Patent number: 8821026Abstract: A double roller cage for a double-row cylinder roller bearing, with a central ring part (1) from which webs (2, 3) protrude axially on both sides, wherein the webs (2; 3) of one side in each case form a row of bearings (4; 5) together with the rolling bodies arranged therein, wherein every two adjacent webs (2; 3) of a row of bearings (4; 5) delimit a receiving pocket (6; 7) for a rolling body, and in which, at least in one row of bearings (5), the webs (3) are designed so as to taper in the circumferential direction for a radial filling of the receiving pockets (7) with the rolling bearings. So that the double roller cage has satisfactory running behavior and is relatively simple and cost-effective to produce, recesses (12, 12?, 13, 14, 16) are formed on the other of the two rows of bearings (4; 5) in order to produce a symmetrical mass distribution between the two rows of bearings (4; 5).Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2011Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 8757534Abstract: A reel changer of a printing press has a securing assembly for a safety area. The safety area extends on a receiving end or on a dispensing side of the reel changer at least over the entire width to the end-face side frames. These side frames comprise vertically supported frame parts and optionally also include switch boxes end or side boxes that are arranged directly on the side frames. The safety area is substantially completely enclosed by the reel changer and by one or more connected units and or mechanical blocking devices and by one or more sensor-monitored access assemblies in such a way that operators can enter during operation only by the use of the one or more monitored access assemblies. A control element for controlling functions of the reel changer is physically separate from the reel changer and is arranged at a distance from the side frames at a location that can be reached by an operator positioned outside the safety area.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2010Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Koenig & Bauer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Erwin Paul Josef Lehrieder, Klaus Karl Muller, Josef Herbert Olbort

Patent number: 8339260Abstract: A hazardous area in the region surrounding a reel transport of a reel changer is secured. A contactless protective device is located at the access boundaries of the region. This protective device can be deactivated for feeding and/or removing a known object and comprises an evaluation unit. The protective device is configured as a light curtain that is comprised of a plurality of light beams that run in parallel to each other. The evaluation unit includes an assembly for detecting the sequence of the interruption of the light beams during the feeding and/or the removal of an object. Based on the detected sequence of interruption of the light beams, a known object, that is permitted to access the hazardous area, is detected. The protective device is deactivated in this situation. Securing the hazardous area further includes the provision of a second contactless protective device that is permanently active.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2009Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: Koenig & Bauer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Katja Paula Krieger, Manfred Wilhelm Maierhöfer, Klaus Karl Müller, Josef Herbert Olbort, Karlheinz Rahner, Senad Ugljesa

Publication number: 20100086759Abstract: The invention proposes a fitness and therapy mat for standing and walking made of foamed material for sport, gymnastic, and therapeutic purposes. The foamed material used has an open cell structure. Thus the elasticity of the foamed material structure alone determines the spring action of the mat when the mat is under stress. The spring action of the fitness and therapy mat approaches the ideal spring, and the resilience shows minimal damping.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2009Publication date: April 8, 2010Applicant: KYBUN AGInventor: Karl Muller

Publication number: 20090265961Abstract: The present invention relates to functional footwear of a new concept, which adapts itself to the shape of a foot and gives a soft feeling when walking. The footwear includes: an upper foot fixing section (1) for covering and fixing an upper portion of a foot; and a foot supporting section attached to the upper foot fixing section for supporting a lower portion of the foot. The foot supporting section includes a resilient mat (2) having a soft elastic body, which can be deformed according to the shape of the foot. The footwear has a simple structure and can give a feeling of walking barefoot on a sponge mat or on a lawn like a soft carpet to provide complete comfort to the wearer during walking.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2006Publication date: October 29, 2009Inventors: Karl Muller, Matthias Müller
