Abstract: A process for preparing isocyanates in the gas phase, in which the mixing of the reactants and thus the reaction conditions are significantly improved by means of hydrodynamic measures such as increasing the turbulence of the feed stream in the central nozzle. As a consequence, the necessary residence time in the reactor and thus the length of the reactor are reduced and the formation of polymeric by-products which lead to caking in the reactor and a shortening of the operating period of the reactors is avoided.

Abstract: A roller lock for releasably fastening a roller in a printing machine includes a pressure piece for retaining the roller, the pressure piece serving for exerting a retention force on a shaft journal of the roller, and the roller having two stops between which a central axis of the roller extends, both a force action line of the retention force of the pressure piece exerted on the axle journal of the roller, and a force action line of a contact force exerted on a bale of the roller being directable through the central axis; and a printing machine having the roller lock.

Abstract: A device for clamping the trailing edge of a printing plate in a plate cylinder of a rotary printing machine includes a torsion bar disposed in a cylinder gap formed in the plate cylinder and extending in axial direction thereof, clamping elements affixed to the torsion bar and cooperating with holding elements for clamping the printing plate, and actuators provided on both sides of the plate cylinder for stretching the printing plate in axial direction. The torsion bar is of bipartite construction, and the actuators, respectively, are mounted so as to be displaceable axially independently of one another.

Abstract: A cladding of a printing machine in a region of a side wall of a printing unit of the printing machine includes a housing fastened to the side wall, the housing having an upper housing wall, two lateral housing walls and a housing cover connected to the lateral housing walls so as to be displaceable between a lower position covering the side wall and a position raised to a defined height.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for throwing balls with specific throwing parameters with the aid of a pendulum. The device consists of a pendulum having a free end which is suspended so as to be movable about an axis, characterized in that a holding device for the ball is located at the free end of the pendulum shaft and can release the ball in response to an electrical signal.

Abstract: An axially loadable support bearing for the elastic connection of vehicle parts has a rubber bush equipped with a metal bearing core and a sheet-metal casing provided with a flange. In the installation position of the support bearing, the flange is supported on one edge of a receiving lug receiving the bearing. The bead-like bush endpiece facing away from the flange engages behind the other edge of the receiving lug and has supporting elements which engage in a snap-like manner behind the edge of the receiving lug. An abutment is assigned in the bush endpiece at an axial distance from the edge of the receiving lug. A reliable bearing support in the receiving lug in each axial direction is achieved respectively by the flange and supporting elements.

Abstract: A structure is provided to retain in an axial direction a support bearing inserted into a receiving lug of a vehicle part. Such support bearings have a rubber bush which projects with its endpieces out of the receiving lug, possesses a bearing core and is supported on one side of the receiving lug by means of a flange of a sheet-metal casing. An annular-bead-like bush endpiece facing away from the flange engages over an edge on the other side of the receiving lug. The retention structure can be in the form of a circumferential groove in the annular-bead-like bush endpiece, into which, after the support bearing has been introduced into the receiving lug, a spring ring can be inserted a spring ring which, in the inwardly spread state, has a diameter larger than the inside diameter of the receiving lug. The spring ring thus prevents axial shifting of the support bearing in a direction in which the bead-like bush endpiece would be drawn into the receiving lug.

Abstract: Two side pieces, each assigned to one longitudinal side of the vehicle, of rear axle supports for passenger vehicles are customarily connected to one another by two transverse tie bars arranged at a distance from one another, In a known type of vehicle, the rearward transverse tie bar, which is designed to be flexible, as seen in the direction of travel, is provided in front of a body cross-member which is directly adjacent to a spare wheel pan, near the rear crumple zone of the body at the floor. In the case of a crash, the spare wheel strikes the rearward transverse tie bar via the spare wheel pan. To increase this crumple zone in the body floor region, the rearward transverse tie bar is provided with lateral clearance between the body cross-member and the spare wheel pan. The body cross-member can thus be arranged at a correspondingly large distance from the spare wheel pan, and a corresponding free path for the spare wheel can be achieved.

Abstract: This invention relates to a suspension of an axle gear casing for motor vehicles comprising at least two elastic suspension elements, with one of the suspension elements arranged in front of the axle shaft and the other one arranged behind the axle shaft, in alignment with one another in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and offset to the side of the longitudinal axis of the gear casing, wherein coordination of the stiffnesses of the suspension elements causes a rotating movement of the axle gear casing opposing a movement of the axle gear casing that occurs under the influence of the driving reaction moment from the vehicle wheels and engine drive and which normally shifts the front end of the casing correspondingly in the upward direction to maintain the position of the drive shaft of the axle gear with respect to a center of a flexible disk of a driving cardan shaft to ensure that a change of angle between the drive shaft and the cardan shaft is limited to a tolerable extent.

Abstract: A guide control rod for a wheel suspension arrangement of motor vehicles. The guide control rod includes spaced side walls extending in a longitudinal direction with guide sockets being positioned in an area of the respective ends of the guide control rods. Each side wall is formed by a single stamped or pressed plate element. The guide sockets are formed by collar portions which define mounting openings extending through the respective side walls. The collar portions have different diameters so as to enable the collar portions of the respective plate members to be pressed onto one another, thereby connecting the two plate members to each other.

Abstract: An axle carrier for motor vehicles having two side members extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle and two transverse members which connect the side members and are connected to the side members so that the corners at the point of connection are rigid or stiff with respect to moments about a longitudinal axis of the side members. These side members are constructed as hollow profiles which are resistant to torsion and to bending and, in a region of the respective ends thereof, are provided with openings for accommodating elastic supporting elements enabling the connecting of the axle carrier to a body of the vehicle. The axle carrier connection for the wheel guide members are provided only on the side members. The transverse members are formed by open profiles flexible to torsion, with respect to their longitudinal axis, and resistant to bending in a vertical direction transversely to the longitudinal axis.
