A motor which drives a single louvre is provided in or on the frame on an engine side of the frame. On the same side is a coupling element which synchronously transmits the rotation of the louvre to the other louvres. A locking disc is provided for each louvre on the mounting side of the frame facing away from the engine side of the frame, in the region of the mounting provided there for the louvres. The locking discs have a form which, if at least one of the locking discs does not rotate synchronously with all the other locking discs, blocks the rotational movement of the locking discs in a force-fitting and form-fitting manner.

Next, opening the mould, the shells (2, 3) remaining in a respective mould. Then, turning or shifting at least one of the two moulds such that the concave interior sides of the shells are aligned against each other and closing the mould, so that the edge regions (7, 8) of the shells come into face-to-face contact. Injection material is injected into a cavity (49) between or adjacent to the edge areas (7, 8), forming an all-round welded seam (11) between the upper part (2) and the lower part (3). Finally the mould is opened and the at least one container is removed.

The method comprises the following steps: i) providing a blank (28) having a material thickness (Mat) and a contour prepared for the portion (19), for example an optimally shaped end cap contour (27); ii) bending the optimally shaped end cap contour (27) in a bending process; iii) forming a sharp edge (21) along the bent portion (19), wherein a punch (31) for the edge-forming process, comprising a side surface (33, 37) which is stepped so as to correspond substantially to the material thickness (Mat) and which faces the die (30) and counter die (32), is guided along the side surfaces (52, 35) of the counter die (32) and die (30) such that the step (34) in the side surface (33, 37) of the punch (31) engages with the marginal edge (56) and displaces the material of the folded portion (19) towards the edge portion (21), thereby forming a sharp edge.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing a pot-shaped component (80, 100) from a flat blank (1). The pot-shaped component (80, 100) has a substantially flat bottom area (82, 102) and a circumferential frame (81, 101) extending up from the bottom area (82, 102) in the manner of a collar, which frame is connected to the bottom area. The blank (1) has a first material thickness (D) substantially over the entire area of the blank and the bottom area (82, 102) has a second material thickness (D9), which is greater than the first material thickness (D). According to the invention, the method is characterized by at least the following steps: a) shaping the flat blank (1) in at least one deep-drawing step to form a pot-shaped raw component (17, 30, 50) having a substantially flat bottom area (15, 32, 52) and a circumferential frame (16, 31, 51) extending up from the bottom area (15, 32, 52) in the manner of a collar, which frame is connected to the bottom area, b) shaping said pot-shaped raw component (17, 30, 50) in a tool having a conically tapered die (71) and a preferably travel-controlled thrust element (75) that applies thrust to the circumferential surface of the frame (16, 31, 51) of the raw component (17, 30, 50) in the axial direction against the conically tapered die (71). In step b), the bottom area (15, 32, 52) of the raw component (17, 30, 50) is clamped at least in some areas between an ejector (72) and a hold-down means (70) and the conically tapered die (71) surrounds the bottom area (15, 32, 52) of the raw component (17, 30, 50) radially on the outside and extends in a diameter-reducing manner in the tool stroke.

Abstract

The invention provides a process for producing filters, in particular food filters, in which process at least one filter hole is made in a metal surface (7) by means of laser machining. In the production process, a laser beam (2) is produced along an axis z by means of a laser source (1). The diameter of the laser beam is adjusted in a direction x and a direction y, which are perpendicular to one another and to the axis z, by means of a diameter control unit (5). The laser beam evaporates metal material from the metal surface (7) over a time interval T until the metal surface (7) is cut through and a filter hole is produced. According to the present invention, the diameter of the laser beam (2) is changed over the time interval T by the diameter control unit (5) in the direction x and/or the direction y, and a filter hole is produced having a diameter which changes along a hole axis.

Abstract

A description is given of a method for producing an offset (7) in a metal sheet (2) in a forming process, wherein the sheet (2) is formed in at least one step between a female die (1) with a recess of a predetermined contour (4) and a male die (3) with a peripheral form given essentially by the same contour (4) in a way that guides the contours (4) essentially congruently one on the other. The method is first characterized in that the depth of penetration of the male die (3) into the sheet (2) in a first direction (R1) is set in said first forming process in such a way that a first height (H1), which corresponds essentially to the target height of the offset (7), is reached in the decisive peripheral zones of the offset (7), while the raised surface (8) of the remaining offset (7) reaches a greater height (H). The method is also characterized in that, in a further forming process, the offset (7) is reversed with a resetting die (5), which covers at least said contour (4), in a second direction (R2) counter to the first direction (R1) in such a way that essentially the entire raised surface (8) of the offset (7) is arranged at a second height (H2).
