  • Patent number: 9296567
    Abstract: A method and a device for conveying strip-shaped or plate shaped products utilizing the following steps and features: supply the products out of a continuously operating device to the conveying device; convey the products in succession in the conveying device; and transfer the products from the conveying device to a device for further processing. When the device for the further processing of the products is not ready for operation the products are store, then discharged when the device for the for the further processing of the products is ready for operation. Additionally, the products supplied into the conveying device is discharged out of the conveying device when the device for the further processing of the products is not ready for operation, the products are not able to be transferred to the further processing device, and when the storage device is completely filled with products.

  • Patent number: 8863941
    Abstract: In a device for regulating the linear stability of a revolving belt (10) of a conveying system, a control roller (20) disposed transversely with respect to a belt running direction is pressed against the belt. The control roller (20) can be displaced by means of an actuator co-operating with a sensor detecting the lateral position of the belt (10) in order to displace the control roller (20) to align the belt if the belt (10) drifts laterally. The control roller (20) is mounted on an axle (21) which in the region of a first edge of the belt is pivotably mounted and in the region of a second edge of the belt is connected and movably guided at the second end thereof using guiding and adjusting means. The control roller (20) is disposed with a high degree of looping on the inner face of the belt in a belt loop (22) located substantially perpendicular to a conveying plane and can be pivoted substantially perpendicularly to the conveying plane.

  • Patent number: 6644678
    Abstract: The articulating function of a mounting/bearing for fifth wheels is realized by utilizing a bolted connection or by using rubber elements as a displacement coupling. The object of the current invention is to create a mounting/bearing device for a fifth wheel having the advantages of both the bolted coupling and the displacement coupling. A mounting/bearing as claimed by the current invention for a fifth wheel has a stirrup-shaped bearing pedestal and a bridge which can be fastened to a coupling plate of the fifth wheel, whereby a damping element is arranged between the bearing pedestal and the bridge. The damping element is realized as a walking element. This ensures that the mounting/bearing can be manufactured with large manufacturing tolerances and can be easily swiveled.
