Abstract: A folding machine includes an entrance feed for the infeed of materials to be folded which are operated on by a plurality of folding devices arranged along the feed path, each of which feeds the material after folding into a receiving pocket which has an adjustable stop. The stop is adjusted so that the materials being fed are received in the pocket at the correct location so as to position them for subsequent folding or for ejecting at an ejection point. The invention provides a conveyor belt which operates so that an upper transport reach is movable below the ejection point to receive the folded materials. Associated with the conveyor is a brake element which overlies the materials which are fed on the conveyor transport reach. The brake element rests on the folding material and is mounted so that it applies a yieldable pressure on the materials as they moved therealong.

Abstract: A pneumatic sheet feeder for removing individual sheets from a stack comprises a table having a surface for supporting a stack of sheets. A pair of parallel guide rails are provided on the table and with facing surfaces so that the stack is confined between the guide rails for movement in a feed direction across the table. Blast nozzles are provided in the guide rails for blowing air against the stack to form an air cushion between lower sheets of the stack. A suction cylinder is rotatably mounted to the table and includes a suction chamber therein for receiving a vacuum. Radial openings in the suction chamber cause a suction induced adhesion of a leading edge of a lowermost feed in the stack so that with rotation of the cylinder, the lowermost feed is fed in the feed direction away from the rest of the stack. A single blower is provided with a pair of two-way solenoid valves and a switching circuit is provided for alternately activating the valves.

Abstract: A folding machine for folding sheet material comprises a housing defining a space and having an in-take opening and a discharge opening for sheet material before and after it is folded. A frame is provided in the housing and carries four rollers which are engaged with each other to form a take-in nip for receiving sheet material from the in-take opening, a first folding nip for executing a first fold on the paper and a second folding nip for executing a second fold of the paper. The rollers are engaged to each other by gears and are rotated by a single electric motor for moving the sheet material from the take-in nip to the first folding nip and from the first folding nip to the second folding nip. A pocket is formed upstream of the first folding nip in the housing for receiving the sheet of paper to stop its forward progress. The sheet of paper is continued to be fed by the take-in nip so that it folds into the first folding nip which draws the now once folded paper from the first pocket.

Abstract: The device has a scanning member, adjustable in relation to the rpm, for the determination of the full load injection amount and a support attachable to a base and holding a contour disk in a predetermined position, the latter serving as a stop for the scanning member. The support can be attached with the aid of a holding element in such a way, that the first adjustment position of the support equipped with the contour disk is permanently fixed. Even after the support has been removed, its renewed fixing in the first adjustment position is assured (FIG. 3).

Abstract: A device for distributing sheets in a predetermined sequence into a plurality of collecting pockets successively arranged in a horizontal sheet feed path includes a guide member connected at the upper end of each of a plurality of walls successively arranged beneath the feed path to define the collecting pockets. The guide member extends at a substantially equal angle of inclination relative to the feed path and a deflection plane through which the sheets are deflected. A guide tongue connected to the guide plate extends in the same plane of inclination of the guide plate and projects into an adjacent one of the collecting pockets. A guide fin, connected to the guide plate, is provided for preventing areal contact between a deflected sheet and a guide plate.

Abstract: A hand-held power tool has a tool holder, a tool axially reciprocable in the tool holder, and a striking mechanism including a drive piston and a striker having a disc-shaped plate with a small axial dimension and a striker shaft having a cross sectional dimension corresponding to that of a tool shaft. The striker shaft transmits impact energy directly to a rear end face of the tool shaft without an intermediate member.

Abstract: The present weapons system enables an aircraft to attack simultaneously a urality of targets in an aimed, guided manner by a like plurality of small missiles or projectiles. For this purpose the missiles are carried in a rotatable drum type platform comprising respective launching tubes. The firing control system of the aircraft includes a computer which takes into account automatically the target coordinates and other data for selecting that missile which is most suitable for a particular target, whereby the rotatable platform requires a minimum of rotation for aiming the missile with a proper lead factor at the respective target. The missile is then automatically fired without any need of the aircraft heading toward the target.

