Title: Method and device for distributing a flow of bulk material amongst several sub-flows
Inventor: EXNER HUBERTUS
IPC: B65G47/72
Filed: 1999-01-28
Abstract: A method for distributing a flow of bulk material amongst several sub-flows. The method is characterized in that the flow of bulk material accumulates in an essentially vertically oriented pipe. The sub-flows branch off from the accumulated flow of bulk material are led over a horizontal or slightly inclined section so that a bank forms inside and blocks the sub-flow. The bulk material is then removed from the sub-flow by vibration, the bank block being constantly replaced by the particles which slide down correspondingly. A device for distributing a flow of bulk material amongst several sub-flows utilizes a supply container located upstream connected to at least one substantially vertical distribution pipe connected downstream. The distribution pipe has at least one part that branches off with a branch pipe connected thereto and with the branch pipe having a section which is positioned at a slightly smaller downstream angle than the bank of bulk material.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une tôle double constituée de deux couches de couverture (1, 2), qui délimitent un espace intermédiaire, et d'un matériau de remplissage (3) qui remplit ledit espace intermédiaire. Ce matériau est une matière plastique, en particulier une matière poreuse thermodurcissable, à laquelle sont incorporés des corps durs (6, 7, 8, 9). Pour permettre l'obtention à la fois d'un grammage faible et d'un moment d'inertie géométrique le plus élevé possible, en particulier pour éviter, lors d'une sollicitation en pression, un flambage de la tôle de couverture (1) jouant le rôle de bande de compression, le matériau de remplissage se caractérise, lorsque les deux tôles sont pressées l'une contre l'autre, par au moins deux courbes caractéristiques de tension/allongement. Ce matériau de remplissage présente en particulier des pores fermés les uns par rapport aux autres. La proportion de matière plastique du matériau de remplissage (3) servant de matrice pour les corps durs (6, 7, 8, 9) définit la courbe caractéristique de tension/allongement correspondant à la partie molle, tandis que les corps durs (6, 7, 8, 9) définissent la courbe caractéristique de tension/allongement correspondant à la partie dure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a simplified and more economical method of producing contact bushings for electric plug-in connectors consisting of a stable sleeve body and a plurality of contacting means such as contact wires or contact strips which establish a line-shaped or strip-like contact with a contact pin, whereby said contact wires or contact strips are twisted and oriented around the axis of said tubes. The stable sleeve body consists of a sheet metal material and the two ends of the contacting means are joined to said sheet metal material. The inventive method is carried out in a series of separate but simultaneously occurring operations: a) a continuous strip of sheet metal material is provided as a carrier material with a dome-shaped part or comparable longitudinally central deformation perpendicular to the plane thereof, b) a series of contact strips are produced simultaneously from another strip of material, c) the contacting means are connected to the sheet metal material forming the stable sleeve body, and d) longitudinal sections corresponding to the lateral surface of the continuous strip of the semi-finished product fitted with said contact means are cut into lengths and rolled to form a contact bushing. The method is simplified and made more economical by freely cutting away the contact means, contact wires or contact strips and leaving edge strips to guarantee spacing from a strip of material whose width is greater than the width of the strip of material used to produce the stable sleeve body in addition to joining them to the strip of material that forms the stable sleeve body, whereby said material is provided with a deformation that is oriented in a perpendicular position with respect to the plane thereof.
