Publication number: 20230303341Abstract: A transport system for a plurality of containers includes a feed device for a supply of containers which, at a transfer end of the feed device, can be received by a receiving region of a working platform of a transport mover. For the purpose of movement in a working plane, the transport mover has a drive section which is connected to the working platform and which interacts with a stationary, planar drive plane. The working platform has a blocking surface, the distance of which from the drive plane can be changed by movement of the drive section of the transport mover relative to the drive plane.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Jochen Ziegler, Maik Täger, Sebastian Hachtel

Patent number: 9457997Abstract: Counterweight fixing device (1) for a crane, which is comparatively easy to install and can also be used in particular for cranes with a derricking jib, in which the derricking jib is rigidly connected to the mast (3), and at the same time provides a safe design without generating a high noise level during operation. The core principle of the design of the counterweight fixing device (1) is that the counterweight blocks (4) are simply suspended on a carrier bar (2), but the generation of noise is kept to a low level due to the suppression of the freedom of movement of the counterweight blocks (4).Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2012Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: Wolffkran Holding AGInventors: Ulrich Dorzbach, Johannes Kleinknecht, Jochen Ziegler

Patent number: 7616310Abstract: The present invention provides, for the first time, a process that meets the needs of the drug industry for measuring the particle size of nebulized aerosols simultaneously or one after another by the laser diffraction method and the cascade impactor method which is known in the art. In this way it is possible to bring the reliability of the results of the laser diffraction process according to the invention into conformity with that of the cascade impactor, and thereby obtain a process which combines the advantages of the rapid laser diffraction process with the accuracy of the otherwise time-consuming cascade impactor method. In addition to the process, apparatus for carrying out the process are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2006Date of Patent: November 10, 2009Assignee: Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbHInventors: Jochen Ziegler, Herbert Wachtel
