Patent number: 11221030Abstract: The invention relates to a device for holding a head of a pin of a component, said device having a receiving space which defines an opening via which the head of the pin can be inserted; a spring element disposed in the receiving space; and a path limiter which is disposed in the receiving space. The spring element has a receptacle for the head of the pin of the component, and the straight line which connects the geometric center point of the opening to the geometric center point of the receptacle forms a reference line. A curved or bent receiving section of a spring arm of the spring element is provided as part of the receptacle. The receiving section has at least one distance point which is arranged furthest from the reference line than other points along the extension of the curved or bent receiving section.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2018Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: A.

Publication number: 20160161181Abstract: A method and a device that serve for producing compressed nitrogen by low-temperature decomposition of air in a distillation column system which has a high-pressure column, a low-pressure column, a high-pressure column head condenser and a low-pressure column head condenser. A main air compressor constitutes the only gas compressor powered by external energy. An internally compressed nitrogen stream is formed by a part-stream of the liquid nitrogen stream from the high-pressure column head condenser and/or a part-stream of the liquid nitrogen stream from the low-pressure column head condenser; the internally compressed nitrogen stream is brought in the liquid state to a product pressure which is between 15 and 100 bars; then the internally compressed nitrogen stream is heated in the main heat exchanger and then extracted as a gaseous compressed nitrogen product below the product pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2014Publication date: June 9, 2016Inventors: Alexander Alekseev, Dimitri Goloubev, Thomas Eckert

Patent number: 7874775Abstract: A fastening device to be fitted into a support part (22) has a cover plate (1) and two clamping arms (6, 7). Each clamping arm (6, 7) has an inner leg (5) and an outer leg (10) which has a bracing structure on its end facing the cover plate (1). The bracing structure of each clamping arm (6) is provided with two flat side cheeks (15, 16) that are joined to mutually opposite side margins (13, 14) of the respective outer leg (10) and extend toward the other clamping arm (6, 7). Each side cheek (15, 16) has an end face (17) that is oriented at an angle to the cover plate (1) and falls away toward the respective outer leg (10) from the end remote from that outer leg (10). The fastening device according to the invention can consequently be used in the presence of relatively high extraction forces with support parts that vary in thickness over a relatively large range.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2007Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: A.
