Patent number: 8465070Abstract: Container clamp grip for a container transport system having two grip arms that can be swiveled about one or about two axles between a grip position and a release position, the two grip arms being applied with springiness in the direction toward the grip or toward the release position by a force storing unit presenting at least one pair of mutually repelling permanent magnets. The container clamp grip is controlled by a control cam. In the container grip position, a first air gap is provided between the permanent magnets, and in an extreme closed position of the clamp grip, if there is no container, a second, smaller air gap is provided between the permanent magnets.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2012Date of Patent: June 18, 2013Assignee: Krones AGInventors: Erwin Knieling, Walter Neumayer

Patent number: 8424575Abstract: An apparatus for filling containers with liquid and in particular viscous media, comprising a filling element which can be introduced at least partially into a mouth of the container to be filled, wherein a filling body of this filling element is configured in such a way that the medium is directed at least also onto a wall of the container, comprising a connecting line for conveying the liquid medium from a reservoir for the liquid medium to the container, wherein the filling element is movable relative to the container in a longitudinal direction (L) of the container. According to the invention, the filling element is movable in the longitudinal direction (L) of the container.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2009Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Krones AGInventor: Walter Neumayer

Publication number: 20120326460Abstract: A clamp grip for a container transport system including rare earth permanent magnets encapsulated in non-magnetic material such as high quality steel. Flexible positioning of the magnets allow for adapting to varied design specifications. A rotatable control cam or cams may be used to adjust grip arms between a grip and a release position. Air gap distances between permanent magnets may be designed to maximize repelling force to assist in the functioning of clamp grip mechanism.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2012Publication date: December 27, 2012Applicant: KRONES AGInventors: Erwin Knieling, Walter Neumayer
