Abstract: A machine for cutting plate-shaped workpieces, incorporates a tool guide (7), an operating handle (13), and a cutting tool (6) which revolves along the tool guide (7). By moving the operating handle (13), the tool guide (7) with its cutting tool (6) can be shifted from an idle position into an active position. In its idle position the cutting tool (6) is disengaged from, and, in its active position it is engaged in, the workpiece to be processed. Provided between the operating handle (13) and the tool guide (7) is a variable ratio transmission mechanism (14, 18) with a transmission ratio which varies with the movement of the operating handle (13) as a function of the position of the tool guide (7) and its cutting tool (6) relative to the workpiece.

Abstract: This invention concerns a boiler fitted with a burner suitable for wall heaters or built-in kitchen heaters in which a mantle-shaped heat exchanger made of pipe elements connected in parallel and/or series divides the boiler chamber into a combustion chamber and an exhaust chamber. The heat exchanger has openings for hot flue gases distributed over its mantle. The burner head disposed in the combustion chamber is suitable for burning oil and has a flame tube with an axial flame opening and a flame baffle element disposed at a distance from the flame opening which is constructed so that the flame is diverted into the space between the flame tube and the heat exchanger. In addition, a fire chamber mantle can be disposed between the heat exchanger and the flame tube to protect the heat exchanger from direct contact with the flame.

Abstract: On a machine for bending a sheet-metal edge (4) provided with a first sheet metal part (2) over a second sheet metal part (3) to be connected to the first (2), with at least one pair (12, 15) of form rollers, preferably driven, whose form rollers (13, 14; 16, 17) roll over it in the feed direction (19) on opposite sides of the sheet-metal edge (4) along its longitudinal edge and whose roll gap (20, 22) in the bending direction is inclined toward the second sheet metal part (3), wherein one of the form rollers (14, 17) grasps the sheet-metal edge (4) underneath on the side facing the second sheet metal edge (3), and with a support going across the feed direction (19) with at least one abutment supported on one of the sheet metal parts (2,3) by the fact that the abutment(s) is (are) arranged lagging behind the pair (12) of form rollers in the feed direction (19) and is (are) supported on the side of the sheet-metal edge (4) facing the second sheet metal part (3).

Abstract: A hand held nibbling machine has a manipulatable housing with a drive head in which there is a downwardly opening passage. A tool assembly has an upper portion extending into the passage of the drive head, a lower portion for supporting a die, and a neck portion therebetween providing a throat portion between the upper and lower portions and into which a workpiece may extend. The upper portion of the tool assembly is releasably engaged in the passage of the drive head by interengaging surfaces about a portion of the outer surface of the upper portion of the tool assembly and about a portion of the wall of the drive head defining the passage, and these surfaces are disengageable by rotation of the tool assembly within the passage to move the interengaging surfaces out of alignment. A releasable fastener in the drive head is engageable with the upper portion of the tool assembly to secure the tool assembly in a rotated position in which the surfaces are interengaged.

Abstract: A hand-held nibbling machine has a manipulatable housing containing a motor and a transmission assembly for converting rotary motion to reciprocating linear motion. A tool assembly includes a housing portion, a ram reciprocatable in a passage in the housing portion, a base portion with a die support for supporting a die in spaced relationship to the adjacent end of the housing portion, and a neck portion between the housing and base portions providing a throat into which a workpiece may extend. Disengageable ram attachment elements are provided for securing the ram to the output coupling, and disengageable housing attachment elements are provided to secure the housing portion of the tool assembly to the manipulatable housing.
