Patent number: 6925794Abstract: A chain, a chain wheel and a chain transmission for a lifting gear in accordance with the present invention increases the dynamic resistance of a round steel chain that is primarily intended for use in combination with a lifting gear. The chain members (5, 6) are locally deformed plastically in the area of their braces (9, 10) so as to form flat lateral zones (11).Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2001Date of Patent: August 9, 2005Assignee: RUD Kettenfabrik Reiger & Dietz GmbH u. Co.Inventors: Hans Dalferth, Rolf Sinz

Patent number: 6220011Abstract: In the case of a connecting chain link for link chains having two connecting-link parts (1, 2) which can be displaced by limited amounts in the longitudinal direction of the connecting link, in order to open and close the connecting link, and which are each provided with a stub (6) at one end (4) and at the other end (5) with a pocket (7) to hold the stub (6), in the closed position the connecting-link parts (1, 2) are locked in place with the aid of a central locking element (10) which rests in shell-shaped supporting surfaces (9) of two projections (8) which protrude into the clear interior of the connecting link.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2000Date of Patent: April 24, 2001Assignee: RUD-Kettenfabrik Rieger & Dietz GmbH u. Co.Inventors: Hans Dalferth, Zvonimir Bogdan, Hans-Jürgen Scherle, Alfred Puppel

Patent number: 6216434Abstract: In a chain lock with essentially U-shaped lock parts (1, 2), each lock part has an inner limb (4) and an outer limb (3) which are connected to each other by a yoke. The outer and inner limbs (3, 4) are connected to each other in a closed position of the lock by three pairs of holding teeth (5, 8; 6, 9; 7, 10). For increasing the strength of the lock, the holding teeth (6, 9) of the central pairs of holding teeth, and the holding teeth (5, 8) of the pairs of holding teeth arranged in the region of the ends of the inner limbs (4), have a greater height (H) than the holding teeth (7, 10) of the other pairs of holding teeth. All holding teeth (5-10) support each other only over a central supporting zone which is limited in its height.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 1999Date of Patent: April 17, 2001Assignee: RUD-Kettenfabrik Rieger & Dietz GmbH u. Co.Inventors: Hans Dalferth, Hans Bauer

Patent number: 4944388Abstract: In a chain conveyor, the conveying elements (4) are connected via coupling elements (8, 9) to connecting chain links (1, 2) of at least one drive chain strand. The coupling elements (8, 9) are swung from different sides into the clear inner spaces (7) of the connecting chain links (1, 2). By the type of connection between the coupling elements (8, 9) and the connecting chain links (1, 2), a stable arrangement of the conveying elements (4) is obtained, in which arrangement special securing elements which prevent the coupling elements (8, 9) from being undesirably released from the connecting chain links (1, 2) can be dispensed with.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 1989Date of Patent: July 31, 1990Assignees: RUD-Kettenfabrik Rieger, Dietz GmbH u. Co.Inventor: Hans Dalferth

Patent number: 4850942Abstract: In a chain wheel with pockets (3) for locating horizontal links (4) of a round steel chain, teeth (2) are used, adjoining the rounded tooth-root sections (6) of which are inclined surfaces (7) which serve to support horizontal links (4) of chains, the picth of which is larger than the pitch of the chain wheel. A conventional support of the horizontal links on flat bottoms (8) of the pockets (3) is deliberately omitted.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 1987Date of Patent: July 25, 1989Assignee: Rud-Kettenfabrik Rieger & Dietz GmbH u.Co.Inventor: Hans Dalferth

Patent number: 4144709Abstract: The invention relates to an eyed hook having a shackle engaged in its eye. The eye has a flattened neck to allow the shackle to be engaged, while the shackle has a slot bridged over by a securing bolt, the width of the slot being greater than the width of the material of the hook constituting the neck, but less than the width of the remainder of the material of the hook constituting the eye. The neck is located where the eye merges into the hook, the neck having a transverse bore to take a locking device which also acts as a bearing for a pivoted safety catch of conventional type.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 1977Date of Patent: March 20, 1979Inventors: Hans Dalferth, Reinhard Smetz
