  • Patent number: 8037995
    Abstract: A conveyor includes at least one workpiece carrier, a drive provided for the workpiece carrier and defining a plane of conveyance; an inner guide and an outer guide having a curved outer guide section and defining a conveyor track for the workpiece carrier; the inner guide includes a curved inner guide section that is assigned to the curved outer guide section. The convexly curved inner guide section is situated such that it is offset radially inwardly relative to the curved outer guide section and opposite an imagined tangential extension of a first and a second straight inner guide section.

  • Patent number: 7882945
    Abstract: A rolling conveyor has a plurality of feed rollers that define a conveyor surface, in which the feed rollers are joined on their end regions rotatably to a first and a second bearing assembly, at least some of the feed rollers on the second bearing assembly each have a first drive wheel, which is in rotary drive communication each with one second drive wheel, the second drive wheels are located on a rotatable drive shaft, with which they are in rotary drive communication, wherein the drive shaft is joined rotatably to a third bearing assembly, which is embodied separately from the first and second bearing assemblies, so that a drive shaft assembly comprising the drive shaft and the associated third bearing assemblies is joined as a unit detachably to the rolling conveyor.

  • Patent number: 7264106
    Abstract: The positioning device for positioning a movable conveyed goods carrier on a conveyor track in a clamped position includes a stop device (12); a movement device for a positioning movement and a drive (20) for driving the movement device. The movement device has a positioning element (36), which is engagable with a positioning counter element (46), so that the conveyed goods carrier (30) is clamped between the movement device and the stop device (12). The movement device also has a clamping arrangement including the positioning element (36) and two clamping parts (40), which is movable by the drive (20) from an out-of-engagement configuration into a clamping configuration, in which it exerts a holding force on the conveyed goods carrier (30) in cooperation with the stop device (12). A conveyor system including a conveyor chain or belt, the conveyor track and the positioning device are also described.

  • Patent number: 5186096
    Abstract: The coffee brewing machine can be used to prepare alternatively normal coffee or espresso coffee and comprises a boiler having a temperature control. The cold water is fed to the boiler by a water pump with adjustable feed rate. Two different brewing members are used for the preparation of the two kind of coffees, namely a sieve holder and a filter support which are connectable via a mounting and supporting flange to the boiler. A mode switch is assigned to the mounting and supporting flange which automatically changes the mode of operation of the coffee brewing machine upon exchanging the brewing member. Thereby, the feed rate of the water pump and the temperature of the hot water are adapted to optimize the conditions for preparing either normal coffee or espresso coffee.
