  • Patent number: 7726091
    Abstract: A support shoe for a concrete pillar has a base plate and two lateral plates arranged at lateral edges of the base plate and projecting upwardly at a right angle from the base plate. At least one reinforcement bar is connected to the support shoe for introducing forces into the concrete pillar. The two lateral edges and thus also the lateral plates connected thereto are arranged at an acute angle relative to one another, wherein the two lateral plates are formed as separate components connected to the base plate.

  • Publication number: 20040238558
    Abstract: A device for connecting bar ends has a pipe section into which the rods to be connected are inserted with their ends. Several clamping elements each having an outer thread are provided that can be secured in threaded bores of the pipe section by being screwed in. The clamping elements are arranged in two rows and are positioned, relative to the circumference of the pipe section, on the same side of the pipe section. The clamping elements are staggered relative to one another.

  • Patent number: 6636134
    Abstract: The switching point in a high- or medium-voltage switch contains two fixed contact members (1, 2), a rotating, electrically conductive bridging contact member (3), and a drive for moving the bridging contact member (3). When the switching point is closed, the bridging contact member (3) is fit in between the fixed contact members (1, 2) and short-circuits them. The drive is composed of two coils (5, 6) which surround the bridging contact member (3) and are arranged in such a manner that the bridging contact member (3) can be caused to rotate by a current in a respective one of the coils. The energy which needs to be applied to rotate the bridging contact member is less than for contact members which move in translation in comparable switching points. The energy required for opening and closing the switching point is thus reduced.

  • Patent number: 6535366
    Abstract: The current-limiting switch (S) has an arc-resistant contact arrangement (K1), which is intended to carry the rated current (IN), of a first switching point (S1), and two commutation paths (P1 and P2) connected in parallel with the first switching point (S1). The first commutation path (P1) contains, in series, a contact arrangement (KT) of a second switching point (ST) and an electronic power switching apparatus (T). The second commutation path (P2) contains, in series, a switching apparatus (SA) and a current-limiting element (RB). The contact arrangements (K1 and KT) are designed to be coaxially symmetrical and are arranged in a pressure-resistant housing (G). Both switching points have electrodynamic drives which open and close very quickly. Thanks to the extremely space-saving, coaxial arrangement of the contact arrangements, undesirable stray inductances can be avoided. This allows the current-limiting switch to be switched on and off very quickly.

  • Patent number: 6501635
    Abstract: The switching point in a high or medium voltage switch contains two stationary switch pieces which are of cylindrical design and led coaxially into one another, to form an annular gap. A movable bridge switch piece constructed in the form of a contact ring fits into the annular gap when the switching point is closed. An electrodynamic drive comprising two coils moves the contact ring in the axial direction. By virtue of the low mass of the contact ring, the single moving part of the switching point can be switched on and off very quickly and efficiently.

  • Patent number: 6161352
    Abstract: A shear reinforcement system for a slab floor has at least one elongate shear reinforcement member positioned transverse to the plane of the slab floor. At least one securing element for securing at least one of the elongate shear reinforcement members is provided. The at least one securing element extends transverse to the at least one elongate shear reinforcement member.

  • Patent number: 6086300
    Abstract: A clamping screw (1) comprises a screw shaft (3) with a thread and a hammer-shaped screw head (2) which can be inserted in a positive-locking manner into a T groove (4) of a construction component (25). In the mounted position, the screw head (2) extends transverse to a longitudinal slot (5) of the T groove (4) and engages with clamping portions (7) support legs (6) extending on either side of the longitudinal a slot (5). The clamping portions comprise respectively a leading edge (12) and a blocking edge (13) resting at one of the groove walls (14). The blocking edge (13) projects from a lateral surface which is part of the longitudinal side (11) and a connecting line (15) between the leading edge (12) and the blocking edge (13) of the same longitudinal side (11) intercepts a transverse axis (10) of the screw head (2) at an angle which deviates from 90.degree..

  • Patent number: 5729951
    Abstract: An anchoring device for the construction industry has an anchor rail that is C-shaped in cross-section and has a hollow interior so that the anchor rail has a back and legs connected to the back. The legs have angled free ends pointing toward one another and delimiting therebetween a longitudinal slot. The back has outwardly extending projections, each having an opening. Each opening has a double cone rim widening radially outwardly from the opening with radially outwardly diverging first and second conical surfaces. The double cone has an outer edge facing outwardly relative to the hollow interior. A plurality of anchors is connected to the anchor rail, whereby each one of the anchors is received in one of the openings and attached thereto by plastic material deformation of the anchor rail and/or the anchor. The anchor has a cylindrical shaft with a head and a base opposite the head. The base of the shaft is positioned in the opening.

  • Patent number: 5649782
    Abstract: A transport anchor for transporting a heavy part, which anchor is embedded in the heavy part, includes a sleeve having an inner thread for receiving a load bearing member. The sleeve has a first section with an exterior end face positioned flush with the exterior surface of the heavy part. The sleeve has a second section with a receiving member for an anchoring element of the heavy part. A first plug with an outer thread is threaded into the inner thread of the sleeve and is moveable along the inner thread. The first plug has a plug end face facing outwardly relative to the heavy part. The load bearing member can frictionally engage the plug end face of the first plug. The load bearing member has a base body with an outer thread for cooperation with the inner thread of the sleeve.

  • Patent number: 5560664
    Abstract: A coupling device for coupling a cable of a lifting device to a prefabricated component has a receiving member for receiving the cable and a fastener for connecting the receiving member to the prefabricated component such that the receiving member is rotatably supported at the prefabricated component. The receiving member is embodied so as to rest at the surface of the prefabricated component. The receiving member has a cable guide portion for guiding the cable. The cable guide portion extends substantially parallel to the surface of the prefabricated component and is located directly adjacent to that surface. Preferably, the receiving member is in the form of a plate and the cable guide portion is arc-shaped.
