  • Publication number: 20030008030
    Abstract: A mold mounting plate for an injection molding machine for processing material, in particular plastic material, includes a main body having a plate-shaped central portion. Received in the main body are plural sleeves which define openings for support of column-like holding and/or guiding elements of the injection molding machine, and are secured to the central portion such as to establish a flexible bending/torsion joint. In this way, a transmission of moments onto the column-like holding and/or guiding elements as a result of a deformation of the mold mounting plate is minimized.

  • Patent number: 6318238
    Abstract: A wobble drive in an axial piston machine, particularly the axial piston pump of a high-pressure cleaning device, having a wobble body (1) rotatable around an axis of rotation (D) and a wobble plate (2) driving with its front side at least one piston (10a) positioned parallel to the axis of rotation D, a roller bearing (3) positioned between the wobble body (1) and the wobble plate (2) exhibiting a bearing axis inclined to the axis of rotation (D). In order to insure even at elevated rotary speeds of the wobble body (1) and thus also of the rolling bodies (6) that the rolling bodies (6) are securely held in their races (4,5) in spite of the elevated centrifugal forces acting on them, it is proposed that the wobble plate (2) be provided with a rim (7) overlapping the wobble body (1), with the rolling bodies (6) being positioned between the rim (7) and the wobble body (1).

  • Patent number: 6190997
    Abstract: To avoid damage to carrier substrates in a device for mechanically aligning carrier substrates for electronic circuits, the carrier substrates having two main surfaces and a peripheral surface and being supplied to a horizontal fixture of the device, centering elements being forced to engage on the peripheral surface of the carrier substrates to align the carrier substrates in the horizontal fixture, it is proposed that at least two centering elements be mounted rotationally and displaceably in the axial direction on at least two first shafts that are oriented in parallel with one another and in parallel with the horizontal fixture. The centering elements engage on sections of the peripheral surface of the carrier substrate disposed opposite one another in a first direction, and at least two further centering elements engage with stop faces at sections of the peripheral surface of the carrier substrate disposed opposite one another in a second direction running perpendicularly to the first direction.

  • Patent number: 6102220
    Abstract: A crane jib includes a main boom arranged on a support base for rotation about a vertical pivot axis, and an auxiliary boom extending the main boom at one end and movable with respect to the main boom by means of a first adjustment element. In order to realize a high degree of energy-efficiency and a stable jib at great reach of the jib, a pair of counterweights is provided which are supported at the other one of the ends of the main boom at an angle relative to one another and respectively positioned on both sides of a plane which extends vertically through the longitudinal main boom axis. The counterweights so interconnected to one another as to be swingable in synchronism by a second adjustment. A control device connects the first and second adjustment elements for balancing the variation in reach of the auxiliary boom through a change in reach of the counterweights.

  • Patent number: 6058849
    Abstract: A traveling mechanism for a lifting device, especially for a lifting device having a laterally cantilevering boom, is movable on rails with at least two running wheels. A connection element for attaching a load to said traveling mechanism is supported in the rail by the running wheels which are arranged on both sides of the connection element. The connection element has, at the region projecting down out of the rail, at least one running roller which is freely rotatable about a horizontal axis and rolls on a horizontal outer running surface of the rail. To effectively divert horizontal forces and uniformly distribute the vertical forces to the running wheels, running wheel axles are rigidly connected with a running wheel carrier, and the running wheel carrier and connection element are swivelably connected by a universal type joint. In addition, at least one support roller is rotatably mounted at the connection element in the interior of the rail.

  • Patent number: 5720986
    Abstract: An extrusion head having a stationary part fixed on an extrusion installation having a plurality of extrusion cylinders supplying an extrudate formed from several components. The stationary part has extrudate flow channels each in communication with a respective extrusion cylinder and a common extrusion die. Two pivotable outer parts pivotally hinged on the stationary part are selectively swingable individually between open and closed positions by respective piston-cylinder units. The two outer parts define an extrusion orifice for the die in their closed position. A pair of locking piston-cylinders provided with hammerhead piston rods hold the respective outer parts clamped against the stationary during an extrusion. Actuator piston-cylinder units selectively swing the piston rods of the locking piston-cylinder units clear of the outer parts for opening them for cleaning extrudate channels or for an extrusion die change.
