  • Patent number: 11845619
    Abstract: A clamp device for retaining a container in a container-handling apparatus, for example for retaining a drinks container at a neck portion or at a body portion, includes two clamp arms, which each have a retaining portion for retaining the container which is to be retained, and at least one prestressing element for prestressing the retaining portions towards one another, wherein for the purpose of adjusting the distance which is present between the retaining portions, the clamp arms are designed in a displaceable manner in relation to the prestressing of the at least one prestressing element. A container-handling apparatus having at least one clamp device is also described.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10408181
    Abstract: The invention relates to a gas metering valve (1) for a dual fuel engine (17), which has a displaceable closing body (6) which, in a position of resting against a valve seat (5), closes the gas metering valve (1) and, in a position of being lifted off from the valve seat (5), opens the gas metering valve (1). The gas metering valve (1) is actuatable in a gas operating mode, in which the gas metering valve (1) meters combustion gas via a gas channel (13) into an intake manifold (15) of the dual fuel engine (17), and in a liquid fuel operating mode, in which the gas metering valve (1) remains sealingly closed against the pressure prevalent in the intake manifold (15).

  • Patent number: 9849623
    Abstract: Hollow part manufacturing machine includes at least one mold in which hollow parts can be manufactured by application of a pressurized medium, a valve unit, having at least two valves, wherein an inlet of a second valve is connected to a second pressure accumulator, which is pressurized under a second pressure, and an outlet of the second valve is connected to a blow nozzle via a channel. The inlet of a first valve is connected to a first pressure accumulator that is under a first pressure and the outlet of the first valve is also connected to the blow nozzle via a channel. During at least a part of the molding process, the blow nozzle seals the material to be molded, and/or the mold, relative to the environment.

  • Publication number: 20160107368
    Abstract: Hollow part manufacturing machine includes at least one mould in which hollow parts can be manufactured by application of a pressurised medium, a valve unit, having at least two valves, wherein an inlet of a second valve is connected to a second pressure accumulator, which is pressurised under a second pressure, and an outlet of the second valve is connected to a blow nozzle via a channel. The inlet of a first valve is connected to a first pressure accumulator that is under a first pressure and the outlet of the first valve is also connected to the blow nozzle via a channel. During at least a part of the moulding process, the blow nozzle seals the material to be moulded, and/or the mould, relative to the environment.
