  • Patent number: 8037830
    Abstract: A cartridge is described having a cartridge casing (1) and having a propellant cup (4), which is inserted in the cartridge casing (1), receives a sub-caliber projectile (5) in a formfitting manner, and is manufactured from plastic, and which separates the projectile (5) from the propellant charge in the cartridge casing (1) and has axial separation points (15) along its jacket (10). To ensure an advantageous length for the projectile, it is suggested that the propellant cup (5) have at least one pocket (9), extending in a cavity between the projectile (5) and the cartridge casing (1) and/or in a cavity of the projectile (5) and open toward the base (2) of the cartridge casing (1), for receiving a part of the propellant charge.

  • Patent number: 6206627
    Abstract: A loading device for containers (C) comprises a pair of loading units (2), each having a telescopic column (4) supported on a bracket (3) so as to be swivelled about a common swivel axis (I). The telescopic column consists of a lower portion (9), an upper portion (11) and a column cylinder (17) moving the upper portion (11) with respect to the lower portion (9). Actuating cylinders (5) are connected to the lower portion (9) on both sides, and the upper portion (11) accommodates an extension arm (14) which can be swivelled about a swivel axis (III) parallel to the swivel axis (I) of the telescopic column.

  • Patent number: 5621261
    Abstract: In the case of a stator-excited starter-generator, a permanent magnet arrangement, which is magnetized in the opposite direction to the winding excitation, and has yoke overhangs which are radial with respect to the adjacent sector stator elements, is arranged in the axial separating space of two sector stator elements, which are arranged axially one behind the other each stator element is winding-excited by an excitation winding part of opposite polarity.

  • Patent number: 5280211
    Abstract: In a stator-excited synchronous machine with laminated sector stator elements (SS1 or SS2), which are arranged one behind another at an axial distance and are winding-excited by in each case one excitation winding part (EW1 or EW2) of opposite polarity, the operating efficiency can be increased with low outlay when a permanent magnet arrangement (M) having a magnetization opposing the winding excitation in the sector stator elements is provided in the axial spacing chamber between the sector stator elements (SS1 or SS2); in order to lock the position of the magnet arrangement (M), the facing laminations of the magnet arrangement (M) have bent-away tongues (Z) gripping radially from below.

  • Patent number: 5214336
    Abstract: A motor and/or generator functioning according to the reluctance principle, has stator sectors distributed over the circumference of the rotor, each with radially projecting pole shanks around which a concentrated exciter coil part is wrapped. The pole shanks are connected by a short-circuit yoke, in that the pole shanks are laterally offset at an angle relative to the radial center line of symmetry of the stator sector in question. This allows a significant reduction in the structural size, while guaranteeing the operational effectiveness.

  • Patent number: 5160805
    Abstract: A projectile (1) for a cartridge for hand-held firearms comprises a core (2) and a core jacket (3). The core (2) is made of a material which has a higher specific gravity than the material of the jacket (3). The core (2) and the jacket (3) are positively interconnected.In order to achieve a high penetrating power and a man-stopping effect and to ensure that the trajectory will be relatively short in case of a miss, the core (2) of the projectile is integrally formed on its periphery with deformed portions (6), which extend radially outwardly within a diameter range which is determined by the maximum core diameter and serve to establish a positive joint with the core jacket (3), and in a manner known per se the core jacket (3) is open toward the tip of the projectile.

  • Patent number: 4914713
    Abstract: In order to pick up in a simple manner which is reliable, and under rough operating conditions, a rotation of the rotor in a miniature motor excited by permanent magnets with magnet segments at a tangential distance with magnet segments distributed at the bore circumference of the stator, it is proposed to arrange in at least one pole gap between the magnet segment a measuring coil. A signal is induced by the pulsation of the stray field due to rotation of the rotor. The measuring coil is advantageously arranged in a non-magnetic, preferably plastic support body held between the individual poles or the magnet segments respectively.

  • Patent number: 4900966
    Abstract: A dc commutator motor can be switched off when the motor rotor is short-circuited by the rotor's coming to a halt, by an operating switch (10). The switch is provided in the line connecting the brushes to a radio suppression network in a compact and simple design. The switch is operated by an ac voltage induced when the motor is running, with a frequency corresponding to the motor speed. A sensing winding connected to the operating switch for inducing the operating ac voltage is wound preferably around a radio interference suppression choke of the radio suppression network.

  • Patent number: 4746266
    Abstract: In a radial blower with two blower wheels (2, 3) fastened axially in tandem on one shaft end each of the interposed drive motor (b 1) with one blower blade circle (21, 31 respectively) held at a radial distance from the hub (26, 36) on the blower shaft side, the operating noise is to be reduced by simple arrangement while maintaining a high output yield; to this end it is proposed to connect the blower blade ring (21 and 31 respectively) of each blower wheel (2, 3) via spokes (22 to 25, and 32 to 35 respectively) leaving free tangential spaces and to arrange the spokes (22 to 25) of the one blower wheel (2) relative to the spokes (32 to 35) of the other blower wheel, as seen in the axial direction (blower shaft 4) in the gaps (circumferential angle of rotation .alpha.) relative to each other in the circumferential direction.
