Patent number: 8850861Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a circular cylindrical body (10) comprising a workable mass, having at least one helical internal cavity extending in the interior of the body. The body (10) is initially produced with a straight internal recess, for example by means of extrusion. Afterwards the body is cut to a defined length. The body (10) that has been cut to length is then subjected to a rolling process by means of a friction surface arrangement (23) while being supported over the entire length thereof on a support means (16). The rolling process takes place in multiple steps, wherein a rolling movement using a first axis of rotation (25) is performed in a first step, and a rolling movement using a second axis of rotation (26) that is different from the first axis of rotation is used in a second step. The invention also relates to an apparatus for performing the method.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2009Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Inventor: Arno Friedrichs

Patent number: 7007533Abstract: The invention relates to a device called a rotating head which is used to deform the edge of the points or nibs of ball-point pens. The inventive device has two rotating rolls which are installed so that they can pivot freely in the rotating head. The rotating rolls can turn freely around aligned axes. The rolls each have forming disks and are arranged to define a gap between the front surfaces of the forming disks. A tongue having a V-shaped end face is disposed in the gaps and can be moved against a spring. The tongue engages a tip ball in a nib positioned between the rotating rolls to be formed into a finished nib.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2004Date of Patent: March 7, 2006Assignee: Société BicInventors: David Schmitz, Anne Schmitz

Patent number: 6112566Abstract: A method of rolling rod-shaped rolling stock, particularly rod steel or wire, in a roll stand having two work rolls which are adjustable relative to each other in an adjusting direction and which together form a roll groove with an actual roll gap, so that the rolling stock exits the roll stand with an actual height and an actual width at a rolling speed, wherein the rolling stock is rolled with an actual rolling force. The method includes the steps of adjusting the work rolls through a hydraulic cylinder unit; measuring the actual rolling force; measuring with the aid of the actual rolling force a roll gap spring-back resulting from the rolling force; determining with the aid of the roll gap spring-back and a desired roll gap a roll adjustment correction value such that the actual roll gap approaches the desired roll gap; and changing a roll adjustment within a stand control time by the roll adjustment correction value.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 1999Date of Patent: September 5, 2000Assignee: SMS Schloemann-Siemag AktiengesellschaftInventors: Otmar Palzer, Lutz Broll

Patent number: 6055834Abstract: A method to control the drawing of rolled stock in a segment of the rolling line includes measuring the section of the rolled stock passing through is made by a first detector located at the outlet of the semi-finishing block and by a second detector located at the inlet to the finishing block. The method also carries out at least a measurement of the section of the rolled stock with a third detector located at the outlet of the finishing block, the drawing action being controlled and regulated by a control unit by comparing the measurements of the section at the outlet of the semi-finishing block, at the inlet to the finishing block and at the outlet thereof with the corresponding values memorized in tables in the control unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 1998Date of Patent: May 2, 2000Assignee: Centro Automation SpAInventors: Ferruccio Della Vedova, Lorenzo Ciani, Paolo Chiaruttini

Patent number: 6047578Abstract: A roll pass of a roll set having three rolls for a multi-stand mandrel-free stretch reducing mill has a roll pass shape that deviates from the circular. A tube is passed in its longitudinal direction through the non-circular roll pass shape enabling modification of a shape of a cross-section of the tube, so as to counteract the non-circular external diameter deviations of the tube. A final roll pass (finishing pass) of the stretch reducing mill is locally enlarged at peripheral points where the tube diameter of the entering tube would otherwise deviate downward from a target size and locally reduced in size at the peripheral points where the tube diameter would otherwise deviate upward from the target size.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 1998Date of Patent: April 11, 2000Assignee: Mannesmann AGInventor: Peter Thieven

Patent number: 5794473Abstract: A method of regulating the cross-section of rolling stock through a looper for the rolling stock, particularly between roll stands in section rolling mills. In accordance with the method, the horizontal forces in the rolling stock are varied by varying the loop height, and width increases or width adjustments of the rolling stock are purposefully influenced through the horizontal forces.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 1996Date of Patent: August 18, 1998Assignee: SMS Schloemann-Siemag AktiengesellschaftInventor: Otmar Palzer

Patent number: 5619880Abstract: The rotational speed of the rolls of a rolling mill is controlled such that the loops of rolled material between two roll stands have a constant height. The last roll stand in the direction of rolling preferably acts as a guide roller stand, whose speed is controlled. The loop height is controlled by adjusting the rotational speed of the roll stand ahead of the loop.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 1995Date of Patent: April 15, 1997Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Herbert Polster, Harald Bax

Patent number: 4870848Abstract: A machine and process for forming a high strength precision bar joint and more particularly for forming rolled tapered threads on a bar end such as the tapered end of a reinforcing bar used in concrete construction. Such machine and process employs opposed oppositely rotating die disks which have conical opposed die surfaces. A thread form die is provided on the conical die surfaces in the form of thread form spirals which bear against the opposite sides of the tapered bar surface as the die disks rotate. The die surfaces include opposed recesses into which the bar end is inserted. The bar may be held for rotation against a stop as the die disks oppositely rotate. Alternatively the bar end may be held against rotation and the die disks orbited around the bar end as the die disks oppositely rotate. A tapered surface is formed on the bar end prior to roll forming of such threads as by hot or cold forging or by cutting.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1988Date of Patent: October 3, 1989Assignee: Erico International CorporationInventors: Anton M.
