  • Patent number: 6639504
    Abstract: The invention relates to a thermally controlled electric switching device 1, especially a temperature fuse or a temperature limiter, with a switching contact device 2 comprising a fixed contact 3 and a motion contact 4, as well as a meltable element 8 containing a meltable material 7, wherein the meltable material 7 supports a transmission element 9 before being activated when a trigger temperature is exceeded and, when the trigger temperature is exceeded, is forced out of its receptacle 6 by the end of the transmission element 9 impinging upon it, wherein a radially protruding, flat melt material screen 19 is arranged on the transmission element 9.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5971695
    Abstract: A turning device for turning paper material has a reception tray used for receiving therein the material to be turned and arranged such that it is adapted to be rotated about an axis of rotation. The material is arranged in said reception tray in such a way that its axis of inertia during turning substantially coincides with the axis of rotation of said reception tray. A feeder is provided for feeding the material into the reception tray in the direction of the axis of rotation. A removing device withdraws the material from the reception tray in the direction of the axis of rotation. When seen in a direction of transport of the material, the feeder is arranged at an adjustable distance ahead of the reception tray. The removing device is arranged at a fixed distance behind the reception tray, when seen in the direction of transport of the material.

  • Patent number: 4703301
    Abstract: A thermically controlled electrical switching element which is in the form of a temperature regulator or a temperature limiter. On a socket are arranged, in parallel orientation, a bimetallic spring plate, and a steel plate deflectable to both sides. The bimetallic spring plate is attached at its periphery in such a way that centrally, above a transition temperature, it can deflect in a first direction, and below a reverse transition temperature, it can deflect in a second, opposite direction. The steel plate attached at the rim together with the bimetallic spring plate, upon deflection of the spring plate, is also displaced in the first direction, and thereby, by means of a control element bearing upon its center, opens a switch contact interrupting the current flow to an electrical heating element.

  • Patent number: 4059817
    Abstract: A temperature sensitive switch having a switch housing containing switch contacts and electrical leads, an arched bimetal disc, whose dome height changes under temperature influence, a guiding disc with a centrally located and freely moveable transfer pin, which transfers movements of the bimetal disc to the switch contacts, a potlike support, and a heat transfer plate placed between guiding disc and potlike support, and characterized by an opening at the bottom of the potlike container, to allow direct heat access to the heat transfer plate.
