  • Publication number: 20060118194
    Abstract: A cylinder barrel for a fluid power cylinder comprising an inner tube (12) of thermoplastic synthetic resin and an outer tube (14) of fiber reinforced synthetic thermoplastic resin radially surrounding the inner tube (12) and being coaxially arranged, an intermediate layer (16) being placed between the inner tube (12) and the outer tube (14) to provide a firm join between the two tubes (12 and 14). There is a provision such that between the inner tube (12) and the outer tube (14) an intermediate layer (16) is arranged to ensure a firm join between the two tubes (12 and 14). The invention also relates to a method for the production of a cylinder barrel for a fluid power cylinder, in which in sequence an inner tube (12) of thermoplastic synthetic resin and a coaxially arranged outer tube (14) radially surrounding the inner tube and manufactured of fiber reinforced thermoplastic synthetic resin is extruded.

  • Publication number: 20050263276
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger of a plate-type construction having first flow channels for a first medium, each formed by a pair of plates, and having corrugated ribs, around which a second medium flows, arranged between neighboring plate pairs. In order to provide an improved heat exchanger which allows a more compact construction of the plant when used in a heating or air conditioning unit of a motor vehicle, it is proposed that the corrugated ribs and at least one of the neighboring plate pairs form second flow channels for the second medium and the second flow channels have a curved course, so that the second medium undergoes a change of flow direction on flowing through the heat exchanger.

  • Patent number: 6651453
    Abstract: Disclosed is an air-conditioning device for a motor vehicle having a blower for feeding air through an air-conditioning housing, in which a cooling heat exchanger, a heating heat exchanger, and airflow control elements are arranged. The air-conditioning device and the heat exchangers have their greatest dimension in the transverse direction (y direction) of the vehicle. In order to provide a space-saving and cost-effective system, the blower is arranged laterally on the air-conditioning housing, and an air filter having approximately the same transverse dimension as the cooling heat exchanger is arranged in the air stream between the blower and cooling heat exchanger.

  • Patent number: 6561879
    Abstract: The invention relates to a conditioning device (1) for grinding wheels (2) for machining the edge areas of plate-shaped objects, such as, for example, glass panes or the like, for which the grinding wheels (2), in a conditioned state, have at least one circumferential groove (3) each, which, at least in a partial section, tapers off towards the grinding wheel center. To provide such a conditioning device with which the conditioning of such grinding wheels is possible in an easy way and at any time and any place, the conditioning device has to have a cross section adapted to the cross section of the groove to be achieved, wherein the width of the conditioning device basically corresponds to the width of the groove(s) and the length orientation from one lateral end to the other lateral end of the conditioning device is configured in accordance with the depth orientation from one side edge to the other side edge of the groove(s) with growing length at increasing depth to be achieved.

  • Patent number: 6427760
    Abstract: Disclosed is an air-conditioning system for a motor vehicle with which individual zones of the interior can be individually air-conditioned. The air-conditioning system is divided by means of at least one dividing wall into sub-regions, with the dividing wall having a dividing wall opening which can be closed off. The heating or air-conditioning system improves the safety, for example, by reducing the amount of condensation on windows, while conserving installation space. In a first region (B1 or B2 or B3 or B4), the partial air stream flowing therethrough can flow through a sub-region (22HL or 22VL or 22VR or 22HR) of heater (22), and the partial air stream, which has already been heated in the first region (B1 or B2 or B3 or B4) can after passing through the dividing wall opening (82R, 82L), also flow through a sub-region (22FL or 22RL or 22RR or 22FR), located in the second region (B2 or B1 or B4 or B3) of the heater (22).

  • Patent number: 6425437
    Abstract: Disclosed is a motor vehicle air-conditioning system in which individual air-conditioning zones can be air-conditioned independently. The air-conditioning system is divided into four partial regions by partitions. In order to provide as small a construction space as possible as well as simple regulation, the coolant stream through the heater (22) is regulatable, in order to bring the entire heater (22) to a specific temperature. Thus, air flowing through the heater (22) can be controlled to a maximum temperature dependent on the temperature of the heater (22), corresponding to the (warmest) air temperature desired in one of the interior zones (HL, VL, VR, HR). In the other region(s) (B1, B2, B3, B4) of the air-conditioning system (10), the temperature of the air to be introduced into the other interior zone(s) (HL, VL, VR, HR) can be lowered by means of cold air guided via a bypass (32R, 62R).

  • Patent number: 6287176
    Abstract: A grinding disk (20) has a a peripheral groove for grinding the edges of glass panes (11), whereby a cooling liquid is fed to the point of grinding (18). When the disk (20) is in a mounted position, a lateral stop surface (8) fits closely against the opposite surface (7) of the grinding spindle, whereby the axial position thereof in relation to the lane of the glass pane can be adjusted. In order to increase the service life of said tool, irrespective of the composition of the abrasive product, the grinding disk (20) has a stop surface (8(I), 8(II)) on two opposite-lying flat sides (I, II) in addition to two peripheral grooves (13,14), whereby each peripheral groove is assigned to one of the two stop surfaces (8(I), 8(II)). The two peripheral grooves (13,14) are located at the same distance (X,X) from the respective stop surfaces (8(I), 8(II)).

  • Patent number: 6189801
    Abstract: A particular device is provided for heating and/or air conditioning a vehicle interior. Housings for air conditioners of motor vehicles, typically, are relatively cumbersome to manufacture because of the need to install control flaps in front of and behind the heater. Sealing of the heater in its installation housing is also difficult. It is proposed, therefore, to make the housing for receiving the heater in two parts and to provide a plug-in part for the heater as well as a frame that can be snapped onto the plug-in part as a closure. Both the plug-in part and the frame are provided with an integral control flap arrangement.

  • Patent number: 4860399
    Abstract: Applying non-treating liquid to a traveling textile fabric substrate during temporary change-over discontinuance of treating liquor application in a textile treating and drying range with the non-treating liquid being applied in an amount sufficient to approximate the amount of treating liquor applied during normal operation of the range so as to allow the dryer to continue operating at substantially normal operating temperatures without damage to the fabric substrate. A non-treating liquid applicator is shifted between an inoperative position out of the path of the textile fabric substrate into an operative position in engagement with the substrate. The applicator includes a roller for arcuate engagement with the substrate and to which liquid is applied by spray and is uniformly distributed by a squeeze roll acting on a cover on the roller of material capable of retaining and transferring liquid onto the substrate.
