  • Patent number: 7343767
    Abstract: A roller tool is used within a sheet deformation facility for the linear deformation of sheet metal. The roller tool comprises a press roller having a shaft and a roller body rolling around the same as well as a counterbody. The press roller and the counterbody can be jointly moved in a linear manner relative to a sheet positioned between them that is to be processed for performing the sheet metal deformation. The roller body has a plurality of roller discs which are adjacent to each other, which together form the section of the roller body that can be placed onto the sheet to be processed and which can rotate around the shaft independently of each other. The sheet deformation facility is furthermore provided with a roller tool support and a drive for pivoting the roller tool support around an axis perpendicular to the sheet that is to be processed.

  • Patent number: 7213688
    Abstract: A disc brake for a motor vehicle having at least two axially stationary friction rings being connected to a rotatable hub. The disc brake comprises several brake pads cooperating with the associated friction rings during a braking operation. A favorable structural overall design of the disc brake is achieved by a brake caliper straddling all friction rings and the associated brake pads and including a first actuating device in a brake caliper portion that extends axially beside the friction rings, and a second actuating device that is arranged between two friction rings and acting axially on both sides. Said actuating device acts on the brake pads arranged between two friction rings and is arranged so as to be displaceable relative to the brake caliper.

  • Patent number: 7080886
    Abstract: A headrest (1) for a seat (3), preferably a passenger seat, particularly an air passenger seat, includes at least one tilt adjusting device (27) and one height adjustment device (12) for adjusting the tilt or the height of the headrest (1) relative to the backrest (2) of the seat (3) on which the headrest (1) can be placed. A swiveling axis (28) for tilt adjustment of the headrest (1) is on guiding part (14), while pointing away from the headrest. The guiding part displaceably interacts with a longitudinal guide (13) and, together with this longitudinal guide, is part of the height adjusting device (12). The backrest structure can have a highly simplified design due to the longitudinal guide (13) being an integral part of the headrest (1) and the swiveling axis (28) of the guiding part (14) being fixed relative to the backrest (2), and since the frame of the backrest does not require any reinforcing structures or guide rails for accommodating a headrest.

  • Patent number: 6960027
    Abstract: A ferrule (4) for an optical waveguide (1), according to the invention, is characterised in that the ferrule (4) is made of plastics material, and in that the ferrule (4) is for example more transparent than the casing (2, 3) of the optical waveguide (1). The process according to the invention, for fixing a ferrule (4) to an optical waveguide (1), includes the following steps: stripping certain regions of an outer casing (2) of one end of the optical waveguide (1) and exposing an inner casing (3) of the optical waveguide (1); pushing the ferrule (4) onto the stripped region of the optical waveguide (1); and welding the ferrule (4), at least in certain regions, onto the surface of contact with the inner casing (3) of the optical waveguide (1). Because of the transparency of this ferrule (4), the laser light can almost completely penetrate the ferrule (4) in the so-called transmission technique and take effect in the outermost region of the casing (2, 3) of the optical waveguide (1).
