Abstract: The described method serves for trimming or cutting during conveyance in a conveying direction (F) substantially in parallel to their main surfaces, flat objects along predetermined cutting lines parallel to the conveying direction (F). The objects are conveyed between a first and a second cutting edge (SK1 and SK2) and are cut by a relative movement of the two cutting edges. The first cutting edge (SK1) is positioned, e.g. stationary, in the plane of a support surface supporting the objects and for each cutting process, the second cutting edge (SK2) is moved past the first cutting edge in such a manner that at least the cutting point on the second cutting edge has a speed component in conveying direction (F) which has the same size as the conveying direction and a speed component perpendicular to the support surface.

Abstract: An apparatus for processing printed products which has a stationary processing channel (14), and a feeding arrangement (28) for introducing printed products (12) into the processing channel in an imbricated formation. A conveying arrangement (26) transports the printed products which are introduced into the processing channel (14) longitudinally along the channel. The feeding arrangement (28) has a conveying member (38), which is driven in the feeding direction (Z), and a pressure-exerting element (42), which forms a conveying nip (40) with the conveying member. The conveying nip (40) terminates at a distance (E) above the base (16) which is somewhat greater than the dimension (G) of the printed products (12), measured at right angles to the leading edge (12') of the latter. The conveying arrangement (26) has conveying elements (24") with a deflecting surface (30) for the printed products (12) which are still retained in the conveying nip (40).

Abstract: According to the inventive method for joining product parts by means of a glued spine, the juxtaposed edges of the stacked product parts which form the spine area (2) of the product in process are pre-treated with a tearing tool (4) e.g. with a rotating brush. The method is especially advantageous for joining multi-layer product parts with multi-layer folded edges to be joined, whereby the folded edges are torn up by the tearing tool (4) to a depth at least reaching the innermost layer. The inventive method is also applicable in the sense of stitching, for joining the individual layers of one single product part with one multi-layer folded edge.

Abstract: Sample bags are produced from webs of film material by forming longitudinal seams and longitudinally spaced transverse seams and by filling the bags with a sample product between forming the transverse seams. In order to make the bags easier to handle, the longitudinal seams are thickened so that the thickness of the seams is equal to the thickness of the center of the bag. Thickening is done by rolling or folding the seams or by adding frames or strips of additional material either between or outside the seam portions of the webs. The resulting bags are more easily stacked, handled and inserted into publications for distribution.

Abstract: A fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines having a filter body inserted into the fuel inflow conduit, an injection valve and a check valve, which maintains a static pressure in the injection nozzle and can also perform a relief function for the prevention of after-injections. The check valve is integrated into the filter body thereby simplifying the final assembly of the injection nozzle. The filter body is advantageously embodied as a rod-type filter, which by the appropriate shaping of its jacket periphery forms gap-like spaces between itself and the surrounding wall of the nozzle holder through which spaces the fuel must pass such that it is deflected multiple times.

Abstract: A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines having an injection timing adjustment by means of a hydraulically actuated piston is proposed, the injection timing adjustment being loaded by two restoring springs. Between the two springs, which have different forces, there is a common spring support plate. The variable functional path of the springs is determined by means of a stop and a coupler member.

Abstract: A fuel injection system is proposed for Diesel type internal combustion engines, by means of which the ignition conditions of a Diesel engine are kept optimal even during operation at high altitudes despite a reduced air charge. The system includes a fuel injection pump equipped with an injection timing adjustment apparatus which functions in accordance with rpm and a control apparatus functions in accordance with the air quantity supplied to the engine. By means of the control apparatus, a correction controlled in accordance with air pressure and therefore dependent on air quantity is superimposed on the change in the onset of the fuel supply controlled by the injection adjuster at least in accordance with rpm. When a hydraulic injection adjuster is used, the supply pressure of a control pump is increased by a correcting final control element of the control apparatus when the air quantity is decreasing in the direction toward an early adjustment of the onset of supply.

Abstract: A piston-cylinder unit for shock absorbers or the like is formed with a tubular container surrounding the cylinder and with a piston rod guide and sealing unit mounted at one end of the container with a support for the cylinder at the other end of the container. In order to effect a satisfactory sealing action at the fixing points of the cylinder, the cylinder is formed with a radial indentation.
