Publication number: 20170227038Abstract: According to the invention, a deformation base (3) is arranged on a side of a substratum (1) that is free of holes, onto which deformation base a cage part (6) has been pressed. When the cage part (6) is pressed on, foot segments (8) of the cage part (6), for example, are deformed while sliding on the deformation base and penetrate into the substratum (1), the connecting device thus being formed, and are embedded in the substrate by means of anchoring segments (14). A setting tool (21), comprising an elongate outer body (25), on which the deformation base (3) is detachably attached, and comprising an inner punch (22) that can be displaced in the outer body (25) in a longitudinal direction, to which inner punch the cage part (8) is detachably attached, is used for mechanized performance of the connecting method.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2015Publication date: August 10, 2017Inventors: Sebastian Blum, Till Eric Ruffing, Martin Büsch, Martin Kurth, Johannes Gebhardt

Patent number: 9410650Abstract: An electric resonant circuit is provided in a receiving part of a coupling for a fluid line, the resonant circuit interacting with a tuning device in a contactless manner. In an intermediate position of an insert part, which differs from a closed position, the resonant circuit has a resonant frequency that differs from the characteristic closure frequency, and in the closed position the resonant circuit has the characteristic closure frequency. The tuning device acts on the inductance of the electric resonant circuit. An acting part is provided that mechanically acts on the coil when the insert part is inserted into the receiving part such that the shape of the coil in the closed position differs from the shape of the coil in the intermediate position.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2012Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Assignee: A.

Patent number: 9010196Abstract: A system for measuring flow rate with at least a first and a second flow meter provides a flow-rate measurement system which easily allows self-monitoring. This result is achieved by the system in that the first flow meter and the second flow meter differ from one another and/or have different orientations for the flow rate measurement, and each have an evaluation unit which produces data from the flow rate measurement. Furthermore, there is a monitoring device which is connected to the evaluation units such that the monitoring device acquires data produced by the evaluation units, and which is made such that it produces at least one comparison result from a comparison of the data produced by the evaluation units and signals at least the occurrence of a fault state which is associated with at least one comparison result.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2012Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: Krohne AGInventors: Martin Kurth, Jan Drenthen, Marcel Verneulen

Patent number: 8373961Abstract: The invention relates to a coupling for a fluid line, wherein an oscillating circuit (5, 9) is present for detecting a properly closed position of an inserted part (13). A tuning device (19) is further provided, by means of which the resonant frequency of the oscillating circuit (5, 9) can be influenced such that the resonant frequency corresponds to a characteristic closure frequency only in the closed position of the insertion part (13). The proper arrangement of the insertion part (13) in the closed position can thereby be detected without contact.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2009Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: A.

Patent number: 8210384Abstract: Disclosed is a closure cap (1) comprising a exterior marginal web (5), a shielding section (4) that protrudes past the marginal web (5), and a hot-melt adhesive (11) which is arranged in the area of the shielding section (4) and is deformable in a plastic manner when heated above a softening temperature. A number of gripping abutment elements (7) are embodied on the marginal web (5) while a joint zone (3) having a reduced flexural rigidity is configured between the marginal web (5) and the shielding section (4). The distance between the abutment elements (7) and the bottom side of the hot-melt adhesive, which faces the marginal web (5), is smaller than the thickness of the material of a basic part (13) in the area of the opening such that an initial tension is created in the joint zone (3) when the closure cap (1) is inserted into the opening, resulting in a simple self-acting closing process after heating the hot-melt adhesive (11).Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2004Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: A.

Patent number: 8136772Abstract: The device for receiving oblong objects comprises a bottom wall (2) and a receiving element (1) having two bordering walls (3, 4) facing each other. A cover element (16) is mounted on the receiving element (1) so as to be pivoted by means of a border hinge (15) and can be linked with the receiving element (1) by means of a closure system (23, 24, 25, 26) facing the border hinge (15). The cover element (16) has at least three cover sections (17, 19, 21). Between adjacent cover sections (17, 19, 21), a center hinge (18, 20) is configured. The closure system (23, 24, 25, 26) allows for a number of closure positions that corresponds to the number of center hinges (18, 20) and in which the cover sections (17, 19, 21) are spaced apart from the bottom wall at different distances. The same design of the inventive device can therefore be used in different environments of assembly.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2005Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: A.
