Patent number: 4846338Abstract: A curved conveyor element is provided which comprises outer and inner spaced curved frame members having first and second ends. A pivotal head is rotatably mounted to the frame at one end, a row of rollers being provided in the pivotal head and a second row being secured to the other end of the frame. An endless conveyor belt passes around both rows of rollers, and is driven by a drive attached to the belt by elastic dog members. Removable supporting elements are positioned between the outer and inner frame members substantially coplanar with the conveyor belt. The pivotal head is rotatable to a position above the upper reach of the belt to permit the belt to be installed and removed through a slot defined by the removable supporting elements.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 1983Date of Patent: July 11, 1989Assignee: Transver AGInventor: Hans Widmer

Patent number: 4292905Abstract: The device discussed herein which is preferably a separate auxiliary unit, is equipped with a keyboard for entry of sewing conditions such as material type and sewing operation. Data is entered in an electronic memory which contains instructions for sewing machine adjustment and set-up. These instructions are clearly indicated at certain points on the device or preferably on the sewing machine for the most part so that sewing machine adjustment and set-up can be performed without special previous knowledge. In this connection, it is possible to supply clear instructions for a great number of data combinations directly at the points of the sewing machine where adjustment and set-up occur.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 1980Date of Patent: October 6, 1981Assignee: Fritz Gegauf AG, Bernina-Naehmaschinenfabrik SteckbornInventor: Hans Widmer

Patent number: 4209679Abstract: An electrical switch in which during a switchoff operation the switchoff current is commuted from a continuous current path through the switch to an extinction current path which includes a pair of separable contact members one of which is located in a region of the switch housing within which a relatively low gas pressure exists, the other contact member being located within a pressure chamber in which a higher gas pressure is generated during the switchoff operation by heating the gas electrically with an auxiliary rotating arc drawn between a pair of arcing members located within the pressure chamber and which disengage during the switchoff movement. The heated and pressurized gas within the pressure chamber is discharged through a small opening in a nozzle which is opened as the contact members separate thus blasting and extinguishing the arc formed therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 1977Date of Patent: June 24, 1980Assignee: BBC Brown Boveri & Company LimitedInventors: Georg Koppl, Giovanni Pedrini, Hans Widmer
