  • Publication number: 20070183870
    Abstract: The invention relates to a storage and retrieval system having at least one mast, which is supported at its lower mast end on a running rail via at least two running wheels and can be moved along the running rail guided by at least one driven running wheel of the running rail, having a guide rail (2), which is arranged in the region of the upper mast end (1) and extends parallel to the running rail, having guide rollers, which are mounted such that they can rotate at the upper mast end (1) and bear against the guide rail (2) on both sides so as to guide the mast. In order to damp the mast oscillations occurring during movement, at least one friction roller (4) is provided that rolls on the guide rail (2) and an eddy current brake (7) is provided that is driven by the friction roller (4).

  • Publication number: 20070070847
    Abstract: A method of identifying a mechanically readable medium is described. The medium, for instance a gramophone record, a magnetic tape or a celluloid film, contains information which is contained in a continuous sequence on the medium and is intended for optical or acoustic reproduction. A sequence of markings which individualizes the medium, and which can be read out together with the acoustic or optical information, is formed in the area of this acoustic or optical information.

  • Patent number: 5431708
    Abstract: A process for preventing the formation of dust during the loading of sulfate fertilizer granulates includes spraying a high-percent aqueous solution of urea onto the fertilizer granulates. The amount of aqueous solution sprayed ranges from 4 to 8 kg of solution per ton of granulate. The concentration of urea within the solution is between 50% and 80% by weight.

  • Patent number: 4611853
    Abstract: In an articulated fitting for vehicle seats, particularly motor vehicle seats, having an upper fitting element (4) to be connected with the back rest, a lower fitting element (3) to be connected with the seat portion, an intermediate element (5), which is pivotably connected both with the upper fitting element and with the lower fitting element about a hinged axis (6) and a lower-lying folding axis (13), respectively, and having an adjusting and holding device that engages the upper fitting element (4) and the intermediate element (5) for the adjustment of the angle of inclination of the back rest and the folding lock (14,17,18,20) which permits a pivoting of the upper fitting element (4) and the intermediate element (5) about the folding axis (13) only when in the opened condition, the connecting line between the pivot axis (6) and the folding axis (13) when the folding lock is closed, encompasses an angle of at most 30.degree.

  • Patent number: 4322112
    Abstract: The adjustable hinge mount for motor vehicle seats having a reclinable seat back comprises means for holding respective hinge members of the mount in a fixed axial position. The holding means comprises a bearing shield supported for rotation on the rotary axle interconnecting the two hinge members. The rim portions of the shield above the rotary axle and on the level of the latter are connected to the outer hinge member assigned to the seat back in such a manner that substantially no axial play takes place. The lower range of the outer hinge member is secured against axial play by means of a Z-shaped guiding plate integrally connected to the hinge member assigned to the seat proper.

  • Patent number: 4275924
    Abstract: The hinge mount for a motor vehicle seat having a reclinable seat back comprising a wobble gear assembly which includes an internal gear and a spur gear formed integrally with the assigned hinge member by impressing a wall portion of the hinge member to such a depth that the inner surface of the impressed portion is flush with an outer surface of the hinge member and simultaneously with the precision stamping of the external or internal teeth of respective gears there are formed wall bridges in the interstices between the teeth by a continuous cold pressing process.

  • Patent number: 4113308
    Abstract: A seat has a seat element and a back element which is to be tiltable forwardly and rearwardly relative to the seat element. Two hinges are provided at the opposite sides of the seat and each includes a first hinge member on the seat element and a cooperating second hinge member on the back element. Each hinge has an arrangement which connects the first and second hinge members thereof for relative pivoting and which includes a first gear turnable with one of the hinge members and a second gear turnable with the other hinge member, the two gears having cooperating annuli of gear teeth which mesh with one another. One of the gears can be disengaged from its associated hinge member so that the latter can turn freely relative to this gear. The arrangement for this purpose includes a first abutment system which normally connects the gear to the associated hinge member, and a second abutment system which also normally connects the gear to the associated hinge member.
