Abstract: To obtain a quality-meat-attached backbone part suitable as a material for minced fish the invention proposes cutting off a fin part and a kidney from a meat-attached backbone part obtained when filleting a fish into three pieces. The meat-attached backbone part is conveyed by a pair of upper and lower conveyor belts while being sandwiched and held between the belts. When the backbone part reaches a fin cutter arranged in a midstream of the conveyance, a belly part is pushed by a first pushing lever while a back part of the meat-attached backbone part is received and stopped by a receiving and stopping lever, and the back skin from a back fin to a tail fin is cut off by the fin cutter. Then, when the meat-attached backbone part reaches a kidney cutter, the belly part of the meat-attached backbone part is pushed by a second pushing lever to position the kidney-attached backbone section of the meat-attached backbone part at a cutting position by a kidney cutter.

Abstract: A fuel injector with an injector body is disclosed which has at least two separate function units that are largely independent of one another. The function units are reversibly joined to one another by a connecting element and at least one positioning pin. The two function units can be produced and tested separately, which greatly simplifies both the production process and maintenance of the fuel injectors and lessens the vulnerability of the fuel injectors to malfunction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coupling for coupling two rotatable bodies, in particular a gear and a drive shaft, which are disposed essentially concentric to each other, with or without axial offset, having a coupling part. In order to reduce the structural height of the coupling, the coupling part is integrated into one of the rotatable bodies. In a fuel-supply pump, the drive shaft is coupled to the driven gear by means of the coupling part.

Abstract: A fuel injection system for multi-cylinder internal combustion engines, which has one injection unit per cylinder. Each injection unit includes one injection valve, one control valve, one flow limiting valve and one injection nozzle and is supplied with fuel via a fuel delivery line. Each injection unit also has a control unit which actuates the applicable control valve. This actuated control valve then actuates the associated injection valve, which in turn opens the fuel delivery line upstream of the injection nozzle. The flow limiting valve disposed upstream of the injection valve in the fuel delivery line blocks fuel flow when the fuel quantity flowing through the flow limiting valve attains a maximum fuel quantity, and the flow limiting valve does not open again until the fuel delivery line is blocked downstream of the flow limiting valve.

Abstract: A fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines, having a valve body member axially displaceable in a bore of the valve body. The valve member has a sealing face with which the sealing face cooperates with a valve seat on the valve body. The valve body has at least one injection opening, which can be uncovered in a course of a valve member opening stroke motion only after a certain idle stroke has been excited and the valve sealing face has lifted from the valve seat. The injection opening is provided in the wall of the valve body and an inlet opening of the injection opening is closable by the valve member.

Abstract: A metering valve for metering a fluid for a fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines, with a hydraulic displacement amplifier for converting the actuating displacement of a piezoelectric actuator into an increased stroke of the valve needle. Integrating the displacement amplifier spatially into the valve housing in an "O valve" to give a small overall volume is served by providing the lifting piston of the displacement amplifier with an end section of reduced diameter which projects into a recess in the operation piston of the displacement amplifier. A Belleville spring lying in the amplifier chamber bounded by the pistons presses the operating piston against the actuator, and a helical compression spring arranged in the recess concentrically to the end section presses the lifting piston against the valve needle.

Abstract: A valve needle suitable for injection valves for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines. The new valve needle includes a tubular actuation part, an armature section and a valve sleeve section and is manufactured by injection moulding and subsequent sintered according to a metal injection moulding method. Subsequently, the actuation part is connected to a valve closing element section by means of a weld connection such that the valve needle is manufactured in a simple and cost-effective manner.

Abstract: A power-assisted brake system which can be activated by a pedal including a travel simulator and a desired value transmitter which is coupled thereto and a second sensor which can be used alternatively as a desired value transmitter. The second desired value transmitter is a pressure transmitter. The signals of both desired value transmitters are monitored in an electronic control unit for essentially corresponding signal values. If there is an unacceptable difference in signal value, power-assisted braking operation is suppressed. Braking is then possible by an emergency brake cylinder. The power-assisted brake system can be used for motor vehicles for passenger transport and goods transport, in motor vehicles which are equipped with an anti-lock brake system (ABS) or with a traction control system (TCS).

Abstract: Bottles are closed with capsules whose free end segment is crimped over the top of the bottles. To avoid abrasion and turbulence, the end segment of the cap is deformed by a simultaneous, uniform upsetting of its entire circumference in a female die. An apparatus for carrying out the invention has a female die that is split into two parts, with cylindrical bores and with a constricting rib on a bottom portion which fits around the neck of the bottles. The rib has a concavely rounded side upon which the end segment of the cap, is thrust against and is deflected toward the bottle. The female die is split into two jaws that can be pivoted toward one another and whose opening and closing motion is coupled to the motion of an axially displacable male dies that displace the capsules in the female die for sealing the capsules onto the bottle.

Abstract: An adsorption filter is linked to the atmosphere by a breather line to prevent condensates from settling in the shut-off valve, as they flow through the breather, so that this valve becomes unable to function. The breather has a vertical arrangement of the shut-off valve with a magnetic circuit arranged above the valve operative parts to ensure that any condensate which forms can flow off, without impairing the function of the shut-off valve (51, 51'). The breather is particularly suitable for internal combustion engines in motor vehicles.

Abstract: An electromagnetically operated injection valve including a fuel filter that has a filter housing on which a return spring is supported and which includes a frame that is pressed into a flow hole so that the force introduced by the return spring onto the fuel filter is guided via the filter housing and the frame pressed into the core. This obviates the need for a setting bushing for setting the spring force. The injection valve is particularly suitable for fuel injection units of mixture compressing spark ignited internal combustion engines.

Abstract: A fuel distributor for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines which has an elongate distributor housing with a plurality of location holes, made at axial intervals, for accomodating in each case one fuel injection valve, and at least one axially extending fuel line, which leads tangentially past the location holes and which communicates with the location holes via openings. Via the openings, the fuel injection valves are surrounded by flowing fuel, this serves for supplying fuel and for cooling the injection valves. To improve the cooling effect, flow restrictors (29) are arranged in the fuel line in association with each location hole, approximately centrally in relation to the opening so that fuel can flow around the fuel injection valves by almost 360.degree..

Abstract: A shock absorber which in an event of an electrical defect provides a predetermined throttle cross section which provides a pressure drop in the throttle cross section that determines damping of fluid flow from one work chamber to another work chamber. Thus, in an event of a defect in a control system, an arbitrarily selectable and preferably approximately average damping is produced.
