  • Patent number: 5862649
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for packaging cans or tubes which arrive from a conveying station and which are placed into a packaging fixture. The cans are moved in the packaging fixture to a packaging station and are together removed from the packaging fixture in the form of a dense package and are provided with common packaging. The cans are then passed on to the next following processing station. Using interchangeable packaging modules, the cans or tubes are selectively filled into a box or are provided with a hoop. In the process, the packaging material is brought to the packaging station in a delivery plane which extends vertically with respect to a direction of delivery of the cans or tubes from out of the packaging fixture. The box to be filled is delivered by a box carrier which is movable in the delivery plane, to the packaging station, and is there taken over by a suction gripper.

  • Patent number: 5772497
    Abstract: A motor is disposed above the protective covering or chassis of a movable surface treatment device. Via its vertically arranged power take-off shaft, the motor drives the horizontally extending rotor shafts, on which respectively one rotor cage is disposed on both sides of a gear housing. The rotor shafts are driven in opposite directions, so that one drum mills in the same direction and the other drum mills with opposite horizontal rotary movement. The gear housing is driven in a stepped-down manner via a two-stage transmission by a power take-off pulley disposed on the power take-off shaft. The rotor cages make two superimposed rotary movements. Thus, the treated surface no longer has a grooved appearance, the surface is treated more evenly and better, and finally, no self-driving force acts on the movable surface treatment device. Work safety is thus increased in addition to work quality.

  • Patent number: 5704195
    Abstract: A method for packaging cans or tubes continuously delivered from a production installation to pick-up elements, which are moved in steps, of an intermediate station. A gripper device brings the cans or tubes in groups according to the desired number of pieces in a packaging layer to a delivery station. Each can or tube is deposited into a support element, after which the cans or tubes are pushed together out of the support elements into a loading station. The cans or tubes are placed at equal distances into the pick-up elements, wherein individual support elements are placed apart from each other at a predetermined distance. The cans or tubes are then deposited into the support elements at distances predetermined by the pick-up elements. The support elements are subsequently moved together until they touch each other, whereupon the cans or tubes are then pushed into the loading station. This method allows the use of the same apparatus for different can diameters with minimal changing effort.

  • Patent number: 5611228
    Abstract: A pressing tool for coupling elements includes a forked receiver, a clamping claw which is interchangeably held in the receiver by a connecting pin, and a drive motor for the activation of the clamping claw. The connecting pin can be inserted through holes bored in the forked receiver and the clamping claw crosswise relative to the lengthwise direction of the housing of the pressing tool. A monitoring element is provided, which checks to ensure that the connecting pin is fully inserted. The monitoring element is connected to the power source of the drive motor by means of a switching element.

  • Patent number: 5582256
    Abstract: A manually displaceable implement for ground treatment comprising a housing (1), a rotor drum (2) rotatably maintained therein and driven by a motor, a connecting piece (3) and height-adjustable running wheels (5). In the non-operating state, the running wheels (5) are lowered, so that the rotor drum (2) is raised off the ground (B) to be treated. In the process, at least one running wheel (5) rests against a stop disposed on the housing (1) and is blocked in this manner. The implement for ground treatment is secured by this blocking means (10) and does not make any uncontrolled movements, even if the drive motor of the rotor drum (2) is switched on.

  • Patent number: 5569119
    Abstract: A manually displaceable implement for ground treatment comprising a dead-man safety based on an automatic lowering and blocking of the running wheels (5). A stop (10) is provided on the implement for blockage, against which at least one lowered running wheel (5) rests. The automatic lowering of the running wheels (5) is accomplished by a two-part height adjustment rod (4), which is maintained together by an emergency release element (12). In an emergency, this emergency element (12) is activated by a ripcord, whereby the connection is automatically released.

  • Patent number: 5339606
    Abstract: A method for discontinuous delivery of products, such as tubes or capsules supplied continuously by a production facility to a delivery station of a machine. A box-filling installation, for example, is located at the delivery station. The machine has two carriages guided along the same path. While the first carriage which is moved in steps is loaded at the transfer station, the second carriage is already at the delivery station, where it is unloaded and subsequently rapidly moved on until it again abuts the carriage. Thus, loading of the carriages at the transfer station can take place continuously. So that the carriages can perform the movement cycles, such as step-by-step movement, driving, stopping, rapidly moving on until connection with the other carriage, independently of each other, an individual drive is provided for each one of the two carriages.

  • Patent number: 5335976
    Abstract: A treatment disk for devices for roughening or treating surfaces of stone floors, wherein hammer-like treatment points are mounted on the treatment disk opposite each of respectively semicircular slideways of the treatment disk. This shape makes it possible for an operation of a treatment point to cause the treatment disk to make a circular movement in the slideway and not, as previously known, a jumping or chattering movement as in a compressed air jack. The treatment disk is preferably made in three parts, so that the cutout has an overall shape resembling a three-leaf clover and the treatment points are offset by approximately 20.degree. with respect to the symmetry axes of the clover leaf. This shape has proven to be particularly effective.

  • Patent number: 5305842
    Abstract: A motor-driven propulsion device (10) can be attached separately to a surface-cleaning machine (1), which has a drive (2) for a rotor drum and is equipped with a handle supporting deck (3) for manual propulsion. For this, the device (10) is connected mechanically to the handle supporting deck (3) and secured to the axle (5) of the surface-cleaning machine (1) with a swivel hook (34) and a two-pronged fork. In this position, at least one motor-driven frictional wheel (11) presses on the running wheels (6) of the surface-cleaning machine (1). The frictional wheel (11) is driven by a separate motor in the housing (12) of the propulsion device (10), which, if necessary, uses a separate power supply or the same power supply as the drive motor of the rotor drum of the surface-cleaning machine (1).
