Patent number: 10495881Abstract: Eyeglasses have at least one partially transparent screen as an eyeglass lens and multiple optical recording apparatuses for recording images in a field of vision of a user of the eyeglasses. The recorded images can be processed further by a processing apparatus, in such a manner that a position of the eyeglasses relative to a patient can be determined, and, based on this position, a position of a planned implant in the jaw of a patient can be represented on the at least one partially transparent screen in the form of a marking.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2018Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: bredent medical GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Roland Benz, Gerald Micko

Patent number: 9907629Abstract: A dental prosthetic arrangement and a dental prosthetic system include a combination of a lower part assigned to a jaw implant and an upper part assigned to a prosthesis body in a connection section, wherein in particular two bearing faces are produced in the connection section when in the connected state, the bearing faces being cylindrical, preferably circular-cylindrical in relation to a center axis and being spaced apart from each other in the axial direction. The axial extent of the cylindrical bearing faces is advantageously small compared to the axial extent of the connection section. The two cylindrical bearing faces are preferably situated in axially opposite end regions of the connection section and are connected to each other by approximately conical wall faces of a cut-out in the upper part and a projection of the lower part that projects into the latter.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2014Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: Bredent GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Wilfried Boehm, Peter Brehm, Roland Benz

Patent number: 9301818Abstract: The invention relates to an angled abutment for a dental-prosthetic arrangement, in which the abutment is divided into a first sub-component and a second sub-component, wherein the first sub-component can be fixed by means of a fixing screw to an implant and has a tool opening through which a tool is able to engage to reach the screw head of the fixing screw. After the first sub-component has been fixed to an implant, the second sub-component can be connected to the first sub-component, preferably via a screwed connection, and at the same time completely covers the tool opening of the first sub-component. A retaining structure facing away from the first sub-component is formed on the second sub-component and interacts with a counter-retaining structure on a prosthesis to provide a releasable connection, which can be produced without tools, between the abutment and the prosthesis.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2010Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: Bredent GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 8474675Abstract: A device for automatically controlling the edges of a web of sheeting has a first deflecting roller and a second deflecting roller, which are arranged parallel to each other, and also a drive for shifting the deflecting rollers in opposite axial directions. A sensor detects the position of the sheeting. The drive shifts the deflecting rollers in opposite axial directions and the ratio between the friction of the sheeting on the first deflecting roller and the friction of the sheeting on the second deflecting roller is changed on the basis of the position of the sheeting detected by the sensor.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2010Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Uhlmann Pac-Systeme GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Bernd Haehnel, Werner Goetz, Roland Benz

Patent number: 4432501Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for the continuous production and laying down of yarn loops, in which the yarn loops are introduced onto a lap body by a revolving lap flyer and are transferred from the lap body onto a belt conveyor. To ensure yarn is laid down onto the belt conveyor without stretching, so that it can be drawn off again from above from the conveyor without obstruction, the lap body is a rotationally symmetrical body rotating about its axis of symmetry, the axis of rotation of the lap body extends transversely both to the axis of rotation of the lap flyer and to the running direction of the belt conveyor, and the lap body is driven so that its direction of rotation where it faces the belt conveyor is the same as the running direction of the conveyor.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 1982Date of Patent: February 21, 1984Assignee: Lucke Apparate-Bau GmbHInventors: Gerhard Arendt, Roland Benz, Reinhold Engenhart, Viktor Schmidt

Patent number: 4383655Abstract: A yarn storage device has a plurality of vertically extending screw spindles spaced around a circle. The lower ends of the spindles are received in a bearing plate and are coupled to drive means for rotating each spindle about its own axis. A lap flyer is rotatable around said spindles by said drive means for applying loops of yarn around said spindles. An upwardly conically tapering drum is arranged concentrically to and within said circle such that the loops of yarn are transferred from the free upper ends of said spindles onto said drum and are pushed upwardly along the surface of the drum by subsequent loops. Yarn drawn off from the upper end of the drum has a substantially constant tension.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 1981Date of Patent: May 17, 1983Assignee: Lucke Apparate-Bau GmbHInventors: Gerhard Ahrendt, Roland Benz, Reinhold Engenhart, Viktor Schmidt
