Publication number: 20220314601Abstract: A method for assembling a hollow cylinder on, or removing a hollow cylinder from, a further cylinder. The hollow cylinder includes a body with openings for creating an air cushion within a first portion of a shell and a second portion of the shell is gas-impervious or has openings for creating an air cushion of a reduced quantity and/or size compared to the first portion. The openings are connected to a gas feed and a gas inlet inside the body. The further cylinder has openings on a shell and gas is fed though the openings via an internal gas supply. An assembly method includes providing the hollow cylinder, applying a seal to the first portion to prevent escape of gas from the first portion, providing the further cylinder, applying gas to the further cylinder so that gas escapes from the openings, and pushing the hollow cylinder onto the further cylinder.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2020Publication date: October 6, 2022Applicant: FLINT GROUP GERMANY GMBHInventors: Martin SCHWIERTZ, Uwe MÜLLER, Klaus BENNINK

Patent number: 11420434Abstract: A cylinder is arranged to receive one or more hollow cylinders on an outer surface of the cylinder. The cylinder has at least one movable stop with at least one movable element. In an idle position the at least one movable element does not protrude beyond the outer surface of the cylinder and allows hollow cylinders to be slid over the cylinder, and in an active position it protrudes beyond the outer surface of the cylinder and acts as a mechanical stop for hollow cylinders. The at least one movable element can be moved from the idle position to the active position, and vice versa, by means of a rotary movement. A method for positioning a hollow cylinder on a cylinder of this kind.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2019Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: FLINT GROUP GERMANY GMBHInventors: Martin Schwiertz, Markus Schlapschi, Uwe Müller, Klaus Bennink

Patent number: 11203197Abstract: Described herein is an adapter sleeve for adapting the internal diameter of cylindrical hollow cylinders to the external diameter of a cylindrical roller, comprising a sleeve body with (as viewed from the inside to the outside) a deformable base sleeve, optionally an intermediate layer and a top layer. The adapter sleeve furthermore contains a first gas distribution system and a second gas distribution system, which are connected to a gas inlet. The first gas distribution system is connected to at least one first gas outlet, which opens on an outer lateral surface of the adapter sleeve. The second gas distribution system has a cavity, which is designed, when supplied with a pressurized gas, to transmit pressure from the inside to the deformable base sleeve in such a way that the internal diameter of the sleeve body is reduced, at least in a partial region of the adapter sleeve, by a deformation of the base sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2018Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: Flint Group Germany GmbHInventors: Uwe Mueller, Markus Schlapschi

Patent number: 10448500Abstract: An HF combiner includes a housing having a common terminal and n signal line terminals. The n signal line terminals are coupled to the common terminal within the housing via one of n filter paths in each case. A circuit board arrangement is used for outcoupling and separately transmitting low-frequency signals, and includes a common terminal contact and n signal line terminal contacts. Each of the n signal line terminal contacts is electrically connected or connectable to the common terminal contact via one of n bypass lines in each case. For this purpose, a control device controls n signal line switching devices.
