  • Patent number: 6052859
    Abstract: The invention relates to a scraper arrangement for attachment to at least one of at least two machine parts which are movable relative to one other, particularly for protection of guideways in machine tools. In this case a scraper strip made from elastically deformable material is replaceably retained on a rigid carrier strip which for its part is releasably connected to a machine part. With a view to a reliable attachment and quick replacement of carrier strip and scraper strip, at least one approximately strip-shaped intermediate carrier can be firmly attached to one machine part and with the aid of at least one C-shaped clamp can be replaceably fixed on a front end edge region of the machine part.

  • Patent number: 5119869
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing a telescopic cover using one single profile which is straight in the initial state and has a groove into which a flat material blank intended to form the top wall and the side walls is inserted. This material blank and the profile are then bent together to form the top wall and side walls, the outer strip of the profile being stretched in the region of the two bend lines without cracking to form a rounded outer contour.

  • Patent number: 5040664
    Abstract: This invention relates to a shavings conveyor having a reversing contactor for protecting the drive assembly (1) of the shaving conveyor from undue wear caused by the overloading of the shavings conveyor. When the conveyor becomes overloaded, a torque support beam (12), which is attached to the housing of the drive assembly (1), is caused to rotate. A threaded rod (15) is attached at one end to the beam (12) and moves with the displacement of beam (12). An L-shaped chip (20), mounted to the opposite end of threaded rod (15) and having a control cam (21) attached thereon, is moved with the threaded rod (15) so that the control cam (21) attached thereto engages a control switch (22). As the control switch (22) is activated, it signals the motor of the drive assembly to briefly reverse the direction of movement of the shavings conveyor so as to disperse the accumulation of shavings.

  • Patent number: 4932515
    Abstract: The invention relates to a shavings conveyor, consisting of a hinged belt and two side plate chains, in which the rims of the hinged belt at the same time form the inner side plates of the two side plate chains and the height of these inner side plates is chosen so as to be greater than the height of the rollers of the side plate chains, so that a lateral definition of position of the shavings conveyor with respect to the stationary guide profile is produced in the lower and upper run of the hinged belt.

  • Patent number: 4909381
    Abstract: The invention relates to a shavings conveyor in which the members of the hinged belt have on their edges running at right angles to the transport direction joint axis parts which extend over the entire width of the hinged belt and of which one is provided with a part-cylindrical outer surface and the other with a complementary part-cylindrical inner surface. Such a shavings conveyor is distinguished by particularly simple production of the hinged belt.

  • Patent number: 4773457
    Abstract: The invention relates to a telescopic cover with support rollers which are mounted so as to be rotatable about a first axis which extends at right angles to the direction of travel and capable of limited pivotal movement about a second axis which extends in the direction of travel through the center of the support roller. Such a telescopic cover is distinguished by statically satisfactory mounting of the support rollers even when transverse forces occur.

  • Patent number: 4771906
    Abstract: The invention relates to a telescopic cover (1) in which the individual cover boxes (2, 2', 2") comprise a top wall (3, 3', 3"), two side walls and a rear wall (4, 4', 4") and the extending movement of the cover boxes is limited by a stop (11). At least for connection of the rear wall (4) to the top wall (3) an elongated profile (9) is provided which has parallel flanges (11, 12) on one broad side between which the top wall is retained and of which the outer flange (11) at the same time forms the said stop, whilst the inner flange (12) at the same time forms an assembly stop for the rear wall (4). This results in a particularly quick and precise assembly of the individual cover boxes.

  • Patent number: 4722452
    Abstract: The invention relates to a telescopic cover composed of multiple boxes in which three guide elements are provided for guiding two adjacent boxes in the region of each side wall, and of these at least one guide element extends over the length of the appertaining box by a specific dimension in the extended state of the two boxes and furthermore at least one of the three guide elements is releasable from the appertaining box. In this way a small compressed dimension of the telescopic cover can be produced even with very wide boxes and at the same time a self-supporting construction can be achieved in a simple manner which saves on material.

  • Patent number: 4700517
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cabin-like cover, in particular for covering machines, in which the panels of the side walls have a U-shaped cross-section which is open towards the bottom and engages over a base frame so that the junction of the panels in the base frame is well protected against the entry of fluid and foreign bodies. In at least one side wall of the cabin-like cover a closure element is also provided and after it has been detached the individual panels of the side wall can be removed and thus later alterations to the side walls can be carried out without complete dismantling of the cabin-like cover.
