  • Patent number: 10833493
    Abstract: A method of removing an inner sheath of electrical conductors of a multicore cable (K) having a film located between a shielding or an insulation and the inner conductors. The method comprising the steps of clamping of the cable (K), cutting of the inner sheath, establishing a connection with a pull-off means (5), and subsequently pulling off a cut or a cut-off sheath in a longitudinal direction of the cable (K).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10784663
    Abstract: An apparatus for removing an inner sheathing of electrical conductors of a preferably multi-core cable comprises at least one holding arrangement/clamping device for axial and rotational clamping of the cable and a cutter assembly (1, 21) that can be rotated about the cable longitudinal axis, to the cutters of which a force can be applied in the direction of the cable axis. The at least one cutter (24, 26) comprises a contact surface (26) provided for placing on the surface of the inner sheathing and directly adjacent thereto a cutting edge (24), which protrudes beyond this contact surface (26).

  • Patent number: 10381809
    Abstract: A device for removing a sheath of electrical conductors of a preferably multicore cable (K), preferably comprises at least one holding arrangement/clamping device for clamping the cable (K), and a blade arrangement (1), which can preferably be rotated about the longitudinal cable axis, for the sheath. A pull-off device (A) for the at least partially cut sheath is integrated into the device. This pull-off device (A) comprises pull-off mechanism (5), which is designed for connection to the sheath and for exertion of a force on the sheath parallel to the cable axis. The invention further relates to a method of removing an inner sheath of electrical conductors of a multicore cable (K).

    Abstract: A device for removing a sheath of electrical conductors of a preferably multicore cable (K), preferably comprises at least one holding arrangement/clamping device for clamping the cable (K), and a measuring arrangement (1), which can preferably be rotated about the longitudinal cable axis, for the sheath. A pull-off device (A) for the at least partially cut sheath is integrated into the device. This pull-off device (A) comprises pull-off mechanism (5), which is designed for non-positive connection to the sheath and for exertion of a force on the sheath parallel to the cable axis. The invention further relates to a method of removing an inner sheath of electrical conductors of a multicore cable (K).

  • Patent number: 8978283
    Abstract: A remote-operable firing pin safety catch is provided. A mechanical firing pin safety catch is supplemented by a further electrically remote-operable safety catch device, wherein it is basically the case that firing is possible only when the safety catch of a firing pin has been both locally mechanically released and also electrically released by means of a remote controller. As an electrical firing pin safety catch, an electric actuator is incorporated into the mechanical firing pin safety catch.

  • Patent number: 8035680
    Abstract: Digital data acquired from individual cameras and images converted to digitized images are projected onto virtual 3D screens, which can be generated by a computer. This can be realized by way of 3D-accelerated hardware. The images are not, however, projected in 3D. The virtual 3D scenario with the current camera images is projected and presented to the users in 2D. This process makes it possible to use simple cameras (2n) with single lenses. There is no need to use cameras with zoom technology.
