Patent CA-2584998-A1 (CA)
Inventor: EISENBLAETTER GERD
IPC: B23Q3/12
Filed: 2007-04-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a fastening system for mounting a roller-shaped tool on a drive shaft of a drive motor with the help of a fastening adapter comprising a hollow-cylindrical basic body which comprises in the interior a fastening apparatus for mounting on a drive shaft. A plurality of lamellae originate from the hollow-cylindrical basic body which are distributed about the cylinder axis and are spaced from one another by slits and which are each tilted in their direction perpendicular to the cylinder axis by a predetermined angle relative to the radial direction. The outside diameter of the fastening adapter can be reduced elastically by exerting pressure or the action of a shearing force in the direction of the tilting on the lamellae. The roller-shaped tool comprises a rigid cylindrical pass-through opening for this purpose whose inside diameter is smaller than the outside diameter of the fastening adapter in the relaxed state. The invention further relates to a fastening adapter for use in a fastening system and a method for fastening a roller-shaped tool with a tubular pass-through opening on a fastening adapter for a drive shaft of a drive motor, with the fastening adapter being embraced with a twist and thus being compressed and being slid in this state into the pass-through opening of the tool, that the compression is then removed, whereupon the fastening adapter expands again in the pass-through opening and thus forms a torsionally rigid connection with the tool by clamping and frictional engagement with the tool on its outer jacket surface.

Title: Method and device for monitoring a road processing machine
Inventor: BUEHLMANN ANDREAS
IPC: E01C19/00
Filed: 2005-12-19
Abstract: The aim of the invention is to monitor the travel way of a road processing machine (2) that drives on a basic surface (1) as well as the working height of a working part (4) which is disposed thereon in a vertically adjustable manner. Said aim is achieved by detecting the three-dimensional position of a positional element (11), determining a direction of travel from at least two three-dimensional positions, and determining the working height of the working part (4). The determined direction of travel is compared to a setpoint direction while the working height is compared to a setpoint height. The positional element (11) is placed in a position that is at a horizontal distance from the working part (4). The vertical component of the three-dimensional position of the positional element (11) is converted into the working height of the working part (4) with the aid of at least one value of at least one reference determination. At least one inclination sensor (14) is used for determining the reference if the positional element (11) and the working part (4) are interconnected in a fixed fashion. Additionally, at least one first distance from the positional element (11) to the basic surface (1) can be measured while at least one second distance from the working part (4) to the basic surface can be measured in a delayed manner, the delay being selected based on the driving speed or the determination of the position in such a way that the two measurements are taken substantially at the same reference point. This simple solution allows the direction of travel and the working height of the working part (4) to be accurately monitored.
