Abstract: A plate dividing-system includes a first advancing device for moving plate-shaped workpieces, the first advancing device having a first support and a plurality of first gripping mechanisms, the plate dividing-system having a second advancing device for moving plate-shaped workpieces, the second advancing device having a second support and at least a second gripping mechanism. In addition, the plate dividing-system features a feed area that extends transversely to the advancing device, in which feed area the workpieces to be moved are arranged. The second support is arranged laterally outside the feed area and is movable in the direction of feed.

Abstract: A heat shield for mounting on a heat-radiating object, particularly on a rocket engine comprises a first planar element having a front side and a back side. In its mounted state, the first planar element extending from the heat-radiating object toward the outside, with its front side being exposed to the heat radiation at least of a section of the heat-radiating object. A second insulating element having a front side and a back side is arranged on the back side of the first planar element in such a manner that a gap is formed between the back side of the first planar element and the front side of the second element. In the mounted state of the heat shield, the gap widens in the direction from the heat-radiating object toward the outside.

Abstract: A method and device is provided for multiaxial handling and guiding workpieces (9), particularly vehicle body subassemblies, in a processing station (2) relative to one or more processing devices (11). The workpieces (9) are placed on a supporting device (17) and, together with the supporting device (17), are handled by a number of multiaxially moving manipulators (15, 16) in common directions that are coordinated with one another, and are guided. The workpieces (9) are received by the manipulators (15, 16) together with the supporting device (17) at a receiving area (13) and are moved to a spatially separate processing area (14) and back again, whereby they are displaced relative to one or more processing devices (11) in the processing area (14) during the processing process.

Abstract: A plate divider-system (10) comprises a first advancing device (20) for moving plate-shaped workpieces (18), said advancing device comprising a first support (26) and a variety of first gripping mechanisms (24) and of a second advancing device (28), which comprises a second support (30) and at least a second gripping mechanism (32). In addition, the plate divider-system features a feed area (28) that extends transversally to the advancing device (22), in which feed area the workpieces (18) to be moved can be arranged, and which manifests a first working width (40) diagonally to the advancing device (22), in which the first gripping mechanisms (24) are arranged, and a second working width (42), in which the second gripping mechanism (32) is arranged. The second support (30) is arranged laterally outside the feed area (38) and is movable in the direction of feed (22).

In the mounted state of the heat shield, the gap widens in the direction from the heat-radiating object toward the outside.

Abstract: On a panel frame 1 of a closure made of metal or plastic profiles, the grooved surface 4 has a guide channel 5 which is open on one side, but provided on both sides with undercuttings 6 in the crosswise direction for the accommodation of a connecting rod. The connecting rod found in guide channel 5 is coupled by the open side of the latter with a control mechanism, which has a pinion 14 that can be driven by an operating handle and is supported in a housing. In the region of incorporation of the control mechanism, the metal or plastic profile of panel frame 1 is provided with a notch 22, which penetrates the bottom 8 of guide channel 5 and in which is engaged the housing segment 15 of the control mechanism supporting pinion 14. At least one of the ends of a coupling slide bar 17 of longitudinally displaceable guiding housing segment 16 of the control mechanism permanently engaged with pinion 14 is supported in front of the open side of guide channel 5 on the metal or plastic profile.

Abstract: A plate sectioning saw with a closing plate for controlling access to a discharge opening for the program controlled sectioning of sets of plates and separation of scrap and discard plates from the sectioned plates, is provided with an orienting device for aligning the sets of workpiece plates prior to sectioning.

Abstract: Disclosed is an article of manufacture, comprising a hollow rod comprised of a longitudinally gathered tube of cellulose hydrate-based material, the hollow rod having a latent water content of between about 25% and 100% by weight based upon the total weight of the hollow rod and being free of chemical anti-bacteriocidal agent; a closed, substantially gas impermeable packaging sheath having a hollow interior chamber therein, with the hollow rod being positioned in the hollow interior chamber, whereby the hollow rod is completely enveloped by the packaging sheath, wherein the packaging sheath is comprised of a flexible film of material which is substantially impermeable to gases; and a protective gas essentially filling the remaining portion of the hollow interior chamber, with the gas protecting the hollow rod against the formation of aerobic microorganisms on the water-containing cellulose hydrate-based material.
