  • Patent number: 7574958
    Abstract: In a sheet gripper, a dimensionally stable base material and an elastic clamping surface material are connected to each other in a form-fitting manner. The elastic clamping surface material functions as a clamping surface of the sheet gripper. This forms a sheet gripper having a long service life and is easy manufacture.

  • Patent number: 5992321
    Abstract: A device for holding and tautening cylinder packings on printing machine cylinders, with at least one tension element whereon a cylinder packing is held, the tension element being pivotable coaxially with the cylinder axis, includes a rotatable lever, a locking device for locking the lever, and a spring member for transmitting a tensioning force to the tension element during a rotational movement of the lever so as to tauten the cylinder packing; and a printing machine including the foregoing device.

  • Patent number: 5171571
    Abstract: It is known to produce effervescent tablets incorporating salicyl acid analgetics gained synthetically, and, is required, vitamin adjuvants. In order to avoid the disadvantages of synthetically manufactured salicyl acid in such effervescent tablets, namely the irritation of the gastric mucosas and the inhibition of thrombocyte aggregation, and simultaneously to bring about new fields of use for effervescent tablets, an effervescent tablet is suggested which has, as an analgesic agent forming salicyclic acid, a water-soluble plant extract of the salicis extract type (willow bark extract) with a high active substance content. Thus, a galenically appropriate administration form of these generally extremely hygroscopic extracts is obtained. In the effervescent tablet, high active substance quantities can be resorbed rapidly, the salicyl acid forming the final active substance only being formed in the liver.
