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 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.

A bulk material processing apparatus (10) which comprises: a longitudinally extending main frame (11); a supply conveyor (23) mounted on, and extending lengthwise of the main frame (11), and operative to convey a supply of bulk material from a forward lower end of the conveyor to an upper and rearward discharge end (24); a material processing device (13) mounted on the main frame (11) and arranged to receive material from the discharge end (24) of the supply conveyor (23), to process the material, and to discharge processed material; a discharge conveyor (32) mounted on the main frame (11) below the processing device (16) so as to be able to receive processed material discharged by the processing device, and to discharge the material to a discharge point located rearwardly of the apparatus; means (16, 17, 18) mounting the processing device (13) on the main frame (11) for movement between a raised operating position to a lowered transport position; and, means (34) mounting the discharge conveyor (32) on the main frame (11) for movement between a raised operative position and a lowered inoperative position; in which the discharge conveyor (32) has a first part (32a) which is mounted on the main frame, and a second part (32b) which is adjustable between an operative position in which it forms a prolongation of the first part, and a folded transport position in which it extends below the first part.

The device has a measuring tape (4) attached by clamping to a concave surface (3) of a carrier body (1). The extent of the concave surface is defined by detent surfaces (6,7) on each end of the measuring tape. At least one of the detent surfaces is adjustable using an adjusting device (9), so that the spacing of the detent surfaces can be matched to the length of the measuring tape.

Device and method for mounting ends of a handle into slits of a package. The device includes guide rails which guide and orient the ends of the handle from a first position to a second position, wherein, in the second position, the ends of the handle are oriented in a direction that is perpendicular to the slits of the package. The method includes moving the handle towards the guide rails, guiding the handle with the guide rails until the handle assumes the second position, and inserting the ends of the handle into the slits of the package. This abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

A method of selective plating a component such as a header (3), wherein the header (3) is mounted in a jig (7), a resilient silicone rubber mask (1) having a stepped plating aperture (2) is press fitted to the cap (4) of the header (3) and a beading (12) of the jig (7) so as to expose only the end face of the cap (4) and the ends of the lead wires (5) of the header (3), the assembly is inverted over a plating tank in a selective plating machine, the end face of the cap (4) and the lead wire ends (5) are selectively plated, for example with gold, and the resilient mask (1) is peeled away from the header (3).

A new apparatus is disclosed that can be assembled quickly and reliably. The apparatus contains a transfer module (40), at least two support modules (20) firmly connected to said transfer module (40) and at least two carrier elements (A,B,C) firmly connected to said transfer module (40) and bearing said transfer module (40). The apparatus is particularly useful for performing multistep analytical processes that require precise access of tools of a transfer tool to items on a working area.

The present invention relates to a mobile joint ( 1 ) with spring resistance, suitable for a sitting device, comprising a first and a second joint element ( 10, 20 ), which are pivotally connected by a shaft ( 3 ), to allow tilting of the sitting device caused by the displacement of the users weight, comprising a first and a second parallel plate spring ( 18, 19 ) with first and second ends, with an intermediate blocking element ( 11 ), wherein each plate spring ( 18, 19 ) in the first end are connected to the first joint element ( 10 ), and in the second end are glidingly abutting the second joint element ( 20 ), the first and second plate spring ( 18, 19 ) each having an axis of rotation that is displaced in relation to each other and the shaft ( 3 ).
