Patent number: 6959634Abstract: The invention concerns a device for die-cutting a stack of sheet-like materials, particularly labels, whereby the stack is pressed into the die-cutter blade by a relative movement of a punching ram and a hollow cylindrical die-cutter blade. For a device such as this, it is proposed that the die-cutter blade 18 is adjustably held in a frame 16, and the frame 16 is accommodated by a receiving apparatus 13 which is mounted in a punch platen 12 and is adjustable relative to it, whereby the frame 16 can be slid in a plane parallel to the punch platen 12, in particular is adjustable in the direction of two major axes that are essentially arranged perpendicular to one another, and can also be tilted out of the plane. Such a device allows for precise orientation of the die-cutter blade relative to the stack to be punched.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2001Date of Patent: November 1, 2005Assignee: Adolf Mohr Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6942895Abstract: A method for sealing the cut edges which result when filter material is cut from a zigzag-shaped starting material is provided. The filter material area situated within an outer casing is at least partly interspersed with fine particles which are present therein in an unbound state. A cutter blade separates the filter material, which during the cutting process rests against an anvil, by exerting pressure which acts approximately perpendicularly on the material to be separated. According to the method, the severance cut takes place in an area which shortly prior to carrying out the severance cut has been impregnated with a liquid which is solidifiable under pressure.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2002Date of Patent: September 13, 2005Assignee: MAHLE Filtersysteme GmbHInventors: Horst Schneider, Hans Waibel

Patent number: 6880443Abstract: The invention relates to a device for die cutting a stack consisting of sheet-type materials, in particular labels. According to said method, a movement of a stack to be cut in relation to a hollow cylindrical be pushed into said die-cutter blade. This type of device is characterized in that the die-cutter blade (18) is adjustably mounted in a frame (16), which can be inserted in a holding device (13) perpendicularly to the relative displacement direction (K) of the stacks to be cut (7) and die-cutter blades (18), and can be fixed in a central position. The holding device (13) is mounted in a die-cutter head plate (12), in such a way that it can be adjusted in relation to the latter. A die-cutter device of this type has an extremely compact construction, as a result of the positioning and mounting of the die-cutter blade in the direction of the relative movement of the stack to be cut and the die-cutter blade.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2001Date of Patent: April 19, 2005Assignee: Adolf Mohr Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6793870Abstract: The invention relates to a method for linking a first plastic component (6) with a second plastic component (9). According to the inventive method, the first component (6) is introduced into an injection mold with at least one connecting section (12) at which the link with the second component (9) is to be established. The second component (9) is formed by injection-molding plastic material onto the connecting section. A surface of the connecting section (12) is at least partially covered by the plastic material of the second component (9). At least one of the components may consist of a plastic material that requires only a relatively narrow temperature range to be moldable in the molten state. At least one binder body is formed at the surface intended to be covered by the injection-molded plastic material which binder is firmly linked with the surface. Said binder melts when contacted with the heat energy of the injection-molded plastic material and fuses with the injection-molded plastic.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2001Date of Patent: September 21, 2004Assignee: Mahle Filtersysteme GmbHInventors: Kay Brodesser, Hans Peter Drespling, Hans Jensen, Günter Kachler, Horst Schneider, Jürgen Stehlig

Patent number: 6755106Abstract: The invention concerns a device for die-cutting a stack of sheet-like materials, particularly labels, whereby the stack is pressed into the die-cutter blade by a relative movement of a punching ram and a hollow cylindrical die-cutter blade. For such a device, it is proposed that the stack (8) to be punched be positioned between a limiting element (88) and a moveable slide-in unit 21 is positioned against a stop (89), and the limiting element (88) and the stop (89) are moveable. This type of construction of the die-cutting device ensures an optimal positioning of the stack in area of the pinching ram, independent of varying stack sizes.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2002Date of Patent: June 29, 2004Assignee: Adolf Mohr Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6706087Abstract: A filter body of an air filter, comprising a cylindrical filter member with an end disk on at least one axial end. This end disk comprises a radially effective seal which is arranged radially in relation to the arrangement on a sealing surface when the filter body is mounted in a filter housing. This end disk also comprises a supporting section which extends, relative to the filter member, in a ring shaped manner on the axially outer side of the end disk. This supporting section is designed to be axially elastic. When the filter body is mounted in a filter housing, this supporting section is supported by a support contour formed on the filter housing and extending parallel to the end disk. In this case, the filter body can be axially positioned in the filter housing.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2002Date of Patent: March 16, 2004Assignee: MAHLE Filtersysteme GmbHInventors: Claude Gebler, Horst Schneider
