  • Publication number: 20080202478
    Abstract: Disclosed is a pressure control valve (8) for a hydraulic device, particularly a fuel supply system of a motor vehicle, comprising a valve seat (10) that is disposed between a valve member (13) and a spring element (16) for biasing the valve member (13) counter to the valve seat (10). The valve member (13) and the spring element (16) are interconnected via a traction element (14) such that the valve member (13) is reliably guided towards the valve seat (10) without using any additional guiding elements.

  • Publication number: 20080053534
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pressure regulator for a fuel supply unit on a motor vehicle, whereby a membrane (11) is connected to an annular element (3) of the housing (1) and a moving piston (2) by a laser welding technique. A reliable sealing of the membrane (11) is thus guaranteed even at temperatures below 0° C. The region above the piston (2) is thus reliably separated from the region below the piston (2).

  • Publication number: 20060138252
    Abstract: The catching nozzle according to the invention for a powder conveying device has a tubular powder flow duct and a shoulder, with which the position of the catching nozzle is predetermined in the powder conveying device and that is arranged between a upstream catching nozzle section and a downstream catching nozzle section. The shoulder has a duct for dosage air, wherein the duct connects the upstream catching nozzle section to the downstream catching nozzle section. The downstream catching nozzle section is developed such that it forms, with a hose socket that can be pushed over the downstream catching nozzle section, another duct for dosage air in order to lead the dosage air up to the downstream end of the catching nozzle.

  • Publication number: 20030141393
    Abstract: In a powder spray device for the electrostatic coating of workpieces with powder at least partly comprising electrically conductive particles and having a powder channel (10) for delivering the powder to an outlet directed towards the workpiece the powder channel contains a local cross-sectional reduction. The cross-sectional reduction brings about a velocity increase of the powder in the powder channel, thereby preventing an adhesion of the powder to the inner wall of the powder channel.

  • Patent number: 5237727
    Abstract: A method for enabling the cleaning of fibers in a fiber cleaning machine in which a cleaning stream moves tufts around a rotating cleaning cylinder, the tufts being cleaned and opened. The cleaning action can be adapted to fibers of varying origin and to an increasing degree of opening in the course of cleaning. The cleaning stream is, to a large extent, controlled and controllable by decoupling it from the dynamic behavior of the transport streams which transport material to and away from the cleaning process. Compensation for variations in the cleaning stream, and in the material supplied for cleaning, are achieved by control of the cleaning intensity, in order that the tufts emerging from the cleaning process are constant and optimally cleaned and opened. The invention concerns also suitable fiber cleaning apparatus for the realization of the described method. The apparatus includes a cleaning cylinder positioned in a casing and a plurality of cleaning elements extending from the cylinder.

  • Patent number: 5168602
    Abstract: A fiber opening and cleaning machine includes an opening roll provided with inclined beater elements. Such beater elements have a wave shaped design and are considerably less in diameter than the relatively larger diameter beater rods customarily used in such machines. The advantage of the wave shaped beater elements lies in the grasping and spiral conveying of the fiber flocks fed into the machine.

  • Patent number: 5018247
    Abstract: A machine for cleaning textile fibres including a casing, a horizontal opening roller rotatably mounded in the casing, the roller body having a roller body and beater rods protruding from the peripheral area of the roller body and bar grates arranged below the underside of the opening roller. Textile fibres in the form of flocks are conveyed in a delivery air stream through an inlet which is arranged at a first end of the opening roller. An outlet for egress of the delivery air stream is arranged at the other end of the opening roller. In one arrangement, the radial length of the beater rods decreases from the inlet to the outlet and the diameter of the roller body increases from the inlet to the outlet. This arrangement allows the opening of the fibre flocks to be improved and permits a more complete separation of impurities through the bar grates.

  • Patent number: 4993118
    Abstract: A machine for cleaning textile fibres including a casing, a horizontal opening roller rotatably mounted in the casing, the roller being fitted with beater elements and at least one group of grate bars arranged below the underside and approximately parallel to the opening roller. Textile fibres in the form of flocks are fed to the opening roller in a current of delivery air through an inlet located above and at one end of the opening roller. An outlet for removing the delivery air is arranged above and at the other end of the opening roller. A clearance between the grate bars and the opening roller is adjustable. Therewith, the machine can be optimally suited to the type of textile fibre material to be cleaned. The grate bars can also be further adjustable on a axis parallel to their own longitudinal axis, so that the setting angle of the grate bars, with reference to the current of delivery air, can also be adapted to the type of the textile fibre material.

  • Patent number: 4969237
    Abstract: A machine for cleaning textile fibres includes a horizontal rotating roller with beater elements and bar grates on the underside of the roller. Delivery air transports the textile fibres in the form of flocks through an inlet which is arranged above the upper side and at one end of the roller. An outlet for the air transporting the fibres is located above the upper side and at the other end of the roller. Between the inlet and the outlet at least three, preferably five transfer chambers are located over the upper side of the roller, each of which lead the air stream passing around the roller axis further in the axial direction of the axis by about the width in the axial direction of the chamber. The transfer chambers are defined by four, preferably six deflectors inclined by an ascending angle with respect to the axis of the roller.

  • Patent number: 4964196
    Abstract: A coarse cleaning machine for textile fibres including a casing, a horizontal roller rotatably mounted in the casing, the roller being fitted with beater elements and bar grates are arranged on the underside of the roller. Located above and at one end of the roller is an inlet which carries delivery air for conveying the textile fibres in the form of flocks and an outlet is located above and at the other end for the roller. Deflectors which are inclined with respect to the roller axis are arranged above the upper side of the roller between the inlet and the outlet. The deflectors define transfer chambers which deflect the delivery air further in the direction of the axis of the roller. At least part of the transfer chambers are covered by a wall which is permeable to air and dust and a low pressure chamber connected to a suction pipe is located above the wall.
