  • Patent number: 5965956
    Abstract: An overhead line for electrical energy transmission includes at least one phase conductor which receives a phase current which has a phase and an amplitude. A compensation loop surrounds the at least one phase conductor. A compensation current which has a phase and an amplitude is fed into the compensation loop by a driving voltage. The phase and the amplitude of the compensation current is set with respect to the phase and the amplitude of the phase current flowing in the at least one phase conductor such that a magnetic flux produced by the compensation current counteracts a magnetic flux produced by the phase current. At least one additional loop surrounds the at least one phase conductor connected to the compensation loop. The driving voltage for the compensation current is produced in the compensation loop and in the at least one additional loop. The compensation loop and the at least one additional loop define the at least one phase conductor into at least two main sections.

  • Patent number: 5920130
    Abstract: An overhead line for electrical energy transmission, includes three phase conductors of a three-phase system. The three phase conductors are disposed vertically one above the other and define an upper phase conductor and a lower phase conductor. At least one additional compensation loop having a first conductor, a second conductor, and vertical connecting conductors surround the three phase conductors. The first conductor of the at least one additional compensation loop is disposed parallel to and above the upper phase conductor. The second conductor of the at least one additional compensation loop is disposed parallel to and below the lower phase conductor. The first and the second phase conductors are connected to one another via vertical connecting conductors. A compensation current is fed into the at least one compensation loop.

  • Patent number: 4552483
    Abstract: A device for covering an oblong housing opening (3), along which an element (5) extending with one portion of itself into the housing (1) is movable back and forth, which comprises a flexible band (4), which immovably is secured at each end of the housing opening (3). The band is guided via deflecting rollers (6, 7) and guide rollers (8, 9) secured on the element (5), so as to train about the proximate portion of the element (5), which extends within the housing (1). The deflecting rollers (6, 7) and the guide rollers (8, 9) enable a shifting of the element (5) in the longitudinal direction of the housing opening (3) and with respect to the band (4).

  • Patent number: 4496958
    Abstract: A drawing pen exchanging device for transferring a drawing pen between a drawing head (4) and a drawing pen magazine (5) in a computer controlled drawing device. The drawing pen (7) is held against a stationary holding area in the drawing head (4) with the aid of a spring holding element (14) and against a stationary receptacle area (11, 12) in the drawing pen magazine (5) by means of a spring-pressure element (24). Through a sliding cooperation with a guide (25) provided to the side of the stationary holding area (21,22), the holding element (14) is swung out to transfer the drawing pen (7) from the drawing head (4) into the drawing pen magazine (5) and the drawing pen (7) then will be held back by the pressure element (24) in the drawing pen magazine (5). When the drawing pen (7) thereafter is to be removed from the drawing pen magazine (5) the holding element (14) is operable not to engage the guide (25) and thereby will pull the drawing pen (7) from the drawing pen magazine (5) (FIG. 2).

  • Patent number: 4489333
    Abstract: In a device for exchanging objects, in particular writing instruments, two substantially identically embodied holders (5, 5') which are open at one side are provided. These holders are movable relative to one another in a plane extending substantially at right angles to there longitudinal axes (12, 12'). The object to be exchanged is held in a receptacle (20), which in cross section has substantially the shape of a regular, convex n-gon having an uneven number of sides. At each corner of the receptacle (20), there is an element of ferromagnetic material (22, 23, 24), and there is a permanent magnet (6, 6') on the inner face, located opposite the open side, of the receiving area of each holder (5, 5'). The receptacle (20) is positionally fixed in a holder (for instance, 5') by means of the aligned position of an element (23) of ferromagnetic material and of a permanent magnet (6', for example).

  • Patent number: 4282536
    Abstract: Process and apparatus for drawing with several tube pens which may, alternatively, be brought into contact with a drawing surface, to draw different line widths. The tube pens are connected to an ink supply delivery mechanism which ensures that the writing fluid pressure in each tube pen is kept at a given value. The ink supply delivery mechanism supplies writing fluid to that tube pen having the finest line width, and excess writing fluid flows successively therefrom through an overflow, and to successively lower overflows of the tube pens with the next largest line widths, finally reaching the tube pen with the broadest line width, and eventually, by way of a storage container, to the ink supply delivery mechanism.
