  • Patent number: 10875680
    Abstract: The invention relates to a closure cap for a substantially cylindrical vessel, with a lateral surface, a closed end and an open end, and with a tear-open strip having a grip tab for opening the closure cap. In order to produce closure caps which are designed such that they can be applied by machine to substantially cylindrical vessels, it is proposed within the context of the invention that the lateral surface is substantially cylindrical, at least in the area of the open end, and that the closure cap is of stackable design and has means for stacking at least two closure caps with defined spacing. The invention is based on the finding that, for cost reasons, it is useful if also closure caps for substantially cylindrical vessels can be stacked, i.e. pushed onto one another, during transport as they then take up less space.

  • Patent number: 10837917
    Abstract: An inspection of containers for impurities, using a radiation source. The radiation source is designed to emit radiation that radiates through a container to be examined. The device also comprises a detection element which is designed to detect the radiation that has been emitted by the radiation source and has radiated through the container. The device further comprises an evaluation element which is designed to evaluate the radiation detected by the detection element. An identification element comprising an optical watermark is arranged in the optical path between the radiation source and the detection element.

  • Publication number: 20180305114
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a capsule for a substantially cylindrical vessel with a shell surface, an upper open end, and a lower closed end, wherein the shell surface, at least in the area of the open end, is of substantially cylindrical design. In order to protect substantially cylindrical vessels against breakage in cost-effective manner, it is suggested in the scope of the invention that the shell surface above the closed end comprises at least one means for forming a free space, which is a crimp, directed at least partially inwards on the shell surface. Here, the capsule is configured in such a way, that it can be fitted onto the bottom-side end of the substantially cylindrical vessel. The tolerance limits of the substantially cylindrical vessel are thereby compensated.

  • Publication number: 20080152802
    Abstract: A method for cleaning, method and device for the application of a protective medium to a turbine blade, and a method for placing cooling bores in a turbine blade is disclosed. For this purpose, hot supercritical carbon dioxide is used as a tempering and/or cleaning medium and compressed and decompressed one or more successive times. The cleaning medium is decompressed to a pressure at which the gas assumes a volume that is a multiple of the volume of the compressed cleaning medium in the pressure tank. In so doing, it is possible to remove particulate and other impurities, even from recesses, blind holes, or open hollow spaces.

  • Patent number: 5632481
    Abstract: The invention relates to a blade for an indoor bandy stick, comprising a top-edge reinforcing rib (5), a bottom-edge reinforcing rib (6) and therebetween a number of reinforcing ribs (7, 9) which lie lengthwise of the blade and are spaced from each other so as to form open spaces between the lengthwise ribs (5, 6, 7, 9). The interspace between the mid-section reinforcing ribs (7) is located at the distance of a radius (D/2) of a ball (3) from the bottom edge of a blade (12). Thus, the ball hits the reinforcing ribs at more than one point along the ball surface. One or both sides of the blade can be concave.

  • Patent number: 5158806
    Abstract: A method for impregnating fibre bundles with molten or liquid resin in manufacturing a fibre-reinforced material, which material comprises one or more fibre bundles, wherein each fibre is surrounded by matrix resin, by impregnating a continuous web (10;10a) of one or more fibre bundles with molten or liquid resin (32, 33) and solidifying the resin by cooling or chemical reaction. During the impregnation the molten or liquid resin (35) material is made subject to shear forces by bringing it between two closely nearby surfaces (10;10a, 36;37) which are in moving relationship to each other.

  • Patent number: 5108797
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for impregnating fibre bundles with molten or liquid resin (24, 29) in manufacturing a fibre-reinforced material, which material comprises fibre bundle or bundled groups of fibres, wherein each fibre is surrounded by matrix resin, by impregnating a continuous web (10, 10a) of one or more fibre bundles with molten or liquid resin (24, 29) and solidifying said resin by cooling or chemical reaction. Before said impregnation the molten or liquid resin material (29) is made subject to shear forces by bringing it to flow between two closely nearby surfaces (26, 27) which are in moving relationship into each other.
