Abstract: A fence or railing is disclosed which comprises a generally square vertical post formed, along each outer wall, with a U-shaped channel running its full length; the sidewalls of the channels defining two guide slots and the post further having a non-circular central open-ended bore. This central bore slidably and snugly receives, at its lower end, a pedestal which is fixed to a base plate. Mounted on the post is one end of an area-separation section made up of a top and a bottom horizontal rail interconnected by spaced vertical struts. The ends of the rails are inserted into one of the post channels and kept apart by flat spacer elements of identical constant cross-sections and lateral wings slid in the guide slots of the post channel. One spacer element keeps the bottom rail away from the base plate while a second spacer element separates the two rails from one another.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for measuring the torque passed through a rotatable machine element, in which two parts connected to this machine element rotate relative to one another. This relative rotation is translated into an amplified axial movement, and the axial movement is measured as a standard for the transmitted torque.

Abstract: An electromagnetically actuatable fuel injection valve which serves to supply fuel to a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine having externally supplied ignition. The fuel injection valve includes a valve housing with a mouth piece in which a valve seat body is disposed, two magnet coils two cores and one armature, which has a spherical guide section and is connected to a valve needle. The spherical guide section is slidably supported with its circumference in a guide bore of the valve seat body and in its stroke movement away from the core is limited by a tapering stop opening which adjoins the guide bore. A plastic bushing is mounted on a guide step of the valve seat body and is pressed by a spring against the core end face, thereby preventing a dirct flow of fuel to the remnant air gap on the armature, as a result of which the depositing of soil particles in the gap is avoided.

Abstract: In a so-called starting aid for motor vehicles, synchronism in the rpm of the drive wheels during starting is provided by feeding a brake pressure derived from the rpm difference of the drive wheels into the wheel brake cylinder associated with the wheel having the higher rpm. To this end, one brake pressure controller having a control piston and a valve is installed in each brake line to the wheel brake cylinders of at least two wheel brakes. The control pistons are actuated in opposite directions via a final control element to which a control signal derived from the rpm difference is supplied. Upon displacement, whichever control piston is driven closes the valve and feeds brake pressure into the associated wheel brake cylinder. In order that the starting aid will have a high control speed and a small structural volume, the final control element is embodied as an electric control motor.

On its lower end, the filling filter is provided with a throttle bore located near the minimum allowable fill level and in a region near the maximum fill level, it is provided with filter windows for the sake of rapid filling of the housing with fluid.

Abstract: An apparatus for determining the flow rate of a flowing medium having a substrate fastened at one end with a resistor arrangement disposed on the substrate which includes a layer-like measuring resistor (R.sub.S) and a layer-like heating resistor (R.sub.H). The heating output is regulated such that the measuring resistor (R.sub.S) has a constant electrical resistance, representing a flow rate of the flowing medium. By suitable provisions, such as a meandering pattern for the heating resistor (R.sub.H), the local resistance of the heating resistor (R.sub.H) crosswise to the flow direction is made to decrease toward the fastened end. Thus, the temperature generated by means of the heating resistor (R.sub.H) inside the substrate and the measuring resistor (R.sub.S) decreases toward the fastened end.

Abstract: An apparatus for damping courses of motion in particular for damping resilient wheel suspension systems in vehicles, having a damping piston that is displaceable inside a jacket tube which separates two work chambers and is connected to a piston rod. Between the work chambers there are flow connections, through which a flow is possible in only one direction, because of a unilateral actuation direction of separate check valves. The flow connections have throttle cross sections the size of which is definable by the position of a control slide inside a guide bore. The control slide is actuated via a control rod leading outside the jacket tube and is movable with two degrees of freedom. A motion in the direction of the first degree of freedom varies the throttle cross sections in the same direction, while a motion of the control slide in the direction of the second degree of freedom varies the throttle cross sections in opposite directions.

Abstract: An electromagnetic valve consists of two valve housing parts, connected by crimping and axially braced, and having a magnetic pipe care therein. A flat armature is positively connected with a spherically shaped valve closing part, which extends through a central opening in a guide membrane for cooperation with a valve seat. The guide membrane rests via an outer circumference on a collar and is supported there via the axial tensioning force between the valve housing parts in assembled form. The guide membrane is welded to the collar on the outer circumference upon at least two points. Before the valve housing parts are combined, the guide membrane, abutting the collar, in concentrically guided into position by a centering body, having a slightly larger diameter than the valve closing part, on the valve seat and is welded at said points in this position. Thereupon the centering body is removed and the actual assembly of the valve is performed.

Abstract: A plunger system in a brake line between a master brake cylinder and a wheel brake cylinder of a vehicle, for modulating a brake pressure in the event of a sensor-detected danger of wheel locking or wheel spinning. The plunger system has a plunger that is axially displaceable in a housing. At one end, the plunger engages a variable pressure chamber toward the master brake cylinder and at the other it engages a variable pressure chamber toward the wheel brake cylinder. It has an axial bore, through which a rod passes, between the two pressure chambers, and this bore can be closed on opposite ends if there is a danger of wheel locking or if wheel spinning occurs. The closure of the axial bore is effected by an axial motion of the plunger, which takes place if the wheels lock, on the one hand, and if they spin, on the other.
