving the homogeneity of the inside of the tube (10). Independent claims are also included for (1) a tube-sizing tool as above, with (a) several expandable segments (20) in a rotationally-symmetrical arrangement, which can be moved radially between an engaged position for insertion into the tube and a disengaged position for widening the tube and (b) an expandable smoothing bush (28) which can be inserted between (20) (engaged position) and the tube and then removed after widening the tube (2) a fitting for connecting tubes as above, comprising (a) a fitting body with a supporting bush onto which the widened end of a tube can be pushed and (b) an expandable smoothing bush for widening the end of a tube with a sizing tool as above.

A method of preparing for a filling cycle and subsequent casting of molten metal a ladle comprising a casting channel closed by a plugging valve and comprising the steps of: n- opening the valve, n- inserting from the outside a deformable shell (16a) provided with an opening through the open valve (14) inside the casting channel (27) with the opening turned towards the valve and with said shell having a maximum volume not less than that of the casting channel, n- injecting from the outside a refractory substance with fluid behavior through the opening in the shell (16a) to swell it and cause adherence of the walls of the shell to the channel wall (27), and n- closing the valve (14).

Device for the piece-wise or batch-wise refining of pieces of a substrate, in particular a textile substrate, under high pressure with a treatment medium, comprising: a substantially cylindrical pressure vessel ( 1 ), which is provided with a closable feed aperture ( 4 ) for placing the pieces of substrate in the pressure vessel ( 1 ); a pipe system ( 7 ) for feeding a treatment medium to and discharging it from the pressure vessel ( 1 ) under high pressure during treatment. The cylindrical pressure vessel is provided on at least one of the two end faces with an aperture that is closable by a lid ( 2, 3 ), which aperture forms the feed aperture ( 4 ). The device comprises retaining means for keeping the lid ( 2, 3 ) in place in a sealing manner during treatment, and the retaining means comprise a bounding frame ( 10 ) that is circumferentially closed, with two interconnected end pieces ( 11, 12 ) situated at a distance from each other, which end pieces in a closed position can be slid over the pressure vessel ( 1 ) and thereby retain the end faces of the pressure vessel ( 1 ) in the axial direction.

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.

SUMARY Comprises first and second pieces (10, 20) which have end configurations (11, 21) for installation and guide and respective coupling configurations (14, 24) plug-in fit at the ends of a third, tubular piece (30) which defines an intermediate, cylindrical section (31), for attachment of liners (40). The hydraulic device comprises two expansible sleeves (50) situated on the first and second pieces (10, 20) each with a circular cavity (51) connected to a longitudinal duct through the shaft containing a fluid capable of being subjected to pressure to make convex an external, deformable wall (52) of the sleeve. The longitudinal duct comprises first and second sections (12, 22) in the first and second pieces (10, 20) connected, by means of a flexible tube (60) located in the hollow interior of the third piece (30).
