Abstract: An apparatus (1) for the clocked longitudinal transport of workpieces (11) between processing stations in a transfer press. The apparatus has, at least on one side, a first (2) and a second (3) longitudinally movable control element as a control group (2, 3), wherein two control elements (2, 3) are mounted to be movable relative to each other solely in the longitudinal direction, and the control elements (2, 3) are driven via a common shaft (58). The first control element is a gripper rod (2) for the longitudinal transport of workpieces (11) between the processing stations, and gripper elements (4), offset in the longitudinal direction by the distance between the processing stations, are mounted in the gripper rod (2) and can be moved solely in the transversal direction. The second control element is a thrust rod (3) which forcibly controls the transversal movement of the at least two gripper elements (4).

Abstract: Method for producing an aerosol dome having a dome region with an upwardly adjoining rolled rim arranged at an upper passage opening and with a downwardly adjoining flange region with an everted portion. An intermediate stage is prepared in one or more stages from a lacquer-coated blank (R), the intermediate stage having the upper passage opening, followed downwardly by a neck portion, then followed by the dome region, which is followed by an encircling straight flange. The intermediate stage is processed in a processing stage (S9) in which only the everted portion is formed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a rolled edge from a cylindrical edge portion (11) of a pipe. In the method, a starting zone (14) of the edge portion (11) is rolled by a forcibly controlled tool (30). A flanging die (21) then advances into the rolled edge portion (11) and flanges the rolled edge portion into a roll (12). The method according to the invention is characterized in that the starting zone (14) of the edge portion (11) is folded over by the tool (30), which comprises a folding die (37) and counterholder (34), at an angle (?) in the range from 75-105° from the axial direction (45) into a substantially radially peripheral flange (41). The invention further relates to elements, in particular in the forme of an aerosol dome, having such rolled edges.

Abstract: Methods for the treatment of a ligament injury include the insertion of at least one suture anchor into a bone opening and anchoring the at least one suture anchor and thereafter threading two ends of a suture of at least one anchored suture anchor through the ligament and pulling the ligament to the bone with the opening and fixing the ligament to that bone by tying a knot in the suture.

Abstract: A method for the treatment of plantar plate injury including insertion of at least one suture anchor into a bone opening and anchoring the at least one suture anchor and thereafter threading two ends of a suture of at least one anchored suture anchor through the plantar plate and pulling the plantar plate to the bone with the opening and fix the soft tissue to that bone by tying a knot in the suture.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bicycle frame comprising a tube section having an interior space for receiving at least one battery unit that is suitable as a source of energy for an electromotive bicycle drive, as well as to a battery unit insertable therein. To provide an easy operation and at the same time a highly stabilized placement of the battery, it is suggested that said tube section is provided with a lateral opening substantially extending in the direction of extension of said tube section, wherein said battery unit is insertable into said interior space through said lateral opening.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing lamella packets (60, 70) of the type normally used in adjustable steering columns in automobiles and which comprise a soft lamella (71) made of soft sheet metal material and at least one layered hard lamella (71) placed on top of said material. The lamella (71, 74) are connected by at least one rivet made of soft lamella (71). The method is characterized by the use of presses (110, 120) positioned one after the other. A soft lamella (71) is formed and stamped out of a strip (111) of said softer material in the first press (110) at a rate dictated by the press (110). Soft lamella (71) produced in this matter are transported to the second press (120). At least one hard lamella (72, 74) is completely formed in a second press (120) from a band (121) of harder sheet material and then stamped. Said hard lamella is placed over a soft lamella (71) and a rivet connection is produced.
