Patent number: 8757510Abstract: The invention relates to a rail fastening on a tie having fastening screws and loop-shaped tension clamps in which the track width can be adjusted horizontally in a stepless manner using wedge elements, the rail being arranged on a ribbed plate, the ribs of which run at an angle to the rail and a wedge that can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the rail being arranged between rail foot and the ribs. The wedge is preferably guided on the support. This makes possible effective horizontal lateral displacement of the rail or modification of the track with the use of simple and inexpensive plastic parts.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2009Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Wirthwein AGInventors: Udo Wirthwein, Joachim Süss

Patent number: 7922102Abstract: The invention relates to a rail support point for a rail-guided vehicle for anchoring in a wooden tie, including a plate as a support for the rail, which plate is anchored on both sides of the rail by means of fastening bolts that pass through the plate, the plate having on its bottom side collars that surround the fastening bolts and that engage in correspondingly shaped depressions in the wooden tie, the plate being configured as a ribbed plate having raised ribs that are arranged lateral to the rail foot and that guide the latter and being made of plastic, and the collar being embodied as a slitted ring. Also disclosed is a rail fastening using the rail support.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2009Date of Patent: April 12, 2011Assignee: Wirthwein AGInventors: Udo Wirthwein, Joachim Süss

Patent number: 7648079Abstract: Provided is a grooved rail for rail vehicles having flanged wheels, the grooved rail including a rail head provided with a running rail, a flange groove, and a counterrail, in addition to a rail web, a rail base, and lateral rail chambers extending between the rail head and the rail base. The running rail includes an asymmetrically-arranged vehicle-guiding flange, extending towards the flange groove, the asymmetrically-arranged flange formed in such a way that the width part of the rail base, on the side of the running rail, is larger than the width part on the side of the counterrail by a factor of at least 1.2. When the depth of the flange groove is >20 mm, the flange has a flange inclination of >78° with respect to an essentially horizontal axis of the rail web.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2005Date of Patent: January 19, 2010Assignee: Thyssenkrupp GFT Gleistechnik GmbHInventor: Joachim Suess

Patent number: 7513238Abstract: A directly injecting internal combustion engine has at least one cylinder which has a combustion space and in which a piston executes an oscillating movement, and an injection nozzle for the injection of fuel into the combustion space. The piston has a piston recess which has in its central region an elevation extending in the direction of a cylinder head. A surface of the piston recess which adjoins the elevation in the direction of the recess edge is connected to the elevation via a radius so an injection jet impinging in this region and injected at the earliest possible time point is distributed both in the elevation direction and in the recess edge direction. The surface adjoining the elevation in that direction has an extent in that direction such that an injection jet injected at the latest possible time point impinges onto the surface and is distributed both in the elevation direction and in the recess edge direction.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2004Date of Patent: April 7, 2009Assignee: Daimler AGInventors: Ruediger Pfaff, Martin Schnabel, Joachim Suess

Publication number: 20070278322Abstract: The invention relates to a grooved rail for rail vehicles provided with flange wheels, said grooved rail comprising a rail head (5) provided with a running rail (2), a flange groove (3), and a counterrail (4), in addition to a rail web (6), a rail base (7), and lateral rail chambers (8,9) extending between the rail head and the rail base. The running rail comprises a vehicle-guiding flange (10) extending towards the flange groove, said flange being asymmetrically arranged in relation to the rail head, when the depth of the flange groove is more than >20 mm in relation to an essentially horizontally extending axis (11) of the rail web, in such a way that the width part (B1) of the rail base, on the side of the running rail, is larger, at least by the factor 1.2, than the width part (B2) on the side of the counterrail.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2005Publication date: December 6, 2007Inventor: Joachim Suess

Patent number: 6387472Abstract: A decoration foil for the decoration of three-dimensional substrate surfaces with heating comprises a carrier film which is a substantially amorphous, unstretched polyester, polyamide or polyamide-copolymer film on which is arranged a decorative layer which is formed by at least one lacquer layer printed thereon, with the formation of a decoration in accurate register relationship.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 1998Date of Patent: May 14, 2002Assignee: Leonhard Kurz GmbH & Co.Inventors: Robert Reck, Joachim Süss, Heinrich Wild

Patent number: 5985078Abstract: In a method of producing marking or the like on a surface by means of laser radiation, at least two layers of lacquer of different colors are successively applied to the surface and at least the outer layer which is towards the viewer of the surface is removed by laser radiation in a region-wise manner to expose the second layer therebeneath, thereby producing the marking on the surface. At least the outer layer is applied by a transfer operation from a carrier material, in order thereby to produce a uniform thickness for that layer and thus a highly uniform laser-engraving effect. Also described is the use of embossing foils and more especially hot embossing foils of a particular configuration in such a method.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 1992Date of Patent: November 16, 1999Inventors: Joachim Suess, Gerhard Zinner

Patent number: 5635282Abstract: An embossing foil has three-dimensional patterning which does not extend uniformly over the entire surface of the foil but only over regions thereof. The region-wise three-dimensional patterning can be produced by the surface of the backing film, which is three-dimensionally patterned throughout, being covered in a region-wise manner with a lacquer forming a smooth surface, or by a thermoplastically deformable layer being provided in the interior of a decorative lacquer layer on the embossing foil, the surface of the thermoplastically deformable layer being three-dimensionally patterned only in a region-wise manner.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 1992Date of Patent: June 3, 1997Assignee: Leonhard Kurz GmbH & Co.Inventors: Joachim Suess, Edwin Tafelmeier

Patent number: 5383687Abstract: A value document and an embossing foil for the production thereof comprise a security feature in the form of a combination of a magnetic layer and a security layer which has an optical-diffraction effect. The security layer structure that has the optical-diffraction effect is provided with a reflective metal layer. To prevent damage to the reflective metal layer by particles of the magnetic layer, the metal layer is made of suitably resistant metal and/or a barrier layer is provided between the metal layer and the magnetic layer.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 1993Date of Patent: January 24, 1995Assignee: Leonhard Kurz GmbH & Co.Inventors: Joachim Suess, Hubert Suessner
