Abstract: An injection nozzle for the direct injection of a liquid fuel into a cylinder chamber of a piston engine includes multiple spray holes for generating injection jets. The multiple spray holes are distributed on a nozzle body of the injection nozzle in the peripheral direction. At least one pair of spray holes adjoining in the peripheral direction is provided, the longitudinal center axes of which enclose a pair angle in the peripheral direction that is smaller than an adjacent angle which is enclosed between the longitudinal center axis of the respective spray hole of the spray hole pair in the peripheral direction and a longitudinal center axis of a spray hole adjoining the spray hole pair in the peripheral direction.

Abstract: In a method for forming a fuel/air mixture in a direct-injection internal combustion engine with a fuel injection nozzle arranged in each cylinder, a closing member of the fuel injection nozzle is moved from a closed position to an operating position by means of a control device at different speeds until the operating stroke is reached, in order to obtain optimum combustion, and a uniform concentration of the fuel particles introduced with increased impulse into the combustion chamber is achieved providing for the formation of a swirl with a constant symmetry and uniform distribution of fuel in the swirl.

Abstract: A manually actuated self-collecting parking meter includes a single lockable coin insertion device for receiving a range of available coin diameters. A coin checking device is arranged to receive one coin at a time from the insertion device and is placed in operation by turning a rotary locking handle. A parking time period display mechanism is arranged to be set based on the coin inserted into the checking device when the handle is rotated. The rotary locking handle can be rotated in either direction up to a stop for loading a force accumulator which automatically drives an operating mechanism for effecting the operation of the coin checking device and the setting of the display mechanism. For proper phase control of the operating mechanism, a closing segment and an operating segment are provided which uncouple the operating mechanism when the rotary handle is completely rotated so that the automatic operation is carried out.

Abstract: A preselection counter having a switch-off counter which is adapted to actuate a desired function when a quantity of this function determined by a preset value has been reached includes presettable indicating means having number rollers adapted to have the preset value set therein and to retain this setting through repeated cycles of operation of the switch-off counter. The presettable indicating means enable continuous display of the preset value during operation of the counter with the preset value being transferred from the number rollers of the switch-off counter by a sensing wheel mechanism which is operatively interposed therebetween and which may be repeatedly reset to the preset value on the preset counter after each cycle of operation of the switch-off counter without requiring changes in the preset value in the presettable indicating means.

Abstract: In a setting device for presettable counters, a number of indicating rollers are arranged with symbols on their circumferential peripheral surfaces. Connected to each indicating roller is a ratchet wheel and an adjusting wheel. A switching device for each roller permits it to be moved in a step-by-step manner and otherwise to be locked in position. The switching device includes a switching pawl for engaging the ratchet wheel and moving the roller, a fixing lever for locking the adjusting wheel and roller in position, a control pawl and a key for displacing the control pawl. The control pawl is spring-biased against the actuating movement of the key. The control pawl displaces the switching pawl and the fixing lever in response to its displacement by the key.

Abstract: A boring device adapted for deep boring wherein the boring head has a plurality of cutting inserts adjustably mounted on the boring head. Axially extending guide plates are mounted on the periphery of the boring head and are substantially equidistantly disposed between adjacent cutting inserts.

Abstract: A boring device adapted for deep well drilling wherein a cutting plate is fixed in operative position in a recess of a boring head by means of a clamping bolt. The cutting plate is reversible and its position in the boring head is adapted to be adjusted in a substantially radial direction. The cutting plate has a serrated surface and the bottom of the recess has a matingly serrated surface which when contacting each other enhance the clamping action of the clamping bolt.
