Abstract: An adhesive application device for applying, includes a nozzle unit having a number of nozzles for applying an adhesive to a material which is moved along a direction of transport, said nozzles being displaceable transversely to the direction of transport along a first guide spindle; and plural individual gluing heads, each being arranged separately from each other on respective second separate guide spindles, so as to be displaceable transversely to the direction of transport.

Abstract: A discharging system (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) for discharging liquid to pasty compounds (107, 207, 30, 507) out of cavities (106, 206, 306, 506) of at least two containers (105, 205, 305, 405, 405?, 505), comprising a delivery end (109, 209, 309, 409, 509) at which the compounds (107, 207, 307, 507) are discharged; a receiving unit (101, 201, 301, 401, 401?, 501) for at least two containers (105, 205, 305, 405, 405?, 505) comprising the cavities (106, 206, 306, 506) filled with the compounds (107, 207, 307, 507) to be discharged; for each container, a respective advancing rod (103, 203, 303, 403, 403?, 503) with a pusher element (104, 204, 304, 504) provided on that side of the advancing rod (103, 203, 303, 403, 403?, 503) facing toward the delivery end (109, 209, 309, 409, 509); for each container, a respective advancing device for advancing the advancing rod (103, 203, 303, 403, 403?, 503), with the pusher element (104, 204, 304, 504), toward the delivery end (109, 209, 309, 409, 509) in order to discharge

Abstract: An adhesive application device for applying an adhesive to a material which is moved along a direction of transport x, comprising a nozzle unit having a number of nozzles for applying the adhesive to the material should be able to process gluing patterns of different sizes particularly flexibly and efficiently in a very simple manner. For this purpose, the nozzle unit is arranged to be displaceable transversely to the direction of transport x along a first guide spindle.

Abstract: A converter is provided having a converter vessel carried on a trunnion ring by a mounting system. The mounting system has six mounting elements including a plurality of mounting elements incorporating pendulum rods and one mounting element incorporating a stabilizer device. Each pendulum rod is connected at one end to the trunnion ring and at the other end to the converter vessel. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the mounting system includes three longitudinal mounting devices each having a longitudinal pendulum rod; two transverse mounting devices each having a transverse pendulum rod; and a stabilizer device having a pair of spaced stabilizer blocks connected to the trunnion ring and a pair of stabilizer elements connected to the converter vessel. The longitudinal mounting devices and the stabilizer device are located below the trunnion ring and the transverse mounting devices are located above the trunnion ring when the converter vessel is in an upright position.
