Patent number: 9421591Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for producing conical sections in cylindrical pipes of screw-in foundations by drawing. The device comprises a plurality of press rolling disks (segments) disposed radially about a longitudinal axis of a receptacle for the cylindrical pipe to drawn, pivotable about axes extending transverse and tangential to the longitudinal axis and designed such that the outer circumferential surfaces of the press roller disks (segments) form a developed cone. The device further comprises a drawing die for drawing the pipe along the longitudinal axis through the press roller disks (segments), such that the conical section can be formed by means of the outer circumferential surfaces rolling on the pipe during drawing. Spring elements clamp the press roller disks (segments) against the pipe.

Publication number: 20140294513Abstract: A screwing device on a cantilever arm of a construction vehicle for screwing foundation installations into the ground has a suspension, a screw head, and an actuator. The actuator can be pivoted about two axes extending parallel to one another and transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the screw head. The articulation point on the screw head follows the motion of the pivoting lever on the longitudinal axis due to a migration of the articulation point from the longitudinal axis of the screw head occurring due to pivoting of the pivoting lever about the axes while screwing the foundation installation into the ground. The axes extend transverse to the longitudinal direction of the cantilever arm and are supplemented by at least one additional axis supported transversely with respect to said axes. This compensates for a migration of the articulation point in each direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2012Publication date: October 2, 2014Applicant: Krinner Innovation GmbHInventors: Klaus Krinner, Martin Thurner

Patent number: 7752806Abstract: A holding device for rod-shaped components comprising holding elements that move through a series of positions. To hold a component the holding elements move in sequence from open releasing positions, to contacting positions, to aligning positions and finally to fully closed positions. Holding elements in aligning positions permit the held component to be moved and aligned even though the holding elements are more firmly in contact with the component than in their contacting positions. Slide-resistant surfaces formed on the holding elements are made in such a way that in the case of the movement of a misaligned component, sliding resistance is intensified in one direction while sliding resistance is reduced in another direction to permit movement of the component in that direction into the desired alignment. The holding elements are moved in the opposite sequence to release a component.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2006Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Assignee: Krinner Innovation GmbHInventor: Klaus Krinner

Patent number: 7618022Abstract: Described are a tensioning device and a stand having a tensioning device of this type. In a stand for clamping rod-shaped units (Christmas trees), a flexible force transfer element (wire rope) (4) is wound on a rotatable tensioning body (5) and thus tightened. The rotatable tensioning body (5) is rotated about its rotation axis (18) by means of a drive wheel (7) which is connected non-rotatably to the tensioning body and whose diameter is several times larger than that of the tensioning body (5). A safety catch (6) prevents the tensioning body (5) from turning backwards automatically into the locking position and allows the tensioning body (5) to turn backwards into the release position.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2007Date of Patent: November 17, 2009Assignee: Krinner Innovation GmbHInventor: Gunther Thurner

Patent number: 7484703Abstract: Tree stand in which a tensioning device can move a plurality of retaining elements that are arranged about the axis of the receiving area of the stand, by means of a flexible force transmission element that can be loaded with tension, out of a loose position in which the trunk can be adjusted into a support position in which the retaining elements are positioned largely force-free on the trunk, then into an alignment position in which the retaining elements hold the trunk so that it can be aligned, finally into a retaining position in which the trunk is clamped upright, whereby the lower retaining force of the plurality of retaining elements, which force is required in the alignment position, is produced by an elastic buffer element allocated to the force transmission element.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2005Date of Patent: February 3, 2009Assignee: Krinner Innovation GmbHInventor: Klaus Krinner

Patent number: 7341234Abstract: The tensioning device of a tree stand has a tension lever, a ratchet wheel and a tensioning body coaxial therewith, and a lever catch that is movably guided on the tension lever like a ratchet or one-way coupling and that is detachably mechanically linked to the ratchet wheel and that when the tension lever is actuated to create tension engages the teeth of the ratchet wheel such that a part connected to elements for retaining the tree is wound on the tensioning body, thus securely clamping the tree. The tensioning device furthermore has a first catch for engaging the teeth of the ratchet wheel and blocks the latter's rotation in the sense of unwinding of the tensioning body. For each release actuation of the tension lever, the first catch disengages from the teeth of the ratchet wheel, whereby thereupon a second catch blocks the release when the second catch strikes the blocking flank of the tooth of the ratchet wheel in the release direction.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2005Date of Patent: March 11, 2008Assignee: Krinner Innovation GmbHInventor: Artur Kowalski
