  • Publication number: 20240076091
    Abstract: A method for the production monitoring of a labeling machine, and a labeling machine for labeling containers, comprising a transport means for continuously supplying the containers, at least one labeling assembly for transferring labels to the containers, and at least one label store for continuously supplying labels, is described. Accordingly, the filling state of the label store and a machine performance of the transport means and/or of the labeling assembly are continuously measured and, on this basis, at least one remaining running time is calculated, which indicates how long labeling can still be carried out, at the filling state, in the case of an assumed further course of machine performance. The output of the remaining running time facilitates continuous production planning and enables efficient personnel use for the required replenishment of consumables.

  • Publication number: 20230135649
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cleaning device, in particular a suction wiper, having a housing with at least one cleaning medium for receiving a cleaning agent, having a cleaning medium carrier for receiving the cleaning medium, having a drive for driving the cleaning medium carrier and having a controller. At least one vibration sensor for detecting a strength of a vibration is arranged in the housing and the controller is designed to determine the moisture of the cleaning medium, the controller evaluating a change in the strength of the vibration. The invention also relates to a method for operating a cleaning device.

  • Patent number: 11437787
    Abstract: A spark plug housing. The spark plug housing includes an inner side, an outer side, and a longitudinal axis, which extends from an end of the spark plug housing facing toward the combustion chamber up to an end of the spark plug housing facing away from the combustion chamber. The spark plug housing includes a circumferential shoulder on its inner side, which is designed so that a spark plug insulator rests thereon, and a corrosion protection layer on its inner side, which is formed on a section of the inner side of the spark plug housing, the section extending from the end of the spark plug housing facing toward the combustion chamber to at least over the shoulder and along the inner circumference of the spark plug housing.

  • Publication number: 20200157968
    Abstract: A burst protection device is provided for a radial turbocharger having a turbine housing completely enclosing a turbine wheel rotatably arranged in the turbine housing, and turbine housing inner wall. The burst protection device is annularly arranged in the radial turbocharger about a central axis (A) in a circumferential direction on the turbine housing inner wall, so as to at least partly engage about the turbine wheel. The burst protection device defines at least one recess/hollow space. The at least one recess/hollow space is configured such that kinetic energy of fragments of the turbine wheel produced upon bursting of the turbine wheel is absorbed by the burst protection device based on plastic deformation of the at least one recess/hollow space, a first one of the at least one recess/hollow space being unilaterally open in a direction of the turbine housing.

  • Patent number: 9225100
    Abstract: A socket housing comprises an inner part and an outer part, the inner part being formed to receive at least one electrically conductive contact element, and a wall of the outer part defining a cavity. Therein, the inner part and the outer part are arranged adjoining one another. An external diameter of the inner part is equal to or less than an internal diameter of the outer part. The socket housing is formed in one piece, the inner part and the outer part being connected via a crosspiece formed as a predetermined breaking point.

  • Patent number: 6793404
    Abstract: The invention relates to an optical connector housing (100) for connecting an optical fiber to an optical element, such as a diode or a further optical fiber. The housing (100) comprises a substantially tubular receptacle (102) for one or more optical fibers and a retention member (104), which is received with interlocking fit in the housing (100) and is displaceable vertically to the optical fiber. In order to provide a housing (100) which fixes the optical fiber easily and inexpensively, yet securely, according to the invention the retention member (104) is manufactured from the same material and integrally with the housing (100). In the pre-assembly position, the retention member (104) is supported by webs (106) on the housing (100). During assembly, the retention member (104) is displaced in such a way that it engages the optical fiber and secures it against axial displacement.

  • Patent number: 4296317
    Abstract: A paint application method with manual or automatic guidance of the spray gun at a constant distance from the working surface in the zone of picture reproduction, with the amount of sprayed paint controlled by the intensity of a light beam guided by a picture pattern. The light beam strikes a photocell cooperating with a control element of the spray opening of the spray gun, the photocell or/and the picture pattern being moved synchronously with the guide movement of the spray gun. With manual guidance of the spray gun, the light beam may be a projection beam which projects the picture pattern on the working surface. The spray opening may be guided automatically row for row over the working surface.
