  • Patent number: 6122814
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing a ring that has at least one cylindrical end section that ends in a chamfer is disclosed. The process entails providing a flat-shaped article which is formed of a material capable of being deep-drawn. The flat-shaped article is stamped to provide indentations which correspond to the chamfer in the finished product. The flat-shaped article is then punched out to form a preform. The preform is then deep drawn, converting the preform into the shape of the ring. In the step of deep drawing the preform, the indentations form a chamfered section on the ring.

  • Patent number: 6105970
    Abstract: A sealing arrangement for establishing a seal between two machine elements, such as a rod or piston undergoing axial motion within a housing. A rod or piston seal is arranged in a groove of the second machine element, which typically is the housing of the rod or piston. The groove is open in the direction of the first machine element, and contains a seal ring and a prestress ring made of elastomeric material. The seal ring has an essentially T-shaped cross-section and touches the surface of the first machine element which is to be sealed with the sealing surface of its radial ridge, forming a seal. The prestress ring is arranged between the base of the groove and the axial ridge of the seal ring, under elastic prestress. The transition from the faces of the radial ridge to the sealing surface is rounded.

  • Patent number: 6087279
    Abstract: A textile surface-area material used for cleaning, having a non-woven material and structures raised over the non-woven material. The structures are on both sides of the surface-area material. The structures can be full-surface or partial surfaces, and the base non-woven material can have structures, staggered on both sides, formed by structure needling. Spacings can be maintained between the structures which corresponds at least to a dimension of the structure on the opposite side. The non-woven can have at least two layers, laminated together, of a non-woven material provided on one side with structures.

  • Patent number: 6068247
    Abstract: A hydraulic sleeve having at least two liquid-filled working chambers. These chambers are in flow communication with one another through a damping channel. The hydraulic sleeve comprises an inner supporting body surrounded by an outer supporting body. A radial clearance is maintained between the inner and outer supporting bodies. An elastic spring element of elastomeric material is arranged in the gap formed by the radial clearance, and at least one separately produced insertion part is arranged in at least one of the working chambers. The elastic spring element has an essentially triangular cross-section and bounds the first working chamber. The insertion part is arranged within the triangularly bounded, first working chamber, has an essentially .OMEGA.-shaped cross-section, and divides the first working chamber into three sectional chambers. The sectional chambers are in flow communication with one another through two throttle orifices that are bounded by the elastic spring element and the insertion part.

  • Patent number: 6062571
    Abstract: A radial shaft sealing ring has at least one dynamically stressed first seal and at least one statically stressed second seal. The first and second seals are connected to a support ring having a centering seat that is placeable into a housing bore. The support ring has an axial projection which at least partially covers the second seal so as to limit its elastic deformation, and may further contact a housing to be sealed.

  • Patent number: 6053719
    Abstract: The apparatus for manufacturing the nonwoven fabric contains at least one, and may contain up to forty or more, spinneret devices, such as rectangular spinneret plates or round spinneret disks. The spinneret devices may be arranged in rows or in staggered arrangement above a linearly moving collector belt. Spinning orifices on the spinneret devices are respectively dedicated to producing a monofilament or a bicomponent filament from a melt and, viewed in the direction of motion of the collector belt, are arranged with respect to one another so as to correspond in their totality to the cross sectional structure of different filament types in the nonwoven fabric.
