Patent number: 7398574Abstract: In a method for treating ropelike textile goods in a closed container that contains at least two axially adjacent J-boxes for receiving textile goods during at least part of the treatment time, a driving motion in a feeding direction is imparted to the textile goods, by means of a gaseous flow of feeding medium made to act on the rope via feed nozzle means. The textile goods, before entering each J-box, pass through separate feed nozzle means assigned to that J-box. Upon exiting from these feed nozzle means, the textile goods are introduced selectively into the respective associated first J-box or a second J-box adjacent to this J-box, or in the case of at least one J-box are conducted along a predetermined path, which carries the textile goods away from this J-box.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2005Date of Patent: July 15, 2008Assignee: Then Maschinen (B.V.I.)

Patent number: 6892965Abstract: Disclosed is a fuel injection valve including a valve body and a bore, embodied as a blind bore, whose bottom face is oriented toward the combustion chamber, and a conical valve seat having at least one injection port is disposed, is embodied on the bottom face. In the bore, a pistonlike valve member, which is longitudinally displaceable counter to a closing force, is disposed and has a valve member tip, which in the closing position of the valve member comes to rest on the valve seat. A first conical face and a second conical face, disposed toward the combustion chamber toward the first conical face, are embodied on the valve member tip, and the cone angle of the first conical face is smaller than the cone angle of the valve seat, which in turn is smaller than the cone angle of the second conical face.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2001Date of Patent: May 17, 2005Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Rainer Haeberer, Markus Ohnmacht, Wilhelm Christ, Ralf Maier, Stefan Haug, Wolfgang Fleiner, Markus Rueckle
