Publication number: 20080092989Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for loading a device for eccentrically slicing veneering. Known slicing devices are problematic in that the process for loading the same with a block of wood is relatively time-consuming and at least partly difficult to perform. The aim of the invention is thus to improve one such slicing device in such a way that the loading process is simplified and accelerated. To this end, a device for milling (2) grooves (3) comprises a measuring device (14) which is used to determine the cross-section of the block of wood (4); the position of the grooves (3) and the cross-section of the block of wood (4) can be recorded as data; and a grip device (17) and a tool carriage (5) of the slicing device (1) can be controlled according to the data in such a way that the block of wood (4) can be placed in the slicing device (1) and the tool carriage (5) is positioned in relation to the block of wood (4) in a starting position for the slicing.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2005Publication date: April 24, 2008Applicant: GRENZEBACH BSH GMBHInventors: Armin Heiner, Jean Meyer, Heinrich Weppler

Patent number: 7100650Abstract: The problem in previously known stay log-type veneer slicers in which a large block of wood is directed in an eccentrically rotating manner past a knife consists of the fact that a remaining block that cannot be sliced has to be removed by hand from a girder structure on which the block is mounted. Hence, the downtime for removing the remaining block and mounting a new block of wood is relatively long. The aim of the invention is therefore to create a stay log-type veneer slicer that has a reduced downtime. Said aim is achieved by disposing means for discarding the block of wood (16) and a device for automatically conveying away the discarded block of wood on the girder structure (12).Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2003Date of Patent: September 5, 2006Assignee: Grenzebach-BSH GmbHInventors: Armin Heiner, Jean Meyer, Heinrich Weppler

Publication number: 20050241453Abstract: In known veneer slicing blades, wherein a block of wood is guided in front of a blade in an eccentrically rotational manner, the relatively large remnants of large wooden blocks cannot be measured. If the residual thickness of the wooden block is small, the edges move away in an elastic manner from the blade, leading to tom edges and correspondingly bad veneer quality. The aim of the invention is to improve a staylog machine in such a way that an evenly high veneer quality can be obtained even in the event of extensive use of said block of wood. This is achieved by providing displaceable means for supporting the longitudinal ends of the block of wood (16) protruding from the bearing surface (15) on the timber-frame (12).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2003Publication date: November 3, 2005Inventors: Armin Heiner, Jean Meyer, Heinrich Weppler

Patent number: 6923228Abstract: In prior art veneer-slicing machines, the blade is always mounted so that its cutting edge is parallel to the plane of the table, inside of which a wooden beam can be clamped. As a result, it is not possible or only possible with a high degree of complexity, to make adaptations to the shape of the wooden beam, said shape being, for example, conical in some types of wood, or to the course of the grain in order to achieve an optimal sectional image and thus the best possible veneer quality. The inventive veneer-slicing machine should make it possible to make simple adaptations to the shape of the wooden beam or should be able to influence the sectional image. To this end, the tool slide (1) can be placed at an angle (?) that is slanted with regard to the plane of the table (17).Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2002Date of Patent: August 2, 2005Assignee: Babcock-BSH GmbHInventors: Jean Meyer, Heinrich Webbler, Armin Heiner

Patent number: 6913049Abstract: The invention relates to a veneer slicing machine. The output of prior art veneer slicing machines is limited by virtue of the fact that the slideways quickly heat up at a maximum stroke rate. As a result, the maximum permissible temperature of 120° C. is quickly reached thereby making it necessary to shut down the machine in order to permit the slideways to cool. The inventive veneer slicing machine should be able to be used in continuous operation at a maximum stroke rate and thus function without resulting in a loss in quality. To this end, cooling means are arranged on the slideways (16) and are provided in said slideways (16) e.g. in the form of borings (21) through which the coolant circulates whereby enabling heat to be carried away in a well-directed manner.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2001Date of Patent: July 5, 2005Assignee: Grenzebach-BSH GmbHInventors: Jean Meyer, Heinrich Weppler, Armin Heiner

Patent number: 6877629Abstract: Container for storing food products including a base defining a product support surface for supporting the food product and a cover releasably engaging with the base such that when the cover engages with the base, a storage compartment is defined by the cover and the base. The cover includes an air control unit for controlling air pressure in the storage compartment and a window extending downward from the air control unit to surround food products in the storage compartment. A product supported on the product support surface of the base is visible through the window when the cover engages with the base. By providing the window as part of the cover, the base is separable from the window to thereby expose the product support surface of the base so that cakes can be easily placed on the product support surface and then enclosed by the cover.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2003Date of Patent: April 12, 2005Assignee: Housewares America, Inc.Inventor: Debbie Jean Meyer

Patent number: 6830229Abstract: A two-stage valve for controlling the flow of fluid from a pressurized fluid supply with an upper main body including a cavity with a contoured inner surface; a lower main body with at least one flow exhaust passage forming a primary flow path through the two-stage valve; a pre-stressed diaphragm sandwiched between the upper and lower main bodies, and pressure control capability for controlling the pressure in the cavity. A first valve opens and closes the flow of gas from the pressurized gas supply to the cavity. A second valve allows the pressure in the cavity to exhaust to the environment. Raising and lowering of the pressure in the cavity causes the pre-stressed diaphragm to open and close the flow of gas from the pressurized gas supply through the primary flow path of the two-stage valve. The design is suitable as a microvalve using Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) concepts.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2003Date of Patent: December 14, 2004Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Todd Garrett Wetzel, Mathew Christian Nielsen, Stanton Earl Weaver, Jr., Renato Guida, James Wilson Rose, Laura Jean Meyer
