Patent number: 9945002Abstract: A metallurgical melting vessel has a vertical shaft, surrounded by a housing wall, which receives steel scrap. At least one closure element, having laterally spaced-apart fingers extending parallel to one another, is mounted such that it can move between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the fingers protrude at least partially into the shaft for the purpose of holding back steel scrap. In the open position, the fingers free the shaft at least to such an extent that the steel scrap can fall from the shaft into the melting vessel. The at least one closure element is mounted so as to be movable from the side of the shaft into the shaft and laterally thereoutof.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2011Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: PRIMETALS TECHNOLOGIES AUSTRIA GMBHInventors: Hannes Beile, Markus Dorndorf, Hansjörg Huber, Christiane Kiessner, Petra Kreuder, Matthias Krieg, Alexander Mëller, Robert Schalast, Michael Schmid

Patent number: 9738427Abstract: A pack having an opening region provided in the top of the pack which forms a pouring opening after it is cut through by an applied pouring element, the pouring element including a base body, a cutting element arranged movably therein, and a screw cap, the screw cap being used for first opening of the pack by actuating the cutting element and for reclosure, and the opening region having a weakened line. The weakened line has a round first section and a second section. The first time the composite pack is opened by moving the cutting element, the weakened line is cut in the first section and tears in the second section.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2013Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: SIG Technology AGInventors: Martin Backes, Hansjörg Huber

Patent number: 9482471Abstract: A melt metallurgical installation has a melting furnace for melting scrap metal and a charging region for the melting furnace which is located above the melting furnace. The installation further has a charging element, which has been filled with scrap metal intended for the melting furnace and can be moved in a movement direction into the charging region where it can be emptied and then moved again, in the empty state, against the movement direction out of the charging region. The charging region is enclosed by a hood such that the charging region, including the charging element which has been placed in the charging region, is closed at the top and on the sides. The hood has at least one upper extraction opening through which the waste gases and dust developing in the hood can be extracted out of the hood.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2011Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: PRIMETALS TECHNOLOGIES AUSTRA GmbHInventors: Markus Dorndorf, Hansjörg Huber

Patent number: 7458486Abstract: The self-opener closure consists of a pour-out spout (2) which may be sealingly assembled onto a composite packaging or onto a container spout or bottle spout to be closed with film material, of an associated rotary cap (1) as well as a self-opener sleeve (3) arranged within the pour-out spout (2) which may be set into rotation by the rotary cap (1). Force transmission means and guide means are formed on these three elements. These cooperate with one another such that on rotating the rotary cap (1) in the opening direction for the first time the self-opener sleeve (3) firstly in the pour-out spout (2) may be pushed vertically downwards and subsequently may be rotated by approximately 360° in the horizontal. Because the self-opener sleeve (3) at its lower edge and projecting from this comprises a single, combined piercing and cutting member (9) the film or the composite packaging is first reliably pierced and afterwards a disk is cut cleanly out of it and pivoted downwards.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2003Date of Patent: December 2, 2008Assignee: SIG Technology Ltd.Inventors: Mario Weist, Hansjorg Huber, Fritz Seelhofer
