Patent EP-0349337-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SAUNDERS WILLIAM T
IPC: B21D51/26
Filed: 1989-06-30
Abstract: Apparatus for moving a can body from a forming station (18) enables sheet metal bodies to be transferred rapidly, in synchronism with movements of forming tooling (24, 26) without damage to sheet metal or coating while controlling orientation and stability of the can body. A shuttle-arm (32) oscillates in the longitudinal direction of the can line, into and out of the area of the press tooling (24, 26) to transfer a can body for continued movement in the line. The shuttle arm (32) moves at a rate which does not obstruct any movement of the forming tooling or the operating rate of the press. A formed can body is attracted to and physically held at the distal end of the shuttle arm (32) in desired orientation without mechanical movement clamping of any type by a stacked array of permanent magnets (60 to 66) and pole pieces (70 to 78). Movement of the shuttle arm (32) longitudinally in relation to a wiper-arm (34) separates the can body at a desired location without requiring separate mechanical moving parts. The pole pieces (70 to 78) present a surface (42) which matches a portion of the contour of the can body.

Title: Oil separator
Inventor: CALUPCA GARY A
IPC: F25B43/02
Filed: 1989-02-28
Abstract: Oil separation for a horizontal refrigeration srew com­pressor is achieved in a series of steps which achieves nearly oil-free refrigerant gas. The refrigerant is dis­charged from the compressor into a generally cylindrical shell which is divided into three chambers (18, 19, 20). A generally horizontal, but slightly tilted, divider plate (16) unequally divides the cylindrical shell into two cham­bers (18, 19) for the greater portion of the cylindrical shell. A cylindrical chamber (20) at the end of the cylin­drical shell provides fluid communication between the other two chambers (18, 19). The compressor discharge is located in the lower and larger chamber (18) which is a segment of a circle portion which also contains the oil sump. A dis­charge deflector (30) turns the compressor discharge flow at least 90°, but as much as 135°, and causes it to impact upon the lower surface of the divider plate (16) and depo­siting oil thereon. The flow striking the divider plate (16) is deflected 180° and is caused to turn approximately 90° to flow past a baffle plate (34). The entire flow passes serially through two demisters (40, 42) into the cylindrical chamber (20) where it is deflected 180° and the entire flow passes through a coalescer (50) into the upper chamber (19) which is a smaller segment of a circle portion. The nearly oil-free refrigerant gas then is delivered to the refrigeration system.

Abstract: The central processor successively interrogates in a cyclic sequence via line trunk groups the in each case two concentrator processors provided in concentrators for temporarily stored data. Concentrators are set up for interworking with the central processor and with line trunk groups of in each case a relatively old and relatively new type of construction. The volume of the temporarily stored data to be transmitted on the basis of being interrogated depends on this type of construction. The concentrator extracts the type-of-construction feature from the interrogation signal and stores it. Each concentrator continuously non-destructively reads the temporarily stored data and outputs this to an interrogation station in the neighbouring concentrator processor as determined by the stored type-of-construction feature. If the central processor recognises that it is not reaching a concentrator, it interrogates the relevant data at the interrogation station in the neighbouring concentrator processor. <IMAGE>
