Abstract

The present invention pertains to the field of the arms industry and metallurgy, and also to the fields of materials engineering and chemical engineering. More specifically, the present invention refers to a novel ammunition cartridge comprising reinforced polymer and the manufacturing process thereof. The ammunition cartridge serves for receiving the gunpowder so that explosions can occur inside the weapon barrel. The technology proposed reduces the quantity of components to be pre-manufactured and assembly processes on the product, producing a full cartridge, directly upon injecting the thermoplastic, and can also use bi-component injection. With this, the portion of the collar ring can be made entirely of fiber-reinforced polymer material, which reduces the weight of the item and is beneficial for the useful life of the weapon in the bolt region.

The present invention pertains to the field of equipment for work vehicles, specifically to a system for manually actuating vehicle pedals, comprising: an operator interface module (1), a brake and accelerator pedal actuator module (3), a brake and accelerator pedal interface module (4), and a clutch actuator module (5). The system is characterized in that it allows people with motor limitations of the lower limbs to drive the vehicle, the pedals being controlled by means of a joystick (11) interconnected to servomechanisms that actuate the pedals of the vehicle. The present invention also relates to a work vehicle (10) provided with said system for manually actuating pedals.

Abstract

The present invention consists of a method and equipment for converting textile waste into clean fuel gas for generating electricity, housed on a movable platform such as a container. Described are the waste used for conversion into gas, the method and the steps thereof, and the equipment together with its components. Said equipment is made up of six sets of components, including: feeder components, which carry out the controlled feeding of solid waste into the gasification system; air injection components, which are responsible for the controlled injection of air into the reactor and feeder; gas generation components, which are responsible for converting the waste and air into the desired fuel gas under controlled conditions.

Abstract

The present invention relates to recycling technology for synthetic polyester and polyester + polyurethane textile waste, natural cotton textile waste and textile waste having a mixed composition (cotton + polyester + polyurethane) produced during garment manufacturing processes. In this technology, a piece of equipment known as an agglutinator is used to shred the waste, which is then processed in a thermokinetic blender to produce polymer pellets, and the synthetic textile waste is then used as raw material in thermoplastic injection-moulding processes, and the natural textile waste and textile waste of mixed composition are used as reinforcing fillers for extruded thermoplastic composites with a polyolefin-based matrix. These thermoplastic composites are also used as raw material for injection-moulding.

Abstract

The present invention relates to recycling technology of polyester textile waste produced during the manufacture of garments. The technology uses a piece of equipment called an agglutinator to shred the waste, which is then processed in a thermokinetic mixer to produce polymer pellets used as raw material in the process of extruding and forming recycled yarn. The yarn is formed by the melt spinning process, in which the extruded continuous filament is cooled, stretched and cooled to form yarn, thus returning to the production chain and adding value to the textile scraps that are normally discarded in sanitary landfills, generating tons of waste that pollute the environment.

Abstract

The invention relates to an ammunition cartridge (17) formed by a polymeric body (1) provided with a fastening ring (2) and a head (3) with a crown (4), both made of a metallic material, attached to the polymeric body (1) by a fastening device (15) and a press (6), such that when the cartridge is complete it can withstand mechanical stresses due to phenomena occurring at the moment of the shot. Another object of the invention is a method for manufacturing an ammunition cartridge based on metal alloy solubilising and ageing processes so as to achieve both the workability and mechanical resistance required for the head of the cartridge.
