Patent EP-0527805-B1 (EP)

IPC: B21D37/14

Abstract: An improved punch retainer is disclosed in which a backing plate extends over a relatively large surface area to dissipate force from a punch. A punch retainer body and the backing plate are permanently connected to each other and include passages which are finally ground after the two have been permanently connected. With this arrangement, it is ensured that passages within the backing plate and retainer body are all properly aligned during formation of the punch retainer. Since the backing plate dissipates force over a relatively large surface area, the punch retainer may be used in heavier applications than prior art punch retainers. A spring passage is closed off by a seal received in the backing plate, allowing the use of standard springs.

Abstract: In the production of radio equipment which consists of a number of pieces of apparatus, individual production strips are to be combined without losing flexibility. To combine a number of production strips in the device according to the invention, a computer is used which controls the sequence of the individual production steps. The first production step consists of a calibration of the modules of the radio equipment. After that, the computer generates an individual identification and a data word which defines the features, both of which are stored in the pieces of apparatus of the radio equipment. The device according to the invention finally carries out a function test, the results of which are combined in production statistics and supply information on the rate of failure of individual modules. The main field of application of the device according to the invention lies in the production of cordless telephones. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A selectively actuatable lighter device (10) is disclosed which includes a body defining reservoir (12) for containing a combustible gaseous medium such as butane, and having a valve (20) arranged to be selectively actuated between a normally closed position and an open position which permits the exit of the gaseous medium. Such lighter (10) can selectively produce sparks at a location (19, 22) proximate to the gaseous medium exit to ignite the gaseous medium. Such lighter device (10) embodies a resiliently releasable valve actuator (14) which normally prevents actuation of the valve (22). The valve actuator (14) includes an interfering portion (14A) which is selectively movable to a position (Fig. 11) out of interference with an interfering portion (12A) of the lighter body, so that the gaseous medium may be released and ignited by the sparks. Once the valve actuator (14) is depressed and released, it returns to its closed or latched position to prevent actuation of the valve to the open position. To "re-use" the lighter, the valve actuator (14) must again be moved to an unlatched position so that the valve (22) can be actuated for subsequent ignition of the gaseous medium.

Abstract: The method serves for operating an adsorber, in particular an activated charcoal adsorber for the selective adsorption of substances from aqueous solutions, in particular for water treatment. The adsorber is provided with an adsorber housing having at least one inlet port and at least one outlet port for the medium to be purified. The adsorber housing receives the packing comprising activated charcoal to fill its volume. The medium (water) is passed via the inlet side of the adsorber housing at intervals following each other with respect to time through regions of the packing following each other with respect to space within the housing in the direction of flow of the medium. The flow velocity of the medium in each of the individual packing regions following each other with respect to space essentially continuously increases between the respective entry into this region and the discharge from this region to the outside. The medium is passed at essentially constant flow velocity through the respective regions of the packing upstream of this last-mentioned region through which flow simultaneously passes. <IMAGE>
