  • Publication number: 20240140612
    Abstract: A gear pump is described with at least two intermeshing gearwheels which are each rotationally fixedly connected to a shaft and separate a suction side from a delivery side. The shafts are mounted in a housing. One of the shafts can be brought into active connection with a drive unit and the other of the shafts can be brought into active connection with a pressure-control device which is to be driven by the drive unit via the two shafts. Furthermore, a drive device with the gear pump is proposed for setting an angle of attack of propeller blades of an adjustable-pitch propeller. In addition, an adjustable-pitch propeller having the drive device is described.

  • Patent number: 11698127
    Abstract: A planetary gearbox includes a planet carrier, with a planetary gear rotatably disposed on the planet carrier, and a gear that meshes with the planetary gear, as well as a gas turbine engine having such a planetary gearbox. The planet carrier has an oil supply installation including a supply line for oil to an opening. The oil is directed out of the opening in the direction of the planetary gear and/or the gear. The oil supply installation in relation to a primary rotating direction of the planetary gear and/or the gear in front of the opening includes a shielding region which protrudes from an external side of the oil supply installation and which by way of the external side of the oil supply installation on a side that faces the primary rotating direction of the planetary gear and/or the gear, delimits an oil collection groove.

  • Patent number: 11147370
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rack comprising at least one longitudinal profile, which can be vertically aligned, to which retaining means can be attached, into which trays, cabinet elements or other shelf elements can be inserted, which retaining means are held in clamping fashion via clamping jaws on the longitudinal profile. The clamping jaws are attached to a first plate-shaped based body and to a second plate-shaped base body, which are arranged lying one atop the other and can be moved against each other, guided by guiding means, and as a result the clamping jaws can be tensioned against lateral surfaces of the longitudinal profile. A rotation axle of an eccentric for moving the clamping jaws is rotatably mounted in the first plate-shaped base body and the eccentric body protrudes into a recess of the second plate-shaped base body. A simply designed retaining means is thus obtained which can be easily clamped on the longitudinal profile.

  • Patent number: 10646039
    Abstract: A storage compartment is formed from a blank made of sheet metal and comprises a base part and edge regions surrounding the base part, which edge regions are bent upwards by about 90° with respect to the base part. The upwardly bent edge regions are equipped with receiving and holding means, in each of which a plate-shaped element is insertable and is held. One each of a first edge region and a second edge region form a first side surface and a second side surface. The first side surface serves as a supporting surface for the plate-shaped element. The second side surface covers the frontal surface of the plate-shaped element. Furthermore, a projecting element is provided in the second side surface. The plate-shaped element is held between the supporting surface and the projecting element.
