  • Publication number: 20060038401
    Abstract: A coupling for vacuum-insulated pipe or hose lines provided for conducting one or more cryogenic media, in which a single- or multi-core coupler plug and corresponding coupler socket each have a ball valve provided with a through hole and a locking sleeve coupled to rotate its respective ball valve when the sleeve is axially displaced. When the coupler plug and coupler socket are brought together, the locking sleeves engage and are displaced axially, such that the ball valves are moved into open positions in which a conduit of the coupler plug may be extended through the coupler plug ball valve into the coupler socket. Such a coupler allows a docking procedure to be reliably performed in all radial angular positions between the plug side and socket side, without need for skilled operators, position sensor technology or a precision refueling robot.

  • Patent number: 5447177
    Abstract: A connecting coupling (K) or separating device for conduits or for detachable conduit connection of, in particular, pressure-conducting fluid conduits (I, II), having a first coupling part (I) and a second coupling part (II), a closed fluid flow path being present in coupled state, in which connection further radial conduit sections of a coupling connection conduit and of a coupling part have mouth cross sections which can be brought into coincidence and, in the course of the coupling process, a coupling closure in each coupling part (I, II) can be opened and the mouth cross sections both of the coupling connection conduit and of the radial conduit section of the coupling part can be closed by displacement, the displacement at the same time bringing about the valve closure of the first and second coupling parts (I, II).

  • Patent number: 5251668
    Abstract: A coupling which can be used in fueling lines (L1, L2) or the like, the coupling having a closure device which blocks the flow path of the fluid and are brought automatically into closed position as a function of a sensor-recorded displacement of the feed line with respect to the discharge line; in order to achieve a functionally optimized solution, the coupling is developed as rapid-closure coupling (K) having an ejector ram (41) acted on by pressure fluid as a result of the action of a sensor, for the separation of the two coupling halves (I, II) which have previously been brought individually into the closed position (closing of the shut-off valves V1, V2), also due to the action of a sensor.

  • Patent number: 4958776
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a centrifugal-force vibratory grinding machine having a container (3) which receives filling material consisting of workpieces and work bodies and the bottom (4) of which rotates relative to the container wall (5) around the axis of the container and leaves a separating gap (7) towards the container wall (5), and it proposes, in order to reduce the wear within the region of the separating gap (7), that at least one discharge element (A) is provided for the removal of particles of filling material which have penetrated into the space of the gap, which element engages into the space of the gap and rotates with the bottom (4) and/or is stationary with respect to the container wall (5).

  • Patent number: 4620394
    Abstract: An apparatus for slide grinding has a slide-grinding container which is movable upwardly from a slide-grinding position thereof around a horizontal tilt axis into an emptying position thereof above a screen which is adapted to be placed in vibration and is arranged in an upper region of a collection container which is tiltable into an emptying position above the slide-grinding container. A collection chamber of the collection container below the screen has a first chute which terminates above the slide-grinding container in the emptying position of the collection chamber. The chute defines an emptying opening for returning abrasive bodies which have fallen through the screen into the slide-grinding container. The slide-grinding container and the collection container are individually tiltable and the screen is developed as a screen chute which vibrates relative to the collection container.

  • Patent number: 4568110
    Abstract: A multiple coupling with plate-shaped coupling halves in which the fluid-conducting spigot and hub parts of the individual couplings are fastened. The coupling halves are held pin-centered with respect to each other and detachably to each other in coupling position by a locking-ball interlock such that a plug projection of one coupling half enters into a socket opening of the other coupling half. The plug projection is held in the socket opening by locking balls which can be released by displacement of an interlock sleeve into the open position. The plug projection which is arranged approximately concentrically to the one coupling half is provided at its end with a grip of smaller cross section for a pull member developed preferably in the form of a rope, which passes through the socket opening.

  • Patent number: 4498986
    Abstract: A vibratory container for flocculating waste water obtained upon vibratory abrasive finishing or the like, having an outlet and a feed connection which continues into a feed channel which extends into the inside of the container and is arranged in siphon-like manner with respect to the outlet pipe. For improved treatment of even chemically complex working liquids, the inside of the container is subdivided by partition walls into a plurality of chambers arranged one downstream of the other in the direction of flow. Connections are associated with the first two chambers arranged downstream of the feed channel within the initial region of the flow. The connections serve to introduce flocculation preparation chemicals, while a final connection is provided for the addition of the flocculating agent.

  • Patent number: 4428161
    Abstract: A vibrating abrasive container is formed with track-line which lies in a plane running at an acute angle to the horizontal and therefore at an acute angle to the vertical axis of the vibration generator, in such a manner that the uppermost and lowermost points face each other approximately diametrically, thereby causing a spirally circulating processing movement of the contents of the container to take place on the descending section of the container.

  • Patent number: 4295300
    Abstract: Discharge and separating devices of vibratory abrasive containers forming a trough and having a flap for placing into operation a separating path which is coordinated behind the flap, the flap being swingable around the flap shaft axis which is transverse to the container trough and being able to be moved upwardly by means of an actuating device into a maximum upper position. A control lever is operatively connected to the actuating device being pivotally mounted under a portion of flap parallel to the flap shaft, the control lever having a free end formed with a pin. The flap is formed with an elongated slot having an end region, the pin engaging into the slot in the flap and limiting the upward movement of the flap by abutting against the end region of the slot.
