  • Publication number: 20050095079
    Abstract: A fastening element in the form of an eye bolt, which has a ring body encompassing a ring opening. The ring body is connected with an end area of a fastening bolt, which has, at a distance from said end area, in its fastening position, balls with a part of their surface protruding from the surface shell of the fastening bolt. The balls are held in their fastening position by a bolt element guided within the fastening bolt. The bolt element is axially longitudinally moveable against the force of a spring and is intended to provide a solution which improves the characteristics of use and handling of such an actuation element. This is achieved by the fact that the ring body is extended in the manner of a shackle beyond its ring opening and the end area of the fastening bolt is fixed so as to pivot between the shackle ends.

  • Patent number: 6257134
    Abstract: A method for safeguarding against the entry of foreign bodies into a nip between two cylinders, which includes applying a deflection movement to one of the cylinders counter to a spring force applied thereto so as to overcome the spring force and, in accordance with a prescribed deflection distance, alternatively keeping the spring force to be overcome constant or reducing the spring force; and a device for performing the method.

  • Patent number: 5381734
    Abstract: A web-fed rotary printing press having a main drive includes, in combination, a plurality of consecutively arranged printing units and a printing unit for flying printing-form exchange having an auxiliary drive and a plurality of printing-unit cylinders, at least one of which has a shaft, the plurality of printing-unit cylinders including two printing-form cylinder-transfer cylinder pairs for the printing-form exchange, and a common, rotating impression cylinder driven via the main drive, one of the cylinder pairs being inactivatable and the other being bringable into engagement with the common, rotating impression cylinder so as to be driven by the main drive, two gearwheels positioned on the shaft of the one cylinder of the printing unit for the flying printing-form exchange, including a drive for the respective printing-form cylinder-transfer cylinder pair which is decouplable from the main drive, during an imprinting operation, and connectable via a coupling device with the auxiliary drive, includes an ar

  • Patent number: 4890056
    Abstract: Non-linearities in phase detector output signals are digitally corrected as a function not only of the measured phase difference signal itself but also of the input signal amplitude(s) to the phase detector so that a desired degree of precision can be efficiently and conveniently maintained over the entire dynamic measurement range. Pre-stored digitized compensated output signals (or correction coefficients) are selected from a digital memory as a function of both the distorted phase measurement signal itself and the amplitude(s) of the signals being compared.
