  • Patent number: 7886457
    Abstract: An apparatus for cooling bulk material with a grate flowed through by cooling gas. The apparatus comprises a plurality of planks configured to move forward and back in the direction of conveyance and, between the planks, a sealing device having spatially separate outer and inner sealing elements. The sealing device has between the sealing elements a conveying duct, which runs along the length of the planks and on which a gas supply is configured to produce a gas stream along the length of the conveying duct. Bulk material which has infiltrated through the outer sealing element can be transported away before it can reach and migrate through the inner sealing element. The accompanying sealing effect can considerably reduce the undesirable material through-fall, while enabling the use of low-wearing seals, which provide excellent wear resistance.

  • Patent number: 7009290
    Abstract: A heat sink for semiconductor components or similar devices, especially produced from an extruded aluminum alloy. The heat sink comprises cooling ribs which rise at a distance from a base plate and which are clamped in an insert groove made in the surface of the base plate, laterally limited by longitudinal or intermediate ribs with a coupling base that has an approximately rectangular cross-section. The coupling bases are held in their insert grooves in a form-fit and are cold-welded with the base plate at least in some sections. Cross ribs extend at a distance to one another on the surfaces of the intermediate ribs and have the form of upset heels that are linked with the coupling base in a form-fit.

  • Patent number: 6571859
    Abstract: A heat sink of metal material, in particular a light metal alloy, for semi-conductor elements or similar components, has plate-like cooling ribs projecting from a base plate at intervals (f) and approximately parallel to each other, protrude with a connection strip into the base plate in which they are cast. A molding tool designed for production of the heat sink includes a casting mold with a mold chamber for the base plate. The mold chamber contains an area to receive the connection strips of the cooling ribs. Two parallel side walls of the casting mold and intermediate layers arranged parallel between them, each defining a receiver gap, are arranged displaceably on at least one shaft passing through them. The walls can be moved to produce the compact casting mold after insertion of the cooling ribs in the receiver gaps.

  • Patent number: 6318529
    Abstract: A conductor rail having a rail-like support section made of metallic material, in particular a support section which is I-shaped in cross-section, and which has at least one other component of another metal attached to it, has a light metal body acting as conductor section—in particular an extruded section of an aluminium alloy—mounted in at least one of the side channels of a ferrous support section, the component of higher strength material covering the outwards facing surface of the conductor section. This conductor section is fitted by mechanical locking into the side channel, the light metal body of the conductor section may reside in the side channel under compression.

  • Patent number: 6012627
    Abstract: A composite section features a base of light-weight metallic material as section component and at least one further profiled section component, in particular a profiled strip of another metallic material which is joined metallically as a surface layer to the base section during an extrusion process. Projecting out of the inner-lying face of the profiled strip and directed at the base is at least one projection and/or an additional element which are/is embedded in the base. Each additional element may delimit an undercut space which is filled in an interlocking manner by metallic material of the base.
