Abstract: The invention relates to a valve train for gas exchange valves of an internal combustion engine, having a base camshaft, a plurality of cam carriers, which are arranged in a rotationally fixed and axially movable way on the base camshaft, as well as stopping devices for retaining the cam carriers in defined displacement positions along the base camshaft, with the stopping devices comprising in each case a pressure-applying element, which is inserted into a recess of the base camshaft and pressed in the radial direction of the base camshaft against an opposite inner circumferential section of the cam carrier. In order to counteract noise generation in the valve train, a first variant of the invention provides an additional pressure-applying element at an axial distance from the pressure-applying element. This additional pressure-applying element is pressed against an opposite inner circumferential section of the cam carrier.

Abstract: The suspension device for presenting goods comprises a profile rail (1), into which an electrical profiled element (2) is inserted, through which electrical conductors (21) partially embedded in insulation (20) extend. The electrical conductors are accessible via a passage (10) of the profile rail (1) that opens to the outside. A primary support (4) that can be hung in the profile rail (1) has an insertion section (416,426) that can be inserted into the passage (10). An adapter (5) is arranged on the insertion section (416) of the primary support (4). Said adapter is designed to tap current on the electrical conductors (21) in order to operate a lighting unit (7). An electrical supply line (6) extends from the adapter (5) to the lighting unit (7). The adapter (5) has a housing (52) and a current collector (54) having contacts (541), which are intended to tap current on the electrical conductors (21).

Abstract: The invention relates to the device for displaying articles, comprising a mounting (2) which has an internal cavity (25) with a cavity opening (250) and which is intended for fixing on a supporting structure (9). The device also comprises a primary support (3) which has an end piece (30) that is designed complementary to the cavity (25) and which is intended to be hooked into the mounting (2) in the cavity (25) in a stationary manner with the end piece (30) inserted through the cavity opening (250). The configuration of the end piece (30) on the primary support (3) and of the cavity (25) in the mounting (2) requires that the end piece (30) is inserted into the cavity opening (250) in an end piece (30) position that is inclined relative to the horizontal with the free end of the end piece (30) being lowered. When the intended hooked end position between the primary support (3) and the mounting (2) is achieved, the end piece (30) is inserted into the cavity (25) to the maximum depth.

Each of the printing units has at least one plate cylinder and one transfer cylinder which interacts with the web being printed. An effective plate width of the plate cylinder corresponds to the print image of at least eight upright or prone printed pages in a BIN 4A format. The printed web is slit longitudinally into a plurality of web strands: A first number of these web strands are supplied to the first folding apparatus. At the same time, a second number of web strands, produced by the slitting of the same web, are supplied to a second folding apparatus for further processing.

Abstract: A cylinder, which is part of an inking system or of a dampening system, has a rotary individual drive which is embodied as a drive motor. A changeable drive is also provided. The rotary drive is driven by the drive motors by a bevel or angular gear.

Abstract: A printing form is either raised or is lowered by the use of a pressure device which includes a roller. The roller is arranged on a cross-beam in such a way that the roller can selectively be placed on, or taken off the forme cylinder, or a forme that is supported on the forme cylinder, by a device. The pressure device, or the cross-beam which supports the roller can be displaced in a manner such that the distance of the roller from the cylinder can selectively be increased.

Abstract: A printing machine is provided with a control panel for use in the printing machine's control. The control panel is located on one side of the printing machine which includes at least one printing unit which has at least one pair of cylinder. This at least one pair of cylinders are mechanically coupled to each other by a drive connection and are driven for rotation by a drive motor that is independent of other printing units. This drive motor and the drive connection are located on the control panel side of the printing unit.

Abstract: A device is used to influence the fan-on effect of a web in a web-fed rotary printing press. Sensors are used to sense and to monitor a side register control or adjustment of the web. The values provided by the sensor are supplied to the device which controls the fan-out effect.

Abstract: A printing machine has at least one machine element which can be adjusted by the use of a setting element. An adjustment of the one machine element has an effect on the quality of the printing performed by the printing machine. An optical detection device, which includes a sensor that is oriented toward the surface of a material which is being printed, detects the quality of the printing. A controlling device receives data from the optical sensor and adjusts, together with the setting element, the at least one machine element based on a difference between a quality of the printing which has been specified as a set value and the quality of the printing detected as an actual value by the optical detection device. This adjustment is done to manage the differences between the set value and the actual value.

Abstract: During mounting and dismounting of blankets (2) on cylinders (1), rollers (3) are pressed against the cylinder in order to ensure uniform winding and unwinding. It is necessary to apply a uniform positioning pressure for a low control and driving expenditure. According to the invention, such a device for pressing blankets against cylinders is obtained by applying simultaneously several movable rollers (3, 29), independently from each other, by means of a single actuator (4). According to a particular embodiment of the invention, first and second rollers can be actuated for respectively mounting and dismounting the blanket. The assembly can be protected against contamination by moving a protection (47) by means of the same actuator. A stop is used for the correct positioning of the plate at the forward end.
