Abstract: There are arranged at a magnetic trigger for a selectively operative switch, a plunger-type armature, a pivotable armature and a tripping device. A plunger of the plunger-type armature acts directly upon a movable contact of a pair of contacts and the plunger-type armature is actuated using a magnetic coil or winding when the current flowing through the magnetic coil at least corresponds to a predetermined threshold current for opening the contacts. A pivotable armature is actuated by the plunger-type armature and redirects the magnetic return flux. The tripping device acts upon a switch lock mechanism and is switched into or out of the magnetic return flux by the plunger-type armature. The degree of overlap between pole shoes of the pivotable armature and of the tripping device is preselectable by an adjusting screw. There is thus realized a current-dependent, selective tripping of the switch lock mechanism.

Abstract: The embroidery machine encompasses a large number of embroidery locations equipped with displaceably guided embroidery needles for the embroidery threads. These embroidery threads partially wrap about adjacently situated, conjointly to-and-fro oscillating thread guides of a thread delivery device in order to respectively accomplish the thread advance and thread retraction. At the region of the thread guides there is arranged a thread guide and clamping device comprising adjacently mounted guide elements located in a row upon a machine-fixed holder rail. These guide elements correspond in number to the number of embroidery locations and are constructed for guiding the threads, for clamping of the threads and for the cutting of the threads.

Abstract: A circulatingly driven processing drum comprises radially arranged, outwardly open compartments into which there are to be introduced printed products. These printed products are delivered in a suspended orientation. A substantially linear, horizontally oriented transporting or conveying arrangement serves this purpose. This transporting or conveying arrangement has grippers arranged at predetermined intervals which hold the printed products at the upper end of their side edges. Below the transporting or conveying arrangement and ahead or upstream of the processing drum or cylinder there is arranged at least on circulatingly driven conveyor belt which contacts the lower side edges of the printed products, thus stabilizing the printed products in their suspended orientation. The delivered printed products are introduced with their lower side edges leading into the compartments of the processing drum or cylinder. Delivering the printing products in a vertically suspended position permits high processing speeds.

Abstract: Each transport device contains at least two drive wheels which are driven at individual speeds V.sub.A and V.sub.B and which are pivotable by related steering angles .alpha. and .beta.. Identical servo-drive units are associated with the drive wheels and their mode of operation and mutual coupling is adapted by switch devices to the steering angles .alpha. and .beta. such that the required speed adjustment must not be computed in accordance with the relationship V.sub.B =(cos.alpha./cos.beta.). V.sub.A but the speed is automatically adjusted through the entire steering angle range of -90.degree. to +90.degree.. At .alpha.=.beta.=0.degree. the leading servo-drive unit is rigidly guided by its speed regulation loop as a MASTER servo-drive unit and its armature current is supplied as a reference magnitude to the armature current regulation loop of the trailing servo-drive unit which is operated as a SLAVE servo-drive unit. At .alpha.=.beta.=.+-.90.degree.

Abstract: A static converter circuit has a voltage summing transformer (Tr-Tr13) with several part transformers (Tr1-Tr13) the static-converter-side winding of which are connected via one four-quadrant actuator each to a direct-voltage link circuit. The four-quadrant actuators are single-phase bridge circuits with one GTO thyristor each and a diode, which is antiparallel thereto, per bridge branch. The static-converter-side windings of the part transformers can be short circuited in each case by means of an alternating-current circuit breaker with antiparallel-connected thyristors. Each part transformer has a separate core. The power-system-side windings of the power transformers are connected in series and are connected at their ends to a railroad power system with 162/3-Hz. The direct-voltage link circuit is connected via power-system-commutated static converters and a static converter transformer to a national power system with 50 Hz.

Abstract: This method is for finish machining the teeth of rough machined bevel gears having longitudinally curved teeth where finish machining is undertaken subsequent to case hardening. To permit economical fabrication of such bevel gears at least in mass production, the bevel gears are ground as workpieces by a tool designed as a hypoid gear and provided with at least one abrading surface on tooth flanks of its toothing. The workpiece and the tool are brought into mesh and positively and synchronously rotarily driven in the ratio of their respective tooth numbers. Displacement of the tool axis relative to the workpiece axis as well as speeds of the tool and the workpiece are selected such that a relative sliding velocity arising between the tool and the workpiece lies within the range of conventional surface speeds for grinding. All concave tooth flanks of the workpiece or all convex tooth flanks of the workpiece or both are continuously ground in a single operation with a feed motion.

