  • Connection system comprising a coupling device and a plug element for a welding torch
    Patent number: 9040872
    Abstract: The invention relates to a connection device (27) comprising a coupling device (24) and a plug element (34) for a welding torch (10) connected to the coupling device (24) by at least one hose assembly (23), said coupling device arranged at least partially in the housing, wherein a welding wire (13), delivered by a feed unit (29) which is arranged on a motor plate (28), and additional media are conducted to the welding torch (10) via the hose assembly (23) and wherein the hose assembly (23) is connected to the plug element (34). In order to create such a connection system (27), the coupling device is formed by a connection device (30) comprising an end wall (38) and a separating wall (39) of the motor plate (28), wherein the end wall (38) is designed to receive the coupling (35), the connection device (30) is constructed to at least guide and position a pin (37), and the connection device (30) is independent of the housing.

  • Method of recovering glass and metal from solid residues produced in refuse incineration plants
    Patent number: 5511496
    Abstract: Glass and metal are recovered separately by melting from the solid residues produced in a refuse incineration plant, particularly from slag. The melting is effected in two zones. In the first, top melting zone the oxidic constituents of the residues are converted into a glass melt. In the second, bottom melting zone the metallic constituents of the residues are converted at a higher temperature into a metal melt. The two melts are recovered separately.