Abstract: A hand-held power tool has a tool holder for holding a tool, a striking mechanism including a cylindrical sleeve, a drive piston reciprocable in the sleeve, and a striker actuated by the latter, and a drive motor located axially parallel with and laterally adjacent to the cylindrical sleeve. The drive motor transmits the movement to the striking mechanism through a crank drive which is a one-stage crank drive and has a drive train extending transversely to a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical sleeve. The crank drive includes a rotatable shaft, a bevel gear fixedly mounted on one end portion of the drive shaft and meshing with a drive pinion of the motor, and a crank lever mounted on the other end portion of the drive shaft and connected with the drive piston of the striking mechanism. A fan is mounted on the motor shaft and operative for aspirating air, so that air flows through the motor, then flows around the cylindrical sleeve of the striking mechanism and then discharges toward the tool holder.

Abstract: A centrifugal rpm governor for fuel injected motor vehicles, in which the control stroke, which is detected by a lever controlled follower on an adapting surface, is enlarged for a more precise control of the adaptation. A translated shift lever is used as the control lever, which is coupled with the governor adjusting member and the lever carrying the follower. To improve the quality of the governor, the shift lever engages an adapting lever, which carries the follower and which is arranged nearly parallel to the intermediate lever. By means of an adjusting member, which is provided with an adapting control and retraction spring, and which is separated in the governor and adapting sleeve, the use of the governor as an idling as well as a maximum rpm governor is made possible.

Abstract: A centrifugal force speed governor for fuel injected internal combustion engines having at least a negative adjustment capability. In such a centrifugal force speed governor the following structural components are included: speed responsive structure; at least one adaptation spring; an adjustment member; an intermediate lever; a yield support; a control element; a stop; an energy storing structure; and a setting lever having a pin mounted thereto. The adjustment member is coupled to the speed responsive structure, the adaptation spring, the control element and through the control element to the yield support, while the setting lever engages, with its pin, the intermediate lever, the control element and the energy storing structure. When the adjustment member is displaced by the speed responsive structure and under the regulation of the adaptation spring, a displacement of the intermediate lever via the control element and the setting lever pin occurs.

Abstract: A device for controlling and monitoring the level of a washing liquid in a washing unit of a printing machine which includes a wash tank having a washing liquid therein and a pickup roller mounted in the tank and rotatable in the washing liquid to lift the liquid on the surface of the roller and transfer it to a rubber blanket roller to be cleaned, comprises a control tank which is connected to the wash tank and arranged at substantially the same level as the control tank. A supply tank for the washing liquid is located above the control tank and supplies liquid into the control tank under the regulation of an electromagnetically controlled valve. The valve is switched in order to provide for flow from the supply tank into the control tank in accordance with the level in the control tank. The level of the control tank therefore maintains a level in the wash tank by virtue of the flow between the control tank to the wash tank.

Abstract: A variable speed control apparatus is provided for operating a work member in a first mode at a given uninterrupted speed and in a second mode intermittently in incremental movements.

The work member is operated in the first mode in response to actuation of the coupling means into driving relation with the motor and, in response to actuation of the coupling means out of driving relation with the motor, the actuator means operates the control means for operating the work member in the second mode.

Abstract: A sheet distributing device includes a plurality of sheet receiving pockets for receiving sheets in a predetermined sequence. A flexible belt conveyor is provided for transporting sheets in a transport plane adjacent in-feed openings of the pockets. A pair of guide rolls is positioned at the in-feed opening of each of the pockets and each pair of rolls is positioned tangent to a lower run of the belt conveyor and extends transverse to the transport plane in spaced apart parallel relation. A deflector means is movable on a path parallel to the transport plane and also between a raised position and a lowered position against the lower run of the belt conveyor. In the lowered position the deflector means locally deforms the belt conveyor into a loop between a pair of the guide rolls to thereby divert a sheet from the transport plane and direct it into a pocket.
