  • Device for optical connection of an optical fibre, with another optical element
    Patent number: 6095696
    Abstract: A device for optical connection of an optical fiber (2) with a lens (4) comprises a substantially sleeve-shaped retainer (6) and a connector element (10). The optical fiber (2) is fixed in the retainer (6), and the retainer has an end surface (8) at which the end surface of the optical fiber is intended to be positioned. The connector element has an engagement surface (12) intended to engage the end surface of the retainer, said engagement surface being constituted by a funnel-shaped surface tapering from the end surface of the retainer.

  • Device for optical connection of an optical element, for example an optical fiber, with a lens
    Patent number: 5247595
    Abstract: A device for optically connecting an optical element, for example an end portion of an optical fibre (2), with a spherical lens (4), comprises a retainer (6) and a connector element (14). The retainer (6) fixes the optical element in a predeterment position in relation to an outer reference surface (8) of the retainer. The connector element (14) has at least one surface (18) for determining the position of the spherical lens (4) and at least one surface (16) for determining the position of the retainer (6) in relation to the spherical lens (4) and thereby for defining the relative position between the optical element (2) and the spherical lens (4). The surface (18) for determining the position of the spherical lens (4) is constituted by a conical surface (18) tapering in the direction of the optical element (2).

  • Machine for crushing cylindrical aluminium cans for beer, soft drinks etc.
    Patent number: 4499824
    Abstract: Machine for crushing cylindrical aluminium cans for beer, soft drinks etc. The machine comprises a can intake. A craddle for receiving the can in a substantially horizontal position is displacable between a receiving position in the can intake and a crushing position in a press device for squeezing the cans axially between the end walls thereof. The displacement of the craddle between said position is effected by displacement of a closure member for the can intake between opened and closed positions. A perforated sloping plane is arranged below the press device for receiving the crushed can falling down from the press device at the return movement thereof after crushing, and diverting the crushed can to a collecting container.
