  • Patent number: 8968056
    Abstract: The system for machining the bottom of skis comprises a machine frame, in which a ski is stationary supported by roller carriers. The machining is performed by machining tools on a carriage, which extends throughout under the ski. During the machining, the carrier rollers that are alternately arranged behind each other, take over the support of the ski. There are always so many carrier rollers directly under the ski that its bottom remains in a stationary position.

  • Patent number: 7059398
    Abstract: The invention relates to a soldered heat exchanger, especially a capacitor for a motor vehicle ventilation system, comprising a heat exchanger network made of tubes and ribs and at least one collector pipe made of a base (2) and a cover (3) and separating walls (8), whereby the base (2) and the cover (3) have edges (4, 5, 6, 7) which overlap on the longitudinal sides thereof. The base (2) receives the ends of the tubes and the separating walls (8) are fixed in relation to the cover (3) by means of a first and second shoulder (8b, 8c and a lug (8a). According to the invention, groove-shaped recesses (3b, 3c) are arranged in the edges (6, 7) of the cover (3) in the region of the separating walls (8), wherein the shoulders (8b, 8c) of the separating walls (8) engage. A secure positioning of the separating walls in the collector pipe is obtained in addition to a leakage-free soldering of the capacitor.

  • Patent number: 7043936
    Abstract: The invention relates to a condenser (1) comprising an integrated collector (5) which is arranged parallel to one of the collector tubes (2) and is connected to said connector tube via two overflow opening (8 and 9). Said collector (5) is used to receive a drying/filtering unit (11). The condenser (1), consisting of tubes (3), ribs (4) and collector tubes (2), is produced by welding. According to the invention, the drying/filtering unit (11) is introduced into the collector (5) before the welding process and is positioned therein or connected thereto in a fixed manner. The collector (5) is then closed and the entire condenser (1) is welded. The connection between the drying/filtering unit (11) and the collector (5) is thus carried out before or during the welding process by means of welding. The invention is preferably used for air conditioning systems in motor vehicles.