Abstract: The arrangement for supplying a fiber processing machine, such as a card or the like, with fiber flock material comprises a feed device for feeding the fiber flock material to an opening roller having needles distributed over its cylindrical outer or jacket surface. In accordance with the invention, strip-shaped vanes or blades are provided on the outer or jacket surface of the opening roller. These strip-shaped vanes or blades extend substantially parallel to the surface generator lines or generatrices of the cylindrical outer or jacket surface of the opening roller and between the needles thereof. As a result of these measures there is obtained an essentially even or uniform, heavy batt with an appreciably higher batt weight in the feed chute.

Abstract: The method of manufacturing the compound camshaft comprises the steps of placing cast journal or bearing elements and/or cast cam elements on a camshaft body and fixedly connecting or securing such elements at the camshaft body. The cast journal or bearing elements and/or the cam elements contain an opening which is bounded by an internal profile or contour having a configuration which is governed by the type of connection to be made between such elements and the camshaft body. The internal profile or contour may be of a substantially conical shape and is at least partially left in a mechanically untreated condition. The compound camshaft thus obtained is optimized with respect to wear and weight and there are neither required cost-intensive and time-consuming operations, especially machining operations, nor complicated working steps during the manufacturing process.

Abstract: A gas removal apparatus for an automatic firing weapon controlled by gas pressure contains a gas removal channel structure extending from a gas removal location to a gas receiving location and exhibiting one or two gas deflection locations as well as a gas throughflow element, such as a gas nozzle or gas throttle. Both the gas deflection locations and the gas nozzle or gas throttle are in danger of being eroded by the throughflowing gas. Therefore, these elements are constructed such that the gas erosion is as small as possible. According to the invention, this is attained by guiding a gas removal channel section or portion of the gas removal channel structure through a shrunk-fitted ring which is shrunk fitted onto the weapon barrel to a gas rail, by inserting the gas nozzle or gas throttle in the shrunk-fitted ring between the shrunk-fitted ring and the gas rail and by positioning a gas deflection insert in the gas rail.

Abstract: The vehicle wheel comprises a rim containing an external closed ring and an internal rim ring composed of three segments and connected to a segmentally separated or segment-shaped divided disc. The beads of the pneumatic tire lie in grooves disposed between the external closed ring and the internal rim ring. Each of these grooves is formed by a bead seat, a vertical web and the external closed ring. Due to the internal pressure of the air in the pneumatic tire, each tire bead is drawn against clamping surfaces of the associated groove and sealed in relation to the external closed ring.

Abstract: A triggering method for a thyristor switch which has at least two thyristors wired in series and a thyristor wired in antiparallel to each of these thyristors. The thyristor switch is triggered or cut off as a function of a specifiable on-off signal. At least a single triggering of a thyristor to be switched-on takes place at the earliest if a positive anode-cathode voltage is applied to it which exceeds a specifiable switch-on voltage limiting value. The method comprises generating a trigger standby signal if the on-off signal is in the switch-on condition and, with a specifiable minimum number of thyristors to be triggered wired in series, their anode-cathode voltage is greater than the specifiable switch-on voltage limiting value. At least a single triggering of each thyristor to be switched on takes place by means of a short-duration trigger pulse only during the duration of the trigger standby signal.

Abstract: The method of fabricating a rim gear, such as a starter rim gear made of sheet metal, such as sheet steel, comprises cold forming an outer surface of a substantially cylindrical rim portion of a dished blank according to the well known Grob method to effect an external or exterior gear tooth system with proper gear or gear wheel characteristics thereon, thereby also effecting an internal or inner tooth system on the inner surface of the substantially cylindrical rim portion. This method is performed such that at the fabricated rim gear the quotient of the different between an addendum circle diameter or outer diameter of the external gear tooth system and a crown circle diameter or inner diameter of the internal tooth system divided by the wall thickness of the substantially cylindrical rim portion before the start of cold forming is at least 1.6 and that the quotient of the thinnest portion of the tooth flank wall of the fabricated rim gear divided by that wall thickness is at most 0.4.

