  • Patent number: 12313133
    Abstract: Disk brake including a brake caliper and an application device arranged therein for applying force to the brake pads of the disk brake, wherein a component of the application device is a brake lever which can be actuated by a force element and preferably by a pressure cylinder and is composed of a lever arm against which the force element is supported and an application shaft. The application shaft is supported, on one side, against a pressure piece operating in the direction of the brake pads and, on the other side, with the interposition of a shell, against a channel arranged on the inside of the brake caliper, wherein the curvature of the shell is complementary to the curvature of the channel. In order to develop the disk brake and the shell assembly by constructive measures so as to prevent the shell assembly from moving out of the original position even in the case of long-term use and under frequent load caused by braking, an opening of a bore is located in the channel.

  • Patent number: 10752982
    Abstract: An installation for hot dip coating a metal strip is provided. The installation includes a device for moving the metal strip along a path, a pot for containing a melt bath and a wiping system including at least two nozzles placed on either side of the path downstream the pot. The wiping system has a box with a lower confinement part confining an atmosphere around the metal strip upstream of said nozzles and an upper confinement part confining the atmosphere around the metal strip downstream of the nozzles, first moving means for vertically moving the lower confinement part with respect to the pot and second moving means for vertically moving the upper confinement part with respect to both the pot and the lower confinement part. The nozzles are vertically movable relative to the pot.
