The side reel mower units and center reel mower unit have reels driven by reel drives under control of a control mechanism. A forcible stopping device is provided for forcibly stopping the reel drives of the reel mower units with priority over control of the reel drives by the control mechanism when the side reel mower units and center reel mower unit are all in the upper positions.

Abstract: A fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines with an injection port disk disposed in a longitudinal opening of a valve housing, which prevents deposits from forming due to evaporation of the fuel remaining at the injection ports after the engine is switched off. A gap disk is therefore disposed downstream of the injection port disk in the longitudinal opening of the valve housing with a slight axial spacing; the gap disk defines a recess in the axial direction which exerts a capillary action outward in the radial direction upon the fuel emerging at the injection ports. By disposing a capillary disk between the injection port disk and the gap disk, the capillary action can be optimized by means of corresponding contours in the capillary disk. The fuel injection valve is particularly suited for fuel injection in mixture-compressing engines with externally supplied ignition.

Abstract: A filling machine for filling liquid into containers (10) has a filling valve (25) for each container (10), which valve is actuated by a control device (19) by means of a trigger pulse (Z). In order to increase the precision of the liquid quantity (M (is)) filled into the containers (10) with regard to a desired fill quantity (M), it is proposed that the control device (19) adds up partial volumes (.DELTA.M), which are produced as a function of liquid pressures (P1) measured, the time intervals (.DELTA.t) between the individual pressure measurements, and a pressure/through flow characteristic curve of the filling valves (25). As soon as the sum of the partial volumes (.DELTA.M) has exceeded a limit fill quantity (M (max)), the control device (19) stops the trigger signal (Z).

Abstract: The invention relates to a unit for a pneumatic brake system for a utility vehicle, which has a valve block into which magnet valves are inserted. To secure the magnet valves on the valve block, the unit includes a retaining plate which is secured to the valve block and which has spring elements integral with it the retaining plate presses the magnet valves into valve receptacles of the valve block. The unit has the advantage that the retaining plate balances out tolerances in the manufacture of the valve block and the production of the magnet valves. In a further feature, the unit mounts pressure sensors on the valve block in a same manner as the magnet valves.

Abstract: An apparatus for metering and introducing a liquid into packaging containers has a liquid-introducing device with liquid-introducing heads, which are connected to a supply container via a distributor. Arranged in the distributor are a pressure sensor, which determines a pressure (P1) prevailing in the liquid, and, if appropriate, a temperature sensor. The pressure and temperature are sensors connected to a control device to permit, together with two weighing devices, likewise connected to the control device, a precise weight regulation of a desired filling quantity (M) to be introduced into the packaging containers. The arrangement and design of the pressure and temperature sensors makes possible precise metering of the desired filling quantity (M) and simple exchange of the supply container.

Abstract: A fuel injection valve comprising a front attachment in whose wall a blocking element is displaceably supported; on its slide segment toward an air chamber, the pressure in the inlet tube upstream of a throttle valve prevails, while in the opposite direction the intake tube pressure downstream of the throttle valve is operative. If there is a sufficient pressure difference, the blocking element is displaced to the left far enough that it blocks at least one injection port on the fuel injection valve and blocks one guide conduit in the front attachment. As a result, only the one open inlet valve of one cylinder of the engine is supplied with fuel, via the at least one open injection port and the open guide conduit. The fuel injection valve is especially suitable for fuel injection in mixture-compressing internal combustion engines with externally supplied ignition.

Abstract: A crimping station of a motor-driven portable crimper (A) has a movable head driven by a motor (M) to reciprocate straight towards and away from a fixed anvil. An automatic switch will automatically stop the motor upon detection of the movable head retracted from or having approached the anvil, so that the head and other members stand still for a while relative to the fixed anvil to allow the wire end to be inserted readily into the contact and then the contact thus crimped can easily be withdrawn from the crimping station. A manual switch is operable to restart the motor and resume the crimping process. A blind plate attached to and outside the frame is disposed near the crimping station so as to inhibit a user from erroneously inserting wire ends to the contacts which have not arrived at the station.

Abstract: A valve which has a dirt filter that is accommodated in a chamber between an electromagnet valve and an inflow adapter in a valve housing. The valve is suitable for metered introduction of volatilized fuel from a fuel tank into an intake tube of a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine with externally supplied ignition.

Abstract: A magnetic valve that switches at high differential pressures and furnishes a large flow cross section. The magnetic valve has an armature, which when current is supplied to a coil is movable toward a pole core counter to the force of a restoring spring. The armature is capable of opening an auxiliary valve of small sealing diameter directly and a main valve of large sealing diameter indirectly. The auxiliary valve and the main valve have a common closing body, which is movable relative to the armature with a limited stroke. The auxiliary valve communicates through a bore of the closing body with the outflow side of the magnetic valve. In the open position of the magnetic valve, the closing body is held in a position that blocks the auxiliary valve by the action of the second restoring spring. The magnetic valve is suitable in particular for slip-controlled hydraulic brake systems of motor vehicles.

The system has a valve that can be connected to an intake tube of the engine via a connecting line that is attached to the valve and to the fuel tank via a tank line. The tank line is attached to a housing of the adsorption filter and the valve is secured on the housing of the adsorption filter so that the valve can be slid into an opening provided in the housing. The adsorption filter according to the invention is suited for a fuel vapor retention system, for mixture compressing internal combustion engines with externally supplied ignition.