Abstract: To install a high voltage device, particularly a high voltage breaker having two interrupting chambers and a high voltage insulator in a simple earthquake resistant manner, an end flange of the high voltage insulator on the ground potential side is rotatably suspended from the support beam of a steel frame. A vibration damper is preferably provided between the high voltage breaker and its suspension device. The vibration damper is attached to a ball received in a socket which is mounted on the support beam. The two interrupting chambers which are connected to one another in a V-shape, are connected to high voltage lines. This inverted suspension is also suitable for current and voltage transformers and overvoltage arresters.

Abstract: The retaining device comprises a holder block operatively associated with a clamping mechanism. The retaining device is displaceably and selectively securable along a guide rail by means of the holder block. A surgical instrument is carried by a support rod which is axially movable up and down and positionally securable in the clamping mechanism. The arresting of the holder block at the guide rail and the support rod in the clamping mechanism is effected by a tensioning or tightening member, such as a tensioning nut or spider acting upon both the holder block and the support rod.

Abstract: At each station of the overhead cable transport installation the vehicles which have been released or unclamped from the conveying cable are decelerated or accelerated by pneumatic wheels. Between the V-belt drive and the hub of each pneumatic wheel there is arranged a free-wheeling clutch or slip coupling equipped with a pre-biased restoring or return spring. The free-wheeling clutch transmits in one direction the torque or rotational moment from the V-belt drive to the pneumatic wheel without play. In the opposite direction such free-wheeling clutch rotates against the restoring moment of the pre-biased restoring spring. As a result there is eliminated the slip and the resultant wear of the pneumatic wheels upon the friction plate with which they come into contact during such time in which two neighboring pneumatic wheels engage with the friction plate.

Abstract: The package support device comprises a hollow cylindrical rotatable winding core member possessing a substantially cylindrical support surface for the wound-up printed products. At the winding core member there is formed a ring-shaped groove extending in the circumferential direction of the winding core member and open towards the outside. Accommodated within such ring-shaped groove is a winding band wound upon the winding core member. The ring-shaped groove can be covered by a cover member supported at the winding core member. This cover member rotates with the winding core member and is displaceable in the direction of the lengthwise axis of such winding core member in order to expose the ring-shaped groove. The cover member can also be constructed to be rotatable in relation to the winding core. A throughpass opening for the winding band is formed in the cover member.

Abstract: A conveyor is provided with clamps or grippers which are spaced from each other. These clamps grasp the edge opposite to the folded edge or fold of a paper product, especially a newspaper, and transport the paper product in a suspended manner. A pair of movable press or clamp elements which can be controllably driven mutually to-and-fro is associated with each of these clamps or grippers. This pair of movable press elements is positioned underneath each of these clamps at a predetermined distance below the conveyor in the region of the path of conveyance of these suspended paper products. These pairs of movable press elements move in substantially the same direction and with substantially the same magnitude of speed as the clamps. The folded edges of the respective paper products or newspapers are clamped or pressed together between these pairs of movable press elements.

Abstract: A shoe upper portion of a ski boot comprises a shell portion enclosing the foot and a tongue portion attached thereto. The tongue portion comprises an instep region and a shin region and a transition region therebetween. A corrugated or undulated wall section having elevations and depressions, i.e. corrugations, is located in the transition region. This wall section is composed of a different type of material than the remainder of the tongue portion and possesses a lower bending stiffness or flexural rigidity than the remainder of the tongue portion. This wall section is non-detachably joined to the remainder of the tongue portion and forms therewith a unitary structure. The larger bending or flexural elasticity of the wall section facilitates bending of the lower leg.

Abstract: Before winding-up the printed products arriving in imbricated product formation, the thickness of the imbricated product formation travelling toward a winding mandrel, respectively toward a product coil or package forming thereupon, is regulated to a prescribed value. This is effected by spreading or compacting the printed products within the imbricated product formation. For this purpose a first conveyor device is driven at higher or lower speed than a second preceding conveyor device. The imbricated product formation of prescribed thickness is wound-up upon the winding mandrel together with a winding strap maintained under tension which always lies upon the outer side of the coil layer being formed.
