Patent number: 6966432Abstract: The drive mechanism (10) has a drive member (12) and a flexible conveying member (14). The engaging elements (12b) of the drive member (12) have an engaging element spacing (t1), while the associated counter elements (14b) of the conveyor member 14 have a counter element spacing (t2). According to the invention the engaging element spacing (t1) of the engaging elements (12b) is larger than the counter element spacing (t2) of the counter elements (14b) of the conveying member in order to compensate for conveyor member stretching in operation. In a preferred embodiment the conveying member is a flexible conveyor chain and the drive member (12) is a toothed drive wheel. In another preferred embodiment the ratio of the engaging element spacing (t1) of the drive member (12) to the counter element spacing (t2) of the conveying member (14) is between about 1.01 and about 1.10.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2003Date of Patent: November 22, 2005Assignee: Bosch Rexroth AGInventors: Johannes Koban, Michael Neuber, Frank Rahnfeld

Patent number: 6485178Abstract: A linear unit (10, 10a, 10b) with a sliding guide (10) for a carriage (16, 16a, 16b) on a guide profile (12, 12a) is proposed. Slide elements (14, 14b, 14c, 14d) are fixable to the carriage (16, 16a, 16b). By means of a recess (50) in the carriage (16, 16a, 16b), an adjusting element (52) can be guided that engages a recess (48, 74) which is embodied in the slide elements (14, 14b, 14c, 14d). As a result, the slide elements (14, 14b, 14c, 14d) can move transversely to the guide direction of the guide profile (12, 12a), and as a result the play of the sliding guide (27, 27a, 27b) can be adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2000Date of Patent: November 26, 2002Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Johannes Koban

Patent number: 6401396Abstract: A device (10; 10a) for guiding and limiting the travel of a sliding door element (1) has a receiving and stop element (12; 12a; 12b; 12c) which cooperates by positive engagement with a centering element (11; 11a). It is proposed that the centering element (11; 11a) be embodied with a wedge-shaped portion (18; 29) and that the receiving and stop element (12; 12a; 12b; 12c) be embodied with a V-shaped portion (19; 40). The device (10; 10a) is especially simply embodied and requires only little effort for assembly.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2001Date of Patent: June 11, 2002Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Johannes Koban, Armin Breitenbuecher, Heinz Haug, Hellmut Walter

Patent number: 6367762Abstract: A base (80a) for fastening profiled rods (35, 40, 70) is proposed. The base (80a) is comprised of a sole plate (85a) and two walls (90a, 95a) formed onto the sole plate (85a), which are disposed at an angle to each other and at least partially define at least one flat section (130, 185, 210) on the sole plate (85a). The walls (90a, 95a) can be fastened to at least one profiled rod (35, 40, 70). At least one wall (90a, 95a) has a first wall section (100, 110) and a second wall section (175, 180), wherein the respective wall sections (100, 110, 175, 180) define different sized flat sections (130, 185, 210), which are adapted to different sized profiled rods (35, 40, 70). In this manner, one base (80a) can be used for different sized profiled rods (35, 40, 70).Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 1999Date of Patent: April 9, 2002Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Johannes Koban

Patent number: 6283456Abstract: A section rod is a component of a protective fence and serves for fastening a protective screen. A U-shaped receptacle, where the protective screen can be secured, is provided in the section rod. For this purpose, the receptacle has an internal width that is at least in part somewhat less than a thickness of the protective screen. An increased securing action can be achieved through additional sawtooth-shaped elevations. The section rod allows the protective screen to be mounted in a simple and reliable manner without additional fastening or securing parts.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 1998Date of Patent: September 4, 2001Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Albrecht Benz, Joerg Walther, Johannes Koban, Olaf Klemd, Armin Breitenbücher

Patent number: 6192645Abstract: An angle bracket for joining two section bars has a relatively great stability, especially for use for partitions and safety walls. This stability is achieved by supporting walls that join the two legs of an angle bracket to one another and have an outwardly rounded outside contour. This design is relatively simple and inexpensive to implement and allows these angle brackets to be compatible with known designs.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 1998Date of Patent: February 27, 2001Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Albrecht Benz, Joerg Walther, Johannes Koban, Olaf Klemd, Armin Breitenbücher

Patent number: 6161983Abstract: A device (10) for fastening structural elements (20), in particular pneumatic elements, by fastening elements (22) is proposed. The device (10) consists of several, parallel arranged fastening plates (42, 44, 46), which are arranged by means of screws (18) between two profiled rods (14, 16). Sliding blocks (76, 86) are arranged between the individual fastening plates (42, 44, 46) of the device (10) in grooves (74) of the longitudinal sides (66, 68, 70, 72) of the fastening plates (42, 44, 46). The sliding blocks (76, 78) can be arbitrarily positioned in arbitrary numbers, are easy to mount, hide possible gaps and increase the rigidity of the device (10).Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 1998Date of Patent: December 19, 2000Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Johannes Berger, Johannes Koban, Olaf Klemd

Patent number: 5474384Abstract: A supporting bearing (17) for linearly guided travelling units, having a housing and having a roller (20) which contains a rolling-contact bearing (26) and is seated on an eccentric bolt (28) which is mounted rotatably in the housing and can be fixed by clamping bolts (27). The housing (18a, 18b) is composed of two housing halves (18a, 18b) which are preferably of the same construction. The axial position of the roller (20) is determined by inner wall regions (46) of the housing halves (18a, 18b), which are laid or pressed against the end sides of the inner raceway (27) of the roller (20) after radial adjustment of the roller (20), by clamping the housing halves (18a, 18b) together. This results in the axial position of the roller (20) being fixed directly by way of its inner raceway (27).Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 1995Date of Patent: December 12, 1995Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Peter Ludwig, Johannes Koban
