Patent EP-0125941-B1 (EP)
IPC: B65H49/02
Filed: 1984-03-23
Granted: 1986-07-30
Abstract: Process and apparatus for unwinding hollow coils of wire quickly and reliably without mishaps such as jammed turns, the formation of knots or blockages, wire breakage and the like. The coils are positioned with their axes vertical and then are gripped externally by a corset element to retain the coils stationary during unwinding. Wire is withdrawn upwardly from the hollow of the coil and slides over a pressure device en route to a fixed eyelet and a rotatable drum disposed above the coil. The pressure device exerts pressure on the top of the coil to stabilize the coil during unwinding, and increases slightly the curvature of the unwinding turns of wire to facilitate withdrawal. Actuator devices are provided for opening and closing the corset element and for raising and lowering the pressure device. Two or more apparatuses may be provided for continuous unwinding. In such a plural arrangement, a wire connector between adjacent apparatuses joins the end of one coil to the beginning of the next coil, by welding or the like, whereby unwinding of wire can be carried out without stoppage upon depletion of a coil.

Granted: 1990-07-04
Abstract: A vibratory temperature transducer includes a pair of elongate, generally parallel bars coupled together at one end in a type of tuning fork arrangement. The bars each have a thickness of t, a width of w and a length between free and fixed ends of L. The distance between the free end and the point where the bars are coupled together is m. Apparatus is provided to cause the bars to vibrate in torsional opposition, where the frequency of vibration is generally a function of temperature. Apparatus is also provided for determining the frequency of vibration of the bars so that when the bars are subjected to a change in temperature, the temperature can be readily determined by simply determining the magnitude of the frequency change. By careful determination of the dimensions L, m, t and w, spurious modes of oscillation of the transducer, which cause a reduction in the mechanical Q and thus an erroneous reading of temperature, are avoided.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for casting metal strip include a moveable chill body (7) having a quench surface (5) thereon. A nozzle mechanism (4) deposits a stream of molten metal onto a quenching region (14) of the quench surface to form the strip (6), and a gas supply mechanism (8, 12) provides an initial gas mixture, which consists essentially of carbon monoxide and oxygen. An ignition mechanism ignites the initial gas mixture to create an exothermic reaction which provides a low density reducing flame atmosphere at a depletion region (13) located substantially adjacent to and upstream from the quenching region. A control mechanism (16) controls the initial gas mixture to produce an adjusted reducing flame atmosphere at the depletion region in which the adjusted reducing flame has a burnt gas composition that includes substantially no free oxygen.

Abstract: The measurement system for determining the rotation angle or torque of a machine part subjected to torsion has a first torsion spring element (10) in the form of an input shaft, as well as a second torsion spring element (12), a separate torque being fed to each. The first torque is applied to the input shaft, for example a drive wheel (23), which, for example, is driven by an electric motor. The angular discrepancy between the output shaft and input shaft is determined at a comparison point (18) by a suitable sensor element (17). In this way one can obtain a very simple and trouble-free differential torque measurement unit.
