  • Patent number: 10487540
    Abstract: The locking cylinder has a stator and a rotor, which can rotate in the stator and has a key opening into which a key can be inserted. The locking cylinder has a multiplicity of tumbler-mating-tumbler pairs, wherein each of the tumblers has a first part and a second part that are connected to one another, for example, with a press fit. In the method for programming a locking cylinder, the locking cylinder has at least one two-part tumbler, having parts that are connected to one another with a press fit. In the method, when a key is introduced into the key opening a length, effective in terms of locking, of the tumbler is changed by the first part and the second part sliding one into the other or moving apart from one another, in particular is reduced by them sliding one into the other.

  • Patent number: 7888837
    Abstract: A rotor for a generator includes a cylindrical rotor body with axial winding slots which are arranged in a distributed manner over the circumference and in which are arranged conductor elements which extend in the axial direction. A cooling medium from a sub-slot which is arranged at the bottom of the winding slot is fed along the axis in periodic intervals to the conductor elements. Beneath the conductor elements provision is made for ripple springs which in each case press the conductor elements of a winding slot against a slot wedge which closes off the winding slot at the top. With such a rotor, an adequate spring force is achieved by the ripple springs being arranged at the bottom of the sub-slot and, via an axial profile which is arranged in the sub-slot, acting by their spring force upon the conductor elements which lie above them.
