Patent number: 8544935Abstract: A door impact beam for a motor vehicle includes a pot-shaped member made from a metal sheet and extending over a major part of a length of the beam to define two legs and a bridge interconnecting the legs. The bridge has a central length portion which is formed with an embossment defined by a depth, with a ratio of the depth of the embossment to a height of the pot-shaped member in midsection ranging between 1:3 and 1:6. The pot-shaped member has side flanges extending transversely from lower longitudinal edges of the legs in the central length portion.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2011Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: Benteler Automobiltechik GmbHInventors: Andreas Wille, Dariusz Straznikiewicz, Andreas Schiller

Patent number: 8419091Abstract: A bumper for an automobile includes a crossbeam which is formed from at least two separate hollow profiles, wherein the hollow profiles abut one another along a longitudinal wall and are joined with one another. The abutting longitudinal walls form a double web oriented in the longitudinal direction of the automobile. The hollow profiles may have an identical cross-sectional configuration. The hollow profiles may be roll-formed or extruded. The modular construction of the crossbeam from separate hollow profiles allows a lightweight construction and allows the load characteristic of the crossbeam to be functionally adapted to different requirements depending on the vehicle or vehicle class.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2011Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Benteler Automobiltechnik GmbHInventors: Michael Roll, Christian Handing, Martin Schröter, Andreas Schiller

Publication number: 20060042490Abstract: A method for de-imaging a permanent image on a surface of a rewritable printing forme includes driving the printing forme in rotation about its longitudinal central axis during erasure. The image is ground off the surface of the rewritable printing forme by a rotating grinding device set against the surface of the printing forme being driven in rotation. Polymer removed during grinding at the surface is extracted from the surface of the printing forme.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2005Publication date: March 2, 2006Inventors: Stephan Fischer, Marek Jirous, Andreas Schiller

Patent number: 6631676Abstract: A process and apparatus for gravure printing of an image using an erasable and reusable gravure form including a gravure blank form having a base screen which is designed for accommodating a maximum amount of ink to be transferred. The depressions of the base screen of the gravure blank form are uniformly filled with a liquefiable substance using an applicator device and material is then removed from the depressions in conformity with the intended image using thermal energy applied by an image-point transfer device. The printing form is then linked using an inking system and, finally, is regenerated after the printing process to produce a gravure blank form, wherein the depressions of the base screen are again filled in a uniform manner.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 1997Date of Patent: October 14, 2003Assignee: MAN Roland Druckmaschinen AGInventors: Armin Weichmann, Arnim Franz-Burgholz, Rainer Stamme, Andreas Schiller, Hans Fleischmann
