Patent number: 4951448Abstract: This invention refers to a mechanism for the production of rolls of coins, with a feeding track for horizontal coins. A tilting station is provided to put the coin into an upright position, and a wrapping station is provided to form rolls of coins out of the stacks of vertical coins.In order to increase the amount of coins to be gathered into stacks of coins and wrapped as rolls of coins, per time unit, and in order to reduce the size of the mechanism the invention provides a tilting station consisting of two parallel tracks which connect to a feeding track. The parallel tracks are spaced a distance from each other which is slightly less than the diameter of the coins. A coin retainer is provided with an angled surface spanning the transportation direction of the coins. The coin retainer is mounted so that it can be swivelled against the transportation direction of the coins.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 1989Date of Patent: August 28, 1990Assignee: F.

Patent number: 4953054Abstract: A circuit arrangement for protection against fault currents in power supplies, having an energy storage means, such as frequency converters for the operation of three-phase motors. The arrangement comprises two identical detector windings in the supply lines leading to the power supply so that a differential current detector winding connected with such detector windings causes a circuit breaker device to be actuated when a given value is exceeded. This circuit breaker device interrupts all the supply lines between the power supply and a load connected therewith by means of switching paths. This ensures that despite the energy stored in the power supply there is rapid and reliable switching off of the load should a fault current occur.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 1988Date of Patent: August 28, 1990Inventors: Gerhard Fetzer, Axel Behrens

Patent number: 4946747Abstract: Machine elements formed which overcome the problems associated with rolling bearings or rolling drive units, which, apart from load under rolling are simultaneously exposed to frictional load, which leads in particular zones to frictional wear. In order to keep this to a minimum the invention teaches to apply on the effected surfaces of such structural parts a coating of a friction bearing material, which, however, according to the findings of the invention must be applied with the PVD method and must have a thickness of the order of magnitude of the surface roughness of the base body; known thicker friction bearing coatings are not suitable. The invention is especially for forming gear wheels, rolling bearings, shafts, compressor screws, and rolling pistons.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 1988Date of Patent: August 7, 1990Assignee: Balzers AGInventors: Erich Bergmann, Manfred Berger

Patent number: 4944445Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for automatically joining and matching assemblies consisting of several components each and retained on a workpiece carrier (4) in a transfer line with retoolable machining stations (3). In the machining station (3), the assembly components are first taken off the workpiece carrier, brought into the joining position relative to each other, retained there and machined, in particular tacked or finish-welded. To carry out these various activities and to make the machining station highly flexible, the latter has several tool carriers (22, 23) which can move in at least three axes. The tool carriers (22, 23) are each disposed in a parallel plane above or below the workpiece carrier (4) so they can travel freely. The tool carriers (22, 23) support individual tools which they can change automatically at stationary or movable tool magazines (31, 33, 34).Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 1989Date of Patent: July 31, 1990Assignee: Kuka Schweissanlagen & Roboter GmbHInventor: Ernst Zimmer
