Abstract: Various embodiments of this invention disclose a mattress with two cover layers that enclose a spring grid array core wherein the springs are mounted back to back on a single grid support. The spring array is surrounded by a frame layer and is divisible into separate recumbence areas by supportive flanges.

Abstract: An ink cartridge has a pair of elongated, longitudinally extending, and transversely spaced side plates and a pair of short, transversely extending, and longitudinally spaced end plates bridging the side plates and forming therewith an downwardly open compartment adapted to hold a body of ink. Respective doctor blades extend transversely toward each other from lower edges of the side plates and define a floor of the compartment and a central downwardly open mouth adapted to feed ink from the body to a roll below the compartment. Respective axially spaced flexible bodies carried on the end plates are shiftable between outer positions generally disengaged from axial end edges of the doctor blades and inner positions bearing axially against the axial end edges.

Abstract: A printer having a roll with a radial outer roll surface has an ink cartridge having a housing itself having a pair of side walls and a pair of end walls bridging the side walls and defining therewith a downwardly open mouth juxtaposed with the roll surface. One of the side walls is shiftable between an outer position defining a relatively large volume and an inner position. Doctor blades supported on the housing have outer edges resiliently engageable at the mouth with the surface. One of the doctor blades is shiftable between an open position with its outer edge spaced from the other doctor blade and a closed position. A mechanism connected to the one wall and to the one doctor blade shifts the one doctor blade between the open position and the closed position and simultaneously shifts the one wall from the inner position to the outer position.

Abstract: The invention is a grid section for a mattress core, wherein springs are mounted back to back on the grid section and wherein the grid section is attached to other grid sections in a two dimensional array to create an interconnected grid array. The grid section is cross shaped with four arms. Each arm has either a male or female tip. The male and female tips of the grid sections fit together to form the mattress grid array.

Abstract: Various embodiments of this invention disclose an internal spring array of a mattress wherein the springs are mounted back to back on a membrane, and a simplified method for making an internal spring array of a mattress. The springs of the array have support plates connected to a base section via a spring arm.

Abstract: Sheets are conveyed through a printing or coating machine having at least one gripping assembly for gripping and holding a leading edge of a sheet to be transported and lying in at least one recess of the cylindrical transport drum and rotating with the cylindrical transport drum about its rotation axis. This grab and the respective support of the gripping assembly are moved by a drive provided in or on the cylindrical transport drum during a predetermined or predeterminable angular travel of the cylindrical transport drum along a straight path tangentially to an outer surface of the cylindrical transport drum.

Abstract: A printer has a press frame and a roll rotatable in the frame about an axis and having a radially outwardly directed roll surface. An ink cartridge has a housing having a pair of support plates juxtaposed with and angularly spaced along the roll surface. Doctor blades supported on the support plates have outer edges resiliently engageable with the surface. One of the doctor blades is shiftable on the housing between an open position and a closed position with the outer edges engaging each other. Interengageable formations on the housing and on the press frame are movable between a use position retaining the housing on the press frame with the outer edges engaging the surface and a removal position. An actuating element is shiftable to move the one doctor blade from the open position to the closed position and shift the formations from the use position into the removal position.

Abstract: The invention concerns a printing machine for the imprint of individual items, notably CDs or DVDs, by means of at least one print station, utilizing one or more printing processes, whereby the individual items traverse at least one print station on a transport path in transport carriers and whereby by means of grips during one movement of the grips and the transport carriers the individual items may be delivered and picked up from the transport carriers and such individual items are centered in relation to the transport carrier during the process of delivery. The invention furthermore concerns a gripping system, transport carrier and process for utilizing the same.

Abstract: A sheet support bridging a pair of parallel longitudinally extending and transversely spaced guides has a stack of substantially identical and transversely extending support elements having transversely opposite ends slidable along the guides and a flexible connecting strand engaging all of the elements such that when stressed longitudinally the elements separate longitudinally from one another at a generally uniform spacing.

Abstract: A crank mechanism for use in a rotary printing press is capable of varying the crank stroke length while the rotary printing press is operating. A rotatable eccentric journal and an eccentric bushing are shiftable with respect to each other. A helical groove and a cooperating pin are used to shift the eccentricities of the journal and the bushing to vary the effective stroke length of the crank mechanism.

Abstract: A cylinder for a rotary printing press can be changed between two operating modes. In a first one of these operating modes the cylinder's surface is divided into many sections. In the second operating mode, the cylinder has a functionally continuous surface area.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the photolithographic production of structures on a support, in particular, the production of structures of the ink feed channels for ink jet heads of ink jet printers, in which the support is provided with a dry-film resist. The object of the invention is to obtain a high steepness of the flank of the structures. This object is achieved in the manner that the support, together with the dry-film resist, is subjected to a brief exposure corresponding to the intended structuring, followed by a rapid heating of the support.
