Abstract: A device for slowing down signatures to be folded in a chopper folder is disclosed comprising a table formed with a slot therein parallel to the direction of movement of the signatures, a headstop perpendicular to such direction, two fold rollers disposed below the slot, and a blade cooperating with the fold rollers for folding the signatures centered with respect to said slot, and further comprising a device for applying vacuum or under pressure acting upon each signature to be folded to slow it down progressively as it approaches the headstop, the slowing down force being applied to prevent bouncing of the signature off said headstop, on the one hand, and on the other hand, to produce tension in the signature until the vacuum is suddenly brought to atmosphere, the vacuum device comprising at least one series of holes disposed in accordance with the direction of movement of the signature to be folded in order to be obturated thereby one after the other until obturation of all the holes in the series of holes

Abstract: A valve for adjusting the closing speed of a door closer includes a generally cylindrical valve member having a tubular portion and a solid portion. The valve member is received with sliding contact in a blind-end bore of a valve body. The wall of the tubular portion of the valve member has an opening which is positionable into communication with an inlet conduit provided in the valve body in such a way that an axial adjustment of the valve member changes the cross-sectional area of the passage created between the inlet conduit and the opening. A body of elastic foam material with closed-wall cells is arranged in the interior of the tubular portion and is placed across the opening. In operation, fluid flowing through the valve applies pressure to the body and presses it away from the opening, so that the fluid can flow between the wall of the tubular portion and the body of elastic foam material without creating a hissing sound.

Abstract: An axially extending closer shaft for a door closer is made up of an axially extending first section mounted in a door closer housing and an axially extending second section aligned with and connected to the first section and located outside of the housing. A plurality of annular grooves are formed in the second section extending perpendicularly of the shaft axis and spaced apart in the direction of the shaft axis. The second section can be cut to the desired length in the plane of one of the grooves. The first and second sections can be connected together by a plurality of bolts extending in the axial direction of the shaft or by a single shaft and coupling balls positioned within recesses in the first shaft and in bores in the second shaft.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a tucker cylinder which cooperates with a folding cylinder to fold a sheet. The tucker cylinder is rotatable about a first axis and has a cylindrical outside surface and a circular end face. A tucker blade is connected to a carrier which is rotatable about a second axis within the tucker cylinder and parallel to and spaced from the first axis about which the tucker cylinder rotates. The carrier has a slot extending radially of the second axis, and a member fixed to the end face of the tucker cylinder slidably engaging the slot for transmitting rotary motion of the tucker cylinder to said carrier. An arcuate opening is formed in the end face through which the member extends. The arcuate opening is coaxial with the first axis of rotation of the tucker cylinder, and the member is adjustably positioned in the opening to adjust the timing of the motion of the tucker carrier.

Abstract: The edge fitting assembly for the bottom edge of a glass door includes two bars elongated in a common, horizontal direction and spaced from each other at right angles to the common direction. Two fastening blocks are releasably secured in longitudinally spaced relationship between the bars and at least partly covered by the bars. The blocks define respective, upwardly open, aligned grooves in which the bottom edge of the door panel is received. Each bar is enveloped by a cover of sheet material which is locked to the bar by an elongated locking member simultaneously received in a groove formed in one of the two narrow edge portions of the bar and a groove defined in the portion of the cover which envelops the edge portion in such a manner that the cover cannot move away from the wide face portion of the bar which connects the edge portions.
