Method and arrangement of equipment for the protection of buildings and people from acts of violence
Patent number: 5692446Abstract: The invention relates to a method, and the equipment necessary for implementation thereof, for the unnoticeable detection of armed persons in the region giving access to objects that require protection and for the detention of such persons by surprise. Detention by surprise prevents individuals prepared to do violence from being able to run amok or take hostages in order to secure their own release.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 1995Date of Patent: December 2, 1997Assignee: Industrieanlagen-Betriebsgesellschaft mbHInventors: Lothar Becker, Jurgen Zorn -
Patent number: 4056337Abstract: An external gear type hydraulic pump or motor wherein the trunnions of gears in the chamber of the housing are surrounded by annular bearing members. The peripheral surface of each bearing member defines with the adjacent internal surface of the housing an arcuate gap whose width increases in a direction toward the respective end face of the corresponding gear. To this end, portions of or the entire peripheral surfaces of bearing members and/or portions of or the entire internal surfaces of the housing have a conical or spherical shape. The gaps are located in the low-pressure zone and reduce the likelihood of wear upon those end faces of bearing members which are adjacent to the end faces of the gears because the bearing members can tilt in response to increasing load without localized rubbing against the gears. Additional gaps can be provided between the end faces of the gears and the adjacent end faces of the bearing members to further reduce the likelihood of uneven wear upon the bearing members.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 1975Date of Patent: November 1, 1977Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Jurgen Zorn, Jan Vlemmings, Karl-Heinz Muller, Siegfried Mayer, Wilhelm Dworak, Eugen Hartmann, Martin Fader, Wolfgang Talmon, Claus Jons, Ivan Sauer, Paul Bosch

Patent number: 4029446Abstract: A gear-type fluid displacing machine includes a housing having a chamber and two side sections overlying opposite ends of the chamber, a pair of mating gears in the chamber for generating a high pressure area therein as the gears rotate, and annular bearing members surrounding trunnions associated with the gears at opposite ends of the chamber each of the bearing members having an end which faces one of the side sections of the housing and being formed with a groove. The sealing arrangement includes a generally U-shaped resilient sealing element in each of the grooves and having an open side in communication with the high pressure area. The sealing element has at least one wedge-shaped leg which is pressed into sealing contact with an associated side section by its own resilience and by the force exerted by the pressure fluid entering the open side of the element from the high pressure area.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 1975Date of Patent: June 14, 1977Assignee: Robert Bosch G.m.b.H.Inventors: Siegfried Mayer, Ivan Sauer, Jurgen Zorn

Patent number: 3986800Abstract: An external gear pump wherein the gears are installed in an eight-shaped compartment of a central housing section which is flanked by two covers. The outlet port of the housing communicates with two arcuate recesses for metallic inserts which are biased against the adjacent gears by fluid pressure in the outlet port whereby the inserts urge the gears against those portions of the internal surface of the central housing section which are located opposite the recesses. Such portions of the internal surface are formed with narrow first cutouts which communicate with the outlet port. The internal surface is further formed with relatively wide additional cutouts which are located between the first cutouts and the recesses and communicate with the inlet port. The force which is produced by fluid in the cutouts opposes the force which urges the gears against the internal surface of the central housing section to thus reduce the force with which the stubs of the gear shafts are urged against the housing.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 1975Date of Patent: October 19, 1976Assignee: Robert Bosch G.m.b.H.Inventors: Wilhelm Dworak, Jurgen Zorn, Eugen Hartmann, Martin Fader, Karl-Heinz Muller, Claus Jons, Ivan Sauer, Siegfried Mayer, Jan Vlemmings
