Abstract: A column for a motor vehicle body shell structure and a method for producing the same is disclosed. The column includes a column body which has a first material in a first region and a second material in a second region, where the second region is a reinforcement region. The first region is produced by forging and the reinforcement region is formed by a reinforcement insert and/or a reinforcement core and is forged into, reforged in, forged to, or formed on the first region.

Abstract: A reinforcing element for a motor vehicle door is disclosed which is a light metal or a light metal alloy. The reinforcing element is produced from a light metal blank by massive forming, preferably by forging.

Abstract: A roof frame for a motor vehicle is disclosed. At least one partial element of the roof frame is massive-formed, preferably forged, from a light metal blank.

Abstract: A crossmember for the base region of a motor vehicle shell structure is disclosed. The crossmember is a light metal or a light metal alloy, preferably aluminum or an aluminum alloy, preferably magnesium or a magnesium alloy, at least in regions and is produced at least in regions by forging.

Abstract: A rotor arm for an electrical machine having a support pot, which includes a hub for the mounting of a drive shaft, for mounting at least one magnetic element is provided. The rotor arm includes a supporting disk arranged on a support pot at a distance axially from the hub. The supporting element has a passage aligned with the hub for mounting the drive shaft.

Abstract: A rotor arm for an electrical machine includes a support pot for mounting a magnetic element. The support pot has a hub bearing a drive shaft. An inner peripheral surface of the rotor arm has, in an axial direction from the hub, an end stop for a supporting element of the rotor arm for the further bearing of the drive shaft.

Abstract: A method is provided for distributing sludge-type matter from a supply line into several distributor conduits. The flow of matter from the supply line is directed through a manifold conduit rotatably coupled about an axis of rotation on one end to the supply line and coupled on the other end to a rotating plate, the rotating plate being rotatable about the axis of rotation relative to a distributor plate, the distributor plate including one end of each of the distributor conduits coupled thereto and, thus, adapted to be coupled in fluid communication with the manifold conduit. The rotating plate is rotated relative to the distributor plate to align the manifold conduit with a respective distributor conduit and, in turn, to direct the flow of matter therethrough.

Abstract: An apparatus for delivering sludge-type matter from a supply line has a manifold conduit rotatably coupled on one end to the supply line and adapted to receive matter flowing therefrom. A distributor plate includes a plurality of ports extending therethrough. A plurality of distributor conduits are each coupled on one end to a respective port on one side of the distributor plate to receive matter therefrom. A rotating plate is rotatably supported on the other side of the distributor plate and coupled to the other end of the manifold conduit. The rotating plate is adapted to rotate relative to the distributor plate to align the manifold conduit with a respective distributor conduit to direct the flow of matter therethrough. The rotating plate has a plurality of stop cams formed on the peripheral edge thereof, each corresponding in position to a respective distributor conduit.
