  • Patent number: 12640296
    Abstract: A permanent magnet includes a magnetic base body that has a direction of magnetization and at least two recesses formed orthogonally to the direction of magnetization. The at least two recesses are formed as cut-outs and run substantially parallel to each another. A first cut-out is formed out of a first side of the base body such that no material bridge remains between the first cut-out and the first side and a second cut-out is formed out of a second side of the base body such that no material bridge remains between the second cut-out and the second side. The first and second cut-outs extend only partially along a width of the base body resulting in a first material bridge from the first cut-out to the second side and a second material bridge from the second cut-out to the first side. The first cut-out is spaced from the second cut-out.

    Abstract: A cooling duct piston (1) for combustion engines. The cooling duct piston has a piston basic body (2) that is connected to a lining part (3), which is facing an assigned combustion chamber. Here, the lining part (3) completely forms the piston surface (4) of the cooling duct piston (1) that faces the combustion chamber. An encircling depression (5) is provided in the surface of the piston basic body (2) facing the combustion chamber. The lining part (3) provides a permanent connection at least with the surface of the piston basic body (2) facing the combustion chamber, and thus bridges the encircling depression (5), such that the encircling depression (5), with the lining part (3) that bridges it, forms a cooling duct (6).

  • Patent number: 4456449
    Abstract: An apparatus for the production of calcium silicate based stone blanks including at least one mold into which a crude mixture is poured, the mixture comprising granulated silicate-containing material, lime, water, a cement and foam. The mold has a cover, a bottom and side plate, with one of the plates being movable to open and close the mold. The crude mixture is heated in the mold essentially uniformly to a temperature between 45.degree. C. and 90.degree. C. until achieving the desired blank-strength by strength-forming reactions of the cement in the crude mixture. The heater used for this purpose is a high frequency voltage heater using two parts of the mold as condensor plates connectable with a high frequency voltage source. The formed stone blanks are thereafter removed from the mold and transferred to a transport station.

  • Patent number: 4376086
    Abstract: A process and apparatus is provided for the production of calcium silicate-containing stone blanks which are useful in constructing building walls. A crude mixture, of a granulated silicate-containing material, lime, water, a cement and a foaming agent, is subjected to no more than a minimum application of external pressure and is subsequently hardened in an autoclave. The cement produces the necessary strength for the blank, so that the latter becomes transportable while the final strength is achieved by reaction of the silicate-containing material during the autoclave treatment. In order to arrive at acceptable molding times and in order to achieve a simplified process with slight fragment bulk density and optimal head damping characteristics, the crude mixture is rendered pourable, is filled into molds in a quantity corresponding to the fragment volume of the stone blank, and the crude mixture in the mold is heated essentially uniformly to a temperature between 45.degree. C. and 90.degree. C.

  • Patent number: 4375380
    Abstract: The manufacturing of at least one photothermal converter element according to the invention consists essentially of implanting a multiplicity of substantially uniformly distributed parallely projecting transparent fibers onto a baseplate element provided with an absorbing coating of a normally solid material capable of being temporarily converted to a plastic state, thanks to the use of an array of guiding means arranged above the baseplate element. The implantation proper of the desired fiber structure is then performed by advancing a series of bundles of fibers through the array of guiding means, to the desired level above the baseplate element, and by clipping the advanced bundles to the desired length above the guiding means, so as to cause the falling with limited transverse spreading of the clipped fibers onto the coating of the baseplate element.

  • Patent number: 4339914
    Abstract: Device for cleaning an open-ended spinning turbine comprises a bell which can be fitted to a container holding the spinning rotor and which is mounted on an arm operated by a jack.The bell bears a piston of which the front tapered end probes the bottom of the throat for uniting the fibers in the rotor when the bell is joined to the container.The procedure consists in letting a certain quantity of fibers enter after breakage of the yarn so as to form a ring of fibers in the rotor and then to press this ring by means of the piston until the rotor stops, while the scraping or rubbing of the ring of fibers enables the impurities stuck in the area of the throat for uniting the fibers to be detached.

  • Patent number: 4315399
    Abstract: A cleaning procedure consisting in imparting some ultrasonic vibrations of which the frequency is a harmonic of the natural frequency to at least one mode of vibration of a groove (1b) for union of fibres in a rotor (1) of a spinning unit, and in applying to the rotor a transducer (3) fed with current of an ultrasonic frequency by a generator (4) in such a way as to impart to the wall of the groove an energy capable of detaching the impurities lodged there so that the latter can be discharged with the help of a suction head (5) connected to a fan (6).This procedure can be employed especially at the time when the yarn is pieced-up on a spinning machine of the open-end type.

  • Patent number: 4295330
    Abstract: A device comprising a casing which bears two distinct hinged (articulated) systems, of which one is activated by jacks and includes four arms of which two are hinged together at one of their ends while another is hinged on the casing and on the free end of the arm, and the arm is hinged on the casing and at the middle of the arm that bears a roller to disengage the cop from the drive shaft.The other system comprises two parallel arms hinged on an intermediate plate, two parallel arms hinged on the plate and on a support of the re-attachment head connected to a system of suction by means of a conduit and including two motors to drive in rotation a roller controlling the cop and to make its front part rotate by 180.degree. in respect of its rear part.In the re-attachment position the roller is employed to rotate a roller by friction located at the outlet of the turbine.
