Patent number: 8308516Abstract: A spring terminal element, with a tensioning bracket mounted on a busbar piece such that it can move relative to the busbar piece has at least one clamping edge which engages under the busbar piece for clamping an electrical conductor between the clamping edge and the busbar piece and a helical spring which is operatively connected to the busbar piece and to the tensioning bracket. An operating cylinder can rotate and be fixed in position in the direction of the operating cylinder on the tensioning bracket or on the busbar piece. The screw thread on the operating cylinder engages with a screw thread on an operating section which is coupled to the tensioning bracket or to the busbar piece in order to move the tensioning bracket relative to the busbar piece during rotation of the operating cylinder.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2011Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: WAGO Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbHInventors: Stephan Gassaur, Jan Steussloff, Frank Hartmann

Publication number: 20120208393Abstract: The invention describes a spring-loaded connection with a busbar piece and a bent clamping spring, which has a bearing limb, a spring bend adjoining the bearing limb and a clamping limb which adjoins the spring bend opposite the transition between the bearing limb and the spring bend. The clamping limb is aligned with the busbar piece so as to form a clamping point for an electrical conductor. An actuating lug extends away from the clamping limb. The actuating lug extends from the clamping limb past the bearing limb into an actuating region located behind the bearing limb, when viewed from the clamping limb in the direction of the bearing limb. The actuating lug has, in this actuating region, an abutment for an actuating element which can be arranged in the actuating region between the bearing limb and the abutment.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2012Publication date: August 16, 2012Inventor: Frank Hartmann

Publication number: 20120028483Abstract: A spring terminal element (1) is described, with a busbar piece (2), a tensioning bracket (3), which is mounted on the busbar piece (2) such that it can move relative to the busbar piece (2) and has at least one clamping edge (5a, 5b), which engages under the busbar piece (2), for clamping an electrical conductor between the clamping edge (5a, 5b) and the busbar piece (2), and a helical spring (8), which is operatively connected to the busbar piece (2) and to the tensioning bracket (3) and exerts a spring force between the tensioning bracket (3) and the busbar piece (2). An operating cylinder (10, 19) with a screw thread is mounted such that it can rotate and fixed in position in the extent direction of the operating cylinder (10, 19) on the tensioning bracket (3) or on the busbar piece (2). The operating cylinder (10, 19) is arranged with its screw thread (11) essentially in the internal area of the tensioning bracket (3), at least in the clamping state when it is clamped on an electrical conductor (L).Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2011Publication date: February 2, 2012Applicant: WAGO Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbHInventors: Stephan Gassaur, Jan Steussloff, Frank Hartmann

Publication number: 20100282334Abstract: A flow control device for use in a supply line between a pressurised liquid container and a dispenser for the liquid. The flow control device comprises a chamber having an inlet for receiving liquid from the container and a base section comprising a chamber outlet for supplying liquid to the dispenser. A vent valve is included for venting gas from the chamber. A float valve includes a float section and a seat section and is movable to and from an open position wherein the chamber outlet is open to liquid flow and a closed position wherein the chamber outlet is closed to liquid flow. A float valve opening mechanism is included wherein the float section of the float valve comprises a plurality of protrusions, at least some of which engage the inside of the chamber so as to locate the float valve substantially in line with the chamber outlet. In this way, the float valve can guide itself into the correct position without the need for additional guiding components.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2008Publication date: November 11, 2010Inventor: Frank Hartmann

Publication number: 20100270229Abstract: A filtering device (100) for plastic melts exhibits at least one screen plunger (10) arranged movably between an inlet channel (5) and an outlet channel (6) of a housing (1) and containing replaceable, three-dimensional filter elements (25). The inside of the filter elements (25) is connected to at least one melt channel (11, 12) formed in the screen plunger (10). The melt channel is connected to the inlet or outlet channel (5, 6) of the housing (1) when in the production position. The screen plunger (10) exhibits at least one receiving chamber (14) that can be closed using a cover (16) on the face side. Several filter elements (25) are bundled with a central distribution element (20) to a filter cartridge (30) that can be placed in the receiving chamber (14).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2010Publication date: October 28, 2010Applicant: KREYENBORG BETEILIGUNGEN UND VERWAL TUNGEN GmbH & CO.

Patent number: 7086001Abstract: A system of networked computers and peripherals and document delivery software which provides a user with a familiar simple user interface to deliver documents to a variety of different destinations. Each document generation device participating in the system is provided with a unified print driver which translates an electronic document into a non-specific or printer independent printer language file and appends to this file a job ticket containing any other rendering characteristics which may not be supported by the printer independent language. This entire file is then transmitted to the system server which analyzes the file, including the rendering characteristics; determines the best output device(s); appends output device specific commands to the general printer language file; and transmits this file to the device(s) for final output.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 1998Date of Patent: August 1, 2006Assignee: OCÉ-USA, Inc.Inventors: Dennis W. Hicks, Richard Newman, Gary Johnson, Lisa O'Toole, David Hay, Chris Gyllenskog, Steven C. Johnson, Matt Stephenson, Frank Hartmann, Ray Asbury, Eric Luttmann
