  • Patent number: 11453520
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for manufacturing a pouch containing a brewable material accommodated in a wrapping, comprising a pouch manufacturing device adapted to manufacture a water-permeable pouch containing brewable material, and comprising a sealing station with two sealing jaws movable relative to one another for sealing the pouch in the wrapping placed in a U-shape around the pouch, wherein the sealing jaws are configured to form longitudinal seals (L) lying opposite one another and a transverse seal (Q) extending transversely thereto on the wrapping, wherein at least one sealing jaw comprises first and second sealing jaw elements each configured to form one of the longitudinal seals (L) and a segment of the transverse seal (Q).

  • Publication number: 20210354864
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and a method for manufacturing a bag received in an envelope and containing a brewable material with a bag manufacturing means which is configured to manufacture a bag containing brewable material, and with a sealing station with a sealing jaw element and a counter-jaw element which act on the envelope from opposite sides to seal in the bag. The device is further developed for a reliable and safe manufacture of the packing unit consisting of a bag and an envelope by the sealing jaw element being fixed to a sealing jaw swivel arm at which a sealing jaw connecting rod is applied, and the counter-jaw element being fixed to a counter-jaw swivel arm at which a counter-jaw connecting rod is applied, and by the sealing jaw connecting rod and the counter-jaw connecting rod being each eccentrically connected to a common drive shaft of a servomotor.

  • Patent number: 6238529
    Abstract: The apparatus for electrolytically treating printed circuit boards 3, through which apparatus the printed circuit boards are continuously guidable in a plane of conveyance in a substantially horizontal direction of conveyance, has the following features: Counter-electrodes 1,2 are disposed opposite the plane of conveyance and substantially parallel thereto on at least one side, so that electrolytic chambers 4,5 are formed between counter-electrodes, which are situated opposite one another, or between the counter-electrodes and the plane of conveyance, the counter-electrodes forming respective substantially continuous electrode faces. Guide elements 7,8 for the printed circuit boards are disposed in the electrolytic chamber. Contact elements 11 are provided for the electrical contacting of the printed circuit boards. Electrolyte spraying arrangements 13 are also provided for conveying the electrolytic fluid towards the surfaces of the printed circuit boards. Openings are provided in the counter-electrodes.

  • Patent number: 6071400
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for the electrochemical treatment of electrically mutually insulated, electrically conductive areas on an item to be treated by means of a treatment liquid. Insulated, for example etched structures on circuit boards cannot be treated electrochemically with known methods since there exists no electrical connection to the bath current source from individual areas. According to the invention, this connection is produced by brushes which touch the structured surfaces to be treated with their electrically conductive and thin fibres. A large number of brushes which are arranged transversely to the direction of transportation take care of the fact that all the electrically conductive areas on the item to be treated which are arranged in an insulated manner from one another are contacted electrically at least one after another and that the achieved contact time is sufficiently long.
