Patent number: 5125289Abstract: A noise muffling assembly, particularly for use with toothed wheel gear units having a partitioned housing (1), within which moving machine elements (2) are positioned, the shafts (3, 4) of which are supported in the housing, whereby only one housing part (6) is, by the attachment bases (7, 7'), attached to a base (8). At least the housing part (6) which is connected by the attachment base (7, 7') to the base (8) supports the shafts (3, 4) and includes, between its shafts (3, 4) and the attachment bases (7, 7'), a plurality of separation points (10, 10') lying at a distance from one another in such a manner that a long sound route (S) results. The separation points (10, 10') each consist of noise muffling elements (11, 12) which are constructed independently of one another, and are joined together by connecting parts (19, 20, 21) and whereby the noise muffling element (12) lying at the greatest distance from the housing (1), has the attachment bases (7, 7').Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 1989Date of Patent: June 30, 1992Assignee: BHS-Bayerische Berg-, Hutten- und SalzwerkeInventor: Gunther Heidrich

Patent number: 5085093Abstract: A power splitting transmission, particularly for high energy and/or for high rotational speeds. Two sun gears are connected to the shaft of a drive starting and stopping mechanism and are coupled to each other by at least three double power splitting gears which are arranged equidistantly about the circumference of the sun gears and connected thereto by a coupling. The coupling and the connection with the shaft of the drive starting and stopping mechanism together function as a membrane coupling.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 1991Date of Patent: February 4, 1992Assignee: BHS-Voith Getriebetechnik GmbHInventor: Gunther Heidrich

Patent number: 4686868Abstract: A soundproofed gear box, in particular a toothed wheel gear box with moving mechanical parts connected with a housing over bearing carriers, whereby the housing is provided with mounting feet. The bearing carrier (5, 6) is only connected with the area of the housing remote from the mounting feet (20).Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 1986Date of Patent: August 18, 1987Inventor: Gunther Heidrich

Patent number: 4610182Abstract: The planetary gear comprises a sun wheel seated on an impeller shaft of a jet engine, planet wheels rotatable on bearing pins which are clamped at one side, and a hollow wheel ring gear. As a result of centering by the planet wheels, the sun wheel provides a bearing for the impeller shaft and the hollow wheel provides a bearing for a slow shaft of an electrical engine. Another bearing for the slow shaft may be designed as a radial/axial bearing arranged in the gear housing. The hollow wheel 10 itself is radially elastic and is fastened to the shaft by way of a thin-walled annular extension.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 1984Date of Patent: September 9, 1986Assignee: BHS-Bayerische Berg-Hutten -und Salzwerk AGInventor: Gunther Heidrich

Patent number: 4568289Abstract: A marine transmission gear unit with double drive where two driving engines are arranged offset from and on one side of and parallel to a propeller shaft axis and on opposite sides of gear train assembly including a common pinion gear and a greater wheel gear coupled to the propeller shaft. The two driving engines are arranged to drive the greater wheel gear by way of the pinion gear. An intermediate gear unit is coupled between the common pinion and at least one of the driving engines and a clutch device is disposed in the drive train adjacent the greater wheel. One or both engines are coupled to the common pinion through an intermediate gear unit. The engines can be codirectional in one direction or the opposite direction or can be contra-directed one relative to the other. The engines can be axially offset or coaxial. The clutch device may comprise an overriding clutch assembly. The intermediate gear unit may comprise either a spur gear and a planetary gear assembly, or a pair of planetary gear assemblies.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 1983Date of Patent: February 4, 1986Assignee: BHS-Bayerische Berg-, Hutten-und SalzwerkeInventors: Gunther Heidrich, Karl Stolzle

Patent number: 4429586Abstract: In a double-oblique-toothed stage spur wheel drive, the first stage includes a first pinion which drives a first toothed wheel by way of an intermediate wheel. The first stage drives the second stage which includes a second pinion coupled with the first toothed wheel and a second toothed wheel meshing with said second pinion. The first pinion and the first toothed wheel each include a respective coaxial pair of gear wheel halves having oppositely-directed oblique teeth, and the intermediate wheel includes two pairs of intermediate gearwheel halves, with all of the gear wheel halves being coaxially disposed. One of said intermediate gear wheel half pairs engages with the first pinion and the other engages with the first toothed wheel.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 1980Date of Patent: February 7, 1984Assignee: BHS-Bayerische Berg, Hutten-und Salzwerke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Maximilian Dopfer, Gunther Heidrich

Patent number: 4035076Abstract: A photographic copying machine wherein the leader of a fresh web of photographic paper is automatically threaded through a copying station and thereupon through one or more additional stations whereby the leader advances along an elongated path which is defined by stationary and pivotable guide members. Each pivotable guide member is movable by an electromagnet between an operative position in which it overlies at least a portion of an opening provided by the adjacent stationary guide member or members and an inoperative position in which the respective opening is exposed. Pivotable guide members are provided at a copying station where the web is exposed to printing light and at a feeding station where the web can form one or more loops in a suitable magazine when the respective pivotable guide member is moved to its inoperative position.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 1975Date of Patent: July 12, 1977Assignee: AGFA-Gevaert AktiengesellschaftInventors: Christian Gotze, Adolf Fleck, Karl Dreher, Gunther Heidrich
