  • Patent number: 6769350
    Abstract: This invention relates to a linear path slide (10) with a slide (26) which is arranged slidingly movable in a housing (12) along a sliding guide (20) and safe against torsion and with a hydraulic driving gear (40) integrated into the slide (26) for a shifting movement of the slide (26), whereby a working piston of the hydraulic driving gear (40) is configured with at least two stages, whereby each stage of the working piston forms a partial hydraulic driving gear (40′, 40″) of the hydraulic driving gear (40) so that higher actuation forces can thus be realized.

  • Patent number: 6761104
    Abstract: The linear path slide (100) with a slide (10) which is arranged with a sliding guide (12) slidingly movable and resistant to torsion in a housing (11) and with a hydraulic driving gear which causes the translation movement of the slide (10) and which has a piston (24) arranged slidingly movable in a cylinder by constituting a hydraulic working space (13), is configured in such a way that the cylinder and the working space (13) are placed in the slide (10), the piston (24) being fixed with respect to the housing (11).

  • Patent number: 6682781
    Abstract: A wetting device for the mat (10) of a carrier material comprises a grasping frame which is constituted by side ledges (101, 102, 104), whereby the mat to be coated (10) can be fixed by clamps (105) to the side ledges. At least one of the side ledges of the frame is configured flexible (bendable), since it preferably comprises several segments (101, 102) which are hinged together. Thus, the clamped mat (10) can be brought into a cylindrical configuration in which it can be coated by a spray device which is introduced into the inner space of the cylinder. Due to the subsequent bending of the flexible side ledge in the opposite direction, the mat (10) can be brought into a second cylindrical configuration for which its other upper surface constitutes the inner side of the cylinder and is thus available for being coated by the spray device. During the spraying operation, the cylinder axis is preferably orientated vertically in order to avoid non-homogeneities of the coating because of the gravitation.

  • Publication number: 20010033874
    Abstract: A device for manufacturing internal motor vehicle components of multicomponent plastics material, particularly polyurethane, wherein the internal motor vehicle components are composed of a carrier and a decorative foil which are glued together by the foamed multicomponent plastics material. The device includes a lower die part and an upper die part and a frame for supporting the decorative foil. The die cavity is sealed by a sealing rope. In the closed position of the device, the three sides of the sealing rope which do not face the die cavity are in contact and secured by the clamping frame and the lower and upper die parts. The fourth side of the sealing rope facing the die cavity is expandable in the direction toward the die cavity. The sealing rope may be attached to and movable with the clamping frame.

  • Patent number: 5142504
    Abstract: A process for detecting a phase boundary surface between layers of fluids which are not intermixable with one another includes the steps of penetrating at least one of the fluids with sound waves to strike a reflector, receiving the reflected sound waves, comparing the transmitted sound waves to the reflected and received sound waves, using the comparison to determine the acoustic propagation impedance, and using the results to determine the position of the phase boundary layer.

  • Patent number: 4773298
    Abstract: The method makes it possible to neutralize surface-laid or camouflaged and in particular intelligent land mines, in that a focused beam of a powerful laser unit is automatically or manually systematically guided over the surface to be cleared of land mines in a grid pattern, the movement sequence of the laser beam being program controlled, so that the laser beam in computer-assisted manner locates the laid mines both systematically in the SCAN process and also in planned manner and neutralizes or detonates them by introducing energy.
