Patent number: 10731788Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the establishment of a signal which is indicative of the pressure-condition of a machine foot (1), as a fixed surface of a rubber-elastic body (5), where a load of the machine foot (1) is transferred from a cap (4) to a substrate (31) through the rubber-elastic body (5), which is pressurised by the increasing load, such that the distance between a free upper surface part (5.1) of the rubber-elastic body (5) and an immobile part (14.1) is determined by an electro-mechanical transducer (6) establishing an electrical signal corresponding to the distance which is used as the measurement for the rubber-elastic body's pressure-condition and thus the machine foot's load.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2016Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: NGI A/SInventor: Tomas Hecht Olsen

Publication number: 20190178435Abstract: A levelling apparatus includes a column which can be mounted in a device such as a machine at an upper end and which is mounted in a foot at a lower end, the levelling apparatus further being provided with a fastening means that by tightening can lock the position of the column in relation to the foot. The lower end of the column is inserted into the foot and fastened thereto by tightening of a bottom nut whose upper end has a shape that is complementary to the contact surface of the foot that the bottom nut will touch by tightening. Furthermore, the levelling apparatus can be used in areas with high risk of earthquakes.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2017Publication date: June 13, 2019Applicant: NGI A/SInventor: Tomas Hecht OLSEN

Patent number: 10080436Abstract: The present invention is directed to a levelling device, which includes a top part and a lower part, where there in the top part is included a spindle, which includes a thread and an external cylindrical surface, a stop item and a sleeve, which includes at least one internal stop surface and that the spindle includes at least one track in which the stop item is placed. With the invention it is achieved that it is possible to manufacture a levelling device, where the sleeve, as a result of the stop surface on the sleeve and the stop item, which is mounted in the track on the spindle cannot be screwed so high up that parts of the thread on the spindle are exposed.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2015Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: NGI A/SInventor: Lars Von Lillienskjold

Patent number: 9835271Abstract: A bracket for pipe profiles includes a body with a center hole for enclosing a pipe profile in the center hole where the body includes at least two non-elastic bracket parts with internal surfaces towards the center hole and external surfaces. The bracket parts' internal surfaces include at least two radial spokes with spoke end surfaces for contact against the pipe profile. A ring shaped elastic gasket may be placed around each spoke end surface, which together with the spoke end surfaces has contact against the pipe profile. The invention also includes use of the bracket for mounting pipe profiles. The bracket has a shape, which ensures hygienic tight connection between bracket and pipe profile and the pipe profile is mechanically supported. The bracket can therefore be used in environments with high hygiene requirements, for example in the foodstuff industry.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2014Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: NGI A/SInventor: Tomas Hecht Olsen

Patent number: 9746122Abstract: The invention is directed to a machine foot, which includes a top part provided with a lock nut, which is mounted in a thread on a spindle, where the lock nut has an abutment complementary shaped to the housing of the lower part, which abutment forms a section of a sphere, and where there is a first gasket between the spindle and lock nut and where there is a second gasket between housing and lock nut. With the invention is achieved that the lower parts and top parts can be produced and stocked as separate and independent units, which for example are not assembled to a finished product until after order.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2014Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: NGI A/SInventor: Tomas Hecht Olsen
