  • Patent number: 11434813
    Abstract: The invention relates to a valve assembly (100) for a multi-scroll turbine (10) for controlling an overflow of exhaust gases between a first spiral (36) and a second spiral (38) and for controlling a bypass opening (50). The valve assembly 100 comprises a lever (110) and a valve closing element (120) which is operatively connected to the lever (110). Furthermore, the valve assembly (100) comprises a spring element (130) which is designed to pre-bias the valve closing element (120) the against lever (110).

  • Publication number: 20220227522
    Abstract: A device for orienting a packaging, such as a sterile packaging. Orienting the package comprises one or more of folding open or tightening at least one edge of the packaging in a substantially horizontal plane. The device arranges the packaging into a working position in which the packaging is oriented. The device comprises a brush station having at least one substantially horizontally oriented rotating brush designed and arranged to come into frictional contact with the at least one edge of the packaging.

  • Publication number: 20120055154
    Abstract: The invention relates to a turbocharger (1) in which, for damping the wastegate flap/wastegate lever system, an axially acting spring element is provided in order to reduce wear. The turbocharger (1) comprises a compressor (2) and a turbine (3) which has a turbine housing (4) and a wastegate device (6) with a regulating flap (7). The flap plate (7?) of the regulating flap (7) is arranged, via a lever (5), on a regulating flap shaft (9) which is guided in the turbine housing (4) by means of a bush (8). Here, the flap plate (7?) is preloaded against the lever (5) by means of a spring element (10).
