It is structured in the form of a bearing sheet made up of a series of profiled plates (1), which run from the ground to the roof, grooved, to form trays with a U-shaped section, which are attached by their central branch to the front edge of the floor slabs and whose side branches (2) serve as supports and spacers for an exterior sheet (7), which forms the exposed face of the front wall, using modular pieces (9) that are mounted on strips (10) suitably attached to the front edge (3) of the trays (1), or panels that are directly secured to those edges if there are no strips. The respective layers (6) of insulation and soundproofing material lie at the bottom of the trays (1), which are still at a considerable distance from the exterior sheet (7), forming a ventilated chamber that also runs from the floor to the roof, while the internal face of the bearing sheet (5) adapts to the insertion of another insulating and soundproofing layer (13), an inner sheet (12), which takes the form of a self-supporting back made up of panels composed of plaster sheets on a galvanised steel structure.

The system is assembled of a suitable number of insulation panels and holding rails (3,11) with specifically shaped intersections. One of the rails (3) forming an intersection has a flat central segment provided with two rectangular extensions (6) opposite each other. A step (14) is located between the flat center and the extensions (6) matching the shape of the outer ends (16) of two rails (11) meeting at the central segment. Slots facilitate the release of moisture.

A floor panel in particular made of laminate having side edges, which are provided with elements of a panel connection for being connected with further panels. In order to form such a floor panel for the installation into a floor heating, a to fixed arrangement of a heating means is formed on a bottom surface, and a heating connection is formed on at least one of the side edges.

A method of manufacturing a composite, prestressed wooden beam (1, 10, 35, 67, 90) comprising the steps of: positioning a plurality of beam parts (2, 16, 68, 69) in contact with one another at least in one direction transverse of the direction of length, bending the beam parts (2, 16, 68, 69) into the desired shape and interconnecting the beam parts (2, 26, 68, 69). The number of beam parts (2, 16, 68, 69) positioned in mutual contact is bent integrally into the desired shape and retained. Subsequently the connection is performed by passing a great number of smooth, substantially cylindrical pins (6, 21, 61, 70, 72) through the beam parts (2, 16, 68, 69) in a direction transverse of the direction of length and subsequently the resultant composite beam (1, 35, 67, 90) is disengaged. Furthermore the invention relates to a device for manufacturing said composite, prestressed wooden beam (1, 10, 35, 67, 90) comprising a stationary, elongate gauge (11, 31). This device comprises a displaceable drilling device (17, 37) comprising a drill holder (26, 51) having a rotary shaft to be positioned transversely of the direction of length of the gauge (11, 31), a displaceable pressing device (22, 40) having a pressing stroke transverse of the direction of length of the gauge (11, 31) and supporting means (12, 24, 32, 91) for supporting the pressing device (22, 40) with respect to the gauge (11, 31).

Finisher comprises a chassis (1), an inlet board (5) hinged via arms (6), a base board (7) and an outlet board (8). The angle of the inlet board can be adjusted via an adjusting cylinder (12). Hydraulic supporting cylinders (21) are arranged between the rear region of the chassis and the outlet board and/or board parts (9) of each side. The cylinders are impinged with an adjustable hydraulic pressure in the direction of the ground when the finisher is started up. Preferred Features: The supporting cylinders are hinged on the chassis on the piston side and on each outlet board and/or the board parts on the piston rod side. The chassis has hooks (20) for a trailer.

A frame structure consisting of two compound units provided with mutually facing grooves undercut on either side, in which the first compound unit can be attached in a desired position to the second compound unit via a detachable coupling which comprises a turning part which can be turned from the outside manually via a handle about its longitudinal axis by about 90 DEG into its coupling or decoupling position, and which in its coupling position positively engages by means of a T-head at its one end in one of the two grooves and by means of anchoring means at its other end in the other of the two grooves and can be locked in this coupling position by means of an anti-rotation device. To connect the two compound units to each other without special tools, but above all to be able also to detach them from each other again, it is proposed according to the invention that the anchoring means comprise a punched part which is arranged longitudinally displaceably in the one groove and bears the turning part which is freely rotatable relative to it and that the handle comprise a resilient element connected securely against rotation to the turning part, which element in decoupling position extends in relieved state or under only slight stress between the two compound units and in coupling position engages under bending stress behind a holder.

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.

A flat display device including a display region disposed between a substrate and a sealing substrate that are coupled together by a sealing member, an electrical element that is electrically coupled with the display region, and at least one reinforcing member that increases the strength of a region where it is located. The reinforcing member is mounted at at least one side of the electrical element.
