  • Patent number: 10738400
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tool module (10) having a module body (11), which has a contact surface (21) and an orienting structure (22). A fastening opening (29) and additionally at least one, preferably a plurality of additional openings (33, 34) extend through the contact surface (21). The area of one additional opening (33) or (34) is larger than, preferably considerably larger than, for example at least twice or three times as large as the cross-sectional area of the fastening opening (29). Thus, a module body (11) is provided, by means of which an increased operating speed of the textile machine can be achieved.

  • Patent number: 10400845
    Abstract: A seal guide unit for guiding and sealing a piston rod of a vibration damper having a first guide element and a second guide element fixedly connected to the first guide element and arranged coaxial to the first guide element, and a radially moveable piston rod seal arrangement arranged coaxially between the two guide elements and is at least indirectly surrounded in circumferential direction by at least one guide element, including a defined radial annular gap, and comes in at least indirect axial contact with at least one guide element. The piston rod seal arrangement includes a piston rod seal and a sliding element which encloses the piston rod seal in circumferential direction and axially limits the piston rod seal at least on one side. The sliding element has a lower friction coefficient than parts of the seal guide unit adjoin the piston rod seal arrangement.
