Patent number: 6884374Abstract: A plastic hollow preform is drawn through a mold passage formed in a closed mold by applying a generally constant suction to a downstream end of a conduit having an upstream end connected to an output end of the mold passage. A flow cross section of the conduit is varied between its upstream and downstream ends so as to vary a rate at which the preform is drawn through the passage by the suction. The flow cross section is varied by displacing a valve element in the conduit between positions in which it differently blocks flow through the conduit.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2000Date of Patent: April 26, 2005Assignee: Fischer-W.

Patent number: 6349581Abstract: Rolling stock is transported in a transporting device from a front roll stand to a rear roll stand. Between the roll stands, the rolling stock carries out an oscillation transverse to the transporting direction. At least one characteristic property, amplitude or frequency, of the oscillation is determined quantitatively and, from this determination, a tension or compression, existing in the rolling stock between the roll stands is determined. One of the roll stands is readjusted in such a manner, that a desired tension is built up in the rolling stock between the roll stands.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2000Date of Patent: February 26, 2002Assignee: SMS Schloemann-Siemag AGInventors: Otmar Palzer, Hubert Müller, Ulrich Svejkovsky
