Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for applying an adjustable tensile-stress distribution, in particular in the edge regions during the cold-rolling of metal strips (16), in particular metal foil, in order to reduce the risk of an excessive build-up of tension and cracks at the edges of the strip, which can lead as a negative consequence to cracks in the strip and to a reduction in production, and in order to improve the surface of the strip and its planarity, even for a relatively high strip displacement speed, and also to reduce strip trimming widths.

Abstract: A device for collecting printed sheets in a certain sequence astride and atop one another to form a printed product has a saddle-shaped support supplied by a sheet feeder with printed sheets. The saddle-shaped support is arranged above a conveying device transporting the printed products to a further processing step. The saddle-shaped support has a circulating traction mechanism and driving members connected to the circulating traction mechanism. The driving members act on the printed products to convey the printed products in a direction parallel to a conveying direction of the conveying device.

Abstract: A profiled clamp with at least one profiled segment which extend successively in the circumferential direction of the clamp and are clamped by means of at least one clamping device. The profiled segments have a profile which in cross-section is essentially inversely trough-shaped or cup-shaped. When the clamp is clamped, flanges which are provided at the ends of two pipes to be connected by the clamp are pressed toward each other between diverging side walls of the profiled segments. Gaps with a bottom each are provided between adjacent profiled segments. In each gap is provided a resilient metal strip at a distance from the bottom of the gap which is greater than the thickness of the bottom of the profiled segments, wherein the metal strip extends transversely of the plane of the clamp, and wherein the metal strip is mounted through lateral arms of the metal strip at the bottom of the gap.

The retaining strip (11) extends in an essentially parallel manner in relation to the frame part (7;8) of the roof stand (3) when in a connecting position and is retained thereon. The invention is characterised in that that the retaining strip (11) can be connected to the frame part (7;8) due to displacement thereof using a displacement component (15) extending parallel to the extension thereof.

Said device (1) comprises a feed unit (2) for material components, at least one purification unit (4) for the flowing melt, in particular a rotatable screening disc (5), and at least one sensor unit (17; 18; 19; 20; 21) for detecting one or more process parameters. The operation of the purification unit (4) can be influenced with the aid of said sensor unit, based on the filter-specific process data. The inventive device is configured in such a way that at least the type and dosage of the process materials that are supplied via the feed unit (2) and/or the processing parameters of said process materials can be controlled using the detected (17; 18; 19; 20; 21) process parameters and/or the filter-specific process data.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for deflecting sections of strip, in particular metal strip, in a coiling plant, from a beginning guide channel (1) to an end guide channel (2) and vice-versa, comprising a driver (3) with a pair of driver rollers (4, 4?) and control elements arranged downstream in strip conveyance direction, comprising a switch (5) that can be swiveled towards the beginning guide channel (1) or the end guide channel (2), and a guide table (6) which is swivelably supported under the switch (5) and positionable as a wiper against the lower driver roller (4?).

Abstract: A conveyance device for the pressing of glued spines of a book block for books, in which the book blocks, with their spines directed downward, pass through a pressing section that reduces the spine swell. The book blocks, gripped between working pieces of revolving traction elements, pass through the pressing section, which acts on the sidepieces of the book spine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tarpaulin mounting frame, in particular for a truck or a truck trailer comprising a chassis profile (4) and an anchor profile (5) which is provided with a round foot (17, 17?) on the longitudinal edge thereof oriented towards the tarpaulin (19). Said foot is insertable or introducible in one or several round slots (16, 16?) of the chassis profile (4) or an intermediate profile (35) connected thereto. The anchor profile (5) is arranged in a parallel direction with respect to the tensed tarpaulin by rotating around the foot thereof (17, 17?). The anchor profile (5) or weatherstrip profile (26), which is connected in such a way that it is displaceable, is provided with at least one weather-strip reception device (22). Said invention is characterized in that the anchor profile (5) contacts the chassis profile (4) or the intermediate profile (35) connected thereto between the foot (17, 17?) of the anchor profile (5) and the weather-strip reception device (22).

The driving device has a driving motor (21) with a drive shaft (22) running in cutting head longitudinal axis (L), a cam disk actively connected with the drive shaft (22) of the driving motor (21), driven rotating about the drive shaft longitudinal axis (L2), with control surfaces (40, 41) configured on the side (25a) opposed to the driving motor (21) and lying in different planes, a roller (26) actively connected with one of the control surfaces (40. 41) of the cam disk (25), a lifting rod or tappet push rod (45) actuated by means of a spring (27) which is actively connected with the roller (26) and the cam disk (25) over a coupling piece (46) and which carries at its free end (45a) the blade holder (30) for the cutting knife (25).

Abstract: The method and the apparatus disclosed serve to acquire seismic induced movements. A coil and a permanent magnet are contained in an enclosure and the seismic movements induce a relative movement between said coil and said magnet. The current induced into the coil is appraised as a measure of said seismic movement. The position of the coil in relation to the permanent magnet is monitored by a position sensor. A closed loop control generates a current that is fed into the coil so that the coil settles at a given neutral position relative to the permanent magnet.

Abstract: A transporting mechanism includes a link chain and clamps which are attached to a chain link of the link chain and which are capable of gripping at least one printed product. At least two clamps are attached to each chain link of the link chain, wherein the clamps in the link chain are spaced apart from one another by equal spacings.

Abstract: A molded plastic holder for printed material includes a substantially flat support panel which is designed to be mounted to any vertical surface. Molded as part of and integrally joined to the support panel along a lower edge is a first curved clip which curves outwardly at its base so as to provide a clearance space to receive the material and then extends inwardly in order to create a pressure point which presses against any material placed in the holder in order to retain the material securely in place. Also molded as part of and integrally joined to the support panel is a second curved clip of virtually identical construction to the first curved clip. The clips each have an inherent spring tension which allows each clip to be easily pulled forward for the insertion of material into the holder and to spring back to apply the desired holding force. Snap-on legs are used when the holder is to be table-mounted.
