  • Patent number: 8011411
    Abstract: For transferring an image-forming layer from a transfer foil a printing sheet, an adhesive layer is first applied to the sheet to be printed. The transfer foil provided with the image-forming layer is guided past the printing sheet under pressure, in a coating module (2), such that the image-forming layer adheres to the adhesive and an image is created. The present invention provides a foil transfer device that includes a substrate on the press cylinder that has a reduced adhesiveness relative to the transfer foil.

  • Patent number: 7921882
    Abstract: The feed line for a hydraulic system, in particular of a motor vehicle, is formed, at least over part of its longitudinal extent, by a dimensionally variable body. The wall of the dimensionally variable body is elastically deformable, at least in regions, so that, when the flow passes through the dimensionally variable body, the cross section of the dimensionally variable body can be varied as a function of the pressure of the hydraulic medium.

  • Publication number: 20080121123
    Abstract: A process for affixing an embossing arrangement to a printing press having opposing first cylinder and second cylinder is disclosed. The embossing arrangement includes an embossing tool and an opposing tool. The process includes the steps of mounting the embossing tool and the opposing tool together on the first cylinder; making a surface of the opposing tool which faces away from the first cylinder a pressure-sensitive adhesive surface; and positioning the opposing tool on the second cylinder by rolling the first cylinder over the second cylinder. An embossing arrangement and a photopolymer embossing plate are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7328899
    Abstract: An apparatus for fixing a sheet on the surface of an electrically conductive cylinder of a printing machine for processing sheets, in particular, a sheet-fed offset printing machine. The apparatus includes an electrode that extends over the width of the cylinder for creating an electric field for adhering the sheet to the surface of the cylinder and an air directing device for directing pressurized air streams against the sheet and preliminary positioning the sheet onto the cylinder prior to being acted upon by the electric field. Various alternative embodiments of the sheet fixing apparatus are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20060017255
    Abstract: A control arm for a motor vehicle, such as a control arm for a front axle in a McPherson construction, has an inside bearing for connecting the control arm with a vehicle body, a wheel suspension bearing for connecting a wheel, and a strut bearing, which is constructed as a hydraulically damped bearing. In order to reduce bothersome torsional steering wheel vibrations, the inside body-side bearing of the control arm has a very stiff construction while the bearing used for the support has a soft construction and is hydraulically damped.

  • Publication number: 20040040460
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for coating printed products, wherein the products are initially printed in at least one printing process and are provided with a layer that covers the printing ink on the printed product immediately thereafter in at least one coating process. According to the invention, a corona treatment device is arranged between the final printing station and a device for coating the printing products for subjecting the printing ink on the printing product to a corona treatment immediately after the printing process such that UV varnish can be directly applied onto the printing inks without the requirement of additional printing processes.
