Workpiece transport system for presses used in factory has suction cups attached to tilting beam with pivoting lever and swing link on traverse beam with horizontal actuator

Abstract: The suction beam (4) may have three suction heads (5) engaging the workpiece (2) and lifting it. The beam carries a short lever (9) connected to a first pivot (8) on a carriage on the traverse beam (1), to allow a swiveling motion. A link (10) is connected to a second pivot (12), fixed on the traverse beam, and has a pivot (11) on its lower end attached to the suction beam. There may be a quick-change system (18) and a horizontally-extending actuator (6) to move the carriage along the traverse beam.

Abstract: A cellular wheel sluice, comprising a housing with an inlet opening and an outlet opening, side covers, a cellular wheel with a shaft, and the bearing of the shaft with fixed and loose bearing.

Gender differences in financial knowledge and behavior - design of standard-oriented personal finance education

Abstract: All across Europe the enhancement of financial capability becomes increasingly important. E.g. in Great Britain “Personal Finance Education” was implemented mandatorily in the school curricula from class one to class ten from 2011 onwards. Relevant empirical studies on the level of financial knowledge reveal considerable deficits, which on the one hand are bigger for women than for men. On the other hand behavioral approaches focus on anomalies, which vary when comparing women and men and in particular have negative impacts when men are considered. This article discusses gender differences and models a gender-sensitive, standardized personal finance education that can be applied in teaching and learning arrangements at school.

Device and method for producing profiled bodies

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for producing longitudinal grooves in cylindrical workpieces, especially for producing longitudinal grooves having an irregular profile. The forming process is carried out by means of segmental wheels (13) in a similar manner to that of a rolling method.

Device for cleaning pneumatic plastic granulate conveyor pipelines comprises rotary slide valve that a conveyor position enables unobstructed granulate addition in a cleaning position forms a pipe segment preventing granulate addition

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for cleaning pneumatic Kunststoffgranulatforderleitungen with a bypass pig, wherein from at least one silo, the plastic granules via at least one rotary valve and a feed shoe of the feed line can be fed, wherein the task shoe is arranged around a rotary axis rotatable rotary valve, which is arranged in a first conveying position allows unimpeded granule feed into the delivery line and in a second pigging / cleaning position, a pipe segment which completes the delivery line, which prevents granule feed into the delivery line, is formed. This device allows either the unimpeded feeding of the plastic granules during conveyance on the one hand, and on the other hand in the Rienigungszyklus the pig passage below the feed points under the rotary valves without obstruction or disturbance. The cleaning below the rotary valves was previously very complicated and time-consuming and only possible with low quality in the prior art.
