  • Patent number: 11346401
    Abstract: A bayonet coupling for mounting of a tool on a drive shaft of a machining unit. The drive shaft is connected to the tool via a bayonet coupling, which includes two coupling parts. The one coupling part is provided with a receiving groove for an engaging tab placed on the other coupling part. The receiving groove has a first section with an extension parallel to the axis of rotation and the second section of the receiving groove has an extension transverse, perpendicular, to the axis of rotation, so that the tool is driven via the engagement of the bayonet coupling.

  • Publication number: 20140106651
    Abstract: Grinding heads rotate about central axes, have surfaces between plane and cylindrical surfaces provided with retainer grooves for edge profile parts of a number of abrasive paper members with associated support brushes. Abrasive paper members are mounted at angles of 20-40°, preferably about 30°, directed obliquely forward in the direction of rotation of the plane surface and a tangential plane of the cylindrical surface. Retainer grooves for edge profile parts of the abrasive paper members extend obliquely rearward in the direction of rotation of the plane surface at an angle of 3-10° relative to a radial extension. Alternatively, the retainer grooves extend obliquely rearward in the direction of rotation of the cylindrical surface at an angle of 3-10° relative to an axially parallel generatrix of the cylindrical surface. In a simple way a more optimal abrading of particularly outer side edges and edge areas of plate-shaped items is readily achieved.

  • Publication number: 20110072696
    Abstract: A channel lighting sign is provided in which the side structure of the channel lighting sign can be constructed of a translucent polycarbonate material. The channel lighting sign includes a faceplate foamed of a translucent or transparent material, such as an acrylic plastic. The side structure is shaped to conform to perimeter contours of the shape of the faceplate. At least one mounting bracket is disposed on an inside surface of the side structure at a position near a front side of the side structure. The mounting bracket holds a mounting insert formed of a material that can easily and quickly bond with the faceplate material using a solvent or bonding agent.
