  • Patent number: 10731727
    Abstract: A prestressing cable, in particular for static structures, that includes a longitudinal element and connection elements at the end faces of the longitudinal element. The longitudinal element has stranded wires, the end faces of which are anchored into the connection elements. The prestressing cable includes approximately parallel strands, each of which has stranded wires. The wires are spread apart at their end faces in the funnel-shaped opening of the respective connection element and anchored by a casting process, wherein the frustum-shaped funnel widens away from the strands.

  • Publication number: 20170299018
    Abstract: The invention relates to a prestressing cable (1), in particular for static structures, said cable being provided with a longitudinal element (1?) and connection elements (2) at the end faces of said element. The longitudinal element (1?) has a plurality of stranded wires, the end faces of which are anchored into the connection elements (2). The prestressing cable (1) is composed of multiple approximately parallel strands (3a, 3b, 3c), each of which comprises multiple stranded wires (7). The wires (7) are spread apart at their end faces in the funnel-shaped opening (5) of the respective connection element (2) and anchored by a casting process, wherein the frustum-shaped funnel widens away from the strands (3a, 3b, 3c). The straight arrangement of multiple strands results in particular in the significant improvement of the properties relating to vibrational loads even with wires of high strength.

  • Publication number: 20080223593
    Abstract: Disclosed is a handle including a grip element and a fastening element situated on the grip element; the fastening element protrudes at least partway into the grip element and is guided in the grip element with a radial play. The handle is characterized by means of at least one damping element that is situated on the grip element so that it functions as a stop for limiting the radial play of the fastening element in the grip element.

  • Publication number: 20040128776
    Abstract: A tensioning element (1), especially for the suspension of building components, is provided with a number of wires (3) arranged approximately in parallel forming a wire cable (2). These wires (3) are anchored at each end in an end piece (6) absorbing the tensile forces exerted on the wire cable. The end piece (6) is at least partly provided with a plastic deformable sheath (6b) which serves to house one end of a wire cable, where this sheath (6b) is compressible with the end of the wire cable. This enables rapid anchoring of the wire cable in the end piece and this guarantees a high breaking load.

  • Patent number: 6279858
    Abstract: A wire netting, preferably used as a gravel screen or for protecting a soil surface layer is woven from corrosion-resistant wires and either fitted on the soil surface or secured in an almost upright position on a slope or something similar. The wires in the wire netting are manufactured from heavy-duty steel, which has a nominal strength in the region of 1000 to 2200 N/mm2 and steel wire may be used for this for stranded wires or spring steel wire. The wire netting is manufactured from rectangular, diagonal netting and it has a three-dimensional, mattress-like structure.

  • Patent number: 5597017
    Abstract: A retaining net is made of wire rings which are interlooped when producing at least some of the rings while other rings that participate in the interlooping are prefabricated. Such nets are used for protection against falling rocks, avalanches, and mud slides. The interlooping rings are formed by feeding a wire (22) through a bending tool (15) to form several turns that interloop with at least two prefabricated rings (20A, 20B) that are held by suspender members (31) so that the rings (20 being formed extend crosswise to the prefabricated rings. When the formation of a first row of interlooped rings is completed, that row is interlooped with a second row and so forth. The interlooped ring structure provides a simple, cost effective construction method for strong retaining nets.

  • Patent number: 5407381
    Abstract: In an electric hand machine tool, particularly an angle grinding machine, for the purpose of ergonomic handling the handle, together with the switch bar, is designed to be rotatable, relative to the tool mounting on the gear head (11). For the rapid, problem-free changing of the position of the handle relative to the tool mounting, the handle (12) can be locked against rotation on the motor casing, containing the electric drive, in at least two turned positions by a manually operable locking device, and can be clamped on the motor casing by a manually operable clamp device. In a preferred embodiment the locking device (40) and clamp device are coupled together by constraint and are operated simultaneously by means of a single tightening lever.

  • Patent number: 5339572
    Abstract: A hand-held machine tool, particularly an angle grinder, has a device housing (10) which is divided into a motor housing (11) and a handle (15) which is arranged at one end of the latter and is rotatable relative thereto. A positioning device (20) ensures that the rotatable handle (15) is fixed in different rotational positions at the motor housing (11). A simple construction of the positioning device (20) is achieved in that a central bearing neck (22) is formed on at the motor housing (11), one of the housing shells (151) of the handle (15) which is constructed from two shells being supported in an annular groove (23) provided at the bearing neck (22).
