Patent number: 10934119Abstract: A device for decelerating a transported and flat shaped product includes a brake operable by an air jet supplied by an air jet nozzle. The air jet nozzle is configured to impinge the air jet on a braking force implementing body to exert a braking force on the flat shaped product. The braking force implementing body includes: at least one first element, which has a physical structure for a return-flow of the air jet supplied by the air jet nozzle, and at least one second element, which for the braking force implementation is in an operative connection with the first element. The second element is configured to implement an impulse force caused by the air jet from the air jet nozzle. The impulse force results as the braking force onto the flat shaped product.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Mueller Martini Holding AGInventors: Christian Troxler, Roger Luescher

Patent number: 10913631Abstract: An apparatus and a method for processing a digitally printed-on paper web, conveyed continuously through the apparatus includes a perforating tool for perforating the paper web transverse to its movement direction, and a cutting tool for cutting print sheets from a downstream end of the paper web. The tools are attached spaced-apart to a tool carrier which can be moved to two operating positions in which respectively one of the tools can be made to engage with a counter tool on a rotating cutting drum.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2018Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: MÜLLER MARTINI HOLDING AGInventors: Rolf Meyerhans, Roger Lüscher, Markus Bracher

Patent number: 9828202Abstract: An apparatus and method for forming a stack with advertising material compilations respectively consisting of an envelope with inserts therein, and having a common, leading folded edge. The apparatus includes a feed conveyor, a transfer conveyor and a stacking device. The transfer conveyor comprises a central wheel that rotates around a first rotational axis, a carrier wheel that rotates around a second rotational axis oriented parallel to the first rotational axis, and a number of pivoting arms with respectively one gripper. The second rotational axis is arranged below a horizontal plane extending through the first rotational axis. The grippers are respectively positioned on the pivoting arm to rotate around an axis. The grippers take over the advertising material compilations in a takeover region from the feed conveyor, transfer the adverting compilations in a transfer region to the stacking device which extends into the transfer region and deposit these on the stacking device.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2016Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: MUELLER MARTINI HOLDING AGInventors: Rolf Meyerhans, Roger Lüscher

Patent number: 9526189Abstract: An exemplary power-electronic switching system has a plurality of switching units, wherein each switching unit includes a housing and at least one switching module which is arranged within the housing. A mounting unit has a holding apparatus, on which the housings of the switching units are arranged. The holding apparatus includes an insulation material for electrically insulating the holding apparatus from the housings of the switching units and the housings of the switching units from one another. The insulation material allows the housings of the switching units of the switching system to have different voltage potentials from one another and additionally can be realized in a simple and space-saving manner and easily be assembled. In addition, the housing of each switching unit includes a material for at least partially shielding an electric and magnetic field.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2013Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: ABB Schweiz AGInventors: Michael Weiss, Roger Lüscher, Arthouros Iordanidis, Bogdan Cranganu-Cretu, Jürgen Steinke

Patent number: 8915491Abstract: A method for operating a collection system for printed products includes drawing off the printed products from discharge device(s) disposed at corresponding discharge point(s) in the collection system. The printed products are deposited on a collection section during a cycle period of the discharge device(s) so as to form a bundle of printed products. The bundle is transferred to a subsequent conveying mechanism having receiving pockets. It is determined whether at least one missing printed product exists due to an incorrect drawing off from the discharge point(s). A repair process is initiated and controlled in which the at least one missing printed product is drawn off from the corresponding discharge point(s) at a time corresponding to a subsequent recurrent pocket-related cycle of the subsequent conveying mechanism in a subsequent cycle period of the discharge device(s). The at least one missing printed product is inserted in the relevant receiving pocket.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2012Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: Mueller Martini Holding AGInventors: Rolf Meyerhans, Thomas Probst, Roger Stammbach, Roger Luescher
