Publication number: 20180234003Abstract: An electromagnetic impact drive includes two electroconductive helical springs in meshing relationship, with their fixed ends supported on an abutment and their movable ends joined to an electroconductive armature. Electric terminals connect the fixed ends to a electricity source for feeding a current to flow from one of the electric terminals via an associated one of the helical springs in a first direction towards the armature and from there in an opposite second direction via the other one of the helical springs to the other one of the electric terminals so that adjacent windings of the helical springs repel one another by an oppositely directed force pair when an electric circuit is closed. A control device is provided to open and close the electric circuit with the electricity source.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2018Publication date: August 16, 2018Applicant: Benteler Maschinenbau GmbHInventors: Anton Frank, GEORG FROST, FRANK RABE, MARTIN HESSELMANN

Patent number: 6032404Abstract: A portable bait bucket includes a built-in handle allowing it to be easily carried from place to place. The inventive bucket includes an internal chamber accessible by an opening in its top closed by a pivotable door having a plurality of openings allowing air to enter the chamber to maintain some level of oxygenation for the water contained therein. On a forward face of the bucket, an opening is provided that may be closed with a plug to allow the user to extract bait from the inner chamber of the bucket. The inner chamber is divided into two sub-chambers by a divider that includes a water pervious wall allowing water to flow from one sub-chamber to the other. One sub-chamber is connected to the top opening and the forward facing opening. This first sub-chamber contains the bait. The second sub-chamber is not connected with the forward facing opening or the top opening.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 1998Date of Patent: March 7, 2000Inventor: Anton Frank Cincibus

Patent number: 4350011Abstract: The disclosure concerns a pumping apparatus for working fluid, in a hydrodynamic coupling, or the like. Working fluid is stored in a sump and is to be lifted by a spinning disc to an elevated container from which the working fluid is then directed back into the spinning disc. The periphery of the spinning disc picks up the working fluid from the sump and carries it around to spary it up toward a deflector at the top of the housing which deflects the fluid into the container. A groove-like duct encloses the lower quarter of the disc for directing the fluid back toward the surface of the disc. The disc has a trapezoidal cross-section peripheral groove for further carrying the fluid beyond the top exit of the duct so that the fluid may be thrown toward the deflector at the top of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1980Date of Patent: September 21, 1982Assignee: Voith Turbo GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Thomas Rogner, Anton Frank

Patent number: 3996927Abstract: An elevation and leveling adjustment arrangement for accurately locating pressure-to-current transducers, used in monitoring blood pressure during and post surgery, at an appropriate reference point relative to the patient. The pressure-to-current transducers are mounted to a platform or base which also has provided thereon level indicating means and optical means. The optical means in combination with the level indicating means is arranged to indicate when the base is properly leveled and the pressure transducers are at the same elevation as the reference point marked on the patient. In the case where an optical sighting means is employed, the reference point is directly viewable thereby. The platform further includes leveling adjust means which adjustably couples the base to a telescoping elevation adjust means, the latter of which provides fine elevation adjustment of the platform.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 1975Date of Patent: December 14, 1976Assignee: Hoffmann-La Roche Inc.Inventor: Ulrich Anton Frank
