Patent number: 5096680Abstract: In a sorption bed which is formed as a fluidized bed reactor possibly with circulating fluid, or as a fixed-bed reactor, for dry waste gas or waste air, purification sorbents introduced in the dry state are contacted at a temperature range between about 30 and 130.degree. C. by the waste gas with an at least 2% oxygen content and the acidic and/or oxidizable noxious gaseous components of the waste gas are found by the sorbent. Noxious gaseous components potentially include SO.sub.x, HCl, HF, NO.sub.x, Co and also hydrocarbons. The average dwelling time of the sorbents is at least about 20 minutes, in general several hours or days, and the average grain size of sorbent is at most 125 microns. The sorbent is introduced fresh and in stoichiometric ratio, with spent sorbent being correspondingly removed. Sorbents which may be considered are primarily baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), Ca(OH).sub.2 and Mg(OH).sub.2.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 1988Date of Patent: March 17, 1992Assignee: Waagner-Biro AktiengesellschaftInventors: Ralf Lindbauer, Franz Mair

Patent number: 4920622Abstract: An apparatus for guiding and spreading a textile web comprising spreading rollers extending across the full width of the web and mounted on a unit in the support for the spreading rollers, pairs of fingerlike guide rollers which can be inclined toward one another in the direction of travel of the web. The holders and the two pairs of guide rollers can be moved together and apart by a threaded spindle.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 1988Date of Patent: May 1, 1990Assignee: Erhardt & Leimer GmbHInventors: Franz Mair, Wolfgang Lonner

Patent number: 4760626Abstract: There is disclosed a device for guiding and spreading out a moving material web, which includes a spreading station, a guide station and at least one edge-sensing system downstream from the guide station. The spreading station is arranged downstream from the guide station, so that very high web speeds can be realized because the web corrections are executed very gently and without whipping up the correcting pulses.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1987Date of Patent: August 2, 1988Assignee: Erhardt & Leimer GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Lonner, Franz Mair

Patent number: 4330909Abstract: An elongated knit web is flattened and guided by an apparatus having a support frame which extends longitudinally in a plane and which has an upstream and a downstream end. A pivot supports this frame for pivoting about a pivot axis transverse to the plane at the upstream end. A pair of transversely extending and longitudinally spaced spreader rollers are provided on the frame adjacent the upstream end and each has a pair of screwthread formations of opposite hand, these spreader rollers being driven to spread out the web transversely. A pair of transversely extending and longitudinally spaced guide rollers are provided on the frame between the spreader rollers and the downstream end, these guide rollers being freely rotating and having surfaces which are made to adhere to the web to prevent its edges from curling up. A control system pivots the frame about its pivot axis to position the edges of the exiting web.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 1980Date of Patent: May 25, 1982Assignee: Erhardt & Leimer KGInventors: Jurgen Peschke, Franz Mair, Ludwig Zerle

Patent number: 4197621Abstract: A sheet workpiece having an edge bent over on one face of the workpiece towards the center of the workpiece is continuously displaced in a transport direction over a flat support surface that lies against the other face of the workpiece at the bent-over edge. Compressed air is blown from a guide in a flow direction extending transverse to the transport direction, outwardly from the workpiece center, and generally parallel to the surface so as to blow this bent-over edge flat. A plurality of nozzles inclined slightly downwardly toward the surface and backwardly in the transport direction may be employed, as a single elongated nozzle producing a band-shaped current of air may be used, or a plurality of nozzles spread out in a two-dimensional array. Such a flow of air may also be directed from both faces at the workpiece edge in order to flatten out this edge no matter which way it is bent over.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 1979Date of Patent: April 15, 1980Assignee: Erhard & Leimer KGInventor: Franz Mair
