Patent number: 7669917Abstract: A bearing structure of a motor vehicle has at least two opposite node elements. Each of the node elements has at least one longitudinal beam segment and one transverse beam connection. A transverse beam joins the transverse beam connections to each other. A profiled transverse beam segment emerges from each transverse beam connection. The transverse beam segments are joined together by a glue connection in an overlap segment, and at least one open beam profile is set thereon to form the transverse beam.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2008Date of Patent: March 2, 2010Assignee: Dr. Ing. h.c.

Publication number: 20070284914Abstract: A transverse structural member for a seat area of a vehicle has a seat transverse center member that has side attaching sections. Two seat transverse side members are each connected to an associated side attaching section of the seat transverse center member and each extends in a transverse direction of the vehicle from the associated side attaching section of the seat transverse center member to form a functional connection in each case with an associated side sill beam section of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2007Publication date: December 13, 2007Inventors: Dieter Schiebel, Andrea Lippold, Wolfgang Neumann

Patent number: 6070530Abstract: A method and an apparatus for cleaning a rotating cylinder of a rotary printing machine. The apparatus having a washing device, including a washing brush, roller, or cloth, which can be engaged and disengaged from the rotating cylinder to be cleaned. The washing brush roller or cloth can be sprayed with a cleaning fluid (detergent, water) as well as both water. The method and apparatus ensure a controlled guiding of the detergent onto the outer surface of the rotating cylinder, which guarantees an effective cleaning and, at the end of the washing operation, leaves a relatively dry outer surface of the rotating cylinder. The cleaning method is intended to be suitable, in particular, for detergents having a biological base, for example, esters of vegetable oil.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 1998Date of Patent: June 6, 2000Assignee: MAN Roland Druckmaschinen AGInventors: Andreas Lippold, Marco Bergmann, Joachim Olek, Andreas Luder, Roland Holl

Patent number: 5797328Abstract: The invention relates to a device and method for removal of impurities from, and recirculation of, cleaning agent in a printing machine. Contaminated cleaning agent is purified by passing it through a series of sedimentation devices. In these sedimentation devices, gravity is used to separate the cleaning agent into its constituent parts. Once the impurities have been removed from the cleaning agent, the constituent parts that can be reused are recirculated to the washing devices of the printing machine while the impurities are disposed appropriately.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 1997Date of Patent: August 25, 1998Assignee: MAN Roland Druckmaschinen AGInventors: Andreas Lippold, Edgar Dorsam

Patent number: 5761999Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for detecting ink or lacquer films on metallic surfaces inside printing machines. In particular, to irradiate the surface with light and sensing of the intensity of the reflected light to detect whether an ink film or lacquer film on a roller has been completely removed by applying a metering element or doctor-blade element. This is achieved according to the invention by the irradiation of the metallic surface or of the film located thereon, and the reception of the light reflected from the surface or the film located thereon is performed at the Brewster angle with respect to the surface normal, the Brewster angle being defined by the refractive index of the material of the film to be determined and that liner polarization of the light is performed at least partially in the plane of incidence, at least in one of the two beam paths.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 1996Date of Patent: June 9, 1998Assignee: MAN Roland Druckmaschinen AGInventors: Andreas Lippold, Christian Schlegel

Patent number: 5732631Abstract: A method and apparatus for cleaning cylinders of a rotary printing machine, and particularly rubber-blanket cylinders, back up cylinders, plate cylinders and form cylinders. The cleaning device includes a housing having an orifice on one side and being moveable between throw-on and throw-off positions with respect to the cylinder, at least one jet device for introducing a cleaning agent in the form of pulverulent abrasive into the housing for forceful direction against the surface of the cylinder for removing impurities therefrom, and a suction device in close proximity to the housing orifice for drawing off and removing from the housing used cleaning agent and removed impurities.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 1996Date of Patent: March 31, 1998Assignee: MAN Roland Druckmaschinen AGInventors: Thomas Walther, Andreas Lippold

Patent number: 5377591Abstract: A washing apparatus for cleaning the surface of cylinders in a printing machine includes a fresh-cloth roller, a washing roller and a dirty-cloth roller. A washing cloth is transported from the fresh-cloth roller via the washing roller to the dirty-cloth roller. A spring-band freewheel in the form of a helical coil spring is wound non-positively on the shaft of the fresh-cloth roller. The spring-band freewheel free-wheels during the rotation of the shaft in the direction of tension applied to the washing cloth and blocks the shaft from rotating in the opposite direction. The necessary cloth tension is guaranteed, at the same time, by means of the resilient effect of the spring-band freewheel.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 1994Date of Patent: January 3, 1995Assignee: Man Roland Druckmaschinen AGInventors: Andreas Lippold, Marco Bergmann

Patent number: 5287808Abstract: A method and system are provided for establishing a reference position of ink-metering elements relative to a duct roller of a printing machine. The reference position is established by moving the ink-metering element toward the duct roller while acoustically sensing for contact. When a noise level indicative of the ink-metering element being in contact with the roller is detected, the reference, or zero position is established. At that precise moment, a representative value which varies with the distance between the element and the roller is stored as the zero position.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 1992Date of Patent: February 22, 1994Assignee: MAN Roland Druckmaschinen AGInventor: Andreas Lippold

Patent number: 4735282Abstract: A device for the generation of vortex rings which consists of a box supplied with orifices and electromechanic transformers. The electromechanic transformers are controlled by signalers and cause pressure waves within the box which form vortex rings at the orifices. As signalers low-frequency amplifiers can be used which send out music or speech signals or electronic circuits which form a kind of optimized signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 1986Date of Patent: April 5, 1988Inventor: Andreas Lippold
