Abstract: A system for storing products, in particular sausages, each having a sausage-shaped body and a loop (22), which is fixed to the sausage-shaped body and being used for a pendulously storage of the products (20) on rod-shaped storage devices (50). The System includes at least one rod-shaped storage device (50) for storing several products (20) by their loops (22) one after another. The system also includes at least one conveyor device (30) with at least one conveyor element (40) for conveying the products (20) by means of their loops (22) to storage places on the rod-shaped storage device (50). Furthermore, the system includes at least one damping unit (70, 170) for reducing a swinging motion of the products (20) is positioned at least partially along the rod-shaped storage device (50) such that it abuts on the products (20).

Abstract: A torsional vibration absorber comprising a hub for attachment to a shaft and an oscillating ring. The oscillating ring is disposed concentrically with the hub and, together with the hub, delimits an annular gap. The hub and the oscillating ring are connected via connecting members made from an elastomeric material. The connecting members are offset in a circumferential direction and disposed in the annular gap. The connecting members include a bead-shaped middle portion, which is connected to the oscillating ring and to the hub via thin webs.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a loading station for a storage frame. In the loading station, the storage frame serves for temporarily holding and transporting rod-like elements, in particular smoking rods, on which sausage-shaped products, like sausages, are stored, and comprises two side parts, wherein each side part has two supports being substantially parallel to each other and wherein the side parts are connected with each other by at least one cross beam, and horizontally arranged trays for accommodating rod-like elements. The loading station comprises at least one position defining device for defining a predetermined position of the storage frame. Moreover, at least one locking device is provided for releasably locking of the storage frame in its predetermined position.

Abstract: A feeding device for suspension elements, for feeding flexible suspension elements into a packaging machine, in particular into a clipping machine, wherein the suspension elements are detachably disposed in the form of loops by an adhesive on a carrier strip transversely to the feeding direction and may be conveyed of said carrier strip to a delivery point at which a suspension element may be removed from the carrier strip. In the region of the delivery point for the suspension elements, a holding-down device is provided above the carrier strip.

Abstract: A displacer assembly for a clip machine, in particular a sausage clip machine, including at least a first pair of displacer shears and a second pair of displacer shears arranged parallel thereto. The displacer shears are arranged pivotably about a common axis and are reversibly movable towards each other for constriction of the filled packaging casing for forming a filling material-free plaited portion. In that respect the first pair of displacer shears comprises two displacer shears which are at least approximately identical in minor image relationship and the second pair of displacer shears has a second displacer shear which is at least approximately identical to the displacer shears of the first pair of displacer shears, as well as a first, shorter displacer shear.

Abstract: The invention concerns a sealing clip (10) for bags, foil tubes or the like, said sealing clip (10) comprising a wire section, a pre-curved clip base (12) and two clip legs (14) adjoining the latter on both sides. The two clip legs taper constantly from their clip base ends to their free ends. The invention also concerns a wire section for sealing clips of this type which tapers constantly towards both ends. The invention finally concerns a matrix (30) for sealing the sealing clip and having two slide channels (36, 38) which each narrow conically from an inlet point.
