  • Patent number: 11117461
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drive train for a hybrid vehicle with an internal combustion engine, with a transmission and with an electric machine, wherein the electric machine is arranged between the internal combustion engine and the transmission. The drive train can be provided in a simple, economical and/or space-saving manner in that the transmission comprises at least one overrun-enabled forward gear transmitting traction torque only and at least one overrun-free forward gear. A hybrid vehicle can be operated with a drive train of this kind easily and efficiently in that, when an overrun-enabled forward gear transmitting only traction torque is engaged and while the vehicle speed lies below a certain engagement speed for an overrun-free forward gear and at least one criterion for the presence of a driving torque is established or satisfied, the transmission is shifted into the overrun-free forward gear.

  • Patent number: 9394893
    Abstract: A controllable hydraulic oscillating slide machine includes an inner rotor arranged in a housing and having cylindrical recesses. A bearing is formed in the housing, in which a co-rotating outer rotor is mounted eccentrically to the inner rotor, the outer rotor having several pivotably suspended slide drivers that engage into the recesses of the inner rotor for rotationally driving the outer rotor by way of the inner rotor and form modifiable chambers. The slide drivers may each be coupled to a piston that is guided in a respective associated recess. A pressure level different from that in the chambers between the inner and the outer rotor may be set in the chambers delimited by the recesses and the associated pistons so that two different pressure levels may be generated and two different consumers can be supplied using the oscillating slide machine.

  • Patent number: 4531874
    Abstract: Apparatus for adhesively binding stacks of pages with a cut portion of adhesive strip has a form forming a trough arrangement to accommodate the back of the stack of pages to be stuck comprising a form bottom and two form walls disposed thereon. The loose pages are jogged into flush condition on an abutment plate and then held in a clamp. After the portion of adhesive strip has been fed into a position covering the trough arrangement, the back of the stack pages is shifted laterally and inserted into the form arrangement and retracted from the form after the portion of adhesive strip has been stuck to the back. The abutment plate is disposed parallel beside the trough arrangement at a higher level than the form walls and the clamp is mounted on a slide guide means which is movable parallel and normal to the plane of the form bottom.

  • Patent number: 4531873
    Abstract: Apparatus for feeding a cut portion of adhesive strip for sticking the back of a book block or the like has a path for longitudinally guiding the adhesive strip drawn from a roll. In the path, a severing blade is located above a working table upstream from a deposit means for the portion of adhesive strip. Laterally of the working table and parallel to the deposit means is a slide guide having a slide from which projects a gripper having a clamp for gripping the end of the adhesive strip which is held in a waiting position at the cutting location of the severing blade. The slide guide extends from the region of the severing blade to beyond the end of the deposit means and stops are provided in the course of the slide guide means for stopping the slide.
