Patent number: 11927052Abstract: Disclosed are a method and device for sealing insulated glass blanks, wherein the insulated glass blank is moved substantially continuously through a sealing station. When sections of the edge joint of the insulated glass blank that are oriented transverse or oblique to the conveying direction are filled with sealing mass exiting from a filling nozzle, the filling nozzle is likewise moved in the conveying direction. When sealing mass is introduced from the filling nozzle into sections of the insulated glass blank that are parallel to the conveying direction, the filling nozzle is not moved in the conveying direction or is moved in the conveying direction at a velocity V2 deviating from the velocity V1 at which the insulated glass blank is moved.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2017Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: LISEC AUSTRIA GMBHInventors: Anton Walser, Leopold Mader, Markus Lininger, Erich Lang, Franz Haselmayr, Mario Eder

Publication number: 20040251434Abstract: In cutting devices (10), in particular microtomes or ultramicrotomes, it is necessary to preset the specimen (14) onto the knife (16). To simplify this presetting operation, which is intended to ensure the quickest and most accurate possible positioning of the knife (16) relative to the specimen (14), a stereomicroscope (12) is provided that can be adjusted in many ways using operating elements (15, 17, 19, 27). To improve the unit's ergonomics and additionally eliminate collisions during pivoting, the unit base (22) of the cutting device (10) is modified. Since the modification of the unit base must result in a lowering, this modification can be achieved by lowering the knife holder (26), the mounting surface for the linear guide being milled directly onto the unit base (22).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2004Publication date: December 16, 2004Applicant: Leica Mikrosysteme GmbHInventors: Michael Zimmermann, Reinhard Lihl, Andreas Hallady, Anton Lang
