Patent number: 10509207Abstract: A camera system for a vehicle comprising a capturing unit which comprises an optical element and image sensor with surface, to capture a section of a vehicle environment. The optical element has a distortion curve r=f(?), wherein r is the distance between an object point displayed on the image sensor surface and the intersection point of the optical axis with the image sensor surface, and ? is the angle between the optical axis of the optical element and the beam incident on the optical element from the object point. The distortion curve r=f(?) has, for rw=f (?w) within 0<r<rmax, a turning point ?w; rw, for which r?=f?(?w)=d2r/d?2 (?w)=0 applies, wherein rmax is the distance r=f(?max) on the image sensor surface from the optical axis to the most distant edge of the image sensor.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2018Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: MEKRA LANG GMBH & CO.

Patent number: 5203758Abstract: This invention relates to a method for manufacturing a sack or bag with a bottom being rectangular in the filled state and with a handle portion, and it also relates to sacks or bags manufactured in accordance with this method. For the solution of the problem to simplify already known methods, onto a continuously advanced flat web two strips of sealing-wax which are in parallel to each other and perpendicular to the lateral edges are applied on one side at distances of one bag length, respectively, and at corresponding locations of the back side of the flat web four short strips of sealing-wax are applied, and between the strips of sealing-wax two reinforcements are glued thereto with their whole surface. Below the first reinforcement a folded sheet with a leg is glued, whereas the other leg is folded back thereonto. Below the second reinforcement an area is provided with glue which in size corresponds to the leg. On one side of the flat web an adhesive strip is applied.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 1992Date of Patent: April 20, 1993Assignee: Windmoller & HolscherInventors: Fritz Achelpohl, Werner Jurgens

Patent number: 5102383Abstract: A method for manufacturing a sack or bag with a bottom being rectangular in the filled state and a handle portion joined thereto. An economical method for production by machine, according to the invention includes the following steps carried out sequently. A flattened tube piece (10) is provided with two slits at one end. The slits are substantially parallel to each other and to the lateral edges of the tube. Then a bottom square is formed by folding the tube piece near the slit end with corner tucks (14) and side tucks (16, 18). A prefabricated handle portion (22), including a reinforcing strip (24) and a connection strip (26) is glued or welded such that an edge portion (20) of one side tuck (16) is not covered by the prefabricated handle portion. Subsequently, such side tuck (16) and the corner tucks (14) are folded along a fold line (28) extending through the center of the corner tucks (14) and the uncovered edge portion (20) is glued or welded to the corresponding adjacent section of the handle portion.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 1991Date of Patent: April 7, 1992Assignee: Windnoller & HolscherInventors: Fritz Achelpohl, Werner Jurgens