Abstract: An electrically controlled valve which is used for controlling the opening area of a connection between a high pressure chamber and a low pressure chamber. The valve is embodied as a solenoid valve and has a valve seat on which a deflection point is provided downstream of a downstream edge of the valve member in the through flow direction. By means of a flow deflection, the fluid passing through is conveyed against an annular face provided on a valve member. The resulting pressure accelerates the opening of the valve. The solenoid valve is designated for use in fuel injection pumps in motor vehicles.

Abstract: A fuel injection for internal combustion engines, having a valve member which is guided so that it moves axially in a valve body and uses a sealing face provided on a combustion chamber end to open and close an injection opening on the valve body. A piezoelectric actuator includes a piezoelectric stack, which changes in length with the action of a control voltage, is coupled to the combustion chamber end of the valve member to actuate the valve member. In order to prevent an interference with a precise adjustment motion of the valve member of an unwanted length change in the piezoelectric stack, a clamping device is provided which fixes the end of the piezoelectric stack remote from the valve member in its axial position during the injection phase of the fuel injection valve, and permits an axial compensation for play at the piezoelectric stack during an injection pause.

Abstract: A reel for transporting elongate articles has a pair of discs (2) connected to each other by a hub (3) disposed between the discs. L-shaped hooks (8) are formed integral with the hub, and their heads protrude from each of its open ends to engage with slots formed in each disc. Bodies (9a) of resilient pawls (9) for each disc extend from the outer periphery of the hub's internal cylinder (5). Each pawl (9) has a locking end located near and inside the hub's external cylinder (4) at each open end, and the end can rock in axial direction. Stoppers (9A) protruding from the external cylinder are located adjacent to the locking ends so as to inhibit them from rocking in an undesired circular direction. Slots (10) and apertures (11) formed in each disc engage with the hooks (8) and pawls (9), respectively, so that the reel can be assembled and disassembled easily and readily, ensuring a reliable engagement of the discs with the hub during repeated use.

Abstract: A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines, which includes at least one pump piston driven by a cam drive mechanism to carry out a feed stroke and an intake stroke. The pump includes a fuel filled storage chamber that is under storage pressure and is for aspirating fuel in the intake stroke and for feeding excess fuel at the end of the feed stroke to a tank. A fluid filled drive mechanism chamber under lubrication pressure, contains the cam drive mechanism and is divided from the intake chamber by a movable wall. A vacuum chamber is disposed in the fluid filled drive mechanism chamber in order to damp pressure oscillations in the drive mechanism chamber, the vacuum chamber is at least partially defined by a membrane that is acted upon by the lubrication pressure. The rigidity of the membrane is designed so that its effectiveness comes into play only when there is a pressure load that is slightly greater than the stationary lubrication pressure in the drive mechanism chamber (22).

Abstract: An electromagnetically actuatable valve that reduces the locking force of the valve has a seat valve, which can be transferred to a closing position counter to the force of a prestressed restoring spring. A valve seat communicates with an inflow side, and a closing member disposed on a tappet communicates on the outflow side of the valve. A magnet armature cooperates with the tappet in a valve dome which communicates with the outflow side. The magnet armature and the tappet are two separate components which positively support one another. On the inflow side, a longitudinal bore of the tappet originates at the closing member, and a first longitudinally movable pin is receive therein largely in a pressure-tight fashion. The cross section of the first pin is at least approximately equivalent to the sealing cross section of the valve seat. The longitudinal bore of the tappet is continued in the magnet armature. A second pin is received in that longitudinal bore.

Abstract: A valve is provided for a metered introduction of fuel vapor evaporated from a fuel tank of an internal combustion engine into an intake tube of the engine. A valve housing which has an inflow fitting for connection to a ventilation fitting of the fuel tank or an adsorption filter for evaporated fuel vapors. The valve housing is connected to the fuel tank and has an outflow fitting for connection to the intake tube. An armature is provided inside the valve housing in which the armature is moved by an electromagnet and which is pressed against a valve seat by a valve spring when the electromagnet is without current. The armature closes a metering opening of a flow connection from the inflow fitting to the outflow fitting, and opens this flow connection to a greater or lesser degree when the electromagnet is supplied with current, wherein the metering opening has a V-shaped cross sectional area for improved metering.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic unit for a vehicle brake system with ABS. Before being filled with brake fluid, the brake system must be evacuated in order to achieve complete bleeding. In order to evacuate a return line, which is separated from a brake line by pressure reduction magnet valves that are closed in their position of repose, it is known to provide a connecting line with a check valve between the brake line and the return line. The hydraulic unit connects the check valves in parallel to the magnet valves and integrates the check valves with the magnet valves. This simplifies assembly. Since no additional holes and conduits in the hydraulic unit are necessary, existing hydraulic units can be used.

Abstract: A fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines has a holding body with a protruding fixed nozzle needle whose terminal portion, has a valve cone, an annular valve diaphragm cooperates in valve-like fashion. The valve diaphragm is fastened by its outer peripheral portion against the holding body with a union nut, and the edge surrounding the opening is resiliently pressed with initial tension against the valve cone. In order to keep the strains occurring in the stroke, generated by bending, of the valve diaphragm low over its entire region, the valve diaphragm has a bulge oriented counter to the stroke direction. The bulge is preferably composed of an annular region of steep slope (.alpha.) adjoining the fastened outer peripheral region, and an annular region of flat slope (.beta.) extending from it toward the opening. The bulge may also be conical or dome-shaped.
