  • Patent number: 9186840
    Abstract: The invention relates to a holding ring for a blow mould for locking and fixing a plastics material pre-form, with a support face for supporting a collar of the plastics material pre-form and a receiving cavity extending at a right angle to a main extension plane of the support face for receiving a neck region of the plastics material pre-form, wherein the receiving cavity is widened radially outwards in a conical manner at least locally in the cross-sectional area thereof starting from the support face along a longitudinal direction (L) of the plastics material pre-form.

  • Patent number: 9044888
    Abstract: An apparatus for shaping plastics material pre-forms into plastics material containers with a blow mold which has at least two blow mold parts which are arranged so as to be movable with respect to each other on first and second blow mold carrier parts. A pressure pad arrangement is arranged between at least one blow mold carrier part and the blow mold part. The pressure pad arrangement is designed in such a way that the force acting between the blow mold carrier part and the blow mold part has a first force component which acts in a first pre-set region in the peripheral direction of the blow mold part and a second force component which acts in a second pre-set region in the peripheral direction of the blow mold part.

  • Patent number: 8579251
    Abstract: The invention relates to a solenoid valve, particularly for controlling the brake pressure of a wheel brake of a slip-controllable hydraulic brake system of a motor vehicle. In known solenoid valves, there is a first hydraulically effective connection of an armature chamber of the solenoid valve to an outlet through the guide of a tappet in a valve insert. The first hydraulically effective connection ends in the form of a blind hole and thus does not permit flushing out gas bubbles which possibly have accumulated in the armature chamber. In order to solve this problem, the invention proposes a second hydraulically effective connection which is arranged away from the guide of the tappet, uncoupled from the first hydraulically effective connection. Thus, a closed pressure medium path is effected within a valve cartridge of the solenoid valve, the closed pressure medium path making possible an effective flushing of the armature chamber and thus a flushing out of gas bubbles.

  • Patent number: 8109397
    Abstract: A container made from plastic for holding beverages. The container comprises a mouth, a wall section which adjoins the mouth in a longitudinal direction (L) of the container, and a base section which is designed as a standing face. The wall section merges into the base section. The container is formed in one piece. The base section has an injection point located in the interior in a radial direction (R) with respect to the longitudinal direction (L), and a central region which surrounds this injection point, and also a transition section which extends from the central region to the wall section. The transition section has a curvature with a finite radius of curvature in at least one and preferably in every radial direction (R) of the container in every geometric sub-section.

  • Patent number: 7575218
    Abstract: The invention relates to a magnet valve, having a valve insert and a tappet guided movably in the valve insert via a tappet guide, which tappet is braced on a valve body via a restoring spring resting a contact face of the tappet, and the restoring spring is guided radially from inside on one end by a spring guide of the tappet, the spring guide adjoining the contact face. According to the invention, centering means are present, which are disposed on the tappet in such a way that the restoring spring is centered and radially guided from inside over a substantial portion of its length.
