  • Patent number: 9671022
    Abstract: The invention relates to known housing seals of two housing parts lying against each other, a first housing part (1) having a first sealing surface (6) and a second housing part (2) having a second sealing surface (7), which housing seals are equipped with a seal (15), which is inserted into a groove (10) in the first sealing surface (6) of the first housing part (1), wherein the groove (10) is covered by the second sealing surface (7) of the second housing part (2). According to the invention, in order to prevent crevice corrosion, the groove (10) has an opening (11) between the sealing surfaces (6, 7), which is used to ventilate the groove (10) having the inserted seal. The invention is intended for water pumps, in particular for auxiliary water pumps of motor vehicles.

  • Patent number: 7967176
    Abstract: A cutting and transport roller for material webs includes media outlet openings in its peripheral surface to which varying pressure can be applied to control the seating pattern of the material web on the peripheral surface of the roller. The roller has a system of pressure feed lines by which the media outlet openings are connected to means for supplying the media. The roller has at least one pressure reservoir that is a part of the pressure feed line system and that can be connected by a valve to at least one part of the media outlet openings.

  • Publication number: 20070022850
    Abstract: Cutting and transport roller (1) for material webs, that comprises of media outlet openings (14) in its peripheral surface (7) to which varying pressure can be applied to control the seating pattern of the material web on the peripheral surface (7) of the roller (1) and that comprises of a system of pressure feed lines (3, 4, 5, 11, 12, 13) by means of which the media outlet openings (14) are connected to means for supplying the media. The present invention differs from the prior art by at least one pressure reservoir (3, 4) that (3, 4) is a part of the pressure feed line system (3, 4, 5, 11, 12, 13) and that can be connected by a valve to at least one part of the media outlet openings. In the present invention, a process is introduced and claimed for controlling the seating pattern of a material web on the peripheral surface of a cutting- and transport roller (1). Said process can be implemented using the roller (1) in accordance with the invention.

  • Publication number: 20040245366
    Abstract: Device for continuous winding of webs onto winding shafts or winding cores to winding rollers, consisting of arms supporting the winding shaft that, or a pressure roller that can be engaged on the winding shaft or winding core, or the forming winding roller, respectively, which is supported in a frame and with a knife separating the web during a roller change. In order to be able to engage the pressure roller with the winding core or winding roller in a low in friction and sensitive manner by means of a drive, the pressure roller is supported on at least one steering rod, which is pivot-connected to two guides, the other ends of which are pivot-supported in the frame.

  • Publication number: 20030007297
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tension-relief component for electrical leads (14)—particularly of an electric motor—provided with an insulation, having a capacitor (12) for suppression of electromagnetic interference, wherein a contact element (48) is provided that is in electrical contact with the capacitor (12), wherein a contacting of at least one lead (14) takes place in that the contact element (48) penetrates the insulation of the lead (14). The contacting of the lead (14) takes place preferably by means of a mandrel (48). The tension-relief component (10) comprises a retaining clip (26), by means of which the capacitor (12) is secured in the tension-relief component (10), while the mandrel (48) is inserted in the tension-relief component (10).

  • Patent number: 5397952
    Abstract: A brush holder for mechanically commutated electric motors has a support plate, a shaft-like guiding container mounted on the support plate for guiding a sliding brush pressed by a spring force against the commutator of an electric motor. The guiding container has side walls extending transverse to the support plate and provided with legs. A pressing spring is formed as a strip-shaped flat spring and has end portions which are oppositely rolled to form rollers abutting against the legs of the guiding container on surfaces of the legs which face the commutator and also have a central portion arranged to load an end surface of the sliding brush facing away from the commutator.

  • Patent number: 4557712
    Abstract: In apparatus for laying for flexible sheets into a folded Z-shaped form, a supply conveyor (1) is disposed above means (9) for supporting or transporting the leading end of each sheet (26). Clamping means (16, 17) for laterally clamping the sheet on a transverse line are provided laterally of the supporting or transporting means (9). A reciprocatable transverse rod (22) is provided in a gap between the supply conveyor (1) and the means (9). Further conveyor means at right-angles to the supporting or transporting means (9) define an inlet which consists of double belt conveyors (30) or pairs of rollers, is extensible and closable in a plier-like manner, and is arranged so that one side edge of each sheet (26) folded to Z-shape by the transverse rod (22) lies within said inlet.

  • Patent number: 4316723
    Abstract: The leading end of an intermittently fed flattened tubular web is clamped by a gripper, whereupon a severing mechanism cuts a section from the web. The gripper advances the leading end of the tube section before the trailing end has cleared a pair of clamping rollers and while a folding roller engages an intermediate portion of the section and moves it laterally to form a loop in the tube section before the latter is discharged transversely.
