Patent number: 5327079Abstract: Previously, only webs between connectors in reactor pressure vessel lids have been examined for incipient cracks by using an ultrasonic scanning head. In order to be able to test the connector penetrated by a bush from an annular gap formed between the connector and the bush, a frame is provided which carries a housing through lockable floating bearings for receiving a rotary plate in the housing. The rotary plate is concentrically associated with a centering piece which is adjustable in the vertical direction and is eccentrically associated with a lifting cylinder which is likewise vertically adjustable. A free end of the lifting cylinder carries a probe drive for inserting a probe into the annular gap. The annular gap is scanned by the probe due to an oscillating movement of the rotary plate.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1992Date of Patent: July 5, 1994Assignee: ABB Reaktor GmbHInventors: Hans Haller, Filippo D'Annucci

Patent number: 5327080Abstract: Previously when testing a connector penetration of a reactor pressure vessel lid, one assumed that an annular gap between the connector and the sleeve was concentric. However, tests have shown that in some lid structures a deflection of the connector took place after cooling to room temperature, which led to an eccentric configuration of the sleeve and the connector. In order to be able to completely test such annular gaps, a method and device for nondestructive testing of a penetration of a reactor pressure vessel lid according to the invention includes displacing the sleeve with the help of a thrust piece, until an accessible annular gap is reached. A sensor then arrives at the annular gap through a recess in the thrust piece.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 1993Date of Patent: July 5, 1994Assignee: ABB Reaktor GmbHInventor: Hans Haller

Patent number: 5152040Abstract: Heretofore, dimples or recesses that were distributed over the periphery of a cylindrical wall of a counterbore in a component had to be formed or inserted one after the other, which required complicated positioning work. According to the invention, in order to simultaneously form all of the dimples with a simple positioning device, a deflection body is provided through which at least two milling spindles pass in a planet-like disposition relative to a central control rod. The deflection body is connected to a centering piece facing the counterbore and to an intermediate piece facing away from the counterbore. The intermediate piece in turn forms a type of cylinder/piston connection with a gear housing. Each milling spindle is connected to an output shaft of a gear housing by a flexible shaft that is axially movably guided in between.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 1991Date of Patent: October 6, 1992Assignee: ABB Reaktor GmbHInventors: Hans Haller, Klaus Schreiner

Patent number: 5053187Abstract: Apparatus for positioning a mast for the inspection and/or repair of a core shroud of a water-cooled nuclear reactor, heretofore have had television cameras directed at centering pins and bores from the side. Due to the inclined direction of surveillance, the alignment produced therewith has been inaccurate. In order to achieve a precise positioning, according to the invention a marking element which is provided between the television camera and the support plate has markings which can be brought into alignment with a marking made on the support plate. The centering pins and the bores are disposed concentrically to one another once they have been brought into alignment.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1990Date of Patent: October 1, 1991Assignee: ABB Reaktor GmbHInventor: Hans Haller

Patent number: 4788886Abstract: A planetary transfer transmission for the drive of two vehicle axles of a motor vehicle, whereby a central input shaft, a coaxial central output shaft, and a concentric output shaft, in a torsionally fixed way, are respectively connected with one gear element of a planetary wheel gear that can be locked by a locking multi-disk clutch. An input wheel of an axle offset gear, that can be driven by the concentric output shaft, the planetary wheel transmission, and the locking multi-disk clutch are arranged in line to one another.The input wheel is disposed on the side of the locking multi-disk clutch that is opposed to the planetary wheel gear and, in a torsionally fixed way, is held on an outer hollow shaft that is rotatably disposed on the concentric output shaft and can be brought into driving connection with the concentric output shaft by an axle-connecting multi-disk clutch that is arranged on the side of the input wheel that is opposed to the locking multi-disk clutch.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 1987Date of Patent: December 6, 1988Assignee: Daimler-Benz AktiengesellschaftInventors: Erwin Nussbaumer, Rainer Gross, Herbert Botzelmann, Hans Haller, Franz Buchwald

Patent number: 4718302Abstract: In an epicyclic distributor gear-box for driving two vehicle axles of a motor vehicle, a main shaft concentric with one of two coaxial main shafts is connected to the sun wheel of an epicyclic gear-box. Each of the two other gear elements of the epicyclic gear-box are connected to one of the coaxial main shafts. A lock-up plate clutch connected to two of the gear elements is engaged by a spring and disengaged by an axial pressure piston. Each half-clutch has a plate carrier and one of the plate carriers has an abutment supporting all the plates. The abutment is both immovably fixed on the concentric main shaft by releasable fasteners and is provided with axial passage for a clutch disengagement assembly. The spring maintains the engaged end position and is located on the sun wheel side of the plate carrier having the abutment and the axial pressure piston is located on the other side.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 1987Date of Patent: January 12, 1988Assignee: Daimler-Benz AktiengesellschaftInventors: Erwin Nussbaumer, Rainer Gross, Herbert Botzelmann, Hans Haller, Franz Buchwald
