Patent number: 5630973Abstract: A sliding body for electric collectors and the like is press-formed from a powder mass or composition which includes at least graphite and a synthetic resin as a bonding agent. The powder mass is pressed in a mold with at least one press die after a thin layer of a resin-free parting compound is applied between the powder mass and the press die to prevent the resin from adhering to the press die when subjected to frictional heat of compression. Powdered copper is the preferred parting compound and also reduces the contact resistance between the press-formed powder mass and a lead embedded in and pressed with the powder mass in the mold.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 1995Date of Patent: May 20, 1997Assignee: Hoffman & Co.

Patent number: 5189903Abstract: A carbon sliding strip for a collector has a rupture control device, comprising a pressure line (9) incorporated directly in the carbon strip (1), a device (13) for producing increased pressure in the pressure line and a pressure detector (15), which detects the sudden drop in pressure which occurs if the channel begins to leak. Since at least part of pressure line wall is made directly from the carbon material, the pressure control device responds even to small cracks in the carbon and immediately shows wear and rupture.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 1990Date of Patent: March 2, 1993Assignee: Hoffmann & Co.

Patent number: 5152380Abstract: A collector shoe for a collector with a carbon brush and a support has, between the carbon brush and supporting element, a galvanically applied metallic layer, which, at least at one end, either extends itself over the carbon brush at an angle, its extension which forms an angle being at least partially molded onto the supporting element or embedded into the latter and designed as an electrical connection element, or is linked with an electrical element which extends beyond the carbon brush, forms an angle and is similarly molded onto the supporting element or embedded in the latter. An advantageous process for producing said collector shoe consists producing the carbon brush with excess length, covering it in the metallic layer and then cutting it to length, and consequently bending the projecting metallic layer into the angular shape and embedding it in the directly molded-on supporting element of synthetic material.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 1990Date of Patent: October 6, 1992Assignee: Hoffmann & Co.
