Title: Sheet metal forming die assembly with textured die surfaces
Inventor: YAO ZHICONG
IPC: B21D22/26
Filed: 2003-11-04
Abstract: An improved stamping die assembly is provided for controlling the flow of sheet metal during the draw forming process. The die assembly includes a textured die surface on the one or both sides of the binder mating surfaces that replaces conventional draw and lock beads. The textured die surface can be formed using direct metal deposition of a hard material, harder than the existing die surfaces, on the existing die base material to achieve an engineered textured surface. The textured die surface optimizes the performance of the die by enabling longer die life, higher coefficients of friction between the mating binder surfaces and reduction of wrinkles and stringers typically caused by draw and lock beads in the draw forming process.

Title: Packaging machine
Inventor: NATTERER JOHANN
IPC: B31B50/10
Filed: 2004-06-10
Abstract: The present invention relates to a packaging machine which has transport means in the form of two transport chains (5, 6) for lateral grasping and transporting of a length of material (7) consisting of packaging material. In particular with longer plants above approximately 10m in transport length the stretching property of the transport chains owing to the load has a marked effect on the precision of the transport distance. This results in fluctuations of the transport distance between the two transport chains and therefore distortions of the length of material, which, depending on the type of packaging material, can even lead to tearing of the length of material. In order to minimise these fluctuations, the first transport means (5) has a first engagement element (10) engaging in the first transport means (5) and the second transport means (6) a second engagement element (11) engaging in the second transport means (6), the first engagement element (10) being coupled to the second engagement element (11) in such a way that the two engagement elements are synchronised.
