MACHINING DEVICE EQUIPPED
WITH BLADE INSPECTING
MEANS
Takatoshi Ono, Nagareyama, Japan assigned to
Disco Abrasive Systems Ltd
A machining device equipped with a rotating
machining tool having a blade. A blade in-
specting means is provided in the machining
device. The blade inspecting means comprises an
emission means for emitting electromagnetic
radiation and a receiving means for receiving the
electromagnetic radiation emitted by the em-
itting means and producing a signal correspon-
ding to the received electromagnetic radiation.
The emitting means and receiving means are dis-
posed such that the electromagnetic radiation
emitted from the emitting means undergoes
interference by the blade of the machining tool
and the electromagnetic radiation received by
the receiving means varies according to a varia-
tion in the condition of the blade.

HEAT EXCHANGER,
PARTICULARLY FOR SOLAR
COLLECTORS AND METHOD OF
MANUFACTURE THEREFOR
Gerhard Ziemek, Langenhagen, Federal
Republic Of Germany assigned to Kabelmetal
Electro Gesellschaft mit beschrankter Haftung
For a heat exchanger, particularly for solar col-
lectors, a metal plate is continuously
longitudinally welded to a metal tube centrally
between the longitudinal edges of the plate. The
width of the metal plate is greater than the outer
diameter or cross sectional dimension of the tube
and the metal plate is plastically deformed in
deformation areas on both longitudinal sides so
as to increase its surface in these respective areas
between its longitudinal edges and short of the
longitudinal line of welding contact with the
tube. An undeformed region extends in the
longitudinal direction of the tube between the
deformation areas. The plastic deformations are
of dimple shape, and preferably spherical, which
improves the absorption of radiation.

MACHINE FOR WORKING SOIL
HAVING DRIVINGLY
OSCILLATED SOIL-WORKING
TOOL
Carl Ley, Dfederal Republic Of Germana as-
signed to Bucher Guyer A G
A machine for working soil, and arranged to
have a predetermined direction of movement, in-
cludes a soil-working implement adapted to be
driven over the soil, and to execute oscillations in
a direction at an angle to the predetermined
direction, and a soil-leveling tool connected to
the soil-working implement.

ANTI-JAMMING CORE BARRELS
Larry R Fulkerson assigned to Norton
Christensen Inc
An improved anti-jamming mechanism for use
in a coring tool is devised by providing a rotary
jar within the inner barrel of the coring tool. The
inner barrel is connected to a bearing assembly
into which a bearing shaft is axially and con-
centrically disposed. The bearing assembly is
rotatably journaled to the bearing shaft. The
bearing shaft is rotatably and longitudinally
fixed with respect to the outer barrel of the
coring tool. The bearing shaft and bearing as-
sembly are longitudinally displaceable with
respect to each other by Bellville washers. The
bearing assembly also includes a rotary anvil
which is ultimately brought into contact with a
rotary hammer which in turn is fixed with respect
to the outer barrel. An impulsive torsional and
longitudinal force is imparted by the rotary ham-
mer to the rotary anvil through the resilient
coupling between the bearing shaft and bearing
assembly disposed within the inner barrel.

CORRUGATED STRIP TRAY
Bernard J Wallis
A sheet metal tray for retaining corrugated fin
strips for heat exchangers has a plurality of
upright partitions spaced laterally apart to ac-
commodate the corrugated strips. The tray has
