Patent number: 10890262Abstract: A closure device including a closure element for closing an opening surrounded by a valve seat of the closure device. The closure device has an open state, in which the closure element exposes the opening at least partly, for an object to be led through the opening, an intermediate state, in which the closure element is brought into alignment with the opening without contact with the valve seat, and a closed state, in which the closure element at least rests on the valve seat via a seal of the closure device. The seal has a hollow space, to which a pressure medium from a pressure source of the closure device can be applied, and the closure device has a suction apparatus for sucking the pressure medium out of the hollow space of the seal.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: VAT Holding AGInventors: Anton Neumeir, Christoph Angst, Karlheinz Summer, Bernhard Duelli

Patent number: 9528614Abstract: A vacuum valve closes a flow path in a gas-tight manner using a linear movement and includes a closure member, a first sealing surface of the valve housing that encloses the opening, and a corresponding second sealing surface of the closure member. In the closed position, the second sealing surface is in sealing contact with the first sealing surface. In the region between the opening and the first sealing surface, the valve housing includes a first sloped surface that encloses the opening, and the closure member includes a corresponding, parallel second sloped surface. The sloped surfaces, which have a sloping angle between 3 and 15 degrees relative to the geometric adjustment axis, are located such that, in the closed position of the closure member, the second sloped surface is arranged in a parallel position opposite the first sloped surface at a distance of 0 and 0.6 mm.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2012Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: VAT HOLDING AGInventors: Friedrich Geiser, Anton Neumeir, Berhard Duelli, Thomas Blecha, Karlheinz Summer

Patent number: 5379694Abstract: A lateral register system, in particular for flexible printing forms which are held by their edges in an axially extending gap in a plate cylinder, the edges being pre-bent according to the inclination of the gaps. The register system includes an insert strip for each printing form, which insert strip can be inserted into the gap and has at least one stationary register pin. When a plurality of printing forms are to be held in a common gap, the insert strips have different lengths and can be placed one on top of the other so that each printing form can cooperate with the register pin provided for it. Each insert strip can be adjusted individually in the axial direction of the plate cylinder by an adjusting system.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 1993Date of Patent: January 10, 1995Assignee: MAN Roland Druchmaschinen AGInventors: Josef Hajek, Anton Neumeir
