Patent number: 7451952Abstract: A section of a foil is sandwiched between an upper die and a first lower die and heat deformed into a cavity of the first lower die while simultaneously synchronously displacing the upper die, the first lower die, and the foil downstream. Then the upper die is raised and recirculated back upstream while cooling the section of foil in the cavity of the first lower die and displacing the lower die with the section of the foil downstream. Another section of the foil is sandwiched between the upper die and a second lower die and heat deformed into a cavity of the second lower die while simultaneously synchronously displacing the upper die, the second lower die, and the foil downstream. The first lower die is disengaged from the foil in the downstream station and recirculated back upstream to the upstream station. These steps are then repeated.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2004Date of Patent: November 18, 2008Assignee: Uhlmann Pac-Systeme GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Werner Eck, Werner Florczak, Norbert Damaschke

Patent number: 7140163Abstract: A lower foil formed with upwardly open filled pockets passes horizontally at a constant transport speed through a work station of a machine frame. A support table holds an upper tool immediately above the foil in the station. A double parallelogrammatic linkage has two upper pivots on the support table, two lower pivots on the machine frame, and two upright links pivoted on the upper and lower pivot. A table drive mounted on the frame includes a crank connected to the link for oscillating the link about the lower pivot and thereby reciprocating the support table generally in the transport direction. A lower tool is carried by guides on the support table for only vertical movement relative to the support table. A tool drive mounted on the frame includes another crank connected to the lower tool for reciprocating the lower tool vertically relative to the support table.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2004Date of Patent: November 28, 2006Assignee: Uhlmann Pac-Systeme GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6062506Abstract: A process and device are disclosed for producing a package of elongated winding material. A winding bobbin (50) has a conical winding core (52) and a first detachable flange (53) arranged at the side of the winding core (52) having the smaller diameter, and a second flange (54) arranged at the other side of the winding core (52). The winding bobbin (50) is held in a winding device by means of bobbin holding members (103, 104) which center both flanges (53, 54) and are supported on their surface opposite to the winding core (52). The elongated winding material (D) is then wound on the bobbin (50), the winding process being controlled in such a way that a predetermined type of bobbin is obtained. In particular when a plastic bobbin (50) is used, the package is easy to transport but is at the same time very resistant, so that additional packaging measures may be dispensed with. Packaging waste may thus be almost entirely avoided.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 1999Date of Patent: May 16, 2000Assignee: Maschinenfabrik Niehoff GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Werner Eck, Hans-Georg Horndler

Patent number: 5799468Abstract: A blister-pack package is made by forming a strip with a plurality of fields of upwardly open pockets and filling the pockets with respective objects while leaving at least one pocket empty and then scanning the fields and determining an address of the empty pocket in the respective field. A refilling head is then loaded at a stationary location with at least one of the objects. The loaded refilling head is then positioned above the empty pocket in accordance with the determined address, and the object is dropped from the loaded and positioned head into the empty pocket.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 1997Date of Patent: September 1, 1998Assignee: Uhlmann Pac-Systeme GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 5593108Abstract: A winding bobbin for receiving elongated winding material, in particular metal-containing winding material, comprises a winding core having two flanges arranged thereon and which is preferably made of plastic. At least one flange is removable whereby locking elements are provided for locking the flange on a winding core, ensuring a stable connection between the flange and the winding core in the axial direction. Preferably, a locking element is provided to prevent the removable flange from being unintentionally loosened from the winding core.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 1994Date of Patent: January 14, 1997Assignee: Maschinenfabrik Niehoff GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Werner Eck, Georg-Michael Horndler, Werner Lepach

Patent number: 5001911Abstract: A ram-type press expresses liquid from material being pressed, particularly from a batch of wet textile materials. A press ram can be moved onto the material being pressed by the action of a pressure cylinder. A cylindrical shell, accommodating the material being pressed, can be closed at its bottom by a perforated thrust plate. The materials to be pressed and the press ram can be introduced one after the other from above into the cylindrical shell. The press ram is connected to an edge of an opening of a pot-shaped elastically yielding cushioning member and includes a union which can be connected to a water main in order to introduce water into the cushioning member. The bottom of this cushioning member forms a membrane which can be pressed against the material from which the liquid is to be expressed.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 1988Date of Patent: March 26, 1991Assignee: Passat-Maschinenbau Gmbtt.Inventors: Werner Eck, Friedrich Geiger

Patent number: 4856302Abstract: The invention relates to a batch washing machine (1) with at least one rotatably supported and driven cylinder (2, 3), wherein several washing compartments are formed, through which the laundry is passed step by step. For this purpose, the cylinder (2) is supported by rollers (6, 7) at its two ends (4, 5) and is also driven at one or both support points. In the construction of a batch washing machine with a twin-shell cylinder, the outer cylinder (3) is stationary, while the inner cylinder (2) extends at both ends (4, 5) over the outer cylinder (3) and is supported and driven at this projection (23). Therefore, on the projection (23) a stepped annular flange (10) is fastened, which has an annular groove (11) for guiding the support rollers (6, 7) and immediately next to it a sprocket wheel (12) for the chain (9).Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 1987Date of Patent: August 15, 1989Assignee: Kleindienst GmbH FirmaInventor: Werner Eck
