Patent number: 8555542Abstract: A sighting telescope mounting system for a firearm. The firearm and/or the telescope in the desired position are aligned in an axial direction, with a pivot foot attached to the telescope and with a pivot holding device affixed to the firearm. The pivot foot and pivot holding device jointly form a pivot joint, which enables a pivot of the sighting telescope by a pivot angle around a pivot range, on a plane which is formed by the telescope and the axial direction of the firearm. A connection surface is arranged on the pivot holding device and a clamping surface is arranged on the pivot foot and forms a contact area with the connection surface so that the pivot foot is axially affixed. In the desired position, the contact area is arranged at a distance from an edge of the connection surface in a radial alignment and/or towards the telescope.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2011Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Inventor: Gerhard Ziegler

Patent number: 8533988Abstract: A sighting telescope mounting system for a firearm for mounting a sighting telescope onto the firearm in a desired position, wherein the firearm and/or the sighting telescope are aligned in the desired position in an axial direction, with an arresting foot which can be attached to the sighting telescope and with an arresting holding device which can be affixed to the firearm. The arresting foot has at least one support area and the arresting holding device has at least one connection area, wherein due to the support area and the connection area in a contact area, a form-fit connection of the arresting foot on the arresting holding device is attained in a first radial direction. The arresting foot and the arresting holding device form an arrest which detachably affixes the arresting foot in the other radial direction.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2010Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Inventor: Gerhard Ziegler

Patent number: 5976330Abstract: An electrode (10) for performing an electrochemical treatment process has two cathode disks (35, 45) used as treatment locations for a component (55). By means of a return flow channel (23) formed parallel with the inflow bore (12), these two treatment locations are possible one behind the other, viewed in the axial direction of the electrode (10). Furthermore, the gaps (43, 45, 38, 39) located at both sides of the cathode disks (35, 45) have been embodied to be of different sizes. Together with the shape and the radius of the cathode disks (35, 45), contours with different sections are possible. The electrode (10) makes possible an economical production of components with specially shaped contours, and several contours in a single work step.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 1998Date of Patent: November 2, 1999Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Gerhard Ziegler, Hans Angermaier
