Patent number: 6263771Abstract: The invention relates to a force transmission structure especially for a screwing wrench with multiple corners. The invention is configured for an inner multiple cornered mating profile especially for a screw with a six cornered inner case profile. The force transmission structure is constructed with equal multiple corners whose flanks border one another in a circumferential direction. The diameter contour line of each flank possesses two convex curvature lines which are interspaced and the interspacing area recoils between the curvature lines and connecting tangent lines, the tangent lines consisting of both crowns of the convex curvature lines. In order to transmit high levels of torque, the invention provides that the section of the curvature lines between the crowns and the multiple corners is either rectilinear of its curvature is flatter than that of the convex curvature line.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2000Date of Patent: July 24, 2001Assignee: Wera-Werk Hermann Werner GmbH & Co.Inventor: Martin Strauch

Patent number: 5791055Abstract: A handle on blades of knives, or the like, with a cross section which is substantially elliptical over its entire length and having the longer axis of the ellipse in the plane of the knife blade. The cross section reduces towards both ends of the handle in such a manner that the two ellipse axes of the ellipse cross sections of the offset end of the handle and of the free end of the handle are shortened by approximately the same amount. In this connection the two more narrowly curved ellipse arcs develop two vertex lines extending in longitudinal direction and lying in the plane of the knife blade.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 1996Date of Patent: August 11, 1998Assignee: Zwilling J.A.

Patent number: 5153025Abstract: There is disclosed a method for the continuous marking of electric strands with which annular markings, which are limited in axial direction, are applied to the surface of the strands by means of color jets. The color jets emerge under pressure from at least one nozzle which is driven by an electrical oscillation system, the frequency of which is controlled proportionally to a rate of withdrawal of the strands. For an easy changing of the axial distance between the markings, square pulses are fed to the oscillation system from a converter which converts electrical d.c. voltage into a square waveform signal at a specific frequency. The square waveform drives the oscillation system at the specific frequency. As a desired value, the converter is fed a d.c. voltage which is proportional to the rate of withdrawal of the strand.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 1990Date of Patent: October 6, 1992Assignee: Kabelmetal Electro Gesellschaft mit beschrankter HaftungInventors: Wolfram Klebl, Rainer Brunn
