Abstract: The present invention relates to a B-shaped crimping die for a crimping tool. The crimping tool and the crimping die are used for crimping a plug with an electrical cable located therein into a B-shape. The crimping die comprises a first crimping die half and a second crimping die half. A B-shaped crimping contour is defined by the crimping die halves in a closed state. A first crimping contour part of the first crimping die half and a second crimping contour part of the second crimping die half together build the crimping contour. Two transition points are located at the transitions between the two crimping contour parts. According to the invention an opening angle of a contour of the second crimping die half increases at said transition points in moving direction of the first crimping die half during the crimping process.

Abstract: In a method of reclaiming constituent components of sealed batteries, the batteries are initially ground to form a ground feedstock. The ground feedstock is heated to form a dried feedstock. The dried feedstock is screen separated into a coarse fraction and a powder fraction, the coarse fraction including a magnetic fraction and a non-magnetic fraction. The coarse fraction and the powder fraction are further vibratorily segregated. The magnetic fraction may be magnetically extracted from the coarse fraction, while the powder fraction is outputted.

Abstract: Apparatus for separating components of post-consumer carpet—pile, adhesive, and primary/secondary backings—may initially comprise spectrographic face fiber identification. Separating substantial portions of pile from backing comprises feeding carpeting into a rotating pinned drum, with separated pile U's dropping, while a residual composition, being primarily backing, travels with the drum, to be separated therefrom using vacuum pressure, with the composite backing being sent to a press. Vacuum pressure delivers the separated U's to a spinning perforated squirrel cage to remove dislodged pieces of adhesive, by vacuum pressure applied to an interior top portion of the cage to draw pieces therein. Rotating the perforated squirrel cage, which is sealed on the exterior using a belt, permits the U's to drop into a hopper. A mesh shaker box vibrates to separate any remaining backing from the pile U's. Hammers in a fibermill remove remaining adhesive attached to the separated pile U fiber.

Abstract: A rotary stamper includes an upper die plate assembly, a lower die plate assembly, and a support frame having a drive assembly that moves the upper die plate horizontally and vertically along a generally circular pathway while moving the lower die plate along a linear horizontal pathway. The upper die plate is vertically slidably connected to the lower die plate by way of one or more vertical rods that extend from the lower die plate assembly up through the upper die plate. In operation, the lower die plate matches the horizontal movements of the upper die plate as the latter is moved along its circular pathway. Concurrently, the upper die plate moves towards and away from the lower die plate. This maintains a substantially constant alignment between the die plates for carrying out a periodic machining operation on a moving web of material passing there between.

Abstract: A condiment grinder which has a body for containing different types of condiment seeds and at least three grinding mechanisms provided at an open end of the body through which condiments ground by the respective grinding mechanisms are to be dispensed. An actuator is provided with the grinder for upon actuation generating a drive that drives the grinding mechanisms via respective transmission paths. A clutch in each of the transmission paths is used to establish and disestablish transmission of the drive via that transmission path, and there is a manually operable selecting mechanism for selecting and operating one of the clutches in order to establish transmission of the drive via the relevant transmission path.

Abstract: A three roll mill having a feed roll, a center roll, and an apron roll with that are driven so that their cylindrical surfaces move in the same direction but different speeds in each nip. One end of each roll is engaged by a drive shaft at a first side of the mill, whereas the other end of each roll rotates freely at a second side of the mill. Each roll can be removed individually and without tools by moving the roll away from the first side against a spring force in the second side. This disengages the roll from its drive shaft, whereupon it can be lifted out of the mill.

Abstract: A stretch-forming apparatus includes a main frame which carries a die enclosure between jaw assemblies. The die enclosure includes radiant heaters for supplying heat to a workpiece being stretch-formed against the die.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rotor (139) for the acceleration of material, in particular a stream of granular or particulate material, with the aid of centrifugal force, with, in particular, the aim of causing the accelerated grains or particles to collide with an impact member at such a velocity that the particles are crushed. The invention provides ways to hinder that particles are pulled from the center space though vortex pulling. The sliding member (143) is provided with a closed space that provides the rotor with a closed center space. When the sliding member (143) are positioned some distance away from the metering member (141), a cover member (134) is positioned above the rotor (139) between the metering member and the sliding member. This enables to design the sliding members shorter and hence cheaper. It enables to place more sliding members on the rotor and hence increase continuous operation time accordingly.

Abstract: A method of rolling metal strip, and in particular steel strip, in which the metal strip passes through the roll gap of at least one roll stand, allows the work rolls of the roll stand which define the roll gap to be able to be shifted along their axes of rotation if differences occur in the shape of the roll gap from its desired shape. The method provides for flat products to be rolled which meet very stringent requirements in respect of their dimensional accuracy. For this purpose, the work rolls are shifted in the same direction in accordance with the invention, following a given shift strategy which is characterized by a regular change in the direction of shift (R?, R+) as a function of the reaching of given maximum shifted positions (V2, V4, V6, . . . , V28, V28, V30, V32 . . . , V53).
