  • Patent number: 11052695
    Abstract: The invention relates to a book production line and a method for producing individual books as well as very short and short runs of books. The book production line comprises a feed device and a following transport section for book covers, a feed device and a following transport and processing section with a rounding and pressing machine, an adhesive-backing apparatus for book blocks, and a casing-in machine. The rounding and pressing machine forms an upstream-arranged, first adjustment segment. The adhesive-backing apparatus is divided into at least two additional adjustment segments that successively follow each other in a transport direction of the book blocks. Each adjustment segment includes a separate drive and a number of book block positions which is the same for each adjustment segment or differs maximally by three book block positions.

  • Patent number: 9821628
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle air conditioner (10), with an evaporator (12) for supplying cold air (14) which can be fed to a vehicle interior (16), an air-mixing region (18) which is connected downstream of the evaporator (12) and can supply mixed air at a predeterminable temperature, a first ventilation duct (20) which is connected to the air-mixing region (18) and can conduct mixed air from the air-mixing region (18) into a front region (22) of the vehicle interior (16), and a second ventilation duct (24) which is connected to the air-mixing region (18) and can conduct mixed air from the air-mixing region (18) into a rear region (26) of the vehicle interior (16), wherein, in addition, a separate cold air duct (28), which can feed cold air (14), which is supplied by the evaporator (12), to the vehicle interior (16) in substantially unmixed form is provided.
